YOUTH NEWS: BIBLE TRIVIA

Last Week's Question:

What is the task of the Church on Earth?

To spread God's kingdom on Earth.

Our New Challenge:

To whom does Jesus promises the

Kingdom of God?

HOLY WISDOM

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. (Habakkuk 3:18) "Habakkuk rejoiced in the Lord even though the circumstances were against him, he reminds me of the Italian violin player Niccolò when he was playing a hard piece of music in front of large crowds in Italy. While he was playing, one of the strings of the violin was cut but Niccolò continued playing on the other three strings with a high talent. Then the second string was cut and also the third string and even though this happened, the talented musician continued playing on one string. When he finished playing the piece that he played a part of it on one string, the crowd stood and clapped hard for him and kept standing as they liked the music that he played on one string. After they sat down, the musician pointed at the leader of the orchestra and said: one more time! The leader looked to the crowd and said: Niccolò the musician, with only one string, then he played the hard piece of music again on one string only, and the music was one of the best pieces of music the crowd have heard." My beloved, God can make you happy, and brings out the best hymns in spite of the harsh circumstances. Trust that God can work with the little and the much. Your faith, and living your life to God is an invitation for Him to start to work with you... Let us start each day a fresh start with God. Amen.
