July 24th, 2020 - How Do We Respond To Sufferings?

Many times we hear people questioning the existence of a loving God because they experience so many sufferings in their own lives or in their own families or in their own countries. As a Christian response to sufferings, I have used more and more St Paul's famous quote, "All things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). You will hear this quote this weekend as it is the first verse of our second reading, and I invite you to reflect on how St Paul's words (truly inspired by God) can help you face your daily challenges.

We know that for God everything is possible. We also know that GOD IS LOVE. He loves everyone without exception, and He wants us to return His Love. As Jesus teaches us, "God's greatest commandment is to love Him with all your heart, and all your soul and all your mind" (Matthew 22:35-40). Because He loves us totally and is all-powerful, everything happening to us individually is God's own will and part of His plan for us.

God is involved in all things. It is easy to believe this when...

A Note From The Task Force:

We are ready for another weekend full slate of Masses. We feel our protocol works well and provides the desired optimum safety.

Few items to keep in mind:

Please wear a mask, bring your hand sanitizer, observe the social distancing in seating and new traffic flow during Mass.
If you are ill, more susceptible, or feel uncomfortable returning to church right now, please know staying home is ok and you can continue to be with us in spirit and watch Sunday's Mass at 10 am or daily Mass at 9 am on the OLHOC YouTube Channel.
When you are ready to return, please reserve a seat online www.olhoc.org/reopening If you have reservations and are unable to attend, please return to the signup and cancel your seat so others may attend Mass.
