FEAR is a constant part of our human experience.  FEAR  reminds us that we are not in control.  But as God’s children we are called to live in faith and surrender to the Lord.  As another school year began this past Tuesday, the school community was introduced to the theme ”LOVE over FEAR”.  We cannot eradicate FEAR completely, but united with God, in His grace we can always choose to love instead of FEAR.  As we confront this reality, may we do so with the full confidence and trust in the love and mercy of our Heavenly Father.  May we live out “LOVE over FEAR” with total faith in the Lord.

If you are an adult (18 years or older) who is in need to receive any or all of the Sacraments of Initiation such as Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation, registration is now open for the upcoming year of RCIA. For more information, please contact Father Francis Mendoza at (818) 940-3922.

Another story of FAITH is presented to us in this Sunday’s gospel of a woman begging Jesus to cure her daughter tormented by an evil spirit. The Lord admires the FAITH of this woman and acquiesces to her request. As Christian disciples, a steadfast FAITH is what we are called to have in a world full of challenges and uncertainty. Let us continue to place our loving trust in the Lord who constantly provides for everything we need. May our FAITH always be greater than our fears.
