Year of Hope

When there are bumps on the road of life, let's put our trust and hope on Jesus so that He will give us the strength and the courage and faith to continue our journey.

          Our hope and faith is built on nothing less than Jesus - his love and mercy and righteousness. Let's stay more closer to Jesus.             

          “The Lord is all I have, and so I put my hope in him. The Lord is good to everyone who trusts in him.”                  (Lamentations 3:24-25)

 

Hope

H - hold on to God

O - offer your concerns to Him

P - pray with all your heart

E- expect, believe and hope in His promises.

Year of Hope

 

"For he that sings praises, not only praise, but also praise with gladness: he that sings praises, not only sing, but also love him of whom he sing. In praise, there is the speaking forth of one confessing; in singing, the affection of one loving."               - St. Augustine

 

St. Augustine reminds us that just singing a song is not enough. When we sing songs of God's love, it makes the songs more than just any kind of songs, but truly adds to the power of our prayers to Him.                        ~ St. Mary's Choir - Children/Young Adults

Year of Hope          "Lord, hear our prayer; Lord, we await." - this is the short chant our Choir sings for Prayer of the Faithful every Sunday, it is also our short prayer to God.  To 'wait' symbolizes our reliance and trust in God.  Our hope today is to let us realize what we need in life - not in a materialistic way, but spiritually.  We await and hope in God as we sing from the bottom of our hearts. (St. Mary's Choir)
