He was made to suffer through the most horrifying death imaginable after being beaten almost to death… And I ask again what’s so good about this day? The Gospel reading for today is John 18:1 – 19:42. ItContinue reading “What’s so good…”

Quiver of God!
Have you ever felt like you weren’t doing that thing that you should be doing? Thought about changing your career? But is career in my thought is not vocation.
