Posted on December 16, 2012 by diocesan-freeport

With this pasy Fridays killing at the elementary school in Conn. it makes it hard to feel like rejoicing. It raises many questions about life and God. So all the more do we need to hear the Good News; Jesus is still coming.

Who Is our King?

Posted on November 25, 2012 by diocesan-freeport

We all have our things we put before God. Coffee, Chocolate, the Media, Fashion, Famous People,  Politics or Ideologies. As Catholics, we are called to ave Christ as our king in all aspects of our lives. It is Jesus that died on the cross for us. It is He who has mercy on us, nobody else.

Renewing the Temple Within

Posted on November 11, 2012 by diocesan-freeport

The Church is in dire need of renewal. We are the church. We have abandoned the ways of Christ and preferred our own ways. We suffer all the more because of it. I invite you to be renewed from withing by embracing all aspects of our faith.

The Culture of Death vs The Sacred Heart

Posted on October 10, 2012 by diocesan-freeport

The pessimism and depression of the world cannot bring fulfillment. Rather, Jesus is the one that saves. Dedicate your life and your family to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Let His heart concur the world that is attacking your heart and family.
