    • "Sometimes it seems as if we are surrounded by a sea of fog comprised of contrary circumstances, difficulties and challenges, for such can be the weather of this life. But there is good news in that with Christ it matters not what we see, but rather what we believe, for when our trust is in Him, He will make a way, and the way He makes will not fail." Brother Giacomo

      • 'Imagine, for just a moment, that the Bible is true. Now imagine standing before God at the end of your life having never entered into relationship with Him and with no way of amending your past. I suggest that you don't allow it to come to that, but that you embrace God's own advice spoken through the prophet Isaiah when He said "Seek me while I may be found and call upon me while I am yet near." I humbly submit that this is the wisest decision you will ever make.' — Frate Sebastiano

            • "God gave us freewill, including the freedom to reject Him, which many in ignorance and apathy, sadly do. But I encourage you to be among the few who make the journey to discover whether He really is who the Scriptures declare Him to be. Why you might ask? Well, that is easy to answer; because when you discover Him, you will have found the One loves you like no other." Brother Giacomo

When the rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew, his house did not fall, for it was founded upon the rock." And I encourage you to do likewise and to build your life upon the solid rock who is Jesus Christ.' Brother Giacomo

Today, the God who gave you breath, wants you know that you may invite Him to accompany you through these seasons, and I encourage you to consider this offer, because inviting God to be a part of your life, changes everything."

Regarding His acceptance of you, this was resolved some two-thousand years ago upon the cross of Calvary." Frate Giacomo

The good news is that even though we are undeserving, God is faithful and will answer, and this He does because of His incredible love for us." Frate Sebastiano
