Mon, 09 May 2022

Acts 11:1-18, Jn 10:1-10. The events that led to great transformation in Peter after Pentecost should give us the greatest hope for the possibility of change in our life. From such an impulsive, self-centred man who dared to persuade Christ away from His way of the Cross (Cf. Mt. 16:22), became totally transparent to the..

Whoever comes to me, I will not cast out

By REV. FR. SAMUEL FREDERICK
Wed, 04 May 2022

Acts 8:1-8, Jn 6:35-40. After the death of Stephen, a storm of persecution broke out against the early Church in Jerusalem and increased in its fury. The prime agent in this campaign of persecution was Paul. As the floodgates of persecution opened against Christians, the focus shifted from Jerusalem to the other towns of..

1 Cor. 15:1-8, Jn 14:6-14. Today we celebrate the glorious Feast of Saints Philip and James, the two faithful servants of God who dedicated their lives in the service of God.
