[email protected] 4 St. Elizabeth Seton ● Sun City, Arizona ● www.sescc.org Pastor’s Letter Open Your Heart to the Mercy and Healing of God. Say to those whose hearts are frightened: “Be strong, fear not! Here is your God, he comes with vindication; with divine recompense he comes to save you.” (Isaiah 35: 4) The Prophet Isaiah is famous for his comforting and consoling words. He is the spiritual doctor of the Old Testament. Jesus Christ comes to us today with miracles of consolation to raise us up out of our sadness. He asks: “What do you want from me today? How can I help you, as your Lord? What special miracle do you need?” Does your heart need to be opened? Is there a hardness or a deafness in your soul that Jesus needs to touch and soften? What in your life needs to hear: “Ephphatha!” — “Be opened!” What dark, silent place needs to hear these words? We all have a longing for God. Today, ask Jesus to work whatever miracle – great or small – you personally need. He will come to save you from all that harms you. He helps us to hear, to understand and to know God more deeply. “Don’t tell God how great your problems are… tell your problems how great God is!” May God richly bless each and every one of you this week… and always.
