CHARITY is drawing near to God

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. ~ James 4:8

The grace of God can cure disharmony and disorder in human relationships. We can put our affairs, with their confusion and their difficulty directly into God's hands. God can begin to effect a cure of all the disharmony and disorder. We can believe that God will cause us no more pain in the doing of it than a physician, who plans and knows that he can effect a cure, would cause his patient. We can have faith that God will do all that is necessary as painlessly as possible. But we must be willing to submit to God's treatment; even if we cannot now see the meaning or purpose of it. ~ Fr. Pat Umberger http://frpat.com/

We pray that we may willingly submit to whatever spiritual discipline is necessary. We pray that we may accept whatever it takes to live a better life.

How can drawing closer to God strengthen our council and assembly?

 The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual. ~ Vince Lombardi -
