Two new reflections from Steve Hall & Lou Occhi
To love God even if it means our death
The Father’s will is to love. To love God above all.
By Steve Hall

Click here to read Steve Hall's reflection from June 3, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
Most of us are not and will not be faced with the life-or-death choice of living without God or dying with God. It’s not going to be love God and die. Rather, we’re faced with the more difficult choice — the one that commands us to love God and live. Live the love of God in a world that does not love God.
Steve Hall's reflections: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9)
Original Sin and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil
The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil you shall not eat
By Lou Occhi
Click here to read Lou Occhi's reflection from June 3, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
Jesus, the fruit of Mary’s womb, like the fruit in the Garden of Eden, would eventually be crushed for our sins and hung back on a tree. Thus, we have a perfect bookend to the first era of humankind and the beginning of a new era with the gates of Heaven now reopened.
Lou Occhi’s reflections: "The Almighty has done great things for me, And Holy is His name." (The Magnificat)
