Glory be to Jesus Christ! This is the “sex-ed” talk which we often find lacking in some of our families and schools. We can picture here a concerned and wise father, sitting down with his son to counsel him on living a God-pleasing and successful life. Often times we make a big fuss about how […]
Glory be to Jesus Christ! Have you ever heard of the Law of Diminishing Effect? It basically states that after your peak experience of something the following ones will have less of an effect on you and therefore if you want that same high (which you will actually never really achieve) you need more of […]
Glory be to Jesus Christ! Today, and on International Woman’s Day no less, we read about the woman that Solomon, the writer of Proverbs according to Tradition, would council his son to take as his bride. It is very interesting to note the characteristics which he should chose her for because he doesn’t state…well…anything. When […]
Glory be to Jesus Christ! Well, we are already four three whole chapters into Genesis, and there are four people accounted for in the creation of the world, so it’s about time for the first murder, right? Following the Fall, we see the consequences of sin “echo through” humanity from generation to generation. Our relationships […]
Glory be to Jesus Christ! “Where are you?” This is the question that the All-knowing God asks Adam as Adam cowers for fear of being discovered in the Garden. It is a tragic question indeed. We see the result of the eating of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil […]
Glory be to Jesus Christ! I don’t think I have ever seen an episode of “American Idol” all the way through, and yet I must confess I am very familiar with idolatry. We often throw the word idol around when trying to describe someone we admire or believe to be gifted etc. Often times children […]
Glory be to Jesus Christ! A lot of abuses have happened over the “dominion” of man over nature that we read about in Genesis today. Many ecologically-minded people find fault and scandal over this supposed licence to do with nature as humanity sees fit. And I don’t really blame them. Abuses have happened, but this […]
Glory be to Jesus Christ! Some of the most amazing books that I have read (and reread…) are CS Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia, an adventure about four children who stumble upon a magical world fighting for freedom against the forces of darkness. Although currently in the clutches of the White Witch who makes it […]
Glory be to Jesus Christ! Brothers and sisters we have arrived at the Great and Holy Fast, the training ground of our souls, and the desert through which we travel to witness the Lord’s Resurrection! Let us enter the Fast with joy! Lent is many things, but one very important element of the fast is […]
Glory be to Jesus Christ! Have you ever seen the cross on the back of a donkey? The Nubian burro is the species that carried our Lord into Jerusalem, and also most likely carried Him in the womb of His mother on their trip to Bethlehem. These donkeys each have a unique darker “shadow of the […]
