There are times when we go through life with tormenting experience of
uncertainty about the present and the future,
like the test of Abraham's faith.

Thanks be to God as through Abraham we are guaranteed that there is
a way out if we dare to persevere, hoping against all odds,
leaning on and trusting our Lord, and in faith get on our knees to
pray as in Psalm 116:10
 I kept faith, even when I said, "I am greatly afflicted!"

We may suffer, but we shall overcome just like our Savior Jesus Christ.

 "If God is for us, who can be against us?" --Romans 8: 31b

May strength and peace be yours this Lenten season!

Looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday.
May God bless and lead us always,
William


P.S.
Congratulations to Patricia and Tiffany for their participation in the
annual Rite of Election for RCIA catechumen candidates in our San Jose
Diocese at Cathedral Basilica of Saint Joseph in downtown San Jose
this Monday. Their names, together with the more than 100+ catechumens
present that day from about 15 local parishes, are now officially
recorded in the Book of Life in Heaven. Alleluia!!

They will go through this Lenten season, not alone, but with
our world-wide Catholic family; and will be baptized in the
Easter Vigil Mass(4/15) at St.Claire.
Let's give them our support and prayers.
