     | 1,712 views

    The fundamental problem of humanity never hits the headlines, never comes as a blast e-mail to our computers. But we know what it is.

    Christmas 2018 “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

    December 20 Pre-Christmas Novena The richness of today’s Scripture lessons cannot be exaggerated. There is so much here that literally books have been written about two passages.

    Feast of St. Lucy 2018 The constant temptation human beings face is to turn God’s intention for man upside down.
