Sunday – Ordinary Time – Week 26 – Year B

Sometimes Christ’s words are very strong, right? When we hear strong words, they make us wonder. If God loves us, why would he warn us with such vivid imagery? These shocking statements stop us in our tracks. But sometimes we need to stop, pray, and think. Sometimes we need strong words, and God knows this.

Welcome

Thank you for visiting my blog. Here I hope you will find things useful for our walk with the Lord. May we be transformed in the Father's love through his Word and his Spirit.
