Holy Day

Today is a Holy Day -- so I'm off to 9:00 a.m. Mass.  There's just enough time to say hello to all of you and try to put forth a short message of some kind.

So here it goes -- Our Lord wants you to know that no matter what is going on in the world, no matter what kind of strife or hardship, that He loves you and cares for you.

Our Lord wants you to know that the saints that have gone on before us light the way to union with Him, that their examples shine across the land as a beacon that roots out human frailty and failure.

And Our Lord wants you to know that your kindnesses to the people are never forgotten, that He remembers all of those little things, even when no one else knows or noticed.  He notices and He knows.

And there is HOPE.  There is no faith that offers the kind of HOPE that God offers us and provides for us when we are facing the darkness.

So that's my message today.  I just sat here and let the words come. 

So have a special day today.  Reach out to someone who needs to hear from you.  Pray for the lost and forsaken.  Pray for the sick and the suffering.

More tomorrow ... sorry this is so short.
