This week we focus on discipleship and commitment. Jesus invites us to move beyond simple understanding. The readings invite us to follow spiritual teachings faithfully in our everyday lives, embracing both the challenges and rewards that come with applying the spiritual teachings.

This week we focus on gratitude and thanksgiving. When we recognize God’s goodness and gifts in our lives, we develop a heart of gratitude that transforms how we see the world.

This week we focus on repentance and forgiveness. These twin spiritual practices open our hearts to God’s transforming grace and free us from burdens that weigh us down. As we acknowledge our own need for forgiveness, we also recognize our call to extend forgiveness to others.
