We are winding down the "Year of Faith" that was promulgated by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI over a year ago.
Jesus asked in the Gospel last Sunday: "When the Son of Man comes, will He find any faith on the earth?" Such a statement is first and foremost a challenge for each individual believer to grow in his or her knowledge of the faith, and in trust of Jesus who is the Messiah and Savior of the world. If we haven't taken advantage of opportunities to grow during this "Year of Faith", we need not despair. More opportunities will present themselves to us, starting with Jesus being present to us in the Monstrance in our Perpetual Adoration Chapel 24 hours a day, seven days a week starting after the 4:00 p.m. Mass on November 16. I believe it was through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit during this "Year of Faith" that we were moved in the direction of having this great blessing for our parish and for all who take time to be with Jesus in prayer for an hour or any time we choose to stop by the chapel. I truly expect a tremendous growth in faith here at Sacred Heart Church in the future. THANKS BE TO GOD!
