Prayers are Heard
No one who is scared or hesitant to work for the Lord is worthy of being his disciple (Luke 9:62). He did not give us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and of a sound mind (2Tim 1:7). He is a powerful God and guards his faithful (2 Chronicles 16:9). If anyone touches… Continue reading

Great risks for God
Many of God’s people would trust in his Providence and risk everything for his call. The dangers awaiting them while doing this will of his did not discourage them.

A Holy Death
Jesus Christ conquered death on the Cross. Death stings us no more(1Corinthians 15:55).

St Anthony of Padua saw Jesus at the moment of… Continue reading

This may be communicated to the person in a vision. I know a man who was predestined. This was made known… Continue reading

To a new person reading it, the Bible may seem it is giving out contradicting or opposing opinions to the same problem. Many Saints knew the importance of Bible. St Thomas… Continue reading
