Reflections from the Heart – May 4, 2025

Third Sunday of Easterby Fr. Ivan Olmo None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” I think how often our person, our identity, the very source of our being, who we really are, is so often misunderstood, questioned, attacked and quite simply...

Reflections from the Heart – April 27, 2025

Divine Mercy Sundayby Fr. Ivan Olmo “Write on a scroll what you see.” Do you have a journal? If so, do you use it or is it like one of those many books or apps you have or obtained that just sit idle waiting, hoping for that one day for you to open it and use it?...

Reflections from the Heart – April 20, 2025

Reflections from the Heart – March 23, 2025

Third Sunday of Lentby Fr. Ivan Olmo “Whoever thinks he is standing secure should take care not to fall.” Sometimes our vision is off. Way off. We fail to see things clearly, accurately. We fail to visualize things as they really are. Perhaps our eyesight has double...

Reflections from the heart – March 16, 2025

Second Sunday of Lentby Fr. Ivan Olmo “Look up at the sky and count the stars, if you can.” Away from the noisy busy sounds of the metropolitan cities. Far, far away from the distortion and overshadowing of noisy light pollution, are places in our small tiny world...

Reflections from the Heart – March 9, 2025

First Sunday of Lentby Fr. Ivan Olmo “For to his angels he has given command about you, that they guard you in all your ways.” Would you consider yourself self-directed or spiritually directed? It is an important point and question to consider for your own happiness...
