We are told that God is always with us and that He hears our prayers, but if that is the case, then why to good people suffer, just as much or even more than the wicked? Deacon Robin shares a great reflection on this, pulling from a recent Mass reading from Isaiah about true sacrifice and how an insincere sacrifice is unacceptable to the Father. God does not promise us freedom from suffering, but He does offer us freedom from suffering without meaning.

There are a lot of hard teachings in the Gospels. Teachings about morality, money, worship, charity, love, life, death, and countless others. Jesus wasn't afraid to challenge his followers and he never backed down, not even when they all walked away from him. Deacon Robin shares a reflection on the attitude we should have toward hard teachings, and how only when we accept them can we truly understand God's love for us.

Reflecting on the recent Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, Deacon Robin reminds us to be and to pray like Simeon. The Jewish people had been praying and waiting for the Messiah for thousands of years, and Simeon had been waiting and praying all his life to witness the Christ, though that seemed impossible. Today is a reminder that if you're not praying for the impossible, you're not giving God enough credit!
