Hi Folks,

This past Sunday at Church we celebrated The Feast of the Assumption. On Monday, August 16, 2021, The Catholic THING posted an article named Benedict on the Assumption an excerpt from a homily on August 15, 2005. The following is part of the article of Pope Emeritus' homily:

        The fact that our parents thought the contrary was the core of original sin. They  f eared that if God were too great, He would take something away from their life. They thought that they could set God aside to make room for themselves.

        This was also the great temptation of the modern age, of the past three or four centuries. More and more people have thought and said:"But this God does not give us our freedom: with all His commandments, He restricts the space in our lives. So God has to disappear; we want to be autonomous and independent. Without this God we ourselves would be Gods and do as we pleased."

        This is how it is in our modern epoch.

It is my hope that you  enjoy this post and find it useful. In our present world, our government and many people have lost sight of  God and have removed Him from their lives. Hence, all you have to do is  listen/watch the news and see the results of omitting God from our lives. 

    I believe, that God Our Father is our only Hope. If you will let's pray  together for all the people:families and especially the innocent children that are being affected by the present tragedies that are happening in our world today!!

And most important No lo pierdas de vista/Don't lose sight of Him!
