This week Helen reflects on Jesus’ parable about the two sons. Is it easy to say “yes” and not follow through? Let’s read how our actions help us enter the kingdom of God.

This week, Nancy Flores reflects on how the Gospel and the Lord have become part of her life, and how He can be part of ours also. “I know in my heart I am a beloved child of God.”

This week, Vanessa reflects on the Gospel readings about forgiveness. It’s sometimes hard, but what does it feel like when we do forgive? “May we know the true freedom that comes from forgiving from our heart.”

This week, Laurie Lopez reflects on how we should handle conflicts and the importance of community. “We are reminded whenever two or more are gathered together there is he in there midst.”

This week Gina reflects on our distractions from pursuing a long-lasting relationship with God. In many ways we are like Peter who sometimes lost sight of Jesus’s ministry and discipleship.

This week, Aaron reflects on who Jesus is and the meaning of “Messiah”. Aaron absolutely loves history (we’re sure you can tell) and had a good time writing this piece. We hope you enjoy it.

In our reflection this week, Rowena reminds us to have an honest and open heart to Jesus when life challenges us. “Jesus shows us that He came for everyone. Jesus, the Man, is also Divine Love. Many witnessed that by His word, alone, the woman’s daughter is healed.”

This week, Ron reflects on our faith. “Jesus is the center and model for our daily lives.  I remind myself to trust Jesus always, not just when convenient and easy.”

This week Deacon Benjamin reflects on what the readings tell us about heaven. “Jesus wants us to understand that the kingdom of heaven is worth more than any material possessions we may have. Fix our eyes on Jesus knowing that what we go through in this life is short-lived, where the reward in heaven is eternal.”
