A Message from Fr. Jince

“God calls each one of us to a path of vocation. You must be very open to receive His voice anytime, anywhere." “You can bring your pains and faults to God , who can always turn your wounds to grace if you submit them to His Holy Wound.”
“Each one of is called to be His face on this earth.” “Someimes life may become too dicsouraging. There may be days when you feel the absence of God. But always believe that His delay is not His denial. He is preparing something better for you. “
