Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus, We have just entered the month of May – the month dedicated in special way to devotion to the Virgin Mary! Our Blessed Mothers desires with all her Immaculate Heart that we strive to be holy, to be saints! This is something that is attainable for all of us, with the help of God’s grace. However, if we do not chose or desire to be saints, it is not possible. Therefore, it is wise and...

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus, The practice of our Catholic Faith is centered upon the Holy Mass and the gift of the Holy Mass is a priceless Spiritual Treasure!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

The Holy Mass is a priceless Spiritual Treasure! Yet, perhaps it is only in times like we have now, when Holy Mass is not celebrated in a public manner, that we can come to deeper understanding and profound gratitude for this Spiritual Treasure.
