Show us the Father and we will be satisfied!

From a sermon by Saint Ephrem, deacon

“He whom the whole world cannot contain, Mary alone embraces. Mary was made heaven on our behalf by bearing the divinity which Christ, without leaving the glory of the Father, enclosed in the narrow confines of her womb so as to lead men to greater dignity.”

Pope Leo XIV first homily, “Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God: the one Saviour, who alone reveals the face of the Father.

Unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, you have no life in you.

Loving God is life; to not love God, truth and neighbor is to turn from life to death.

Through the Apostles, Christ is obliterating the kingdom of darkness: exorcisms galore, healings, faith increasing.

This is the great challenge for us! We can focus so much on giving ourselves to Jesus and our neighbor, but lack accepting Jesus and others into our hearts.

Let the love of Christ fill your hearts!
