Junk Food or the Real Deal?

Every day I meet a sea of people who come to see me where I work. All of them looking for what they’d like to eat for dinner that night.

Day 243 – The Rich Man and Lazarus

Epiphany: Seeking—and Finding—Truth

Epiphany. Before I converted to Christian Catholicism, I knew the noun only as AHA!

It is easy to want things from the Lord and yet not want the Lord Himself, as though the gift could ever be preferable to the Giver.

Do You Have a Devotion to Our Lady of Cana

Looking toward the end of the first week of the new year, I noticed a feast day that made me take pause. It falls on January 6 and is called Our Lady of Cana. We all know about the Wedding Feast at Cana and how Jesus, at the request of His Mom, performed His first public miracle here. However, I ha... (www.catholic365.com)

Self-Confidence
