There are many people that I know who really need our prayers for this new life in Christ. We are besieged by so many problems and health need, so many cares and anxieties in our world today that we really do need to live the Easter victory in our lives. Our parish life is the strongest when we support and help one another. We are led by the Lord to comfort each other in His love.
Life can be pretty tough at times.
When we come to church and share these things with our friends in Christ, we will be assured that they will pray for us. We are at our best when we care for each other. Lately, I have been seeing many examples of our people caring for one another. And, yes, sometimes we need to hear that it is vital to our Christian faith to allow someone else to know about a surgery or a family problem or a time of severe testing. The risk is that we will receive a special blessing from the Lord through the life of Christ in our people, the Church.
