Maybe it’s 50, 100, 1,000, or 10,000. It doesn’t matter. One of the best chances you’ll have […]
Yesterday’s Gospel reading for the Holy Week Bridegroom Services included the following passage from the Gospel according to Saint Matthew: Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do […]
