As the holy and inspired Word of God, the Bible helps us to answer the deepest longings of our hearts. It teaches us that we were created in God\u2019s image (Gen. 1:27), and He loves us so much that no matter what we do, we can never escape His presence (Ps. 139:9-10). The Word of God teaches us that we are first and foremost defined by the Father\u2019s love for us; He is the one who gives us our identity and reveals to us the meaning of our lives.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>RECORDINGS<\/strong>\u00a0<\/mark><strong><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Please note, all funerals and Masses are recorded.
