TRUST IN GOD’S PLAN FOR CHURCH

AFTER reading letters in The Leader over several months urging us to pray for more priests, I have to ask, “where is our faith?”

I cannot for one moment believe that the good Lord would let the institution of the Catholic Church disintegrate as we see it if he didn’t have a plan for it to go in a different direction.

It reminds me of the boy scout who saw a blind man standing at a pedestrian crossing.

The boy took the blind man by the arm and led him across the street.

On reaching the other side, the blind man said, “Thank you very much, but I wasn’t going to cross the road”.

Are we the boy scout? And could it be that the Lord is saying, “Thank you very much, but I don’t want to cross the road of sending more priests. I have other plans of change for my Church”.

Perhaps we are in a state of panic about this change.

By the way, I would like to hear The Lord’s Prayer said in churches slowly, line by line, where we can ponder on the words, particularly, “Thy will be done”, and let the spirit blow where it wills.

Anyway, there is an old saying, “Change is inevitable – except from a vending machine”.

Besides, we don’t only find God in church.
