Dear Brother and Sisters in Christ,
Today in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus is asked by the apostles to increase their faith. He tells them "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.” (Luke 17:6) Jesus also tells us something similar in Matthew 17:20 that even this smallest amount of faith can move mountains. This type of true faith requires us to completely surrender ourselves to Christ allowing him to do his will in our lives. This is when we are able to do the extraordinary. Many of our Saints throughout the history of the Church struggled with having faith. As we see with the apostles in today's Gospel they didn’t start out as the holy people, we know them to be. The Holy Spirit revealed to them with it meant to surrender themselves to Christ. It is only with the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit that they were able to persevere and completely surrender themselves to him.
It is easy to fall into the trap of trusting in what we can do ourselves, especially when we live in a society that teaches us to only rely and trust in ourselves, because no one else is looking out for us. This isn’t the case. We have a loving God who is always looking out for us, and he wants us to completely place our trust in him. He wants us to have faith that whatever he is calling us to do, he will give us the strength to do it. Sure, we will encounter trials along the way, but he never said having faith and trusting in him would be easy. Jesus didn’t have it easy when he walked among us. He experienced everything that we experience except for our sin. He even suffered and died for us paying the price for our sin.
May we continue to place our trust in Christ, having faith that he will provide us with what we need as he works in us and through us.
Your brother in Christ

Special to the Chieftain (Sun., Sept. 28, 2025)
The senseless violence, school shootings, acts of terror, and the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk while speaking to university students leave us with feelings of sadness, anger, and futility as to what is happening to our society. The killing of the young, our best and our brightest, in places of supposed safety, health and learning is leaving its dark imprint on those who survive. We pray for those who have been killed, for their families and communities. We pray for those who serve and protect in law enforcement. We pray for those survivors now left confused and afraid. We are all God’s children, and we share our sorrow with heavy hearts.
We also share a responsibility to be shepherds of the flock. Each in his or her own unique, personal way is given a charge over the protection of someone, some child, some vulnerable adult, whether that particular one is innocent or wayward. It is not enough to wring hands, express strong opinions, and wait for administrative remedies. We need to look out for one another. This begins with an individual awareness of the possibilities of signs warning that something is not right, and preparedness to reach out for help. And without prayer first, none of this will work. But we can do it, we can be shepherds with the help of God.
If you see something, say something. Safe2Tell.org is a 24/7 anonymous organization for you, your children, for anyone to contact “as soon as possible when you learn something that may cause harm to others or yourself. When you see something, say something. By reaching out to Safe2Tell.org you can help someone who is struggling. If your desire is to protect, repent, or help, send in your report. If you’re unsure whether you should send in a report or not, and you are making a report to protect, prevent, or help, send it in.” (From the Safe2Tell.org website. Other available resources include coloradocrisisservices.org and bha.colorado.gov/988.)
Trust your police officers, sheriff’s deputies, teachers, pastors, and medical professionals; they are trained and positioned to prevent tragedy. Build this trust into your personal and professional relationships with them and appreciate what they can do. When you see something, say something.
Each one of us is to be on alert, a watchful shepherd of God’s flock. Through all these recent terrible events, Jesus stands by us. He didn’t want this to start and doesn’t want it to continue. Nor can we take our next steps to bring safety and confidence into his fold without him. We pray that the Holy Spirit consecrates our efforts for peace, remembering that Jesus works in little ways to bring peace where it is most needed, that he is closest to us when he seems farthest away. May God bless us and keep those entrusted to us, all of us his children, safe. May we be the shepherds, which Jesus has called us to be, in care of all his beloved.
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Stephen J. Berg
Bishop of Pueblo
