Matthew 11: 20 -24 As human beings, at times we cannot but compare ourselves with others. Why do they have such a nice house? Where did they get all their money? Look at her, beauty, and brains. Why is she so popular and the favorite of the boss? When we compare ourselves to others, many…

God First
If there is one thing that Jesus always taught, it is about peace. He told his listeners if you’re going to make an offering and you and your brother are not on good terms, leave the offering first and settle with your brother first. He also said, instead of an eye for an eye, a…
St Therese of the Child Jesus
One thing beautiful about Children is how they trust their parents. I was once in a boat and the ride became very turbulent. The waves were high, the winds were strong and water was getting into the boat. The two children in front of us began to cry. What their parents did was to simply…
Taking Advantage
John 2:13-22 Whenever we read the Gospel, we realize that Jesus, who is 100 percent God and 100 percent human, has a soft spot for the poor and the sinner.

Relationships

Children during the time of Jesus were treated as second class citizens. Hence, they were closest to the heart of Jesus. That is why he scolded his apostles for…
The World Needs God
Sister Lucia dos Santos, one of the three children who witnessed the Marian apparitions at Fatima, died in 2005. Before her death, she predicted that the final battle between Christ and Satan would be over marriage and the family. Indeed, this is what is happening nowadays and it is called DEATH. DEATH is an acronym…
Fault Finder
Once, there was an experiment made. A white sheet of paper with a small block dot in the center. When people were asked “What do they see?” the most popular answer was the “black dot.” Not the white sheet of paper, but the small black dot. We human beings are not perfect. We have all…
