Making Things New!

It is always good to keep things renewed, refreshed and updated. That is what is going on at the parish church of St. John the Baptist in Hanover, KS. A new roof has been installed. Right now they are putting up new gutters and putting down a new carpet inside. Routine maintenance is something that always needs to be done on any building. A church is a special building because it is God's House and we need to keep it looking beautiful now and for generations to come. The same is true for the house that God gave us, our human body and all that goes with it. We need to keep our own houses clean and renewed. Keeping our spiritual house in order is of prime importance. Taking the time each day to pray, receive the sacraments, scripture study or spiritual reading. All of these help us to grow in our faith and to be renewed. Let us do what we can to always make ourselves new, in Christ. Have a blessed day!
