You are invited to join us at the Catholic Church in Nespelem to honor the victimS of 9-11 in song, prayer and the ringing of bells. Or you are welcome to start a group of Your own. Wherever you may be, light a candle, pray a prayer and ring a bell to ring in God’s peace. Starting at the times of each tragic event until nine in the evening we will ring the bell seven times every 70 minutes to signify Christ’s teaching on peace and forgiveness. (Matt. 18:21-22). 5:46 – American Airlines Flight #11 crashed into the World Trade Center North Tower...
Anger is a natural human reaction and in itself is not a sin. “Be angry yet do not sin.” (Eph. 4:26) Like any other emotion whether it is legitimate or misguided, anger needs to be acknowledged. This acknowledgment is the first step towards a possible peaceful resolution. It is also natural to respond to anger with anger. This is not a sin either, and it too must be acknowledged.

There is nothing I want more than for everyone to be saved. I lie awake wondering how God will save us, and I always come back to the same answer again and again. God will save us through his love, which he revealed to us in his son Jesus Christ. Too often people judge God through the actions or words of the religious, but religions have a tendency to create their own version of God. Fortunately, the authentic God is better than anything we could ever come up with. I am confident that if you really want to know who God is, just look to the Son...
