"The Parable of the High-School Sweetheart Wannabe" — 18th Sun. in Ordinary Time, 8/2/26

Has something in your life only become apparent to you after you see it in past photos? In the same way, we may need the Holy Spirit's help to look back and realize that Jesus has always been there for us and will always be there. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us become more aware of God's relentless love, from which nothing can separate us.
