Tridux titilqu intom ukoll? (Jn 6:67)

but Peter said:
"Lord to whom shall we go?!
YOU have the words of Eternal Life
and we have recognised that
You are the Holy One of God!"
(John 6:68)
Maybe sometimes we have doubts and SO MANY questions - why God? - and i think often we do not understand.
Maybe sometimes we think that God has forgotten us or that He does NOT love us - but even when we think that: it doesn't change the fact that God DOES love us with an unending and immeasurable love!
Sometimes we won't understand and maybe sometimes we are afraid but when we are, then like Peter we need to believe and like John we need to rest our heads on Jesus' shoulders:
Peter didn't understand Jesus' words and John had a heart full of sorrow and questions when he learnt that Jesus would soon die - but both believed and both found comfort in God: despite their lack of understanding.
During today's Mass we prayed the following - and i'm putting it on the blog because it has been my prayer - as i am certain that of many others - and i will continue to pray it with the Church:
We pray for all those people who, feel unwelcome in the Church. We pray for them so that they may see that God has a special love for those who feel rejected and we pray that these brothers and sisters may listen to God’s call and return to His Fold.
(2nd Prayer of the Faithful for the 21st Sunday of ordinary Time, Cycle B – Malta Diocese.)
Holy Mary, Mother of Jesus,
please lead each one of us to God in the Holy Catholic Church.
St.Michael, Brave Archangel
please defend us against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
