Bishop LeGatt - Christ's Hope in a Chaotic World

The striking political and economic instability in our world today could cause us significant anxiety and distress. This week, Archbishop Albert reflects on the importance of finding our rest and hope in the Lord, especially through intentionally fostering connections with those around us. Truly, in the face of the evil in our world, the love and support we show one another allow Christ’s love and hope to reign and shine His light, a remedy to our world’s pain.
