  • ephesians 6:18 and pray in the Spirit on ALL occasions with ALL kinds of prayers and requests. with this in mind, be alert and ALWAYS keep on praying for ALL the saints. so don't be limited!
    in Poll: How do you pray? Comment by mabsoota August 2010
  • very clear words. father peter  :) maybe for some it sounds hard to give everything to God, even to accept not to be married or not to have children, but remember u r just accepting not to be married for now, it could change later. or, if like me, …

    in I can't pray Comment by mabsoota July 2010
  • romans 8:38-39 NOTHING can separate us from the love of God. the demons can't hurt you. even the devil himself can't hurt you. no-one can take away your life, only God can, and He loves you. saint antony had many threats from demons, but they could …
    in Im afraid of the devil Comment by mabsoota July 2010
  • my small idea: most of us think we are much better than we actually are. eg if anyone asks us what we do if the house catches fire, we hope that we would take care to help everyone escape. but in real life, maybe we would just run out in a panic and…
    in Immaculate Conception Comment by mabsoota July 2010
  • God is not male. both adam and eve were created in His likeness, so adam was not more like Him than eve. so God can take the place of our father and mother, and if you are in communion with God and walk and talk with Him, you certainly don't lack an…
    in Adam Comment by mabsoota July 2010
  • i think surnames were invented long after adam! i used to think (when i was a little kid) that Jesus' surname was 'Christ', so when anyone referred to Him as 'Christ' they were being impolite and they should call Him 'Mr. Christ'! :D in some parts …

  • well, i thought macarena was a dance song. in fact i danced the 'macarena' with some spanish and french exchange students at a children's disco around the year 2000. it was very popular, but of course, i didn't understand the lyrics as they were in …
    in The Wife of the Holy Spirit Comment by mabsoota July 2010
  • maybe u tired yrself out! we are capable of only a limited amount of emotion. when u r young u feel like u have an endless capacity for everything, but eventually u start to run out of energy or emotions. i mean u can't be passionate about everythin…
    in Numb to Music. Because of Sports? Comment by mabsoota July 2010
  • sometimes we need to reply to something, eg if it's something God has helped us with and we know how to deal with the situation. other times we need to humbly consider that other people may have a better answer than we do. if we reply sometimes but …

    in The Watchtower Society LOL Comment by mabsoota July 2010
  • i assume you mean the Holy water after mass, not water pistols in the summer when we are children! i think it's from psalm 50; 'cleanse me with hyssop and i will be clean' and symbolises that we have taken part in the Holy Body and Blood of our Lord…

  • when i watched it with my friend at the time (i don't remember discussing it here before), she thought it was a real apparition of the departed bishop. apparently people also could smell the incense (khoor) that came out of the coffin. neither of us…

  • cannabis is only useful in certain extreme medical conditions, eg. multiple sclerosis, and even here it's benefits have not been proven. most of the claims of the benefits of canabis have not been backed up by proper scientific trials.
