A New Beginning

Since this is the first time I'm doing this, let me start with a prayer. My prayer is that what I do here is for the greater honor and glory of God.

It is Sunday of the 13th week in the calendar of the church. The theme of the liturgy today is the Resurrection, the hope of eternal life. May the Good Lord bless us and grant us the strength to live our lives worthy of sharing in His Kingdom.

God Bless You.
