“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.” — John 3:17

This week’s Gospel reflection on Matthew 28:16–20 reminds us of Jesus’ final command to His disciples: to go forth, make disciples of all nations, and trust in His abiding presence.

Fr. Zach shared, “To be a disciple is to be willing to embrace your weakness, embrace the struggle of being a disciple, and share the life that the Lord has given us.”

Even in moments of doubt, the Lord calls each of us to worship Him, follow Him faithfully, and witness His love to the world.

Following Jesus means encountering His very life alive within us.

This weeks reflection is on John 14:15-21

This week’s Gospel reflection on John 14:1–12 reminds us that Jesus reveals the heart of the Father to us and invites us to trust Him more deeply.

Fr. Chuck shared: “To imitate Jesus in our dynamic of depth and relationship with the Father, so that when others encounter us, they also experience the love of the heavenly Father.”

May our lives reflect that same love, so others may come to know the Father through the way we live, love, and trust in Christ.

En nuestra Misa en español tuvimos una bendición especial para MDS (Matrimonio, Diálogo y Seguimiento), ya que en el mes de abril celebramos 17 años desde que comenzó este ministerio en San Lorenzo. Damos gracias a Dios por estos 17 años de fe, comunidad y servicio. 🙏🏼🤍

Sometimes it can be hard to recognize Jesus’ voice, and the enemy can convince us that Jesus doesn’t have our best interests at heart. This week’s Gospel reminds us that the more time we spend with Jesus, when the temptation not to trust Him arises, we can say, “I know where that’s coming from. That doesn’t sound like Jesus.”

To hear the full reflection with Fr. Chuck and Fr. Zach, click the link in our story or under the “Reflections” tab in our bio.

This week’s reflection is on John 10:1–10.
