Have you ever met a person that believed so strongly in a brand name, that they used that brand name and nothing else? Maybe a person you know will only drink one brand of beer, for example. Or perhaps another person will only use one brand of toilet paper. Or will only purchase one make of automobile. Or one brand of tool. The list goes on and on. Maybe we are that person when it comes to certain items. In the society in which we live, so many people "believe" in products, and brand names, and celebrities, and sports figures, and politicians, and agendas . . . . Again, the list goes on and on as to what people "believe" in. In the First Epistle of St. John, we are reminded of the commandment: "That we should believe on the Name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment." (I St. John 3:23) St. John reminds us that we are commanded to believe on the Name of Our Blessed Saviour. So many things that we "believe" on will ultimately fail us: whether they be consumer products that we buy. Or politicians that make endless promises that they can never keep. Even people that we know and love will disappoint us every now and then. But when it comes to Our Blessed Saviour, He will never disappoint us. . . . He will never fail us . . . He will never leave us. And out of this belief will come love. I have heard it said that the more you hang around with someone the more you will become like that person. I believe this is true for the most part. Don't children learn from their parents? Thus, children pick up traits and habits of their parents? To a certain degree, don't we become like our spouse? Picking up habits or expressions or likes and dislikes? The same is true for Our Blessed Saviour. The more time we spend with Him, the more we will become just like Him. And if you had to pick just one word to describe Our Blessed Saviour, I am sure the perfect word would be: L-O-V-E.
Take time out of your busy schedule to spend time with God. Dedicate one hour to be with Him. We dedicate time out of every day to: sleeping; eating; working; relaxation. Let us take one hour out of a busy week and dedicate it solely to God. Join us for Mass as we hear the Word of God found in the King James Version of the Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Join us as we worship Our Blessed Saviour as God's family in traditional worship. Join us as we receive the Precious Body and Blood at Communion time so that we can be nourished and sustained for the week ahead.
There are two opportunities to join us for Mass on Sunday, June 14th, 2015:
