“My grace is sufficient for you.”

My dear friends in Christ,

So many of us live with the news of the day. We get up in the morning and put the television on to see what the latest news is. We get into our cars and put the radio on to get the latest news. Sometimes it’s just all bad news. We find ourselves dealing with people who are “hard of face and obstinate of heart,” people who take offense at the least suggested change or mild criticism. Sometimes we struggle with our own problems, thorns in the flesh, Angels of Satan. That’s when we need to keep our eyes and hearts fixed on the Lord, waiting for the healing word: “My grace is sufficient for you.” This is the time of year when the kids are out of school and vacation plans are in full swing and we take the time to put the ne ws behind us to focus on rest and relaxation whether it be at the Jersey Shore or elsewhere. Sometimes the latest news is unavoidable. We must always continue to focus on the Lord and make him a part of whatever we are doing this summer. We continue to ask the Lord for the grace to persevere.

The Sisters of the Servants of The Plan of God had to cancel their visit with us in June and have rescheduled their visit for the month of August. We will publish more details as they are presented to us.

Our search for a new coordinator of religious education is reaching its conclusion and a decision will be forthcoming. Please refer to upcoming bulletins regarding registration for the upcoming religious education program here at Corpus Christi.

May God bless you all!

Father John
