The Sacrifices God Is Pleased With Series

Contributed by Isaiah Banjo on Nov 30, 2020

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of Praise – the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices, God is pleased. (NIV) Hebrews 13:15-16 Quite a lot to identify in this scripture. 1. The ...read more

The Transfiguration

Contributed by Fr. Damien Evangelista on Mar 31, 2020

The Cross and the Resurrection are inseperable

The season of Lent stresses a SOMBER mood by having us focus more on fasting and penance.
