What a God!

There is no other God like you, O Lord; you forgive the sins of your people who have survived. You do not stay angry for ever, but you take pleasure in showing us your constant love. You will be merciful to us once again. You will trample our sins underfoot and send them to the… Read more

Hating sin but not the sinner

But you, my friends, keep on building yourselves up on your most sacred faith. Pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and keep yourselves in the love of God, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy to give you eternal life. Show mercy towards those who have doubts; save others… Read more

Where is Jesus?

So they entered the tomb, where they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a white robe – and they were alarmed. ‘Don’t be alarmed,’ he said. ‘I know you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is not here – he has been raised! Look here is the place… Read more
