Sad times of war

War brings destruction and suffering, whether in Ukraine, Gaza, or other parts of the world. Amidst this violence, the international community seems hesitant to act decisively for justice. The absence of God in our conscience leads to moral decay, as we fail to recognize His standards of goodness. Without courageous voices advocating for the victims, we risk a global disaster. In these troubled times, let us remember to seek God’s help and comfort Him, who is so unjustly offended by our actions.

GROWING IN DIVINE GRACE (#2)

Grace is the divine seed planted in our souls, a gratuitous gift from God that calls us to grow in faith, hope, and love. Through the sacraments, the practice of virtues, and prayer, we nurture this grace, allowing it to flourish and bring us closer to God. As St. Teresa of Avila reminds us, it’s not the grandeur of our works but the love with which we perform them that matters.
