Fr. Bob's Weekly Reflections
It is said that the only person who can hurt us is someone we love and the deeper the love the worse the hurt. A total stranger can hurt us physically but only someone we love – a trusted friend can injure us emotionally.

Fr. Bob's Weekly Reflections
Not many people are honest enough or brave enough to ask the question in today’s Gospel. Just think about you asking some friend or perhaps, more courageously, some enemy – Who do you say that I am….
