Fr. Hien's Weekly Letter 10/04/2020

My Dear Parishioners,
Welcome to the month of October.  It’s a special month for us Catholics throughout the world to love God and to honor our Blessed Mother Mary.  We all know how important God is to all of us.  It was God who gave us life and it will be only God who can give us eternal life in heaven.  Let all of us always trust in God, love God with all our hearts, minds, and souls, and worship God in the Holy Eucharist.  Recently, our Bishop encouraged Catholics to return to the Holy Mass so that we can really and truly become one with Jesus through Holy Communion.  Receiving Holy Communion is receiving God into our bodies, minds, and souls.  When we have God within us, all things are possible, including eternal life in heaven.  The grace and love of God will give life to all of us and to all people we live with and meet every day.  Please make every effort to return to Holy Mass for your good, the good of your families, friends, our country, and the whole world.  We need God in every person now more than ever before during this pandemic and the riots at home and throughout the world.  The virus is evil, and many people are acting evil everywhere.  We need to overcome evil with good, and only God is good--all the time, on earth as in heaven.  Please attend Holy Mass, everyone needs your love, prayers, and blessings from our Lord. 
Lately here at All Saints, we have had many elders attending our Holy Masses.  God bless them and God bless their love for Him.  People like them understand very well how important God is for them.  They are not afraid of sickness or death.  They touched my heart and I am sure they have touched many other hearts too.  Thank you for showing us how important God should be to all of us.  However, please remember that when you are under the weather, please stay home.  Don’t forget to keep our Mother Mary close to your heart throughout this month.  We need her intercession and prayers for us too, especially for those who are sick and for our beloved country as we are close to the election.  Mary loves America and she wants us to love one another, especially those who are poor, the unfortunate and the unborn. 
I love you all, Fr. Hien

PS:  Have you seen me on the billboards yet?  Thank you, to the Wichita Serra Clubs and Rusty Eck Ford for making me so public.  I hope & pray that everyone, including non-Catholics, would go an extra mile to love God and to do good for the salvation of souls like Jesus.  This is what I told my siblings, nieces & nephews: I’m watching.  Please slow down when you drive.  Don’t drink & drive.  Click it or I’ll tell momma (:
