     | 3,761 views

    It’s so important that ordinary Catholics read Scripture as a devotional inquiry which the Catholic Catechism calls “the intimate sense of spiritual realities which believers experience.”

    A foolish old farmer, so the story goes, concluded one day that the oats he had fed his mule for years were simply costing him too much. So, he hatched a plan: He mixed a little sawdust in with the feed, and then a little more the next day, and even more the next, each time reducing the amount of ...read more

    Several times the sparrow flew at the closed window and smacked itself into it, until it got so weak it could no longer fly; it only could walk.

    Pastor Don Friesen tells a fascinating story about a sparrow that somehow got into the rafters of St. Helen’s Parish Church in the English town of Brant Broughton. At the time of the intrusion, they were recording a guitar recital for later broadcast on the radio. The chirping bird didn’t exactly ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 8, 2025
     | 287 views

    Jesus is coming for you when he is ready, not when you get ready.

    Our Gospel parable today of the Supervising Servant tells us that everybody has a day when we will be judged immediately after death, but the day and time is unspecified, and so Jesus is giving a series of admonitions saying to be prepared and vigilant. Jesus probably delivered the parable as a ...read more

    When I was a young boy; My mama said to me; “There’s only one girl in the world for you; And she probably lives in Tahiti.”

    Marriage requires 4 types of "RINGS”:1 The Engagement Ring: The idea of Soulmates was first written about by a Greek playwright, the ancient equivalent of Hollywood.1 It’s a made-up romantic term meaning that there is only one person whom you are spiritually destined to marry. “Those ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,289 views

    Someone has said that this is the only prayer in the Bible addressed to a saint that was not answered.

    We heard today from Luke 16:21, which says “Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.” Admittedly, the grammatical construction in the Greek can be translated as “worst of all" dogs would lick his sores. However, the ancients knew when a dog licks a person's sores or wounds, healing ...read more
