We all face obstacles in life. Perhaps it's a lost job, the death of

a loved one, a sudden accident that places an unexpected dent

in our finances. Sometimes the challenges are of our own mak-

ing. Perhaps we've developed patterns of sin in our personal

lives or our family relationships. We've all felt the jolting shock

of, "This is all my fault." How do these things affect our rela-

tionship with God? Or, perhaps more poignantly, how do we

now view God's relationship to us?

In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus' words to us are encouraging

ones. "No one can take them out of my hand." Did you catch

that? In case you didn't, Jesus reemphasizes the point again a

few verses later. "My Father, who has given them to me, is

greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father's

hand." God's grip of providential care and mercy is so strong

that nothing can separate us. We might think things take us out

of God's hand - life circumstances, tragedy, our lukewarm atti-

tudes towards faith - but Jesus tells us otherwise. Nothing, no

one, can take us out of the Father's hand, and we can't take our-

selves out! We can't remove ourselves from Him, not entirely.

Even when grievous sin hardens us to grace, His love is still

sustaining us in existence. And His mercy is always awaiting

our repentance.

"My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I

give them eternal life, and they shall never perish." This Sun-

day, let us heed the voice of the Good Shepherd. Whatever we

feel might take us from God's hand, we can turn back to Him.

God is always inviting us to follow Him and to trust in His care

and be sustained by His hand.

Mary, dear Mother of Jesus and Mother of us all,

We ask your blessing this day on our own dear

mothers.

May they see God’s love shining in the eyes of

their children, the little ones and grown ones, too.

May they feel God’s love in warm embraces

and happy smiles.

Walk beside them, Mary, in good times and in

bad, and pray that God

will bless them richly for all

the good things they do for us, their children.

Remember too, our mothers who have gone

to their rest. May their joy and peace

know no bounds.

Amen.

Gracious and loving Mary, Mother of Jesus

And our Mother, Pray for all mothers the world

over on this their special day.

Happy Mother’s Day!
