SUNDAY September 3- 2023- YEAR 2- Episode# 78 Good Sunday Morning with Fr Andre on KNUS 710 am: How can God be felt? The Power of Religion: if atheism do away with God, what will happen to humanity? Fr Andre leads a conversation between Azar, a real human being, and Aurelius, an Artificial Intelligence Computer about the Truth of God and the risk of Atheism. Both Azar and Aurelius agreed that religion is one of the faces of humanity relating to God but it is not totally from God. Yet Christianity is about the Truth of the Revelation of God in Jesus Christ as God and Redeemer of mankind. John Lennox, Mathematician and philosopher said: "Do away with the greatness of God, ladies and gentlemen, and you can do away with the nobility of human beings endowed with all the potential of hearts and minds made in God’s image. You also do away with their freedom.  You are left with a mindless unguided process of somehow through the humans and its endless lottery to exist without ultimate hope for a tinny moment only to be crushed by the same blind forces that produced them. Some freedom that. and what about God? Is he really the despot they make him out to be? No there is yet more to his greatness. God is not only the great creator and judge He is a God of grace and love. And the central claim of Christianity is this: that as an expression of his love God himself became human. The Word became flesh. Christ chose us as none others than the greatness of God. He made unique claims to be the Truth, to be the Son of God and backed them up by a life and teaching without parallel. But his moral teaching was not his main message. His stated mission was to deal with a moral chasm that separates us human beings from God by taking our sins on himself.”How does the Mission of Hope and Mercy reflects the Truth of the Love of God and conveys it to the neighbor? The Mission of Hope and Mercy does lots of good works in the name of God and for the sake of His love and the love of the neighbor. We bear much sacrifices and we carry many crosses, we are subjected to many critics, bullying, persecutions, yet we keep going because we believe. I believe in God and the goodness of the human beings who are many. I believe that there are many people around us who care to be the personal extension of God’s mercy and care, love and peace, life and restoration, hope and reward in this earth. Through the concrete acts of the Mission of Hope and Mercy in the fields of Save, Aid and Educate about the Christian persecuted in the Middle East and the world, by providing food, medication, urgent care in housing, urgent surgeries, education to children, awareness programs about the plights of the christians in Lebanon, the Middle East and the world, and for the sake and purpose of giving hope, we provide assistance and try to be ambassadors on behalf of all Americans who care for faith in God, justice, freedom, family stability and Securtiy, human health, prosperity and economic stability, reconciliation, peace and mercy in the world.  This past week we sent another 12 thousand dollars to support the catholic school of the holy family in the mountains of Jbeil where there are over 20 teachers and 250 children almost and two nuns. We also provided 7 patients with medications, one of which is a life saving mediation. we helped a family of five with house rental. we helped another family of five with food. We helped a young family to secure milk and formula for one month supply. And now we like your support as we will be preparing for our Christmas Campaign.  These are the concrete ways through which we at the Mission of Hope and Mercy grow in the love of God and the Neighbor. We ask for your commitment to the cause and to support the work of the Mission For those who have been supporting us all along: THANK YOU AND PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
