Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
The Scripture Readings today gives us many things to think about in the current world and in the next world to come. For some it can be very scary and filled with gloom and doom about what is to come. For others it can bring peace and joy that can really make us happy hopeful people.
Oh, God, you can really make us happy, but we must come to know you, love you, and follow your directions to us.
Oh, Devil, you hated God and anyone that believes and trusts in God, you want us to love you and your hateful followers. If we want true joy and happiness, then fake promises are not the best deal.
The Devil hates peace and joy and wants instant gratification no matter who gets killed or hurt in the process.
But God told Jeremiah the Prophet, “I think thoughts of peace and not of affliction. You will call upon me, and I will answer you.”
In the Gospel, Jesus tells His followers and believers that they will suffer, be hated, imprisoned and even killed because of Him even by their own families and loved ones.
Yes, we face wars, shootings, fires, earthquakes, etc., but to know one day we can have real peace and happiness in heaven with the loving God and Jesus and all those who accepted and followed Him.
Let us all pray together today that all of us will be in heaven one day.
God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
