May 8, 2022 - God Guides and Guards Us

Part 3 of the series, “Going in Faith: Our Mission from Christ.” After offering his traditional Mother’s Day greetings, Father Harris focused on the Gospel reading in which the Lord Jesus Christ teaches, “‘“My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.’” (John 10:27). There are other times in the Gospels in which this is emphasized (e.g., The Transfiguration of the Lord in Luke 9:35). Hearing the voice of God does not have to be mysterious. Being familiar with reading the Gospels is a fundamental part of being a disciple of Christ in His Church. Therefore, our new Parish Pastoral Plan goals include strengthening the Sunday School of Religion and faith formation programing for all generations. The Word of God guides us on the journey of faith, leading us to enjoy a fruitful life that death cannot destroy. The Word of God guards us from dangers seen and unseen. [Note: Father Harris talks about the Baptism of the Lord as another time in which God says to lisen to Jesus. That is by implication.]
