Can You Make a Difference? Too often we tend to feel as though our lives are not nearly as important as others. We can often look to others who are far more “powerful” and “influential.” We can tend to dream about being like them. What if I had their money? Or if I had their social status? Or if I had their job? Or was as popular as they are? Too often, we fall into the trap of the “what ifs.” Matthew 13:31b-32 reveals the absolute fact that God wants to use your life for great things! The smallest seed becomes the largest bush. This begs the question, “Do you feel like the smallest seed at times?” It’s normal to feel insignificant at times and to wish we were “more.” But this is nothing more than a worldly and erroneous daydream. The truth is that each one of us is capable of making a HUGE difference in our world. No, we may not make the nightly news or receive national awards of greatness, but in God’s eyes we have potential beyond what we could ever daydream about. Put this in perspective. What is greatness? What does it mean to be transformed by God into the “largest of plants” as the mustard seed is? It means we are given the incredible privilege to fulfill the exact, perfect and glorious plan God has for our lives. It is this plan that will produce the best and most abundant eternal fruit. Sure, we may not get the name recognition here on Earth. But so what?! Does that really matter? When you are in Heaven will you be depressed that the world did not recognize you and your role? Most certainly not. In Heaven all that will matter is how holy you became and how completely you fulfilled the divine plan for your life. Saint Mother Teresa often said, “We are called to be faithful, not successful.” It is this fidelity to the will of God that matters. Reflect, today, upon two things. First, reflect upon your “littleness” before the mystery of God. By yourself you are nothing. But in that humility, reflect also upon the fact that when you live in Christ and in His divine will you are great beyond measure. Strive for that greatness and you will be eternally blessed!

Lord, I know that without You I am nothing. Without You my life has no meaning.

Help me to embrace Your perfect and glorious plan for my life and, in that plan, to achieve the greatness to which You call me.

Jesus, I trust in You.

Growing In Your Faith

The Kingdom of heaven is like a

mustard seed that a person took

and sowed in a field. It is the

smallest of all the seeds, yet when

full-grown it is the largest of

plants. It becomes a large bush,

and the birds of the sky come and

dwell in its branches.

Matthew 13:31b-32

Change, it is not easy nor welcomed by most of us, but it is inevitable. We do not grow if we are stagnant, we grow through change and trials. We are surely getting a taste of trials through

this pandemic and with our change of priests.

As it says in Psalm 32:8

I will instruct you and show you the way you should walk, give you counsel and watch over you.

With this verse, we know God has all our worries, our concerns, he is with us always and sends his workers to help us on our path to holiness. So, let us not worry. Let us be thankful for those whom Christ gave us as guides and embrace our new priests who will walk with us on our journey to the Father.

Thank you, Fr. Mathew Simonar & Fr. Zachary Weber. May God bless you in your new assignments.

Welcome Fr. Joel Sember and Fr. Callistus Elue!
