Accompaniment and Compassionate Listening in Community

When God created Man, The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 As humans, we don't flourish as people by being isolated and living by ourselves but by engaging as full members of our community.

Who Is Jesus?

The name, “Jesus” means in Hebrew, “GOD saves”. In His name is His mission and identity.

(C.C.C. 2. 430)   Biography: Jesus [...]

They said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here."(Matthew 14:17) How many time have we told the Lord that we do not have enough to feed the rest? If only we believe that we just need to take the first step to surrender to Jesus and he will provide the rest.   The little boy [...]

Liturgical Reflection for 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (26 July 2020)

Jesus used these parables to explain and give us a glimpse of [...]
