Featured Sunday Reflections
Faithfully Communicating
Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time: Amidst the troubles of the world God is asking us to do something. To speak, teach, live out God's love. St. Paul reminds us that God 'did not give us a spirit of cowardice.' Jesus tells us all we really need is a small amount of faith for God to work wonders through us. All that is required is to face God. It is not about trying to reach God but understanding God is right here with us.
