ESPRESSO SHOT: Winning As Many Souls as Possible
by Father Brian J. Soliven on Tuesday September 2, 2025
In his letter to the Thessalonians, St. Paul urges, “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing” (1 Thessalonians 5:11). In these words, we’re reminded that the Christian journey is not one we walk alone. God has placed us in community so that we may strengthen one another in faith, hope, and love. To build each other up in Christ is to speak truth with grace, to lift the weary, and to celebrate the work of God in each life. When we encourage one another, we reflect the heart of Christ—who never leaves, never forsakes, and always restores.
