     | 4,218 views

    "I believe that the secret lies in the way Jesus looked at people, seeing beyond their weaknesses and failings"

    Thursday of 15th Week in Course Wisdom is depicted as having a feminine nature; from that the Fathers of the Church applied much of what we read in the Book of Wisdom either to the Blessed Virgin Mary or to the Church. But that has more to do with linguistics than theology. In Greek, the word ...read more

    How are we to understand the New Testament? Are some of its instructions now irrelevant to us? Should we preach ourselves, our denomination, or popular opinion which contradicts the New Testament?

    Renewing Our Covenant With The Lord

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,673 views

    Christians need to be constantly recalled to their first love, and churches to the rudiments (first principles) of the faith of a better generation.

    RENEWING OUR COVENANT WITH THE LORD. Joshua 24:1-3; Joshua 24:14-25. The choice of Shechem as the site for the renewal of the covenant after the conquests under Joshua is significant. This was where the LORD had promised Abram both ‘this land’ and ‘a seed’ to occupy it, and Abram had ‘built ...read more

    Homily for Holy Saturday 2016 Our celebration of Tenebrae today puts us back into the second day, the day after Jesus’s death, Jesus’s one sacrifice on the Day that Changed the World. It is a day of reflection. The tabernacle in this chapel is empty. The Blessed Sacrament has been ...read more

    We can know Christ Jesus; but, the goal is to show His love and concern to the world around us.

    Know To Show – Ephesians 3: 14 - 21 Intro: When I was in junior high school, a friend told about speaking in tongues. He said there were people in his church who did that and wondered if there were such people in my church. I didn’t think there were so, when I got to high school I took French ...read more

    The Man Who Was Different

    Contributed by Grant Adams on May 19, 2021
     | 2,560 views

    The world was exceedingly wicked, and every imagination of the heart was only evil continually, but Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. As a result of his difference, he was the man of God used to save the world.

    Verses 5-7 give us as dark a picture of humanity as it is possible to paint. Verse 8 begins with a small conjunction…but it’s amazing how much meaning is conveyed in such a small conjunction. It means that Noah was not like those who were previously described. The world was exceedingly wicked, and ...read more

    How many people will be in Hell because we chose not to win them or told them that some sin we deemed unpardonable blocked them from coming to Him?

    2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,970 views

    Let go to go

    The Ascension marks the beginning of a new phase in Christ’s relationship to humanity, kind of a "spiritual presence of the absence“ for baptized believers. After all, “Christianity was founded upon the loss of a body,” writes the Jesuit historian Michel de Certeau, what he calls “an ...read more

    When God Says No

    Contributed by Brad Stone on Sep 19, 2020
     | 7,229 views

    We never like to accept a "No" answer in our life, especially in prayer, but the fact is that there are times God replies to us with a firm No because He wants to reveal to us a deeper plan.

    When we were children, we never liked hearing the word 'No' when we ask our parents for something. We felt as though our every wish should be granted. If you say otherwise, we can pray later. Frankly, as adults, we feel the same way. We do not like to be told no in regards to ...read more
