Contributed by Colin Coombs on Nov 24, 2007

A pre Christmas preparation, and encouragement to see ’The Gift’ rather than the gifts!

The Gift Of Christmas

Contributed by Derrick Thompson, Sr. on Dec 26, 2004

It seems that somehow we have lost the focus as to whose birthday we are celebrating, and it seems the focus of Christmas has been lost in the giving and receiving of gifts.

The Gift Of Silence

Contributed by Fr. Damien Evangelista on Apr 2, 2020

The world doesn't value silence, but making time to be silent is crucial for psychological and spiritual health.

Silence is essential for growth in the spiritual life. For instance, since God is omnipotent, we'd expect that he'd speak to Elijah through a strong driving wind or an earthquake as found in our first reading (1 Kg 18, 15-45). Instead, we find that Elijah comes out of hiding from the ...read more

The Gift Of The Gospel

Contributed by James Maroney on Feb 28, 2014

The Gospel is the GREATEST gift we could give any human being. That being said, it is important that ministry, and saints alike, learn that the spreading of that gospel is not giving people what they WANT to hear, but what they NEED to hear.
