Call John & Manuela Ptacek 865-531-1719 for more info. “Blessed are those who have not seen and believed.” John 20:19-31 John tells us that the disciples who abandoned Jesus when He was arrested and taken to the cross (John was one of them) were locked in a room a week after they had seen him risen from the dead and had appeared to them in that same room. Jesus had good reason to be disappointed with them. But He says to them, “Peace be with you!” He knew it was difficult for them to believe even though they had seen. And He knew how difficult it would be for us who had not seen to believe. That is why at our baptism our parents or we ourselves if we are old enough promise to make our faith constantly grow stronger in our hearts and to bring that faith unstained into heaven. We renewed our Baptismal Promises on Easter Sunday. What have we done to make our faith grow stronger in our hearts? What are we doing? What will we do in the future? Are we being good stewards of our faith? It’s not too late to sign up to provide flowers for the Altar this year. Simply sign up for that special weekend on the Chart in the vestibule. We’ll call to find out what flowers and the special occasion. Congratulations to Frank & Joyce Delaney on their 55th Wedding Anniversary. Your love & devotion are an inspiration to us all.
