Treasures of Our Faith with Deacon Richard VehigeBe shepherds like the LordOn Thursday of the First Week of Lent our Church invites us to first read and reflect on a passage from the book of Exodus (12:1-20) entitled “The Passover and the unleavened bread”. Our treasure, which follows, is from a homily by Saint Asterius of Amasea, bishop. Saint Asterius of Amasea, bishop and preacher, was born in Cappadocia in 350.
