Dear Parishioners,

How many times in our lives, during times of difficulty and challenge, has Jesus walked with us and we are blinded to recognize His loving presence?

We need to remember the words of a beautiful song of faith:

“When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, Walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone.”

God’s hand is always extended to us; all we need to do is extend our hand to Him. We never have to walk alone; we make that choice!
