“…We don’t live isolated lives, we don’t live in fear, we don’t live divided lives, that is not from God…I don;t let the exterior or fear stop me from interacting with my fellow man …”
“…God will never refuse anything we need for salvation…Jesus says ask and you shall receive, he didn’t say what we are going to receive, he didn’t say we are going to receive what we ask for…”
“…Trough her loving intercession, may we continuously yearn for Heaven and our glorified bodies and may these great truths strengthen us to bear our inevitable daily sufferings in both our soul and body… “
“What does Our Lord ask of us?… Be not afraid and keep your focus in Him, that’s what Our Blessed Mother did, she is body and soul in Heaven, forever”
“…Yet, if we are humble and confident like the publican, as well as grateful, we shall receive abundant graces into our sanctification and salvation…”
“He doesn’t asks us to be creative, He asks us to be faithful, and humble, and admit that all that we have comes from Him, and not to envy His generosity towards others…..”
This morning Our Merciful and Loving God called Fr. Jim Shelton to Himself. Fr. Shelton was 87 years old. He came to Holy Trinity in early 2011. Despite various health challenges in recent years, he was as active as he could be in his priesthood.
I will write more on Fr. Shelton in the near future. Please remember him in your prayers. It is our hope the next nine days to pray the Rosary for him each evening. Details regarding his Funeral Mass will be forthcoming.
God bless
FRVW
