A frequent question posed to Saints was about marriage. Owing to their chaste nature people used to baby them and at the marriageable age were confused of their state of being unmarried.

Prayer Averts Destruction
God hears the prayers of the righteous and gives answers very fast. The prayer of a righteous man avails much(James 5:16). As he is a good father, God won’t refuse his good children.

God’s Intellect
Jesus was known to possess great intellect. He could stupefy even the most learned person of His time.

Many of His Saints possessed great intellectual abilities too. St… Continue reading
