Though we complain, the Lord will always receive us and feed us with His Grace. Yet if we severe ourselves from Him...the root we will wither and die.

18th Sunday OTb: I am the Bread of Life!

 Life sometimes seems meaningless. We find ourselves saying: "all I do is work and take care of my family". Jesus wants to transform your ordinariness into extraordinariness.   

17th Sunday OTb. Ordinary to Extraordinary

Are you exhausted in life? God’s invitation to invest in Him

16th Sunday OTB

—what will the first words out of God’s mouth be to you when you stand before Him? Certainly one of them will be “who did you bring with you“. We are all meant to go out and bring others home, back to Jesus Christ—and we don’t have to over complicated it either. 

15th Sunday OTb—what will the first words out of God’s mouth be to you when you stand before Him?

Are our eyes fixed on the Lord, pleading for His Mercy? That is a question we should ask ourselves. What is Mercy? Isn't God all-merciful? Won't I just go to Heaven now if I died?

14th Sunday OT B

Death is never easy. Why does God take our loved ones? The First reading helps us come to understand that God hates death and that our homeland is with Him in the Kingdom. 

13th Sunday OT b

We walk by faith not by sight! God wants our mustard seeds of faith—the small things, not just big moments.

11th Sunday OT Cycle B

Jesus comes to us to feed us. Today is the celebration of the Most Holy Eucharist, the Body of Christ—Corpus Christi. What does a little Chinese girl and the prisoners at Dachau have to tell us how to live our faith today?   Open

Corpus Christi 2021

One in Three; Three in One, without separation or division.

Solemnity of the Holy Trinity 2021

What was Jesus’ homecoming like? What can we like it to in an Earthly analogy? Is the Ascension even important to us today?

Ascension Sunday

A Typewriter. A rotary phone. Elvis Presley. Things are fleeting and passing in this world. Time passes by, but only one thing is Eternal…Jesus Christ! Today our children make their First Holy Communion, and in the Gospel Jesus tells us that outside of Him we have no life. As the things of this world pass us by, life in Jesus is life!

5th Sunday of Easter (B)

Fourth Sunday of Easter (B) Good Shepherd Sunday

The Church has to get small in order for it to grow. NO Christian is meant to be isolated, alone or on an Island. The "Two Disciples" in the Gospel are leaving the community, but find hope in Jesus and in others. We need to form small-group-family-communities in order to build upon the faith.

3rd Sunday of Easter B

Directly from Faustina's diary we hear Jesus' words of Mercy and Trust!

Divine Mercy Sunday 2021 (Second Sunday of Easter)

Jesus is our only Hope! He wants our small offerings (the spice), He wants to remove all that keeps us from Him (our boulders), and He wants to give us new life (the Resurrection).
