 Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity, August 25th, 2024

I think one of the most frustrating things in the world is not being able to find something you are looking for.  We've all had that experience, haven't we?  Whether it be the car keys or your eyeglasses.  You go to look for the item you're looking for and you can't find it anywhere.  But sometimes after you've looked and looked and looked for an item, it turns out that you item is right there in the place where you looked and never even saw it.  In other words, It was right there all the time and you never even saw it right in front of you.  Our Lord told the disciples:  "BLESSED are the eyes which see the things that ye see: for I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them" (St. Luke 10:23)  Our Lord was telling the disciples how blessed they were to see what so many before them were praying and longing to see.  In other words, the Messiah was right before their eyes.  I contend that God is always close by to us also.  And if we don't see God it is because we are not looking for Him.  We do not see God because we are too busy with the affairs of the world.  We do not see God because we only look for the things which are important to us.  And, sadly, for many people God is not nearly as important as what the world has to offer.  God is always close, but we have to make a point to look for Him.  We have to make a point to search for Him.  

Please make a point to join us for Mass on Sunday.  St. Margaret Church gathers together each and every Sunday at 10:30 am.  We worship at the beautiful Chapel at Marquette Manor, located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.  Join us as we listen to the Word of God found in the King James Version of the Bible.  We use the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.  And receive the Most Precious Body and Blood of Our Saviour at Communion time.   We are all busy.  We all lead busy lives.  Take an hour out of your busy week and dedicate it to God.  Give that hour to God and spend it with Him.
