God’s Intellect
Jesus was known to possess great intellect. He could stupefy even the most learned person of His time. This was true in a number of cases: may it be the question regarding marriage in Heaven(Matthew 22:28-33) or the greatest commandment(Matthew 22:35-40) or paying taxes(Matthew 22:15-22). Many of His Saints possessed great intellectual abilities too. St… Continue reading

Serving God
Those who serve God lack no good thing. Contrary to the situation in this world, even majestic young lions suffer and hunger(Psalm 34:10). More so, those who serve and proclaim the gospel are asked to carry nothing with them on the journey to these places- not even money with an extra pair of clothes(Luke 9:3).… Continue reading

God and Parents
Jesus Obeyed His parents though they were earthly ones(Luke 2:51). He did this because it pleased His heavenly Father. He instituted families so as to establish love. Those who obey their parents have long life in the land(Ephesians 6:1-3). The mother of St Kuriakose Chavara brought him up in very godly ways. Because of her… Continue reading

God and Forgiveness
Jesus asks us to forgive anyone who has wronged us. We should not carry grudges against one another. He, Himself, set us an example by forgiving those who insulted and put Him on the Cross(Luke 23:24). The Saints too exhibited this behaviour. One of them is St Maria Goretti who forgave her killer. When on… Continue reading

Mother Mary, the Ark
Mother Mary is the Ark of the Covenant. The old Ark was never found. It was carried all along the Israelites’ journeys and many battles. The same way Mother Mary leads us and God protects us through her. She is chosen for this blessing. All the Saints were guided by her voice when they were… Continue reading

God’s Providence
God can do the impossible in his faithful’s lives. He knows each and everyone’s heart and supplies their needs from His Providence(Philippians 4:19). All that a person has to do is to trust in Him as a father and give themselves to Him totally. The miracles in all His Saints’ life are too many to… Continue reading

Suffering for God
Not all who are struck with disaster are sinners(Luke 13:4). God allows suffering in the lives of his faithful too. He prunes them so that they produce more fruit(John 15:1,2). Suffering is for everyone and in the plan of God (Romans 5:3-5). Jesus suffered too. For Him it was a form of baptism. Job proved… Continue reading

God of Surprises
Our God is a God of Surprises. He works in every person according to the right time and His will. He never leaves His chosen. We need to please Him and have a heart after Him like King David(1Sam 13:14). Some Saints were very lacking in their spiritual life and had a bad past. St… Continue reading

God and Honour
Jesus rejected honour and popularity among people. We can recall many instances wherein He warned and asked people to not tell anyone about the miracle He performed on them(Mark 3:12). He was against the human way of honouring Him. He knew their hearts were full of material things and this was one of the reasons… Continue reading
About Me
I’m a preacher and share a very close bond with Mother Mary. Being a Freelance Writer and having a Content Writing experience of over ten years, writing has become a part of my life. Adding sheen to this journey, I have published three books: two in the Catholic spirituality genre and another in self help; it is good to explore different genres.
