Weekly Reflection

Answering the Call of Eternal Life

07-26-2026 | Fr. Jess Ty

Dear Family of God,

What are you willing to sacrifice in order to possess Eternal Life?

To know and experience the love of God is more than any treasure or any pearl of great price. To possess God or rather to be possessed by Him is more than anything we could possess in this world.
