Sometimes, to get to a particular destination, there are some rocky roads that we have to traverse. There is nothing that we can do about this. A wise person knows this and has the patience to endure the difficulties, knowing that there will be an end to them if he just waits. It is not […]

Some of the things that Jesus said in His mission were quite inflammatory. Did Jesus want to be provocative? Quite unlikely, but one thing is sure. He was not willing to compromise the truth so He always spoke it as He saw it. The Church knows what doing this means and how the intellectuals of […]

Some people come to faith in God through a relatively easy path; others by the torturous path of the road less traveled. It does not really matter which path we take; what matters is that we have traveled a path and reached our destination of becoming a disciple of Jesus. It is not for us […]

God’s Word is life. Only a fool rejects it. There must be a lot of fools, or at least half-fools in the world. Why do people take some of the truth of the Gospel and not the whole thing? It is not logical. Either we believe God knows what He is doing when He directs […]

In her song of praise to the Lord, Mary extols His goodness, mercy and kindness, particularly to the poor and the helpless.
