CHURCH Continued from page 6 which our Lord warned would not be forgiven, either in that age, or in the age to come. Thus we close this article by quoting those pre- cious passages from Paul's epistles which clearly DENY the possibilityof any "unpar- donable sin" during the pres- ent "dispensation of the grace of God": "We have redemption through His blood, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, according to the riches of His grace" (Eph.1:7). "Moreover the law en- tered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righ- teousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom.5:20,21). exposed. "…There is nothing concealed that will not be dis- closed, or hidden that will not be made known." (Matthew 10:26) Our understanding the omniscience and omnipres- ence of our Heavenly Father will lead us into a new appre- ciation of His greatness and power as we flee from those sins which secretly draw us to them. When we under- stand that ever y thought and action we have is done in the presence of God, we will not be fooled into thinking that we can commit sin and 'get away with it'. The Psalmist David knew the wickedness and selfish ambition that lay within the human heart. He also knew that the One greater than man could correct and redi- rect those thoughts and am- bitions which would lead to destruction. To God, he directed this prayer which should contin- ually be on ever y Christian's heart; "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." (Psalm 139: 23-24) Are you willing to allow God to do a house cleaning within your hear t? If so, you will discover that nothing is hidden from Him. He will expose the secret sins that are hidden deep within and will create within you a new desire to live a life of righ- teousness and purity. You will be surprised as He reveals the impurity that has been hidden from you but clearly seen by others. Allow God to clean you until there is nothing left in your life but Him. Be assured that when He gets through cleaning the depths of your being you will never again be disap- pointed in the faults of oth- ers. Not so with God. The Bible is not the Good Ship Lollipop. No one gets a par ticipation award. Ever y- one falls shor t because ev- er yone has sinned. Not only does God see the sparrow that falls, he sees the pol- itician for sale, justice per- ver ted, the rich taking ad- vantage of the poor, the thief in the night, the assassin in the darkness, the r uler who r ules wisely and the fool that reigns. The prophet Malachi says God is writing a book of re- membrance. Jesus said ev- er yone will give an account of ever y idle word spoken. John the Revelation says God is keeping books he will use on judgment day. Paul says we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account, whether it is good or bad. In shor t, no one is getting away with anything. Not even a king or queen. After King Uzziah died, Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on his throne, being worshiped by the host of heaven. God was still on the throne. Heav- en was not in crisis. The only question on God's mind was, "who will go speak for me?" Which king are you listen- ing to? POINTS Continued from page 6 BRUTAL Continued from page 6 HOUSE Continued from page 6 Holy Cross names Distinguished Alumna Monica Weber, a lifelong member of Holy Cross Parish and whose parents were part of the founding members of Holy Cross in Fort Branch, was recently named the 2022 Distinguished Alumna by the Holy Cross Association of Alumni and Friends. The award was presented by Sue Harrell, president of HCAAF, at the Sunday Mass on Sept. 18 during the Par- ish's annual celebration week- end, which is always close to the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on Sept. 14. She also received respect and congratulations from Father Gar y. Established in 1997, the honor is awarded to Holy Cross School graduates for living exemplar y Catholic lives. To be considered for the award, a person must be a high school graduate for at least 15 years, demonstrate support of Catholic education, live according to the teachings of the Catholic Church, and be a positive Catholic influence in the community. Monica is a ver y familiar face around the Parish and is ver y active in church and school activities. Quoting one nomination form, "she was the driving force in starting the RCIA program at Holy Cross and has been a critical part of RCIA for 35 years." She has ser ved on almost all of our Church Commissions as well as our church minis- tries as lector and Eucharist Minister. She has also ser ved as a catechist for the Youth Religious Education Program, ser ved on the School Board, taught for the Vacation Bible School Program, and been a Prayer Partner at Holy Cross School. She also has exem- plified the meaning of living out her Catholic Faith in our community by supporting the Right to Life of Gibson Coun- ty and by participating as a Brownie and Girl Scout leader in the past. As you can see, Monica is a tireless worker for Holy Cross and an example of living the Catholic Faith. Monica and her husband, Jim, have three grown daughters, Tracy We- ber, Alicia Weber, and Sum- mer Kissel who all attended Holy Cross School. Her grand- children have also attended and are currently attending HC School. A reception was held after Mass for family and parishio- ners to show their gratitude to Monica for her dedication to Holy Cross School and Parish.
