Our Lady of Guadalupe Church

Dear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Guadalupe,

      We are coming to the end of our Church Year. The Gospels and readings remind us of the end time. In today’s Gospel we hear of events that will          occur before the end. 

     We hear of persecution, wars, earthquakes, famines and plagues. This almost reminds us of the times we are living in right now. But the gospel tells us don’t be afraid. No one knows when the end will come but what is                     important is that you be prepared and that you remain faithful.  Perseverance is what is most important. 

    All of us have and are going through tough times. There are times when you feel that God isn’t listening to your prayers. However, He is always there especially in the most difficult times of our life. Psalm 23 tells us: “Even if you walk in a dark valley, fear no evil I am by your side to give you strength.” Jesus is with us no matter what we are going through. Lean on Him and trust in Him. He will give us strength. Being faithful and Trust is what is most needed. Remember Hope is our Strength.

    Have a Blessed Week,

      Fr. Tony
