Saint Hugh of Lincoln, Bishop & Confessor


Dear Friends in Christ,
"Why art thou cast down O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me ? Hope thou in God: for I shall praise him for the help of his countenance. ( From Psalm 45:5)
Let us face it, whether we realize it or not, we live in a world full of darkness. With the darkness I do mean all the suffering , the evil doing , the violence and destruction, the materialism. In the days of our youth when we are often pre-occupied, we dont dwell too much on it, but once we get older and it can get us really down. We like to change things for the better, but we often feel so powerless. And yet we can make a difference, believe you me, if we put our trust in God and accept Him as our Personal Saviour and Redeemer, we are able to shine with the light of Christ in the darkness of this world. And yet... there is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of a small candle.
May the Lord bless you and keep you...
Ed Bakker
