Don’t Stop Growing in Your Faith
Friends,
(This is “borrowed” from St. Paul to the Thessalonians.)
“From John, Ray and Hugo, to the church in El Cerrito, the people of God the Father and of the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that God will be kind to you and will bless you with peace. We thank God for you and always mention you in our prayers. Each time we pray, we tell God our Father about your faith and loving work and about your firm hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. Dear friends, God loves you, and we know that He has chosen you to be his people………” (1 Thess. 1:1-4)
I hope you are enjoying our Summer Educational Series on St. Paul. I have learned some more information about St. Paul and the early Christian church. I am strongly reminded that we never stop learning. We might get lazy and rely on the TV instead of picking up our Bibles or some other good Catholic books. Most of us have to push ourselves, but we have so many great resources at our fingertips. I like to listen to tapes when I am driving my car. I have just finished a fine series on St. Paul. … Other folks like to have DVD’s, and there are hundreds of good titles for our viewing. However, my favorite is reading. I have a good library of a wide array of books that I have read and enjoyed. It is up to you to determine how you will expand your understanding and knowledge of our beautiful faith. Just do it.
Peace,
Fr. John Maxwell
