Pastoral Reflection
This is the true
blindness, the
blindness of those
who cannot see or
recognize the infinite
grace of God that is
poured out
abundantly for all
those he loves.
Br. Salvador Mejia, OFM
Pastoral Associate

RCIA Second Scrutiny
Let us pray for our
elect whom God has
called, that they may
remain faithful to him
and boldly give
witness to the words
of eternal life.
