Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton

In the Bible, fire is often used to describe God’s burning love for humanity. The fire Jesus has come to bring is the fire of love, the fire of hope, the fire of faith, and the fire of justice.

The Lord says: "If it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you!" Surrounded by confusion, and people obsessed with power, the Lord reminds us of His divine power. So He proclaims The Kingdom of God has come upon you! We know this. We know how this divine power has been at work in the Church for centuries. We have known the Lord’s power in our own lives.
