Today’s Gospel reminds us of the mandate of our Christian calling: “Go out into the whole world and proclaim the Good News to all creation…” Christ Himself evangelized through His words, works, sufferings, and complete offering of Himself. Now He calls us to do the same because the same spirit that sustained and resurrected Him […]

Today’s Gospel reveals that love is sacrificial. Laying down your life clearly shows that love requires a sort of death to self. It requires we look to the other first, putting their needs before ours. We lay down our lives for others in many ways. Some small, some big. Most importantly, we must foster an […]

This week’s Gospel text invites us to live a more authentic Christian spirituality. It tells us that we need to be disciples who have a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus – just as he has with the Father. It challenges us to see how abiding in Jesus means that we abide in community – […]

Today’s Gospel Story not only points to Jesus the Good Shepherd, but arouses in us the perpetual questions, choices and ultimate decisions that we must make throughout our lives.

We are called to be transparent Christians, showing others through our lives the love, mercy, compassion, and the spirit of selfsacrificing service lived by the Risen Jesus dwelling in […]

Let us take a fresh look at the events of Palm Sunday. It could change us forever because the Passion of Jesus shows us that we are sinners who have crucified Jesus, and we are able to turn to Jesus again and ask for His mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is through the […]

We need to rediscover who we are. Christ’s death for us on the Cross will be meaningless if we cannot accept the slightest inconvenience to accommodate others. If we cannot make simple or heroic sacrifices to make others better than our selves. We need to step out of our comfort zone to discover thousands whose […]

Being a Christian is not just about following rules and regulations; it is about following a Person. It is about following Jesus Christ. Being a disciple of Jesus is not just or even a matter of the head; it is a matter of the heart. We are people of the light, not the darkness. We […]
