In April 15, 2013, we realized yet another tragedy in our country during the Boston Marathon. So we must pray for all of those that perished, for those that are injured and for those that showed compassion and helped all of those in need. For the first time in my memory, the news media focused on the amount of people that were displaying acts of kindness. People, that instead of running away, ran into the area to help others. If you have ever wondered about the presence of God, every news station captured Him. He was in the runner that went straight to the hospital to give blood. He was in the marathon volunteers that aided the injured. He was in the medical staff that just poured out the tent to help. He was in the store owners that allowed people to find shelter. He was in the spectators that just wanted to help.
So I challenge the youth. We must not let God sit in our shadows. We must make him part of everything in our lives. The way we treat others. The way we act. The way we pray. The way we help others. More importantly the way that we show thanksgiving to God by participating in Mass. Let us all be example of what God wants us to be.
May God bless us all.
