Daily Mass Readings – Tuesday of the 8th Week of Ordinary Time

The Gospel today reminds that the love of God is the source of all love from which all other loves and graces find their meaning and power.  Do we love Christ above all else?  Do we place God first in our hearts?  May we continue to commit our lives to Jesus – in whose Sacred Heart flows the Love of God!

Daily Mass Readings

The heartfelt tone in the words of farewell spoken by Paul and Jesus speak to a common human experience: saying goodbye.  Change is often difficult, and one of our toughest moments comes when we know that people are passing through our lives.  While the pain is real, our faith reminds us that our final home is heaven…where our reunion in God’s presence will have no end.
