Because Jesus is the way to life, he has the right to demand that our relationship with him be to most important relationship in our lives

Through the Eucharist, Jesus invites us to intimate communion with him. We must humbly acknowledge that spiritually we are the blind, the crippled, the poor who are invited to his table.

Going to heaven is not guaranteed. God desires the salvation of all, but we must respond in a way that allows us to be saved

Mary who carried the God-man within her, is our model for hearing God's Word and living that word

Those who long for the glory of heaven are the ones who model faith for us.
