Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you,
there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters
or mother or father or children or lands
for my sake and for the sake of the gospel
who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age:
houses and brothers and sisters
and mothers and children and lands,
with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come."
Mk 10:17-30

“A great prayer for life is needed, a prayer that will rise up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and lover of life, from every Christian community, every group and association, from every family, and from the heart of every believer.” Pope St. John Paul II, Evangelium vitae, 100 |
“Open yourselves to God’s mercy! God says: "Have no fear.
You are mine. Your sins can never diminish your worth.”
Pope Francis, July 2016
Our Lady of Fatima - 105 Years
Jesus wishes to make use of you to make Me known and loved.
He wants to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart.
To whoever embraces this devotion I promise salvation; these souls shall be dear to God,
as flowers placed by Me to adorn His throne.
Do you suffer a great deal? Don't lose heart. I will never forsake you.
My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.
Our Lady of Fatima
