Sharing Faith Blog

From Mass for 02/18/18 & 2/25/18   Genesis

2/22/2018

 
​Dear Friends:

I thank you for reading our “Sharing Faith Blog.”  This blog is dedicated to having parishioners share a reflection concerning something about their faith or sharing a reflection regarding a reading from the Liturgy of the Word for Sunday Mass.  I thank Victor Caro for his reflection on Genesis 9:8-15 from Mass for February 18, 2018, and Larraine for her reflection on the reading from Genesis from Mass on February 25, 2018. 
​
Respectfully yours in Christ,
Fr. Tom Morgan
Pastor

From Mass for 02/25/18
My name is Larraine. I joined the Church in 2012. I attend the Sunday St Jerome’s Bible study.
Today’s Genesis’ reading challenges my faith because I feel I could not have obeyed God in this instance. Yet Abraham got up early to obey, he knew since God had told him he would make of him a great nation that somehow God would intervene in the sacrifice of Isaac. What an example of faith and trust! And what love God has for us to give us his beloved Son. I pray for God’s strength to do his Will.

​ My Name is Victor Carro. I have been a parishioner of St. Jerome’s since 1972. I currently volunteer at Life Line and the Emergency Fund.
Fr. Tom had requested volunteers from our Bible Class, which meets on Sunday 10am to write a short blog on a future reading in what the reading means to me.

From Mass for 02/18/18 Genesis 9:8-15

This is one example of God’s love for mankind. It emphasizes that God’s original covenant made was broken by our sins. The story uses Noah and his family to renew the covenant. God is so merciful and so willing to forgive that he grants a new beginning, always giving us hope. God said, “I set my bow in the clouds,” so when we see a rainbow we are reminded of his great love for us and there is always another day for hope in which to excel to God’s expectations of us.
