God’s word this weekend
22nd Sunday in ordinary time - “Jesus says - what profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? The world may tell us that success means having more, achieving more and enjoying more. Jesus reminds us that our greatest treasure is not what we possess but who we become before God.”

God’s word this weekend

That should give us hope. Jesus does not call perfect people; he calls people who are willing to trust Him and grow.”
