God will.

I got the following quote in my mailbox this morning.

By Ben Stein
[about Stein - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Stein]

Jesus saves

Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.

An empty vessel

25 Mar 2009
Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord
Fr Luke Fong, at the lunchtime Mass in the city, spoke of an empty vessel and how unless we are empty can we be filled. It’s easy to image an empty vessel. Before I can be empty and clean I have first to rid myself of [...]

Struggling with discernment

“Many people struggle with discernment because they don’t yet have a living relationship with Christ, and charisms don’t manifest and start operating in your life until your faith becomes personal. We have to help people address those fundamental issues of discipleship. Once you have a loving relationship with Christ, people are hungry and eager to [...]

Keep healthy, everyone!

I was reading Fr. Christopher Soh’s (S.J.) blog at http://breaking-the-word.blogspot.com/. He wrote this day:
“The image of clogged arteries presents a useful corollary to Jesus’ well-known parable in today’s gospel: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of [...]
