Today we celebrated our Lord’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Hosanna in the highest! Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you;... He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey. - Zechariah 9:9 See more

Fifth week of Great Lent

Sunday of the Prodigal SonLuke 15:20-24 And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him...let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’

Blessed Feast of the Cross

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me...Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit" (Psalm 51:10-12). May the Lord begin this day in peace and purify our hearts.
