After all, 6/24-Kelly Bollinger maybe God’s patient, unconditional love has run its course 6/24-Mary Klug and He is finally fed up with humanity’s reluctance to 6/25-Jaden Kerner accept the truth about who we are. God really can’t be that 6/25-Hope Phillis patient! All throughout human history, many have prayed to God for intervention or for particular needs. Because their 6/25-Jonah Radzikinas prayers were not answered in the way they wanted or 6/26-Phillip Hoffmann anticipated, they felt that God may have abandoned them. 6/26-Madalyn Warzynski Were they right? It seems that we are continuing, at a rapid rate, down a path of destruction. Do you not care, God, that Happy we may be perishing? When the boats of our lives are Anniversary rocking and the seas tumultuous, we want to know that we 6/21-Ray & Faye Bednarek have God’s attention. Even more so, we want God’s 6/22-Brian & Ellen Martin intervention. 6/24-Vincent & Georgia Fitzgerald  Maybe the storms and the waves are necessary. If 6/26-Ryan & Jenny Anason we listen, they can teach us valuable lessons. Without them, we would never learn that we have the strength to endure, If you are celebrating a special anniversary and would like understand the uselessness of fear and worry, or develop the your anniversary blessed during Mass, please call the ability to really trust.
