Fr. Jose – Parish Priest

---

Dear family members and friends: “Today’s Gospel brings to us two important ministries of Jesus. First one is the beginning of His preaching saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The most important mission of Jesus was to open the kingdom of heaven for the mankind. He preaches that the means to enter the kingdom of heaven is to repent since no one with any evil will be able to enter the kingdom. Secondly, Jesus calls the first disciples to follow him. It is interesting that they left everything and followed Him. Together with them Jesus continues the ministry of preaching and also healing many people of their afflictions. Let us also follow Him to enter the kingdom of heaven, to be healed of any afflictions and also to be with him proclaiming the kingdom of heaven through our lives. Amen.
