Dear Brothers and Sisters, We continue this week with our series Face 2 Face. The gospel of the Good Shepherd (John 10: 1-10) and the other readings help us a lot. This gospel follows Jesus’ cure of the man born blind and is aimed at the Pharisees who remain willfully blind to this miracle as…

Their Eyes Were Opened At The Breaking Of The Bread
Dear Brothers and Sisters, It is possible as we have been saying to touch the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, to have an experience of it that is very real. And in order for this to happen we need to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He was more than a great man who changed…

Exorcise Your Addictive Anxiousness
