FORMED Pick of the Week Are angels more than a myth? In this week s FORMED Pick of the Week, Venerable Fulton Sheen explains the nature of angels and the very real role they play in our lives with his everpresent humor and captivating mode of speaking. This week, go to formed.org and watch Angels with Bishop Fulton Sheen To get started, go to formed.org and enter our parish code: 9TKQCM DEACON S CORNER One of Formed s recommended videos this week is from Jimmy Akins, a famous Catholic Apologist, discussing the problem of evil. An age-old question of why God created a world that includes suffering. The video is a bit over an hour long but he summarizes the answer to the question with the following points: 1) We are finite and therefore cannot completely answer the question because God is infinite; a big part of the answer is wrapped up in the mystery of God s wisdom. 2.) God has reasons for allowing evil even if we don t know the answer, but could be to prevent greater loss or evil, such as subjecting ourselves to painful vaccinations to prevent worse diseases. 3) God gives us free will and as such we choose to do either good or evil; if we did not have free will there would be no reason to love. Love must be a free act of the will. 4) Death is not the end; the resurrection assures us of eternal life where eye has not seen and ear has not heard what God has in store for us. He will more than make up or compensate for what we suffer here on earth. See the Beatitudes. 5) God desires to bring only good out of evil. Perhaps we have experienced this in our own lives 6) Our Christian view, as opposed to an atheist s view, allows for hope, meaning and love beyond this life. 7) Our Christian faith answers evil: Consult the Catholic Catechism on line sections 300 to 315 to add more definition to Akins points. Or tune in to Formed and watch the video.

Here are some tips for parents whose children want to use Instagram: Instagram states that users should be at least 13 years old Private accounts are safer because the user has to approve follower requests Advise children not to share photos of friends without their permission Remind children to only post appropriate photos and comments Be aware the in-app private messaging can occur Consider obtaining your own account to understand how Instagram works For more information about child safety, visit
