Four Ways to Find Peace From “Growing in FAITH” June 2020 When the world around us looks very different from what we expect, we lose the calming, soothing peace Christ wants to give us. The best chance we have for achieving peace in the midst of chaos is to move in harmony with God’s will. Try these tips for a more peaceful life:

1. Don’t fear what is coming next. Fearing consequences of the pandemic, worrying about finances, feeling anxious about our health or the health of our loved ones can lead to frustration and dismay. There’s no peace in trying to go it alone. Instead, be open and place all your hopes, plans, and efforts at God’s feet. Let him handle your concerns for you. 2. Be kind and gentle. Resentment, anger, and frustration rob you of peace. Be gentle and considerate of your neighbor. Remember, Jesus was “meek and humble of heart” (Matthew 11:29). 3. Learn to live with what you cannot control. When you let God help you rise above such things, you’ll have the peace acceptance brings. 4. Consult the Church for answers. It isn’t always easy for us to discern God’s will, so Jesus created the . When in doubt, turn to Scripture, the Catechism, or a trusted priest or religious for advice. After all, helping us to achieve Heaven is what they’re here for!

Why do Catholics Honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus? In the late seventeenth-century France, Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and revealed the infinite love of his heart, wounded by sins. He urged her to spread this devotion, back when people were so afraid of God, they neglected his love. On this feast, Jesus addresses each of us: “Behold this Heart which has so loved you, yet is so little loved.” When we consider the many proofs of his love, we can’t help but love him in return. St. Margaret Mary Alacoque was born July 22, 1647 & died October 17, 1690. Her early years were marked by sickness and a painful home situation. “The heaviest of my crosses was that I could do nothing to lighten the cross my mother was suffering.” After considering marriage for some time, Margaret Mary entered the Order of the Visitation at the age of 24. After serving as novice mistress and assistant superior, Margaret Mary died at the age of 43, while being anointed. She said: “I need nothing but God, and to lose myself in the heart of Jesus.”

From Scripture ~ John 3:16 ~ Our Salvation ~ Sunday, June 7, 2020

The Question: Doesn’t John 3:16 clearly indicate that faith alone is necessary for salvation?

In John 3:16 Jesus says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whomsoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." It's clear that Scripture rejects the Catholic view of salvation by faith plus works. It teaches salvation by faith alone. All you have to do is believe, period.

The Answer: First of all, the Catholic view of salvation is not faith plus works, if by works you mean purely human efforts to win God’s favor. Catholics believe in salvation by grace alone, yet grace must not be resisted, either before justification (by remaining in unbelief) or after (by engaging in serious sin). Read carefully 1 Corinthians 6, Galatians 5, and Ephesians 5. Second, the Bible nowhere uses the expressions “justification by faith alone” or “salvation by faith alone.” The first was directly the invention of Luther; the second his by implication. Luther inserted “alone” into the German translation of Romans 3:28 to give credence to his new doctrine. But the question deals with John 3:16. Yes, this passage does speak of the saving power of faith, but in no sense does it diminish the role of obedience to Christ in the process of getting to heaven. In fact, it assumes it. Just as Fundamentalists over- look the rest of the chapter in connection with what being born of water and the Holy Spirit really means—they ignore the water part, which refers to baptism—they also overlook the context when interpreting Christ’s words about obtaining eternal life in John 3:16.

In John 3:36 we are told, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.”

This expands on John 3:16. It is another way of saying what Paul says in Romans 6:23: “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Although we cannot earn God’s unmerited favor by our good works, we can reject his love by our sins (that is, by our evil works) and thereby lose the eternal life he freely offers us in Christ.
