In The Power Of The Spirit
Contributed on Apr 22, 2025
“Ite Missa est, alleluia, alleluia.” Literally, that means, “Go, the Church is sent, alleluia, alleluia.” Because we are all missionaries to a world in desperate need of Christ.
Sunday of Divine Mercy 2025 When the Church gets really excited about one of God’s wonderful works, She commits Liturgy over and over again.
