Dear Friends,
When we respond to God's law through our obedience, we give a witness to the world that can convert it.
We cannot be forced to love God. We have a choice to put our words of belief into action. Our choice to accept.
God's love will propel us to express our love in word and action.
May we all be doers of the word and not hearers only.
God bless you.
Father Lionel

Dear Friends,
In the first reading , Joshua called his people to make their choice; the false gods or the True God. Joshua reminded them of what God had done for them . Inviting them to serve the One true God, not the god of pride, money, honor, pleasure etc. In the gospel today, Jesus is asking us , " well do you want to leave too.?" What is your answer?
Are we willing to repeat the words of Peter and say to Jesus with love and faith, " we have believed , and we recognize that you are the Christ, the Son of God."
Jesus Loves You!
Fr.Lionel
