I am grateful that Jesus offered us
this promise: “In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer,
for I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). It only takes about 5 minutes
watching the news or surfing the internet to understand that we are living in
crazy times. The veneer of civilization just might tumble down right before our
eyes any day now. But despite all that, we truly can “be of good cheer” because
we know Who has overcome the world. In case you’re not sure, skip ahead to the
last chapter of the story (in the Bible, I mean, not a Tom Clancy novel). In
the end, the good guys win!! Things might get really awful for a while, but He
is in charge. Take heart, be of good cheer, life is good.
what happened to the unauthorized homily? it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked the ol' Unauthorized Homily. But I haven't done that for close to 3 years now, and after doing it every week for 15 years, I covered every Sunday Mass reading at least four or five times each. So it just seemed like it was time to try something new, such as my "Merry Catholic" essays and this blog.
