Seeing your Life through the Lens of the Gospel
Luke’s skill as a storyteller comes through in the details of the story in a way with which many people can identify: the loss of a child, the frantic search, the seemingly offhand speech of the teenager. Let the drama of the story speak to you. Where do you find good news in it?
Wishing you God’s blessings For a Happy New Year Fr Dariusz and Deacon Peter
