Dear Friends,

“Be What You are and Be at its Best.” S.F.S

Once upon a time, there was a king and he had a servant whom he liked very much because he was very wise and always gave very useful advice. Therefore, the king took him along wherever he went. One day, the king was bitten by a dog. His finger was injured, and the wound got worse and worse. He asked the servant if that was a bad sign. The servant said, "Good thing or bad thing, hard to say". In the end, the finger of the king was so bad that it had to be cut off. The king asked the servant again if that was a bad sign. Again, the servant gave the same answer, "Good thing or bad thing, hard to say". The king became very angry and sent the servant to prison. One day, the king went hunting in the jungle. He got excited when he was chasing a deer. Deeper and deeper he went into the jungle. In the end he found himself lost in the jungle. To make things worse, he got captured by natives living inside the jungle. They wanted to sacrifice him to their god. But when they noticed that the king had one finger missing, they released him immediately as he was not a perfect man anymore and not suitable for sacrifice. The king managed to get back to his palace after all. And he finally understood the servant's wise quote, "Good thing or bad thing, hard to say". If he hadn't lost one finger, he could have been killed by the natives. He ordered to release the servant and apologized to him. But to the king's amazement, the servant was not angry at him at all. Instead, the servant said, “It wasn't a bad thing that you locked me up.” The king was astonished and asked “Why?” The servant said, “Because if you had not locked me up, you would have brought me along to the jungle. Since the natives found that you were not suitable, then they would have used me for the sacrifice! So "Good thing or bad thing, hard to say". (From an unknown author) Yes, my dear friends, as we have started the public mass it is hard to say, “Good thing or bad thing”. It was good to see many of you. We need to leave the things of our life to the hands of the Blessed Trinity. As we celebrate the Solemnity of The Most Holy Trinity, I would like to welcome our new members to our Church Family. They are Amy Hansen, Breyton Franklin, Kaetlyne Leitch, Robert, Jennifer & Madelyn Adams, Tristan McElory, and Tucker McElroy. Welcome to the IC Church Family and God bless you all.

“Be Blessed and Be a Blessing”

Yours lovingly in Christ & Mary, Fr. R. Mathias MSFS
