"There's no place too dark for God's light to penetrate and no heart too difficult to be set aflame by His love"

We must reflect often on this parable because in our Christian community there is always someone that is missing and has left leaving an empty spot. Sometimes this is discouraging and brings us to believe that it was an inevitable loss, a sickness without remedy.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Creed - to Recite or Not!

"The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope."

To be saved implies being saved from something or someone. This is what the sentence, and the whole of Advent, demand that we ask ourselves: if we need salvation, what do we need salvation from?... (www.catholic365.com)

"What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?"

The faith we received handed on to us at our baptism must be nourished in our lives for it to grow, by prayer and the sacraments, listening and reading God's word and listening to commentaries on God's word and spiritual and corporal acts of mercy and love.... (www.catholic365.com)
