  • How shall we endure?

    Nov 11, 2022

    Stand firm to the end, Jesus tells us. “By your endurance, you will gain your souls.”

  • Believing in the Resurrection

    Nov 04, 2022

    In today’s first reading, which is the moving story of the martyrdom of the seven brothers, we see our own story as Christians in this age and time.

  • God gives us the grace to repent endlessly

  • Pray for a heart of generosity to love all
