Homilies

Give It All

Detach yourselves from your self-will. It will cost a lot. Whenever we offer up our self-will, we will be crucified.

Three Loves

This week, during your daily prayer time, write down three things you love. Search your heart and ponder. What do you love? What is in your heart that you love?
