All Parish Read-The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity

- Faith Formation

Are You Ready to Let God Transform You?

For many of us, being a Christian is a part-time thing. We do our family thing, our job, our hobbies, our volunteering, and our church life. They’re all good, but we’re divided by them. But there is a difference between being busy and being complicated. Our lives may be busy with stuff, but if we’re focused on doing what’s pleasing to Christ, our lives won’t be complicated. Ask yourself: Is your life simple – or too complicated? Jesus doesn’t want to be just one among many good projects in our lives. He is the one thing necessary; the standard by which we measure everything else and our path to happiness—unbounding, joyful happiness. We hope you have been able to begin reading Matthew Kelly’s The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity: How Modern Culture is Robbing Billions of People of Happiness, will be available at the end of Mass. Take a copy from the back of the Church or get a copy in the parish office, and read it. Within it are the easiest steps, measured by mere moments, to uncomplicate our lives and bring us happiness.
