Does our faith lasts only until the next crisis comes along? Will it be shattered to the point of unbelief? Do we then question and find no answers?
We need to embrace and constantly ponder over the wonderful gift of our baptism. In which we become the children of God. This powerful sacrament of grace in which we are inserted into the life, death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit comes upon us freeing and protecting us from sin. Guiding, counseling and leading us to holiness.
We are never alone, for just as Jesus is in and with the Father; so too He is with us for all eternity. His peace is upon us and we have nothing to fear. Our Lord has conquered the world! Amen.

The disciples said to Jesus,
“Now you are talking plainly, and not in any figure of speech. Now we realize that you know everything and that you do not need to have anyone question you. Because of this we believe that you came from God.” Jesus answered them, “Do you believe now? Behold, the hour is coming and has arrived when each of you will be scattered to his own home and you will leave me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me. I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.”
