The World's Greatest Secret
The World's Greatest Secret
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
We Christians are privy to the world’s greatest secret – a “secret that for ages past was kept hidden in God” (Eph 3:9). Paul tells the Colossians that “this secret which has been kept hidden for ages and generations is now disclosed to the saints [believers]” (Col 1:26), but he reminds the Romans that it was veiled in prophecies of ages past (see Romans 1:2, 16:26).

Day 339 – The One Hundred and Forty Four Thousand
Day 339 – The One Hundred and Forty Four Thousand
By David Vermont
The one hundred and forty-four thousand is a symbol or perfection as it is twelve times twelve times one-thousand.

Here perfection simply implies the finishing of the task.

What is the greatest single act a human can perform? Saints and theologians tell us that an act of love of God is the greatest and most perfect action anyone could ever aspire to, either in heaven or on earth. A single act of agape love immediately restores or deepens the soul’s mysterious union with God (see John 14:23).

The Problem With Gender 'Identity'
By Tony Jesse

Social Yet Private Is It Time To MeWe?
Social Yet Private Is It Time To MeWe?
By Birgit Jones
Stories about the corruption of social media giant, Facebook, are coming in at an increasingly faster pace. Apparently, not only is our privacy at risk, but we are being manipulated and targeted. There are accusations surrounding the election cycle, mind games, and total betrayal - all in the name of socializing. It may well be time to take another path - or at least a supplemental one.

Humility – Love's "Test by Fire"
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
We too may need to linger over this first lesson in order to introject humility into our love. “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.” (Lk 22:33) – the apostle was chastened by his failure to live up to this boast. (We can only imagine what his thoughts must have been when he later heard Jesus prophesy his martyrdom – see Jn 21:19).
