How do we face suffering and pain?... (www.catholic365.com)

Miracle Power at Your Fingertips

Proverbs tell us: "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver" (Prv 25:11). For better or worse, words have a powerful effect on us all.

"The Holy Spirit does not get our attention by shouting or shaking us with a heavy hand. - Rather it whispers - We have to listen to the Holy Spirit who is inside us! What does He tell us?"

What the Church needs today is not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use, men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. - The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not anoint plans, but men, men of prayer.

The imperfect world we live in, a world where the innocent suffer, can point us to pessimism. But Jesus Christ has transformed us into eternal optimists.... (www.catholic365.com)

Frustrated by slow-and-go freeway traffic on my way to a television interview, I decided to try a shortcut by surface streets with which I was unfamiliar. My frustration was compounded by frequent stop lights, cul-de-sacs, and a labyrinth of zig-zag, curved, and dead-end streets. Breathless, I arriv... (www.catholic365.com)
