God gives a silver line no matter what
challenges us

Do we focus on ourselves or others?
o For
instance, I have parishioners who had a stroke, cancer, half of a body
paralyzed saying, “Fr. Ben, know of my prayers…I am so glad you are getting
better.”

Some of the most powerful prayers are from
people whose life really sucks: cancer, injuries, surgeries, dying

Thank you for your prayers

We walk together: our own families, the families
of our churches, the families of our community and the family around the world
