Our Lord tells us not to anxious or worried because we are more significant to the Father than many sparrows.

As we celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity, we remind ourselves that God is one Being or substance of three Persons, perfectly united and coequal.

Jesus Ascends to heaven, entrusting the mission of making disciples to His disciples, which includes us. Maybe, if we see this task first as introducing others to Jesus Christ our Savior as a friend, the mission is not too difficult. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay #mercywithteeth Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: http://eepurl.com/ioCgy2 Give feedback at https:/...

As we hear from the Good Shepherd narrative of St. John, Chapter 10, we reflect this weekend on the call of the Good Shepherd.

Christ appears the Apostles, but St. Thomas was not with them the first Sunday of Easter. But his faith is affirmed when he sees the Risen Lord, and makes a bold proclamation: My Lord and my God". We may not experience the Lord in the same way as they did, but He is still giving Himself to us in the Eucharist. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay #mercywithteeth Sign up to have podcasts an...

In the Entrance Gospel, we hear that the people cried Hosanna, looking for a messiah. Jesus is indeed the Messiah, but not the one they expected. In the Passion according to St. Matthew, the people cry out for our Lord to be crucified, and that His blood be on them on on their children, and that is what God the Father intends - that the blood of Jesus Christ be on them to save them, and all mankin...
