Welcome
THE WORDS OF POPE LEO XIV:
“In our lives, both individually and as a Church, interior struggles or circumstances we deem unfavorable can lead us to believe that it is not the right time to proclaim the Gospel, to make a decision, to make a choice, or to change a situation. In this way, however, we risk becoming paralyzed by indecision or imprisoned by excessive prudence, whereas the Gospel calls us to dare to trust. God is at work at all times; every moment is ‘God’s time,’ even when we do not feel ready or when the situation seems unfavorable.” (Sunday Angelus – January 25, 2026)
