WE ARE SLAVES TO CHRIST

 

 

 

WE ARE SLAVES TO CHRIST

 

 

Christ suffered so that we might be saved. Christ was crucified so that we could achieve eternal life. We live our lives by his example. As Christians, suffering is an obligation and a way of life. When we suffer, we become more like Christ and are able to understand our faith more fully. We are taught to look to Christ as an example and follow him as disciples. We are his disciples now in all our actions and thoughts.

Christ became a slave for our salvation and the salvation of the world. If Christ became a servant and we are his disciples then we are also servants. Christ is the king of slaves. We must act as slaves and serve the world in his name. Through us the world must see Christ. All we want and desire must come last and what people need is first. Acts of charity and good strengthen our faith. As Christian we must love to do these things. If we all do what we want to last and everyone else is first then Christ becomes the light of the world and saves us all.
We all want something better in our lives.

 

We all want to change our lives and be happy. We must remember to pray for this, but we need to  accept the bad things from God in our lives and celebrate what we suffer on his behalf. Good things happen when we suffer. We know ourselves when we suffer. We understand ourselves when we suffer. After darkness there is always light.
To enjoy the light we have to experience darkness. For light, we must first know the darkness. We should not fear the dark, because we are following the light. Light is Christ. If we understand this, then we can celebrate Christ's suffering and know that we will not suffer forever. We become stronger in our faith only when we suffer as Christ.

God sent his only son to suffer for us and then rose to perfection. He will always do the same for us because He loves us. We will always be protected, loved and saved. So go to him and become his slave.

From The Deacon

by Deacon Tom

My Brothers in Christ, 

The Easter Season has ended with Pentacost and we have now reentered Ordinary Time. Summer is fast approaching and the Fraternal Year is coming to a close. This past year has been very busy and it is hard to reflect on each and every accomplishment of this council but I can safely say that we have done our fair share of good works and acts of charity. We saw this council participating in a record amount of Blood Drives (four in all) and a record amount of Pro-life events. We marched on the Haverhill Abortion Clinic twice and supported the Haverhill Pregnancy Care Center. Even though we find ourselves in the middle of a deep recession, our gifts of charity and support have not wained. Our commitment to Saint Joseph’s School remains strong. Each month found ourselves doing something new and unique in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 

I would like to thank you all as we plan on our new Fraternal Year. There are some things I hope we as a council can improve on as we reorganize some key positions. I am reaching out to all council members for your help and guidance in this area. I ask that you attend June’s meeting and cast your vote for the new role of officers. I am also looking for your input in areas of improvement for the council. We are now 137 members strong. We need to always keep our vision and direction fresh and invigorating. 

Yours in Christ, 
Deacon Tom
