A Message to a Beloved Daughter of God the Father


Dear Daughter in Christ,

Grace, peace, and love be with you from God our Father, who created you, loves you, and desires that you live in His truth and joy.

Though I do not know you personally, my heart has been moved by the heavenly Father to write to you. I believe it is He who placed this concern within me — not out of judgment, but out of love and care for you as His beloved daughter. When the Father stirs a heart to reach out, it is always to draw another soul closer to His light, to remind her that she is precious in His eyes and deeply loved.

I have heard that you are considering entering into a relationship that the world now calls “marriage,” yet this is not the kind of union that the Father of all creation has established or blessed. From the beginning, He revealed His perfect design, saying: “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness... male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:26–27). And again, “A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24).

This sacred union between man and woman reflects the Father’s own creative order and the mystery of His faithful, life-giving love. To step outside that divine pattern, no matter how sincere one’s emotions, is to move away from the Father’s will and peace. The Apostle Paul, led by the Holy Spirit, spoke of those who “exchanged the natural function for that which is against nature” (Romans 1:26), not to condemn them, but to reveal how turning away from the Creator’s truth leads to inner confusion and loss of joy.

But please know, my dear daughter, that the Father’s love for you has never changed. Even when His children stray, His heart continues to seek them, as He says: “Return to Me, for I have redeemed you” (Isaiah 44:22). His love is steadfast; His mercy is greater than our failings. He calls you back, not to shame you, but to restore you to the peace and dignity that come from walking in His truth.

You are His child — formed by His hands, known by His Spirit, and loved beyond measure. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to bring you home, to heal your heart, and to renew your life by the Holy Spirit. The world may promise freedom, but only the Father’s truth can give real freedom — the freedom of holiness, peace, and joy.

Please, my dear, do not take this step. Listen for the gentle voice of your Father, who still whispers, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness” (Jeremiah 31:3). His love is calling you home.

Turn to Him in prayer. Speak honestly from your heart. The Father is always near to those who seek Him in humility and truth. He will receive you with open arms, for He delights in every soul that returns to Him.

Though I do not know you personally, I hold you in my prayers, trusting that the Father who moved my heart to write will also move yours to listen. You are not forgotten. You are loved — eternally loved — by the Father of all compassion.

With the love of the Father and my prayers,

Pastoral Statement on the East Brunswick Tragedy

Image
With heavy hearts, we mourn the tragic event that took place in East Brunswick on   Friday, February 28, 2025 , where a wife lost her life at the hands of her husband. As a church, we extend our deepest   sympathies and condolences   to her family, loved ones, and all those affected by this heartbreaking act of violence. In this time of sorrow, we turn to the   comfort of God’s Word   and the hope found in Christ. 1. God Feels Our Grief and Will Redeem Creation In moments of deep sorrow, we take refuge in the truth that God sees our pain, hears our cries, and is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Though the world is marred by sin and violence, God is at work to redeem creation from its corruption (Romans 8:21-23). We hold onto the promise that Christ will return and make all things new, bringing justice, healing, and an end to suffering (Revelation 21:4-5). 2. The Church Condemns Domestic Violence and All Acts of Harm The Church...

The Eucharist: The Heart of Christian Unity - Preface of a New Book

Image
The prayer of the Lord Jesus in John 17:21 remains an urgent call to the Church today: “That they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.” The division among Christians stands in stark contrast to Christ’s desire for unity, and nowhere is this division more visible than at the Eucharistic table, where the Body and Blood of Christ should bring believers together as one.  The Eucharist: The Heart of the Christian Unity  The Eucharist has always been at the heart of Christian life and unity, serving as both a sign and source of communion with Christ and with one another. The earliest Christians gathered around the Eucharist, recognizing it as the fulfillment of God’s covenant and as a means of participating in the very life of Christ. The Church Fathers spoke of the Eucharist as the binding force of Christian unity, teaching that those who share in the one Bread and one Cup becom...

A Prayerful Message to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV: A Call for Eucharistic Unity

Image
With deep joy and reverence, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on his election as the 267th Bishop of Rome and Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Catholic Church. May the Lord Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd and Eternal High Priest, fill Your Holiness with divine wisdom, strength, and peace as you begin your sacred ministry of shepherding the Church in this pivotal time of history. At this moment of grace and renewal, I raise a humble and heartfelt appeal — that Your Holiness may stand united with all the Churches that confess the real presence of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist — His true Body and His true Blood — to work together toward the restoration of Eucharistic unity. This unity is not a mere symbol of agreement, but a faithful response to the prayer of Christ Himself: “That they may all be one, even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me” (John 17:21). The Euchari...
