Hallelujah, the Honduras Mission Trip is back on (or at least we hope)!
We are all busy planning for what supplies are needed, who is doing what, how are things being done to serve our friends. These are all very important & worthwhile. Serving those in need is a fundamental responsibility for all Christians and, we at St. Anthony’s do it so well!
We should never neglect these responsibilities. As missionaries, we should put our whole heart into these activities. Coupling these activities with our own personal spirituality is what makes us standout from other service organizations. Bringing the love of Jesus with a helping hand is the call of all Christians.
During this busy preparation period for the mission trip let us not neglect our own spiritual life. Are you praying for our friends each day? I do not mean a simple prayer of 10 seconds. But quality time spent in prayer for your friends. Be conscientious & steadfast in these prayers over the next few months.
As Advent approaches, the great time of Anticipation, let us lift up in prayer our friends & all the preparations which are needed. Let us embrace God’s love & share it with his friends as we lift our own spiritual life in prayer.
Blessings,
Deacon Rick
Honduras Sacraments Team
Our Mission has definitely hit a period of adjustment after COVID, the departure of Deacon Mike, Father Tom & Father Kingsley; leaving some may refer to as a spiritual void in our leadership team. Deacon Rick Vogel has graciously accepted the challenge to unite our Mission for 2022. Please join us in welcoming him as we prep for traveling to Honduras in June!
