This Sunday Msgr Watkins reminds us and the children receiving their First Holy Communion that God wants to be close to us. The Eucharist brings God so close, that He is within us.

God forms us so that we may grow in Him, just as the vine grower prunes his plants.

Msgr. Watkins speaks on our need for a Good Shepherd who knows us and whose voice is known to us. A recent convert shares his experience encountering that Shepherd.

Christ expresses His resurrection in our lives by sharing with us authentic, pure joy.

The primary fact of Easter is that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead, and we have lots of time to contemplate how it changes our lives. But first we have to believe in the resurrection.

We wish you a blessed Divine Mercy Sunday! Learn from St. John Paul II and St. Peter about the incredible mercy of God and the Resurrection of Jesus.

We are called to forgive not for the other person's sake, but for our own.

God the Father's blessing gives us the freedom to serve others without self-consciousness or shame.

Our union with Christ gives us authority to participate in salvation.

Jesus seeks to drive out the false ideas that are embedded in our souls, just as He drove out the moneychangers from the temple.
