From today’s Gospel: Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily [...]
In the Gospel for today’s Sunday we heard the story of the Good Samaritan. The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of the most well known of Christ’s teachings. Very often the word “Samaritan” is use in our civil society. Many hospitals, homeless shelters, and other charitable institutions bear the name. Many people who [...]

Christ has risen! Alleluia! The word, “alleluia”, signifies “give praise to God”. Blessed are those who follow him and praise him. No other event has been recorded in the history of the world comparable to the one that took place on that Sunday morning when the women discovered the empty tomb of Our Lord. Yet, [...]
