Why God Permits Suffering

June 16, 2013By Servants Of The Holy Family

^{Sermon From The}^{4th Sunday After Pentecost 2013}

Today is also Father’s Day. This vocation is attacked in our society and only adds to the suffering and sacrifices that fathers must endure for the sake of their families but God always hears their prayers and heaven awaits them. The Black Forest fires that have been destroying many homes in our area have even threatened us but God has preserved us. We have many spiritual helps to protect us and all are welcome here in case of danger. Things like this make people wonder how evils exist in a world created by our heavenly Father Who saw that all was good. Non-Catholics are at a loss to answer such questions and some conclude that God cannot exist. We know that there are many reasons why we suffer and imitating Our Lord on the cross and winning eternal glory is certainly one of them.

The Covenant Has Been Renewed

March 31, 2013By Servants Of The Holy Family

Easter Sunday 2013
We have now had the culmination of the whole Lenten season. We have been catechumens and penitents in preparation for our union with Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Now we walk with Christ in the liturgy. Our Lenten time of training began with the season of examination, then we had to follow Christ to Jerusalem. The Blessed Mother offered her Son on the Cross for each one of us. We have now renounced Satan and proclaimed our faith. We may be small and afraid, just as the Apostles were, but Our Lord had not forgotten them and he has not forgotten us. All order is restored by Christ’s words, “peace be to you.”
