#SV – The Marketplace
Friends, once the faith is reduced to transaction, whether of miracles, power or money, then we have succeeded in creating false gods or idols since these replace the priority that we ought to give to God above every other thing.

Sin takes us to the lowest points. Disobedience to God is sin.

#SV – To the Brokenhearted
Friends in Christ, The Lord is here. Let us seek him in silence, in prayers, and in the Holy Eucharist. He alone knows what we feel and how we feel. He alone understands the depth of our wounds and the degree of our brokenness. He alone has the power to fix us up, to patch up our shattered pieces, to restore us to wholeness.
