In times of worry and trouble, the faithful must turn in their thirst for assurance to the never-ending font of God’s grace.
Deacon Michael Malucha of St. Francis Borgia Church in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, recently wrote to parishioners about the importance of recognizing the supremacy of God and the need to be ever desirous of Him.
He referenced the visit in 1979 of Pope John Paul II to Poland, then ruled by a Communist regime.
“Therefore Christ cannot be kept out of the history of man in any part of the globe, at any longitude or latitude of geography,” Malucha quoted from Pope John Paul II’s address to the Polish crowd gathered in Warsaw’s Victory Square. ”The exclusion of Christ from the history of man is an act against man.”
In response to his words, the gathered masses responded with a chant of “We want God,” Malucha wrote.
In all things that they face, the faithful should have the same mindset of that crowd, he wrote.
