All of us, at one time or another, have struggled either spiritually, emotionally or physically, and this affects our mental health. Mental health actually means the ability for our minds to grasp the truth as it actually is. This is where our faith comes in. Father Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, explains how we can use Jesus as the perfect model for strong mental health.

Fr. Andy reads from Luke 2:22-40, the Gospel reading for Sunday, February 2, 2025.

Fr. Gabe Cillo offers a heartfelt reflection on the sacred duty of fathers and elders to lead their families in faith, prayer, and devotion. Drawing from the story of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31), he reminds us that spiritual poverty — the refusal to listen to God — is more tragic than material lack. “If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead,” says the Lord. When we ignore Scripture, we reject the very voice of God.
