Persevere in Faith

Sometimes it appears hardly anyone is listening. “Everyone” seems to dismiss God as a fictional character, ignore him, deride him, forget him. They say they can’t be bothered now, but may think about it later – and look askance at us. Fewer and fewer seem to care. Yet we still keep the faith, keep praying, keep hoping.

Dear Lord, thank you for the gift of faith. It is one of my greatest treasures. Thank you too, for those who inspire love of you – church leaders, parishioners, teachers, people in need, friends, family and complete strangers. May we support each other in keeping the flame of faith burning brightly throughout our lives.
