"This is our mission - to be a new man and a child of God. Simeon and the Virgin Mary have in their hands the baby Jesus - they represent the Church that is bringing Jesus to the nations, to this world that is hungry for God, hungry for the Light and for the Truth. And the devil never stops proclaiming his lies and he lies always to these people. Jesus is the Truth and we know how difficult it is sometimes to accept the truth about ourselves. It is difficult to see who we are and what we are, and to say in humility: “I am a sinner.”Read More

I have been asked by many of my parishioners about the need to confess their sins, questions like, "What must I say when I come to confession? What do I have to confess? Of what I believe I do wrong, are some of them really sins? What is the definition of a grave sin? What is a venial sin? When and how often do I have to go to confession?” With those questions in mind, this article is the first in a series through which I will provide important answers to important questions in the field of moral theology and bioethics based on the teaching of the Catholic Church.

As Christians, believing in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we should realize that those who are deceased are with us and are part of our church in the same way as those who live on this earth. And so we do not pray only for them, but they are also praying for us. As someone asks their friends for prayer and at the same time he prays for them, also we pray for one another without any concern that we are separated by death.Read More -
"God created human beings for great desires. If we are not seeing the necessity to be loved by God then we are not changed. In my pastoral letter at the beginning of the Church Year, I invited everyone to frequent confession. We need to have this experience of forgiveness. Many times you are not able to forgive, to forgive your husband, your wife, your children, your boss at work, your teacher, your priest, your bishop. If we lack the experience of forgiveness and being forgiven, we will always be unhappy human beings.”Read More
