WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR? Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live. Are we a people who when in need turn to the Lord first for help? You might think about this! In time of sickness, of death, serious tragedy&ldots;.is God your first avenue for help? How do you pray, when do you pray and for what do you pray? Pray with the Scriptures. Look at the Responsorial Psalm in today’s Mass for your prayer. See how beautiful it is! See how wonderful our God is to leave us this great inheritance of worship and prayer.
