Do You Feel Insignificant?

How do we handle getting older and moving past our glory days? 

Fr. Mark-Mary reflects on the reality that every season of success and youth eventually fades. From modern celebrities to the kings of Scripture, no one escapes the passage of time. 

Rather than fearing or resisting this change, he encourages us to remember that we were made for eternity. Our true fulfillment isn't found in our best years on earth, but in Christ. 

The fullness of who we are will only be realized with Him in Heaven.
