Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

The Martyrdom Of St. Thomas, the Apostle (June 3, 2024 / Bashons 26, 1740)

 

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Then He said, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.”

Mark 4:30-32
