Message From Fr. John...

To my dear St. John Neumann Parish family: 

 The prophet Isaiah prophesies the attitude of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  He wrote. “The Lord God is my help, therefore I am not disgraced; I have set my face like flint, knowing that I shall not be put to shame.”  The Lord, willingly endured his passion for us because he knew that what he taught and preached was the truth of God.  He tells us in the Gospels that he tells us only what he has heard from his Father.  His example to us is to hold onto the truth that we have received from God and his Church. Today, the opportunity for persecution because of our faith is available to us.  Our attitude needs to be the same as the Lord’s.  We must be willing to endure the persecution, holding on to the truth, teaching it as a sign of our hopefully eternal union with Christ.  Our suffering for the Lord, as he suffered for us, can be salvific.  First in our example to others.  It is the example of the martyrs that called many to faith.  Second in offering atonement for our sins now rather than in Purgatory.  And third by uniting ourselves to Christ in his death and hopefully in his resurrection.
