Act of Faith O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that your divine Son became man and died for our sins and that he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches because you have revealed them who are eternal truth and wisdom, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. In this faith I intend to live and die. Amen.

Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. (Mt 25:34)

St. John Paul II said "Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it. This, as has already been said, is why Christ the Redeemer "fully reveals man to himself"."

Help us go on mission to youth (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mr8LFKfSRVhbnwt8l_KHzPSCdNphwxZU/view?usp=sharing) We live in a society where many people are hungry for love *and *hurting for the lack of relationship with God. This is true of people of all ages. In a particular way, though, it's true of our young people. Especially the ones we do not see here in Mass. Many young people suffer from a lack of hope. They do not know the Good News of Jesus Christ. As I mentioned last week, having consulted, and heard from many of you about this as I have gotten to know you, I believe God is leading us to have a particular emphasis on developing a mission to youth in our community and within our parish. The dream for this Mission is to provide an inviting home for youth to be disciples of Jesus Christ through the Church. People are hungry for Jesus. As a 20th century evangelist said, “Evangelism is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find food.” As good watchmen, we are called to point the way to the food, the only food which will truly satisfy every human heart.
