Each of us has a responsibility to live the truth we hear in the Gospel. If we who have heard the Gospel do not live it, we will be held accountable for the lives of those who have never heard it. Let us pray for men and women to take up the call to devote […]

We all want to celebrate the gift of salvation that comes through Jesus. It seems reasonable to me that since Mary is the mother of Jesus, we should honor her obedience to God’s call and thus see in her life the example of everything a disciple of Jesus should be. She is the first and […]

The place of Jesus’ birth does not look promising. Yet, look at what the life of a babe born in a manger accomplishes. If such a transition is possible for Jesus as a result of His Father’s will, then we should never doubt that the Lord has big things in store for each of us […]

What more can I say other what the author has already said? He is adamant that we all ought to bow our knees and bend our heads to honor the Lord, our God. He is right. The best way we honor the Lord is by living according to His plan and promoting the Gospel with […]
