…With Mary the Mother of Jesus – April 30, 2018

Feast of Our Lady of Africa Today we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Africa. This is one feast that highlights the intercessory role of our Blessed Mother and the fact that she is always with us in the Church as we see in the first reading. It is very remarkable that Mary, the…

The Vine – April 29, 2018

In His Presence – April 28, 2018

To Believe in God – April 24, 2018

Today’s gospel ends with a very emphatic statement that does not only point to the divinity of Jesus, but that simply says that Jesus is God. The Lord himself says: “I and the Father are one.” Jesus realizes that the Jews do not believe in him, and without mincing words, he goes on to apply the…

The Door of the Sheepfold – April 23, 2018
