Homily from August 2, 2020

Do you sometimes feel like God is far away, that the world is so full of despair and hopelessness that there's little point in fighting the good fight?  St. Paul tells us this week that "neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:37-39)."  Throughout any calamity, Christ is always ready to help us continue the journey, and this weekend Fr. John reminds us that Christ has promised to do that and has already shown that he will.  The only catch is: we have to let him!
