Dear Parishioners and Friends. Listening to the words of today’s Gospel (Mt 15: 21-28), we ask ourselves: can we afford to help, unselfishly, those who need it, and do not have the courage to ask for it? For many of us it is not only a physical but an emotional problem as the words.. read more →

Dear Parishioners and Friends, Today’s Gospel shows us the image of the Lord Jesus preaching at the home of two sisters, Martha and Mary.

Dear Parishioners and Friends. “Johnny, do not take yourself so seriously,” wrote Pope John XXIII to himself in the “Diary of the Soul.” Anxiety, high self-esteem, or even morbid self-obsessive tendencies are quite common personality disorders; people seek approval from others.

Dear Parishioners and Friends. Why does Jesus cause feelings of anxiety in us? In today’s Gospel, we hear: “If any one comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26).
