Transfiguration 2023 (10th Sunday after Pentecost) Pride is placing ourselves before God and neighbor. We must remember that we would be as evil as our worst enemies if not for God’s grace.

5th Sunday After Pentecost 2023 We will always have both friends and enemies in this life.

18th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 “Pray the Rosary for peace…” This was the instruction of the Blessed Mother at Fatima.
