If God is with us, it is accomplished
"For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself.
But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God.” They were persuaded by him." (Acts 5: 38 - 39)
No fear, No worry, No doubt. God is in control.

Is Jesus not the son of the carpenter?
"Unless the LORD build the house,
they labor in vain who build.
Unless the LORD guard the city,
in vain does the guard keep watch.
It is vain for you to rise early
and put off your rest at night,
To eat bread earned by hard toil—
all this God gives to his beloved in sleep." (Psalm 127: 1 - 2)
Lord, prosper the work of our hands.
they labor in vain who build.
Unless the LORD guard the city,
in vain does the guard keep watch.
It is vain for you to rise early
and put off your rest at night,
To eat bread earned by hard toil—
all this God gives to his beloved in sleep." (Psalm 127: 1 - 2)
Lord, prosper the work of our hands.

Believers were of one heart and mind
"The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common." (Acts 4: 32)
Our time, talent and treasure come from God.

Tested by fire
"In this you rejoice, although now for a little while you may have to suffer through various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire, may prove to be for praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 1: 6 - 7)
Endure your trials as discipline. (Hebrews 12: 7)
What wonderful truths to contemplate on Divine Mercy Sunday. My faith is being tried in the crucible of fire. God is most merciful and loving. The purpose of the testing is not to prove me a failure. Just as God does not rejoice in the destruction of a wicked man, so does He not want the failure of His children. In my trials, scripture encourages me with these words:
"Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,
for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
And let perseverance be perfect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." (James 1: 2 - 4)
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, you are the most merciful. Grant me the grace to persevere to the end. You are the One Thing Necessary. At the end of my testing, may you become all that I need. May I say: Jesus Christ has truly become my Good Shepherd. I have everything I need.
