On Groundhog Day the National Park Service posted, “Believe in yourself like a groundhog who thinks it’s a meteorologist.” Their posts are humorous but they also make a point; trust and believing go together. After Moses died it fell to Joshua to lead the Israelites forward. It was not easy for we hear in Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Pope Leo encourages us to trust. He acknowledges we may have struggles or circumstances that make us not want to believe, to not want to trust but, “the Gospel,” he says, “calls us to dare to trust.” And like the first disciples we are called to embrace God’s invitation “with joy knowing that every time and place is permeated by his presence and his love.”
Showcasing SHA talent: Groundhogs can’t chop trees but Savannah in 8th knows woodchucks can.
