09.01.2022 This colourful and elaborate talk by Steve Ray provides a good insight in today's Gospel.

08.01.2022 The Church has always venerated the divine Scriptures just as she venerates the body of the Lord, since, especially in the sacred liturgy, she unceasingly receives and offers to the faithful the bread of life from the table both of Gods word and of Christs body (Dei Verbum #21). Learn more about the great gift of the Word of God in this article from Deacon Mike Bickerstaff.

08.01.2022 "As a Baptist pastor, Michael Davis understood the need to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and welcome the stranger, as commanded by Christ himself. But when he discovered Catholic Social Teaching, Michael found a whole new way to understand that performing works of mercy isnt just about meeting needs, but about cultivating a spirit of humility, love and service in the giver as well."

Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
