Find Security In God by Archbishop John Clement Favaiora

Archbishop John Clement Favaiora - Archbishop of Miama

We, as Americans, are experiencing the fear and uncertainty that most other countries in the world live with daily. There are countries beset by civil war. There are countries numbed by decades of terrorist acts. Where will we find security in this uncertain world? In one person alone: God. Jesus is the one certainty in our uncertain world. He is the way, the truth and the light.

Our faith should not be in gas masks or duct tape. Our faith should be in God. He alone can save us. He alone has promised us an afterlife without violence, without strife, without death. To him alone should we turn in our hour of need.

I firmly believe that God does listen to our prayers. So I would ask that you redirect your energies: Spend time in prayer. Many parishes have added rosaries, perpetual adoration and Masses for peace to their schedules. Find out which is nearest to you and stop by. Or make it a point, sometime during the day, to pause briefly and say a prayer. God is with us always. He alone can save us. May he hear our prayers.
