Prayer Time with Fr. Ron

Last week Fr. Ron led our group in praise and worship and introduced us to a new song:




After quiet prayer time, Fr. Ron then talked to us about a line in St. Paul's writings:

We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28

Fr. Ron went on to say that God can make good out of the bad things in our life, such as mistakes we've made, the hurt we've felt by friends, other circumstances we can't control. We wouldn't be who we are today if we didn't have those tough moments in our lives, but we also have to let God work with them and He will show us the light from these situations. If we truly love God, then He will work good in our lives. That's a pretty awesome reassurance!
