REFLECTION
In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that he has not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it by leading us beyond mere rule-keeping to a true conversion of heart. Outward conformity is not enough. God desires an interior freedom rooted in love. While the struggle to live faithfully is real, God does not ask for perfection, but for trust. When we know ourselves as beloved, we are freed to choose wisdom, to love generously, and to live fully alive. After all as St. Irenaeus teaches, the glory of God is the human person fully alive.
office of vocations
“No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him.”
If you feel you are being invited to spread the Good News of God’s love as a priest, deacon, brother or sister, contact Fr. Matt McCarthy, Director of Vocations, Archdiocese of Toronto.

BEFORE YOU FIX YOUR WEDDING DATE
Thinking about doing your wedding in the Church? Great move! The way to go is to call the parish office and schedule an appointment with the priest at least 12 months before your desired wedding date. It is a requirement in the Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto.
Hoping for the best for you as you process and make this important life-long decision
DID YOU KNOW
| According to today's Gospel, Jesus isn’t just interested in whether we follow the rules, but in whether our hearts are being transformed from the inside out? | |
| For Jesus, anger, contempt, and grudges can damage relationships just as deeply as outward actions? | |
| Jesus calls us His followers to integrity so deep that our “yes” truly means yes, even when no one is watching? |
