As a Church being sent by Jesus, we become vulnerable to many things as we step out from our comfort zones to reach out to people in need. In our task of building bridges and dialogue, we become susceptible to ways and situations which we may consider to be uncomfortable with but it is when we are vulnerable that God can truly work in us and through us. Fulfilling this mission entrusted to us is a fulfillment of our love and service to God.Read More -

The celebration of this solemnity of the two great saints reminds us of our mission and action in the Church despite of our limitations and weaknesses. St. Peter denied Jesus yet he was able to confirm his love and faithfulness and became the symbol of unity and stability of the Church. St. Paul was a persecutor of Christians, yet he became the symbol of mission an evangelization of the Church. They were ordinary men called to do extraordinary mission. We too, in our ordinariness as living stones of the Church can do extraordinary mission and continue the work of evangelization in ways that we may never had imagined.Read More -
June 26Giáo hội mừng kính hai Thánh Tông đồ, hai cột trụ Giáo hội cùng chung một ngày. Hai con người khác nhau từ cá tính đến thân thế nhưng có rất nhiều cái chung: Cùng chung một ơn gọi từ Chúa Kitô, cùng chung một niềm tin vào Chúa Kitô, cùng chung một sứ mạng Chúa Kitô trao phó, và cuối đời cùng chịu tử đạo vì Chúa Kitô tại Roma. Cả hai Ngài cùng chia sẻ một niềm tin, cùng thi hành một sứ mạng. Chúa Kitô đã đưa hai Ngài đến một cùng đích, một vinh quang đội triều thiên khải hoàn, cùng trở thành nền móng xây toà nhà Giáo hội, cùng trở nên biểu tượng hiên ngang của niềm tin Công Giáo. Hai Thánh Tông Đồ được Giáo hội mừng chung vào một ngày lễ 29 tháng 6.Read More

In the midst of our fear and the uncertainty of many things including perhaps our future, Jesus reminds us to take courage, have faith, and feel the Shalom of God. St. Paul reminds us of his letter to the Romans 8:31, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Trusting the Shalom of God does not mean, however, that everything will change into better circumstances of life. Having the Shalom would assure us rather, that we will endure the sufferings and hardships, still feeling at peace in the midst of difficult situations. That was Christ’s assurance to His disciples and still His assurance to all of us. SHALOM!Read More
