How We All Can Be Instruments of Healing
By Katie Zalany
About a month and a half ago, I attended a healing prayer service with a friend of mine.

I FOUND IT!!!
I FOUND IT!!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
Rather--God led me to find it! For three days I searched high and low, under and in between---well everywhere for my MP3 player that had my favorite music to listen to recorded on it. It has been the mover and the groover, the pusher when I need pushing: music coming to my ears over that player as I exercise.

Saint Abel the Just; His was the first recorded death in Human History; Feast Day, January 3
By Larry Peterson
The holy people from the Old Testament are not usually called saints. We do not say, “St. Abraham”, or “St. Moses” as we do for St. Joseph or St John. But the Church does allow for them to be called saints one day during the year. That day is their acknowledged feast day. There are forty-two different Old Testament saints that have designated feast days.
