It seems that every day the news media have yet more bad news to tell: wars, disease, terrorism, drought, social unrest, and more. Some people have stopped using clock radios to wake up in the morning, preferring a jarring buzzer to the even more jarring morning news. What more do we need before we realize that we are finite creatures, and while there is much we can do to make our world better, ultimately there is a lot that is simply not within our grasp? To this our loving God says, “Be strong, fear not!” We must do what we can to make our world a better and safer place, but we must also realize our limits and that our ultimate safety is in the hands of God. We can be comforted by the realization that God loves us beyond measure, and will give us every help in our efforts to make our world a loving and safe place for everyone. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. NO TEMAN En estos tiempos, hay muchas razones para temer, con tan sólo mirar a nuestro alrededor. Tal parece que cada día los medios de comunicación tienen más malas noticias que anunciar: guerras, enfermedades, terrorismo, sequía, disturbios sociales, y mucho más. Algunas personas han dejado de usar los radios despertadores prefiriendo ser despertados por la sacudida de la alarma chillona y no de las malas noticias matutinas. ¿Qué más necesitamos para darnos cuenta de que somos criaturas limitadas, y aunque hay mucho que podemos hacer para mejorar nuestro mundo, en última instancia hay mucho que simplemente no está a nuestro alcance? Para esto, nuestro amoroso Dios nos dice: “¡Ánimo! No teman.” Debemos hacer todo lo que esté a nuestro alcance para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar mejor y más seguro, pero también debemos reconocer nuestros límites y que nuestra seguridad absoluta está en manos de Dios. Nos puede servir de consuelo la realización de que Dios nos ama sin medida, y nos dará toda la ayuda necesaria para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar acogedor y seguro para todos. Copyright © J. S.

I am pleased to let you know that we are blessed and now have ten young men studying for the priesthood, several of whom are from Nevada. We still need to continue to foster vocations in our diocese and continue to support the young men who are in the seminary. One way to show our support is to continue praying for them and their vocations. Another and more temporal way to support is through giving. Each year the cost of educating each of these students is approximately $35,000. All of the monies collected in this annual second collection goes directly to support the seminarians in the Diocese of Reno.

Yet we all have prayer requests and want to see them answered. When praying in intercession for ourselves and others it is necessary to use all the faith we have. Seeking the Lord with all that is within our hearts can ease our worry, doubt, and fear. Our faith is a gift from God. A wonderful opportunity to bring our prayers of intercession to the Lord with complete trust in Him presents itself at Adoration. Jesus invited us to come to Him when He taught us to pray for our daily bread and to be delivered from all evil. Prayer is not reserved for just that. Prayers for our spouse, family, friends, neighbors, the needs of the world, the unborn babies, and even our enemies unite us with Jesus' prayers. Visiting our Lord at Adoration strengthens us in our persistence, while also strengthening and calming us in our journey. God tells us there is no petition too small or too unworthy to be brought before Him. Come sit with Him awhile in prayer and listen for Him.

We also have fun; playing games at our meeting, being entertained by the Douglas H.S. Madrigal singers, or by attending our spring luncheon/fashion show and expo.
