Hello, I pray that your week is going along well.

I know that there have been times I have been faced with what I thought to be impossible tasks. I would have to take a step back and think about how I will be able to complete this task that is before me. But the more I  evaluate what I have to do, I begin to see that there are several ways of tackling the job.

St. Francis of Assisi says to us, “Easter proclaims that nothing is impossible with God and that His love can overcome all obstacles.”

Many of the difficulties we face in life are not related to our employment, relationships, or anything that is “out” there.  Many of these difficulties come about from this thing we call LIFE. Sometimes we can see them coming, but many time difficulties seem to be waiting for us before we have a chance to have our morning coffee.

We need to keep in mind what our Father Francis tells today. “Nothing is impossible with God . . .” Also let us keep in mind what Hudson Taylor, the British Protestant Christian missionary who is considered the most important and influential missionary of all time, tells us today. “When we work we work. When we pray God works.”

Have a blessed day.

Peace and All Good,

Fr. Vinnie and the

Bros and Srs of the

Franciscan House of Prayer.
