God’s Plans
God works in elaborate plans in the lives of his people who are consecrated to him (Jer 29:11). He is pleased to do what he wills in them (Psalm 115:3).

Cares of this World
Cares of this world make us worrisome and troubled. Jesus says that we should not worry about what we eat or dress or drink (Mt 6:34). It is not needed for eternal life.

Material World
Money does bring happiness, but it won’t last for long. Families that were once thriving and teeming with love have gone down into fights and lawsuits.

Prayer: Wrestle with God
God’s love towards those who fear him is very great (Psalm 103:11). He is with them like their shadow and won’t rest until he fulfils what he has promised them through his word (Isaiah 55:10). We should be like Jacob who wrestled with God and wouldn’t allow him to depart before the break of dawn,… Continue reading

Saints and Marriage
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. One of these instances recorded is that of St Faustina Kowalska. She was hired by a wealthy woman as a nanny for her… Continue reading
