2-01 I Shall Wear A Crown! Claiming the Corona of Christ
Fr. R. Tony Ricard
For the past two years, we have lived in fear of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 Pandemic. However, Revelation 2:10 says, “Do not be afraid of anything that you are going to suffer..... Remain faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Since a corona is just a crown, we know that the Corona of Christ is greater than any coronavirus! The Quality of our Crowns in Heaven will be determined by how we chose to wear our Crowns on Earth. This workshop will help you define and refine your Coronas of Christ!
