Where Is Our Peace?
By Kathy Lamb
This morning Father Adam reminded us that Jesus, the King of Peace, promised us peace. Father asked, “So how come we don’t have it?” He continued, “We all suffer. Mary and Joseph suffered.

Loaves and Fishes Revisited: Honest Protestantism does not Give Spiritual Peace
By Scott Pauline
Four times in the Gospels, Christ fed the people with five loaves and two fish. In another passage, he says unto his disciples, what father would give his child a stone if he asked for bread, or a serpent if asked for a fish? A scorpion for an egg? How much more will the good Father in heaven give you the Spirit if you ask.

Did the Gifts of the Spirit Disappear?
Did the Gifts of the Spirit Disappear?
By Mike Bugal
In the Book of Acts from the birth of the Church onward we see certain miraculous events occur. On the Day of Pentecost, the Disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in other tongues. There are various accounts in Acts of healings occurring by the Apostles via many different means. Saint Paul took three whole chapters of his first letter to the Corinthians to address the subject.

The land was probably no more than ten feet by twenty feet in size, covered with patio stones, filled with extra chairs in one corner,

The Essence of the Prayer of Jesus
The Essence of the Prayer of Jesus
By David Torkington
The essence of the prayer of Jesus entailed dedicating every moment of every day to loving God with every part and with every fiber of his being (Lk 2:29. Jn 4:34).
