How In The World Did You Get Here??

I can just imagine the look on some cow’s faces when they looked down at their manger and found a baby instead of the usual morning oats. “Where did You come from and how did You get here? I am sure that was their unspoken puzzled words. If we would also deeply think about the MIRACLE behind this bi... (www.catholic365.com)

The world asks: "What does a person own?" God asks, "How does a person use what he or she has been given?"

St. Luke the Evangelist presents many “stewardship parables”. Today’s Gospel passage offers two, one much longer than the other. The upshot of both is an explicit moral that lets no Christian off easily: “Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the... (www.catholic365.com)

The Devil's Lullaby for Careless Christians

Good advice, even when facetiously expressed, should never be ignored.

Art, and Ite Missa Est
