Saints Felicitas & Perpetua Church 7th Sunday of Easter 10 Reasons Why Catholics Don’t Have to Worry (Part 2 of 2) Worry comes when we feel powerless to affect our circumstances. For example, when we hear about layoffs or foreclosures in our town, we worry that we might be next. Yet Catholics know that freedom from worry comes with knowing that God is in control and trusting him to do what’s best. We know that he loves us, wants the best for us, and is taking good care of us. “We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28). 6. God knows best. Pursuing goals like wealth or personal acclaim without first seeking God’s approval leads to failure. There is no peace in going against God’s will. Instead, be open and place all your hopes, plans, and efforts at God’s feet. Let him decide what is best for you. 7. Acceptance brings peace. Catholics learn to live with what we cannot control. When you let God help you come to terms with what can’t be changed, you have the peace acceptance brings. 8. The Church provides answers. It isn’t always easy to discern God’s will, so Jesus created the Catholic Church to help. When you need answers, turn to Scripture. Or, talk to your priest, deacon or other religious. After all, helping us grow closer to God is what they do best. 9. We are always in the Divine Presence. Seek frequent opportunities to make yourself aware of him. God walks with us through the messy parts of our lives and encourages us when we worry. Be watchful for his presence. 10. Worry is wearing. If you worry too much, it impacts your relationships, your health, your peace. Try to stay calm for your sake as well as for those around you. “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad”.

A Mother's Love There are times when only a mother's love Can understand our tears, Can soothe our disappoints And calm all of our fears. There are times when only a mother's love Can share the joy we feel When something we've dreamed about Quite suddenly is real. There are times when only a mother's faith Can help us on life's way And inspire in us the confidence We need from day to day. For a mother's heart and a mother's faith And a mother's steadfast love Were fashioned by the angels And sent from God above. --Author Unknown Seventh Sunday of Easter May 12, 2013 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” — Revelation 22:13 WELCOME!
