Who is Jesus

Ditch the Resolution – Focus on This Instead

by Fr. Mark Mary

“Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” He (Jesus) woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, “Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?” - Mark 4:38-40

As we start the New Year, Fr. Mark-Mary's resolution for you is to have this question answered: Jesus, do you care if I perish?

Fr. Mark-Mary reminds us that just as Jesus was in the boat with the disciples, He is with all of us through every moment of our lives. Jesus loves you. There is nothing He cares about more than you. Will you accept the gift of His love this year?
