My Dear People,
Sarah Laughed
Miracles still happen today, as in days of old. The reading from the book of Genesis this Sunday, is a testament of God’s almighty power. Sarah was past menopause, she was in her eighties and childless. Three angles comes to visit the tent of Abraham. Inviting them into his dwelling place, Abraham and Sarah prepared a meal for them. After the feast, the angels announce that Sarah, who was thought to be barren, would conceive and give birth to a son nine months from the arrival of their announcement.
Sarah, who was listening to their conversation behind the tent wall, laughs. How can this be? I am not capable of bearing children, she thought to herself, and so she chuckles. Nine months later, Sarah bore a son. Abraham gave him the name, “Isaac” which translates, “Sarah laughed.” Never underestimate the power of God. With Him all things are possible if we but “Believe”.
Entrusting you to the care of Our Lady,
Fr. Mark Bozada
May we never doubt the power of God in our everyday lives. Like Mary, May we find time to be with Jesus in prayer.
