from Fr Satheesh

Dear Parishioners, Jesus' time in the wilderness can be seen as a model for how we can confront challenges and temptation in our own lives. Like Jesus, we are called to resist the lure of worldly desires and remember that true sustenance comes not from material things, but from God. Jesus' steadfastness teaches us to priorities our relationship with God and resist the urge to put Him to the test by trying and change circumstances for our benefit. As we reflect on this passage, let it inspire us to seek God's guidance in times of trial, knowing that the Spirit will lead us, just as it led Jesus. The wilderness becomes a place where, through struggle, we grow stronger in our faith and reliance on God's word. It was wonderful to have families and parishioners at our parish picnic last Sunday. We appreciate those who came and attended. Thank you to the teachers and youth group who were there to assist with cooking and games. My gratitude to Susanne Bragge and the Parish tea...
