Put God at the center of Your Life

Dear Family of God,

Over time many of us have taken for granted our relationship with God and one another. Sin and selfishness have divided us and have allowed our hearts to be cold; cold in our relationship with God and our neighbors. One thing I wish and pray that will come out of this trial is that we put God at the center of our lives. That we once again have warm and loving relationships with one another; united as one. Loving God above all and loving one another as Jesus loved us.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the lord and turn from evil” (Prov. 3: 5-7).

May we all practice our country’s mottos, living as “One Nation Under God” and believing “In God We Trust”; truly living as children of God, our Loving Father. Caring for one another, not just for our physical needs, but more so for our spiritual and moral needs.

As our psalm this weekend teaches us: “With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption.” May we have faith in Jesus who said: “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.”(John 11:7).

May our Lady of Joy, our mother and St. Joseph our spiritual father, intercede for us all.

Yours in Christ and Mary Immaculate,

Fr. Jess Ty
