Dear Sisters,
We are quickly moving toward the middle of Spring. Spring is such a beautiful time of year. New life burst forth in the form of new flowers and the Light of a beautiful spring day can bring us a feeling of warmth, and peace tingling with anticipation for what tomorrow will bring. The Gospel of Jesus Christ can bring forth the same feeling. Unfortunately there are many of our sisters who can’t feel or can’t see the Light of the Gospel in their lives. For whatever reason we need to be a Good Shepherd and help them to find that Light of Christ again. Virtually everyone in our circle of responsibility has become lost in one way or another. A lost sheep can be a young person, far away from home faced with loneliness and temptation, a single mom who lost a critically needed job, a grandmother whose children and grandchildren don’t have time for her, a man just called to be a new bishop, a mother whose child is again making choices that are wrong for them. In Isaiah 53:6 I am the lost sheep, You are the lost sheep, All we like sheep have gone astray…
It is my prayer the LIGHT of the Gospel will lead us and guide us to help those who are LOST, and if we are in a place where we are LOST I hope that we can brush the cobwebs of doubt and despair away from our eyes so we follow his LIGHT back to Him.
