Dear Friend,
Do you know what the world's safest place is? It isn’t riding in automobiles because they are responsible since 20% of all fatal accidents. It isn’t at home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home. It isn’t walking on the road or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians. No it’s not traveling by air, rail, or water; 16% of all accidents involve these forms of transportation. Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in hospitals. So, above all places, avoid hospitals.
However, you will be pleased to learn that only .001% of all deaths occur in worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders!
Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given point in time is at church! And reading and studying the Bible is safe too. The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even less.
So for safety’s, attend church and read your Bible. It could save your life!
By way of information, I will be away on Summer Break This Weekend. On the weekend of September 10th a video to introduce “Why Catholic?” – a program in Adult Religious Education will be shown after the Gospel followed by with in-pew sign-ups. The homily will return on September 17, 2006.
Your next letter and message will be emailed to you personally or posted to the homepage (www.olgrace.com) or my personal blog (frnickamato@blogspot.com) on Thursday, September 14, 2006.
Fondly,
Father Nick Amato
