Know Before You Go

Join Father Brendan Curran, OP, Dominican Promoter for Justice and Peace, for "Know Before You Go" on the Solemnity of Christ the King. This powerful reflection marks the end of the liturgical year with a message of profound hope, examining Jesus' kingship not through earthly power but through his ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Father Curran delves into the Gospel of Luke and the exchange with the Good Thief, challenging us to set our sights on God's eternal reign and become co-workers in building His kingdom amidst today's global struggles.
