Hope

As we commemorate 9/11 and face on-going damage from Hurricane Irma and continuing "mop up" from Hurricane Harvey, we might pause and seek peace of mind in quiet prayer so that we do not get bogged down in panic or discouragement.
We are told time and time again in the Scriptures, especially by the Prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah, in the Psalms, from Jesus himself, and in the Letters of Paul, that we are not to fear, tremble, lose heart, despair or give up.   This magnificent universe, which seems limitless, is only a sign of God's limitless power, compassion and love. There is nothing that happens within all of creation which is unknown to him, or beyond his power to rectify. The death and resurrection of Jesus, being the prime example and cause for HOPE.  As believers, as Marists, disciples of Jesus and Mary, we follow their path of faith, allow them to pour their strength into us, and walk strong as beacons of hope, reminding folks that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.
