For instance, here’s a typical picture of a guy who needed a little help with his hair loss. 3. Here’s a picture of a lady ...read more

    The King’s New Clothes Series

Listen to this: “[Americans] are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God ...read more

    In this life we tend to focus on things which have no weight in eternity. This homily expresses the need for personal responsibility.
