Pope Saint John Paul II, Pray for us
FROM THE PASTOR
This past couple of weeks, while in a text chat with one of the Soldiers I’ve worked with fairly extensively, something occurred to me that I hadn’t really thought much about. As we were chatting on matters of faith (and a little Army related complaining—but that’s required by regulation *probably) it occurred to me that there are a lot of folks in the world who have a deep faith and trust in God. It’s often semi-hidden if we’re not looking for it, but a solid foundation of faith guides how a lot of people live.
What really got me thinking, though, was the level of insight that people who aren’t me have. So many Christians throughout the world, hopefully including all of us, spend time each day in prayer and reflection on the Scriptures and listening for God’s small, still voice. And I’ve found that, oftentimes, God ‘speaks’ to me through the people I converse with. Even if I may not appear to be listening, I actually am.
This past week I spoke with a faith-filled soul who had 2 Corinthians 13:5 in her mind. Examine yourselves to see whether you are living the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless of course, you fail the test. Interestingly (providentially, really) enough, I had recently emerged from … (click here for more).

********************
The Chosen is an artistic portrayal of the life of Jesus and the Apostles. As “The Passion of the Christ”, the creators of this series attempt to show how things might have been if we had been there … using the art of cinematography. It is worth watching, but with the idea that not all of the words, actions, or ideas presented are known to be true. Consider it like looking at a work of art attempting to portray the parable of The Prodigal Son. As we watch “The Chosen,” we turn to prayer and the Gospels for “the truth” but realize the lives of those portrayed must have been amazing! Here is a video where Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie attempt to describe the series and faith and their relationship:
