Weekly Reflection

The Most Holy Trinity

05-31-2026 | Fr. Jess Ty

Dear Family of God,

I want to share with you again a homily entitled TRUTH PRECEDES LOVE by Msgr. Charles Pope, given in 2020: “One of the problems with modern Western culture is the tendency to prioritize feelings and emotions over truth and reason. This has infected the Church as well; not offending often takes precedence over the unambiguous teaching of doctrine and the truth of the faith.”
