Many spiritual writers bring before their readers the need for spiritual warfare. The first thing to realize is that there is a battle between good and evil, heaven and earth. Many are complacent, indifferent, or apathetic. Once a person is aware of this struggle then the antidote to the poison can be utilized. The Gospel this Sunday points us to Jesus Christ.

As Church we are always looking for ways to encourage our families: husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, and children. It is because we believe that the vocation of married people is special; it is integrally linked to God’s plan in many wonderful ways

This feast is set aside to remind us of the great gift we have from the Lord Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. The night He was betrayed by sin and hate, ourselves included, He did the opposite and instituted for us the Most Holy Eucharist, the Sacrament of Love.

The entire Church is called upon to be renewed by the Most Holy Trinity through authentic teaching, discipline, and spirituality. There is no other way and no short cut. It is the Way of the Lord, which is tried and true. He is our first, last, best, and only hope. We are confident that He will remain with us always, as He promised.
