“They forgot God who saved them” (Psalm 105, 21). To how many may not these words be applied today! How many there are who come into this world and pass beyond its bounds and never know the loving God who died to save them.
COMMENT: What Fr Willie wrote over 100 years ago is even more apt for our world today. How many, even in traditionally Christian countries and even among the baptised, do not know the God who created them, who loves them, who died for them and who longs for them to spend eternity in His love!
What are each of us doing about this?

Reading the words above by Father Doyle ought to motivate us all to share the “Good News”, and not ever fear to acknowledge God, wherever and with whom ever we may encounter-with kindness, gentleness, charity. Just bring Christ to those we meet, to situations where we find ourselves. The Holy Spirit will do the rest. The world is in desperate need of God, as are individuals: the lonely, the ill, the forgotten or neglected, those who suffering anything at all- we all need God. As Father Doyle writes about people in the world in his time and certainly in our own time :
“…never knowing the loving God Who died to save them.” It is up to each of us to bring God to the world starting with our home, workplace, school recreational areas; bring Christ to others in a Christ-like way
