2025-02-04

No matter what you’ve done, God’s mercy is greater. In this powerful reflection, Fr. Hollowell reminds us that our sins—no matter how grievous—are never insurmountable for God. Like Peter, who fell at Christ’s feet in recognition of his own sinfulness, we are called to trust in God’s grace rather than believe the lies that tell us we are unworthy. 📖 Be not afraid! God loves you and wants to work through your brokenness to bring others to Him. Watch, reflect, and share this message of hope and redemption
