A Message from the Pastor....

How are we a voice of hope?  This question was posed in an article in Columbia magazine from The Knights of Columbus.  The article talks about how, as a priest, I am to be a voice of hope in a world that needs it.  I find this to be true, but I believe that should be the message of all of us who believe in Christ.  We all should ask, “How do I let my life express the hope that my faith gives me?”

This is a great question to ask ourselves.  It is a challenge along with an assessment of what we do in our lives.  Many times we get bogged down and become negative.  This is not the way of the gospel.  Christ is one who always helped to show hope.  Even as he approached the cross, he saw it as difficult, but also a way to offer life to others.  Hope is always there!

Where do we show hope to others in our lives?  Let’s make this hope that comes from God the center of what we do and who we are.
