Jesus said that only God knows the day and hour of these events. Jesus challenges His disciples to see the end times through God's eyes. These things will happen in God's time, not ours. The teaching of Jesus challenges us to trust God with the future. Anxiety and paranoia are futile responses to a situation that requires faith.

What makes you anxious about the future? How can God help you with your anxieties this week? ... See MoreSee Less

In the Beatitudes, Jesus Himself proclaimed the Kingdom as the home of the poor. Throughout the centuries, many faithful have served the less fortunate. Today, we, as Christians, are called to share time, talent, and treasure with those who cannot speak for themselves. In fact, our call as Christians demands we share.

The corporal works of mercy (feeding the sick, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, visiting the imprisoned and the sick, burying the dead) should be at the forefront of Christian activity, not an afterthought. How can you serve the poor and the less fortunate in gratitude this week? ... See MoreSee Less

Saturday Silly

There was a faithful elderly woman who lived in a duplex. Her next door neighbor was an angry atheist. He could hear the elderly woman praying everyday and he hated it.

One day he heard her praying that she had no food and no money. So he went to the store and bought her a week's worth of groceries. He said to himself "this will prove there is no God because I did all the shopping!"

When he showed up at her doorstep with food she praised the Lord "thank you God for answering my prayers!" And the atheist said "God didn't do it I did!!" And she praised God again saying "and you made your hater pay for it!" ... See MoreSee Less

The Catholic Church dedicates the entire month of November to praying in a special way for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The Holy Souls (also called the Faithful Departed) are members of the Church who await the purification of their souls before joining the saints in Heaven for all eternity. Specifically, they are referred to as the Church Suffering (the saints in Heaven are the Church Triumphant, and the faithful on earth are the Church Militant).The poor souls in Purgatory cannot pray for themselves or do anything to hasten their entrance into Heaven, but we can and ought to pray for them as an act of charity. ...

Christianity has always used the "Great Commandment" as a lens to view the Ten Commandments. The first three commandments fulfill the love of God. The last seven fulfill the love of neighbor. Living out the Great Commandment fulfills the Law (see Romans 13:9-10).

But, the command to love demands more. To love God requires God's help. It requires an openness to the Spirit. We cannot possibly live out God's Law by ourselves. With His help, we can hope and we can experience results. ... See MoreSee Less
