Sunday's Homily Excerpt -
The main message I want you to hear, as we journey toward the empty tomb of Jesus together, the main thing I want you take away from today, is to know, to really know deep down in your heart or as Fr. Thomas Hopko used to say, deep down in your gut, is that Your sins are forgiven. Your sins are forgiven because Jesus, the Son of Man has power to forgive sins...” - Dn. Joseph Ray, March 8, 2026-
