We baptise infants who do not even understand the sacraments simply because we believe baptism is necessary for salvation.. If an infant is prematurely born or sick, t…
I was at a restaurant with some friends the other day, and the path between the car and the restaurant was a lengthy, empty and dark one.
On our way back to the car, my friend and I saw a Vinnies van in action, it said "Come for a meal and a chat".…

"The solution to your problem is not the solution to your problem,
The solution to your problem is Finding GOD inside your problem."
- Fr Anthony Messeh
We should always be striving to be more like Christ, as He set the perfect example for us to follow.
However, due to our human weaknesses we tend to never really get there.. And hence, we can never really be perfect.

-if interested there is a story that proves the effectiveness of this excercise and how God will be with us the entire day if we make Him our first priority above all in our life.
Yes Please :D .

+God Bless

There are however, times when we should not approach the Body and Blood, thes…
Your contemplations are truly beautiful QT!
Though I couldn't help giggling when I recognised some of those. It's not a bad thing.. You thought of the same thing that some of our fathers thought of. I think there's a lesson here, The Holy Spirit i…
The Son was not abandoned, but He was allowed to feel pain... You're explanation is not incorrect, but this is another one that is also accepted by the church.

I have to throw in my two (obnoxious) cents in:
1. Obama is not the Anti-Christ, he is Satan himself.
2. Hillary is Satan's Child.
And the end times are coming becau…
LOL you're hilarious.
It may please you to know that this is actually a well known contemplation... And you thought of it all by yourself at 17!! Quite amazing.
The down side is you can't really claim copyright. LOL
