"At the Eucharistic table, Christ prepares a meal that restores us and makes us ever more the children of God."
“In the face of death and mourning, Christ enters our locked hearts, shows us His glorious wounds, and speaks the only words that can heal our fear: ‘Peace be with you.’”
"The Resurrection is not a myth to comfort the weak—it is the moment that split history, shattered death, and began a new creation. It happened. And because it happened, nothing will ever be the same."
“The God who made the world has not abandoned it—He stepped into it, died for it, rose from it, and now works through us to redeem it.”
“The Cross reveals both the horror of our sin and the depth of God’s love—where guilt meets mercy, and suffering forged in the fires of love that turns it into into a Holy Sacrifice-the forgibeness of sins."
"On the night He gave us the Eucharist, Jesus also gave us the Priesthood—two gifts so bound together that to love one is to support the other."
“Suffering embraced in love is never wasted—it becomes a path to salvation, a light for others, and a share in Christ’s redeeming work.”
"Even in our sin, we are still God's children—and He’s always waiting to welcome us back."
"Fear not, you are inadequate."
Though we are broken and sinful, God's mercy sustains us. In Christ, our failures do not define us—hope does. Our citizenship is in heaven, and He has already won the victory. Let us walk in faith—God’s got our back.
Lent is not just about giving something up—it’s about stepping into the desert with Christ, facing our temptations, and allowing God to transform us.
" Lent is not about self-improvement—you can achieve that with a new routine or self-help plan. Lent is about something far deeper—true conversion, allowing God to transform us from within. "
" Remove the wooden beam from your own eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye."
" Forgiveness is not an option—it is a command. And when we choose mercy over resentment, we break the chains of bitterness and open our hearts to the healing love of Christ "
