A call to integrity: Why Catholics must weigh everything against the Truth of the Gospel, not partisan agendas or digital deception.

"It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and of us not to place burdens on you." The early Church rejected legalism to embrace the freedom of the Gospel.

God’s promise of a “new heaven and new earth” isn’t just for the future—it begins today through our choices. God dwells with us NOW. Are we building His kingdom—or tearing it down?

Join us for a Word of Hope on this significant Saturday of the Octave of Easter, as we reflect on the glorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and commemorate the funeral mass of our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis.

This reflection touches upon the courage, kindness, and compassion shown by leaders, drawing inspiration from figures like Pope Francis.

Join us as we explore the profound mystery of the empty tomb as recounted in the Gospels of John (Chapter 20) and Luke. We'll unpack the experiences of Mary Magdalene, Peter, and John as they encounter the first signs of Jesus' triumph over death – the rolled-away stone, the burial cloths, the angelic message: "Why are you looking for the living among the dead?"
