Moreover, his universal knowledge is not only of the “nonsnooping” type but even the nonreasoning type; it doesn’t result from discursive reasoning, drawing conclusions, or even ob...

What is necessary to be open to life?

To be open to life means let God, in his lovingly providence, determine the number of children each family is called to educate. The ones who defend this idea nowadays are called, at least, crazy or irresponsible, because we live in a culture totally against life.... (www.catholic365.com)

A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence.

To commence means to begin. However, a commencement ceremony is a graduation--more of an end than a beginning. When you look at it, our language is filled with linguistic anomalies.

Not All Ministers Walk on Two Legs

In April 2000, my Mom went to the local Humane Society with her friend who wanted to “adopt a little boy”. My Mom was NOT going to get another dog. Amen. Ha, she saw me! I innocently mesmerized her with my big brown eyes. Success! We were soon on our way home. I had a new leash on life.... (www.catholic365.com)
