Pastor’s Pen
Conquer Evil
The coronavirus pandemic is a sign that we as individuals and as communities need to turn to God. Fully. We need to recognize that sin is sin and we have sinned. We need to pray daily in our private prayers and with our families, asking Jesus to cover us with the purification and protection of his blood. Instead of focusing on our troubles, we look at Jesus and take refuge in his love. When we allow evil to snatch our attention, we feel hopeless and angry. But when we refocus on Jesus, we can joyfully praise God for the goodness he will resurrect from our sufferings. As Christians, we need to be prepared for any kind of suffering. God will work it for many blessings. There is nothing to fear if we purify our lives and choose the path of holiness. When everyone else is panicking, God wants us to joyfully get busy sharing Christ, helping others discover the reason for our faith. Jesus doesn’t want us to be worriers; he wants us to be warriors conquering evil. True followers of Christ will win every battle. Through these victories we will bring the world to Christ! Pray this whenever you begin to worry: “Oh my Jesus, I surrender myself to You. Take care of everything.” “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom…. Be dressed ready for service” (Luke 12:32,35a ) Pray the Rosary. The Blessed Mother has been coming in apparitions for many decades to warn the world about chastisements resulting from sin, while promising that praying the Rosary is a powerful weapon against evil. But pray the first decade of the Rosary for yourself, especially for joy, so that you are strengthened for the battle and become better equipped to conquer evil. Pastor’s Pen
