“Here I Am, Send Me” - From Fear to Thanksgiving

Fr. John Hodgson reminded us that a Novena is a time of waiting, praying and trusting in God. Through Diane's story, he showed how fear can be transformed into thanksgiving when we recognize that "God doesn't hurt us" but offers healing and grace. Like Diane, we are invited to hold our worries in God's loving heart through Mary.As the Redemptorists enter a time of change, we accompany them in prayer and trust. "God holds a mystery," and Mary brings us to Jesus, sending us forth to proclaim "the good things that God has done" in our lives.- Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. John Hodgson, C.Ss.R.
