Return to the Church | Strengthening family unity
Tomorrow we celebrate Our Lady of Fatima, the most well-known Marian feast of this “Month of Mary.” The message from Fatima is a great message of hope. Yet a hope that is not naïve to real challenges that we must face together with the Lord.

If you understand this blessed are you if you do it? What was Jesus referring to when he asked this in the gospel, we heard at mass today.

Then he said, if you understand this blessed are you if you do it. And ever since people have been doing it.
