REFLECTION - What does it truly mean for a loved one to "rest in peace"? Mary Jane Fox explores the Church's deep reverence for the human body and how our prayers can lovingly help those who have passed away as they prepare for eternal life with God.

REFLECTION - Have you ever wondered if there’s a “right” way to pray, or if God is really hearing you? Deacon Tom Fox explores how true prayer begins with trust in God’s timing, showing that through daily prayer, faith, and humility, we open our hearts to the grace that leads to lasting peace and eternal joy.

REFLECTION - Do we give God time to work in our lives, or are we always hurrying for quick results? Angela Sealana shares how slowing down and being patient helps us notice God’s love in everyday life.

REFLECTION - What if your struggles are part of God’s plan to bring you something good? Deacon Tom shares how loving God, even during hard times, can fill your life with peace, joy, and unshakable hope.
