Weekly Reflection

God's Grace

09-20-2026 | Fr. Jess Ty

Dear Family of God,

What is grace? How did he merit grace for us?

He is so patient with us and wants us all to be in Heaven with him. He patiently calls and waits for each one of us to answer his call to repentance and holiness, to intimate relationship with Him. Sometimes we feel that God is not fair in his dealings with each one of us. We compare ourselves with others just like the early workers in the vineyard who complained God’s seemingly unfair wages to all the workers.
