Noticias Re"Mark"ados (anuncios en español) Invest In Hope: When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, Jesus said, “As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down.” Luke 21:5-6 Jesus’ words remind us how easy it is to take confidence in things that will not last. Instead, he invites us to invest in eternal things, like love, care for another, generosity, mutual support, acceptance.

If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again.
