Peace of Mind
Peace of Mind
By Crysaly Aviles
I have a peace that surpasses all understanding because my mind is on Christ, (Phil. 4:7). There are moments in life when circumstances seem so overwhelming, but in Christ we are not to worry about these things because they truly are out of our control. “If even the smallest things are beyond your control, why are you anxious about the rest?” (Luke 12:26). God wants us at ease in all circumstances

Stay Awake, Be Ready
Stay Awake, Be Ready
By Nancy Marie Murray
Another day, another news report, another attack on Christians. This time, at a sleepy little backroad Baptist Church in Texas, defenseless families - women, children and elderly - were mercilessly shot down in cold blood by a self-proclaimed atheist.

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A
32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A
By Fr. Andrew Kooi
Are successful businessmen considered wise? What about university professors? Are they considered wise? If a person has a PhD or some Academic Doctorate in some area of specialisation, is that person considered wise? It seems as if many of us have equated wisdom with knowledge, intelligence and good business acumen.

Reiging in a Parking Lot
Reiging in a Parking Lot
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
It is the largest and most complex crypt ever discovered; it entombed about 50 sons of the 150 children that Rameses' concubines bore him while he reigned unrivaled as the pharaoh that confronted Moses in Egypt over 3,200 years ago. It seemed almost like God's last laugh at the arrogant ruler in allowing this recently discovered mausoleum to be unearthed during the construction of a parking lot.

Day 187 – Jesus the New Adam
By David Vermont
In today’s reading Paul unequivocally identifies Jesus as the new Adam. An understanding of the implications of this revelation is foundational to understanding salvation history, the gospel, and systematic theology.

From Toy Town with Love
From Toy Town with Love
By David Torkington
When I was a boy I used to call people by what they did. My older brothers used to laugh when I said I had seen Mr Postman, Mr Builder, Mr Plumber or Mr Dustman. I suppose the idea came from my favourite radio program 'Toy Town'. Everybody was called by what they did. It was Mr Mayor, Mr Policeman, Mr Inventor, Mr Magician and even Mr Grouser!

Be Prepared for the Most Important Day
Be Prepared for the Most Important Day
By Bill Dunn
In this week’s gospel reading at Mass, Jesus offered a parable about being prepared. He used a wedding feast to symbolize Heaven, and a bridegroom to symbolize Himself. No one knew when the bridegroom would arrive and begin the feast. Half the people were ready; the other half were not.

inoculated with Love
inoculated with Love
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
University researchers have found repeatedly that persons who engage in charitable works have above-average resistance to colds and flu. And expanding compassion improves one's disease immunity. Even witnessing other's acts of compassion will increase one's store of immunoglobulin E, thus raising one's immunity to diesase.

Day 186 – Beneficiaries of the Promise Made to Abraham
Day 186 – Beneficiaries of the Promise Made to Abraham
By David Vermont
Today, Paul repeatedly makes the point that Abraham was justified by his faith in God and not the works he did. This is another verse that is often used by Protestants in the eternal faith v. works debate. However, that is not Paul’s purpose in focusing on this issue. He just told us in the last chapter that we are justified by a gift of grace from God. So why is Paul repeatedly making this po

Prediction with Conviction
Prediction with Conviction
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
St. Paul offers a wake-up call to those who are unconcerned about the reality of life after death: "If only for this life we have hope...we are to be pitied more than all men" (1 Cor 15:19). All of our hardships, trials, persecutions, adversities, and pains would be utterly meaningless if they had no relationship to an afterlife.

Day 185 – Before and After Christ
Day 185 – Before and After Christ
By David Vermont
In today’s reading Paul cites several Old Testament passages. These passages are often referenced by Protestants to critique Catholic teachings on the sinlessness of Mary, the role of works in salvation, grace, and free will. However, a close look at these verses shows that Paul isn’t doing any such thing.

Day 184 – Confession and Example
Day 184 – Confession and Example
By David Vermont
Today we read Romans 2. At the end of Chapter 1, Paul told his readers that people who fall into persistent sin might be left to their own choices by God. Paul tells the readers that by not speaking out against sin a person can fall into error by allowing it to appear as though they approve of those who engaged in sin.
