A special note about chain letters
Some people receive chain letters promising good luck if they send copies of the letter to other people. The letters also threaten misfortune if the receiver does not send the copies or breaks the chain.
Whoever writes or sends these letters is acting out of superstition or fear. Perpetuating this superstition, out of a desire for money or out of fear, signals a lack of faith in the wisdom and goodness of God, and could do great harm to the faith and peace of mind of others.
Superstitious people think they can control God by the number of prayers said or letters sent. Faithful people know they are loved by God, and they trust in that love – not in "luck." Please destroy these letters. Do not be afraid. God does not play games with us.
