Bringing the Cause of Christ

By: Pat Oconer

Gods desire is for the salvation of all, John 3:16 ” for God so love that world that He gave His only begotten Son”. His great desire is for us to experience life in abundance, life to the full, Jeremiah 29 “for I know well the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans for your welfare not for woe, plans to give you a future full of hope”.

But it doesn’t end there. As we experience that abundance, our duty is to speak and share about it. We are blessed to have a life that we have, but reality shows that not all are experiencing what they are supposed to be experiencing, a lot are deprived of what is due of them in accordance to Gods plan.

We are commissioned by God to share, to speak, and to witness. We are evangelizers, and are cause is to let other people see and experience that great plan of God, prepared for us and made for us.

Gods Cause is should be shared to all. CFC SFL is DESTINED to live out that CAUSE!

Pope Benedict XVI's Prayer for Grandparents

Lord Jesus,
you were born of the Virgin Mary,
the daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne.
Look with love on grandparents the world over.
Protect them! They are a source of enrichment
for families, for the Church and for all of society.

Support them! As they grow older,
may they continue to be for their families
strong pillars of Gospel faith,
guardian of noble domestic ideals,
living treasuries of sound religious traditions.
Make them teachers of wisdom and courage,
that they may pass on to future generations the fruits
of their mature human and spiritual experience.

Lord Jesus,
help families and society
to value the presence and roles of grandparents.
May they never be ignored or excluded,
but always encounter respect and love.
Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomed
in all the years of life which you give them.

Mary, Mother of all the living,
keep grandparents constantly in your care,
accompany them on their earthly pilgrimage,
and by your prayers, grant that all families
may one day be reunited in our heavenly homeland,
where you await all humanity for the great
embrace of life without end. Amen!
