Give thanks to God always for all of you

“We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father, knowing, brothers and sisters loved by God, how you were chosen.” (1 THES 1: 2-4) 

Sunday Mass, at the end of the Program, is always offered for the good fruits of the Program. It is also a perfect occasion for me to “give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in my prayers.” I am so thankful for your “work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ.” I’d love to repeat after St. Paul: my “brothers and sisters loved by God,” I know “how you were chosen.” Keep growing, and “shine like lights in the world.” 🙂

“Shine like lights in the world as you hold on to the word of life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
