A Message from Our Pastor
February 23, 2025
Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
As we hear the reading from the First Book of Samuel today, it teaches us a very important lesson as we live today in our modern world.
King Saul was trying to kill young David because of jealousy and fear that the people were starting to follow David and replace King Saul. Saul’s love of
money, power and control had Him searching for David to kill him.
Well, David had the opportunity to kill King Saul while He was sleeping and could have done it. But David refused and allowed Saul to continue to live.
Do we have such hate as Saul had in our daily lives?
The Gospel of Luke today, sets a tone of having to live our lives in the modern world. We are not to accept the way of sin and hate and go against the message of Jesus Christ that we hear today.
Jesus tells us to love your enemies, do good to those who hate you and to pray for them, that they can change and be saved.
Jesus tells us to “stop judging, and you will not be judged. Forgive and you will be forgiven.”
Yes, our God is a loving, merciful and forgiving God and we all benefit from His love. If God can forgive us our stupid sins, can we not also forgive those who cause us pain in this life?
In two weeks, we will begin the season of Lent, starting with Ash Wednesday on March 5th, it will give us the opportunity to pray, reflect and seek God’s help to really forgive and let go of our anger and hate.
God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
