Dear Friends in Christ,

 

When I received this, I thought I don’t have time for it.  Then, I realized that this is the kind of thinking that has caused a lot of problems in our world.  We keep God in church on Sunday morning and, the unlikely event of a weekday service. We do like to have HIM around during sickness and, of course, at funerals.  We prefer to have HIM on our DEMAND then we on HIS DEMAND.  However, we don’t have time, or room, for HIM during work or play because that’s the part of our lives we think we can, and should, handle on our own.  May God forgive me for ever thinking that there is a time and a place where HE is not to be FIRST in my life.  We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us.

 

Yes, I do Love God.  HE is my source of existence and my Savior.  HE keeps me functioning each and every day.  Without HIM, I am nothing.  But, with Christ, HE strengthens me.

 

Why is it so hard to tell the truth yet so easy to tell a lie?

 

Why are we so sleepy in church but right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?

 

Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail, but yet we forward all of the nasty ones?

 

Isn’t it funny how simple it is to trash God and then wonder why the world’s going to hell.

 

Isn’t it funny that we are too busy for God, but still demand He answer our prayers when we NEED Him?

 

Isn’t it funny how someone can say “I believe in God” but can still follow Satan (who, by the way, does believe in God).

 

Isn’t it funny how we can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when we start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about passing them on.

 

Isn’t it funny how we can be more worried about what others think about us than what God thinks about us.

 

Think about it and then pass it on.

God Bless you this week,

 

Fr. George

ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

“Draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power” (Ephesians 6:10) “ … Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, but they did not prevail and there was no longer a place for them in heaven.” (Rev 12:7)

Pope Leo XIII had a clear recollection of St. Michael when he introduced a special prayer throughout the Church. We were asked to pray this prayer by Pope John Paul II in 1994 against the forces of evil. Abortion is certainly one of those forces. The following is a shortened version of the prayer:

Saint Michael the Archangel

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host – by the Power of God thrust into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Gracious and loving God, help the men and women of our parish hear your call to serve the Church in the Diocese of Marquette.

 

Our needs are great and our people thirst for your presence. Open the hearts of many, raise up faithful servants of the Gospel, dedicated priests, sisters, brothers, and deacons, who will spend themselves for your people and their needs.

 

Bless those who are serving now with courage and perseverance. Grant that many will be inspired by their example of faith.

 

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
