We live in a world where relativism flourishes, materialism is pervasive, and the truth seems elusive. But our foundation is Jesus Christ “… the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.” [Hebrews 13:9]
Jesus saved us over
2,000 years ago, our challenge to allow His saving grace to mold us, to renew
us, and to form us. Charles Taylor [A
Secular Age] and Fr. Michael
Buckley, S.J. [At the Origins of Modern Atheism] point out that
Secularism and Atheism are challenges that we face. We need to deal with them in a serious
manner, but we should not fear them. Bishop Cupich said, “…
we should welcome this moment as an opportunity to embrace more fully our own
discipleship ….” [Origins, 9/5/13 p.
214]
So, we need to constantly remind ourselves that our foundation is prayer, the sacraments and trust in Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior.
May God Be Praised!
