Unwittingly, this year has entered the third season, but there are still disturbing news from many places; there is a strong earthquake nearby, the threat of the plague is still there, and there are still conflicts and wars between countries and people. The economy is declining everywhere; how do we face the current situation. Paul encourages us in Philippians 4:6-8: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” How can we not be tormented by anxiety? Paul encourages us to enter into the peace of the Lord. Therefore, we must put the Lord Jesus first and enter into Him with a thankful heart, only then can we truly face today’s generation. At this moment, let us enter into prayer, let the Holy Spirit dwell in us, think about Him all the time, and learn the “way of life”. We are willing to renew our lives through Jesus Christ, to be like Christ, to be guided by the Holy Spirit in everything, to know advances and retreats and choices, and to experience the presence of the Lord.

Dear catechumens friends, try to regain the focus of life at this moment, believe that God is bigger than this world. We encourage you to put your life in God, connect with Him through prayer, put your heart in His hands instead of letting go in a chaotic world. Strengthen your heart and enjoy a life of peace, goodness, and grace in your heart! We would like to share some of them with you, welcome to contact us.
