Dear Kevin,
Jesus came into this world to suffer and die for our sins so that we would no longer be prisoners of our sinful natures. We were all (except for our Blessed Mother Mary) born with original sin. We cannot overcome our sinful natures without the help of our Lord Jesus and our Blessed Mother. On Saturday, May 13th, the Catholic Church is celebrating the 100th Anniversary of our Blessed Mother's appearances (from May 13th to October 13th, 1917) to Lucia, Francesco and Jacinta in Fatima, Portugal. Our Blessed Mother asked the children to pray the Rosary daily for the salvation of souls. I am amazed at how many Catholics say they believe in God and trust in Him but they refuse to trust His Words (Holy Scripture) and instead of trusting in the Lord with all their hearts, they lean on their own understanding. Our world has many opinions on everything. God gave us the Bible as a guide to lead us on our spiritual journeys because He knows we cannot do it by ourselves. We need God.TBC
