There is a saying, without a mother, there is no life. It is the mother’s womb that takes care of us for nine months and throughout our lives, the mother continues to care for us. Even if we reach 50, 60 or even 70 years old, in the eyes of a mother, we are still…

The Harvest is Great, the Laborers Few
Matthew 9:32-38 When one goes through the daily news, I guess one cannot refrain from the question, “What are all these things going on in the world today?” When earthquakes are just around the corner… When violence is on a scale that is unthinkable… When world leaders act like dictators… When morality is based on…
Trust in God like a Child
I came across a story of a flight that experienced turbulence. After the scary experience, a man asked a boy who was seated beside him if he was afraid or not. The boy responded, “no.” He explained, “My father is the pilot and I know he will take care of me.” Jesus said when it…
Power Over the Unseen
Matthew 8:28-34 Whenever people talk about the devil, I always recommend the film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, which is based on a true story.

Luke 11:29-32 In the first reading today, we hear of the sign of Jonah. He went around Nineveh for 40 days warning them to repent and they did. In the Gospel today, the Jews were asking for a sign but Jesus did not give the sign because he knew that their hearts were hardened. In…
Prayer and Authority
