LIFE CAN BE STRESSFUL, RIGHT? It is so easy for any of us, especially our youth to experience a myriad of pressures that can keep us off balance both personally and spiritually. 

But worry, stress, and fear are not new to this generation. Even the Apostles, our pillars of faith, experienced great anxiety and fear when Jesus entered into His passion and laid silently in the tomb. The Scriptures say the Apostles hid in the upper room with the door locked out of fear of the Jewish leaders. 

Then on the night of the Resurrection Jesus appears in the upper room and offers His peace to them. Twice He offers them peace as the Apostles still have fear, worry, and uncertainty in their hearts. 

What Jesus has offered every generation, and what he offers us and the students at Bishop England is a peace that fills the soul with security and love. It is a peace that cannot be reproduced through any person or thing on earth. It is a peace that is given to those who put their lives in the hands of Jesus. He offers his peace to those who TRUST IN HIM!

St. Padre Pio once said, “Pray, Hope, and Don’t Worry.” The simplicity of praying and turning every day to the Lord is a sure way to find peace in this world. That is what I hope for every student at Bishop England 

Be assured of my prayers for each of you, especially our parents and students. If I can be of any spiritual or emotional support, please reach out by email and our students through Microsoft Teams messaging.

God bless y’all, and may the Church be a place of healing for you and yours through Jesus Christ.
