Hello! Disappointment can make people defensive. As a result, we must find a way to channel it. The beginning of today's gospel describes Judas leaving the Last Supper while Jesus and the rest of the disciples remain. What was the cause? Judas is frustrated because Jesus knew what he would do next. According to Matthew's gospel, Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, which troubled Judas.

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers! We learn and mimic our mother's characteristics at a very early stage of life, one of which is her voice.

From the mysterious ways of life, we believe that God has instilled in them the instinct that they could communicate with their children to great lengths that she brings us to life and subsistence.Read More

Indeed, the name of the Jewish man they once tried to eradicate vexed their memories!Read More

It was a joyful Easter Sunday, and I hope you will experience the spirit of the Risen Christ every day! On Easter Sunday, as I was driving along the 60 freeway, I saw the parks were filled with people and their families camping and picnicking together. Their gatherings shared various aspects of life, supporting each other. We must recognize that the good influence of a collective system is intense. Whenever a group of people gathers together in a spirit of collaboration for the common good of others, the outcome is enormous.Read More
