Dear Parishioners,
"It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire" (Mark 9:43).
Dear Parishioners,
I was texted a video the other day of my four-year-old nephew Sebastian explaining what a crucifix was and why the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross. Sebbie is very intrigued by the Catholic faith and apparently, like his uncle, enjoys teaching it to others.
Dear Parishioners,
Do you have "thick skin"? Are you able to take criticisms, complaints, and setbacks well? Or are you sensitive and bothered when you don't please someone?
