My dear friends in Christ, Some of the most comforting words found in Sacred Scripture are the words “Do not be afraid.” We will again here Jesus speak these words this weekend as will be proclaimed in Mark 5:21-43. These are Jesus’ words, meant to come alive for us. Fear can keep us from living our lives as God calls us and wants us to live. Free of fear, anxiety, and free of sin. We are called to replace fear with hope, anxiety with peace, and sin with grace. Quite simply, that is what I want for all of us – my family and each of you my spiritual family. As always, it is my prayer that when you leave the doors of our church, that you leave with a sense of peace in your heart, and that any fear be replaced with the peace of Christ. This weekend we welcome Fr. Jorge Fernando Duarte Amaro, IMC, from Consolata Missionaries for our annual mission appeal. Learn more about Consolata Missionaries. May God continue to bless each of you and those that you love, and I look forward to you joining me for the celebration of Mass this weekend. Fr. Greg Comments are closed.
