Clergy Corner

Reflection of the Weekend of Mar. 28 & 29:

God so loves us that He sends His Son to die for us. God so wants to have a personal relationship with us, that He shares Jesus with us. When we experience pain and suffering, though, we wonder how this can be God’s plan for us. Where is God in illness, violence, betrayal, economic hardship, natural disaster, and cruelty? Why does God, who desires intimacy with us, seem so far away? And where is the Father?

We may feel like God is far away, but He isn’t. God reminds us: “When you call me, and come and pray to me, I will listen to you” (Jeremiah 29:12). Relying on God during difficult times draws us closer to Him. And if, during times of trial, we open ourselves up to God, we can be instruments of His love and grace, just as Christ was to those witnessing his passion.

As we enter this holiest time of the liturgical year, please consider ways you can pick up the cross and follow Jesus into greater intimacy with God. Please pray for the continued success of the Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal,

and please consider supporting the appeal to help lighten the crosses others are bearing.
