Choosing to follow Jesus and to live according to his teachings means opening up our hearts to something new.

Faith expands our vision. It is faith that allows us to look beyond the ink on the pages of Scripture to discern how God’s Word is living and active today

To receive the Eucharist, is not to receiving something but to encounter Someone, because in the Eucharist we enter into a communion with Christ himself

God can transform the little we have to offer into something greater than we might ever imagine

we can only say we truly know this Good Shepherd if we are willing to listen to his voice and follow his commands in our daily lives.

“Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

Our faith, obedience, work for justice, and service are a response to the Savior’s gift.

God’s mercy most perfectly expresses itself in God’s desire to bring us to life in Christ, even when we were dead to sin and had wandered far away.

The Eucharist is an act of communion and we are brought into the life of Christ and the Church, as we are brought out of ourselves.

Jesus offered his followers, just as he offers each of us, the possibility of a new and life-changing relationship with God and each other within the communion of the Church.

Through Jesus and because he has given his life for “his flock,” we have an abundance of life.
