Parish News: The Fourteenth Sunday and Week of the Year

When Jesus chooses not to heal in his home town because of their lack of faith, it shows us that healing in a more general sense only comes from our relationship with God. To have that relationship we need to believe in the one whom he sent to be born, die and rise for us – Jesus Christ.
