The Church and angels
This week, we liturgically celebrate angels twice, the Feast of the Archangels on September 29 and the Memorial of the Guardian Angels on October 2.
Finding peace through God
In times of trial, tribulation, and suffering, Jesus seeks to console and strengthen us!
Choose love over hate and evil
Our nation continues to reel from the recent deadly shootings of Catholic school children at Mass in Minnesota and the murder of Charlie Kirk last week.
Jesus IS the Savior
When Jesus returned to Nazareth after His Baptism, He proclaimed in the synagogue the passage from the prophet Isaiah that spoke of the coming Messiah and His saving actions.
Knowing the presence of God
Through divine revelation, we know a lot about God. The Bible reveals Him as the Creator, the Lord who establishes a covenant with the children of Israel.
