Dear Parishioners,
With the Greek alphabet in the spotlight due to the COVID variants like Omicron and Delta, it is good to remind ourselves that Jesus is the Alpha and Omega.
Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. (Rev 22:12-13)
Jesus is Lord of the universe and all time belongs to him. Nothing is hidden from our Lord and he has a plan for all of human history and our individual lives and that plan is a plan of salvation. Everything that happens in human history is enfolded in a providential plan.
In order to cooperate in this plan of salvation it is vitally important that we deepen our spiritual lives and take every opportunity to devoutly receive Holy Communion and make the time for a good confession. If you feel unable to come to Mass or to come to the church for confession then please get in touch and we can arrange a visit.
Best wishes,
Father Behr
