     | 4,256 views

    Lent Mid-Week 2: When death comes close, it is painful. The faithful mourn. Even in this, the Lord tells us, we are blessed because He will draw close to bring comfort.

It is an emotional reaction based on outward circumstances. But ‘blessed’ in the Beatitudes refers to much more. It speaks to ...read more

    It’s through Love that we can show Christ in our actions and in our lives. It’s Love that we can lead others to a life in Christ
