  Twenty-eighth Sunday of Ordinary Time: Wearing the clothes of Christ

  Oct 10, 2020

  Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time: Duped by love

  Aug 29, 2020

  Men of God, women of God, we have been wounded by Love. When we made the conscious choice of Jesus Christ, we set out on a course of action that does not allow turning back. But we don’t care. We are wounded by His Love. And we love it. He is within us, burning for us to proclaim his presence.
