It is high time for older people to
talk to the young about, ‘How to
secure their hearts with God.’
Young people need the favor and
grace and blessing of the Lord now
more than ever. Our youth need to
realize that Almighty God is not a
myth but a real existing person who
cares for them as well as for the
whole world. Also that the Bible is
not just a book for older folks to
read, but for them also
God’s word is timeless. It's
messages are as much for today's
generation as yesterday and before
It is still our guidance today in how
to secure our hearts with God. Let us
One of the many letters I have re-
ceived as a result of that column
comes from a reader in Williams-
burg. Va
But this reader has still another sto-
ry about Jesus' "hidden years" — as
the period in his life between the ages
of 12 and 30 is known The Bible says
nothing about those 18 years

deathbed, he gave the cup to the own-

“I think if anyone had fears that
maybe the pope was going to tear us
to pieces, that did not happen at all,"
Flores told the San Antonio Light
from Vatican City. "We reminded
ourselves and we were reminded by
the people of Rome and by the Holy
Father not to give up and to continue
doing those things that we are
doing."
The pope, who made a 10-day U.S.
tour that included a stop in San An-
tonio, in September 1987, has met
with all 300 U.S. bishops in the past.
But Flores said the special meeting
provided the opportunity to follow up
on important issues
While some had predicted the
meeting might change the face of
the 53-million-member U.S. Catholic
Church going into the 21st century,
Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston
said it still was too early to say.
"I don’t think this was the great
moment in the sense of a great turn-
ing moment. I think it was a very
significant time in the life of the
church in the United States," Law
said. "I think it will remain to be
seen what effect it will have in our
life as we go about living it."
as adults, and perhaps older Chris-
tians, help our children to learn
about the all-powerful being.
The Bible tells us in II Timothy
3:16,17, "All scripture is given by in-
spiration of God, and is profitable
for teaching, for reproof, for correc-
tion, for instruction in
righteousness that the man of God
the perfect, thoroughly furnished un-
to all good works..."
“Faith still cometh like it always
has, by hearing the word of God."
(Romans 10:17)
Yes, it’s more than high time —
Let’s do it now! Today. Teach the
young to secure their hearts
bishops of the United States, he
simply wanted to again encourage
all by calling a few of us together,"
Flores said “Encourage and
challenge because this is what he
did."
The pope and other church leaders
are concerned about the effects of
feminism on the American church,
particularly on church teachings
and liturgy, the lives of priests and
nuns, and the family.
"There is an urgent need for a
sound, philosophical theological
critique of this type of feminism,"
