A few words this month
Fr. Sawano
Happy New Year.
Throughout the past year, in this column, we have
reflected on Pope Francis’ encyclical “Hope Does Not Disappoint.” Just as the
title says, hope never deceives us. This is because our hope is rooted in the
Gospel.
The Gospel tells us the very heart of God. God
watches over and guides this world with the heart of a loving parent who
desires nothing but the happiness of His children.
We are still on the way toward the complete
fulfillment of God’s plan of salvation, but we trust that it will surely come
to pass. God chooses to bring this plan to completion by welcoming the
cooperation of our own lives and actions of love, even though they may
sometimes seem small or fragile. In this way, God saves both the world and each
one of us.
As we begin this New Year, let us move forward
with hope.
