32ND SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME (YEAR C)
Life never ends but is transformed into greater communion/friendship with Christ, says the Archbshp, Most Rev. Valerian Okeke. Assured of this, he challenges us towards unconquerable faith expressed in steadfastness especially in times of trials. This faith gives us hope to keep trusting in God who will never abandon us and also disposes us to witness to Christ no matter the cost.
