Gospel Reflections #565: In the Family of Faith

Proverbs 18:24 There are friends in this world who pretend to be friends, but there are friends who are more dependable than brothers."

Jesus came into the world to be our friend. Even when we feel alone, Jesus knows and accepts all of us.

He promises to keep us from falling. God created the Church to share the peace and joy that comes from Jesus. It is a fellowship, a family, saved by Jesus and living a new life.

We share the pain and sorrow of our reality, confirm God's promises to each other, and pray for each other, so that we may be convinced of who God is.

The walk of faith is not a one-person walk, but a walk with others who believe in God, and it is through the bonds of our spiritual family, including God, that we are able to serve our earthly family and friends better.

God surely knows what we need and He will provide it for us.

Let us share joy with our friends of faith and family of faith today!
