Fr. Walsh talks about the school tragedy in Texas. He stresses that God needs to be a priority in all of our lives everyday. God's Spirit has been given to all of us and we cannot be afraid to live out the Gospel.

The Holy Spirit has a prominent role in our Faith. Fr. Shenoy tells us that the Holy Spirit will teach us and is present in all the Sacraments. We must let the Holy Spirit guide us and help us in our daily lives.

How do we love everybody? Deacon Bill talks about the virtue of respect, and by respecting all people's dignity we are in turn loving them.

Our mothers help us grow in our relationship with God and hear the voice of the Good Shepherd. Fr. Adam tells us about Saintly mothers who helped their children to respond to God's call.

Do you love me? That was Jesus' question to Peter in the Gospel and Fr. Walsh asks us the same question today, "Do you love Jesus?" If the answer is yes, then we must make Jesus a priority in our lives.

On this Divine Mercy Sunday, Fr. Adam reminds us the importance of receiving the free gift of mercy, which God extends to everyone.

Sometimes we might feel like the disciples before they encountered the Risen Lord, with fear and uncertainty about the future. Fr Adam encourages us to unite ourselves to the resurrection and live in hope.
