From walking and laughing to a better approach to life and suffering

For the last couple of months, I have had this recurring personal statement going through my head and it has to do with enjoying life, appreciating every little thing that comes my way.

Eliminating 'What if' Out of Our Vocabulary

What if we eliminated ‘What if’ out of our vocabulary? That sentence, itself, is contradictory. Why ask, ‘What if,’ wasting the moment you’re in now and worrying yourself with what is yet to come?

Our Mother went up to Heaven, body and soul. Tell her often that we, her children, do not want to be separated from her... She will hear you!

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin means that after Her life on earth, Mary was taken body and soul into Heaven. Unlike other saints, therefore, Our Lady is in Heaven not only with Her soul but also with Her glorified body. Pope Pius XII defined this doctrine as a "divinely revealed dogma" on Nove...

Are We Addicted to Entertainment?

It is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue.

Our Founding Fathers may have opted for a separation of Church and state but not for a separation of God and state. There is no brotherhood of man without the Fatherhood of God. The division of life into the sacred and the secular is a false dichotomy. There is not now, there never was and there nev... (www.catholic365.com)
