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 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

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

Good Friendship
Friendship Friendship is a very beautiful relationship. Friends stick close to each other. A close friend is better than a brother (Proverbs 18:24). A person lays down his life for his friend(John 15:13). Jesus called us friends as we know his plans and He shares everything with us(John 15:15). St Maximilian Kolbe offered as a… Continue reading

Faith
Without faith, it is impossible to please God. For everyone who prays to God must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him(Hebrews 11:6). We walk by faith and not by sight(2Cor 5:7). This was true with Father Abraham. He left everything he owned and moved to a far away land by just… Continue reading

God’s Visitations
Many great Saints enjoyed thorough visions from God. As they were very close to Him, this is obvious. But these were very peculiar in nature. Many of them are were thought to be hallucinations by people who heard of them. St Alphonsa was all the time confined to the bed and suffered greatly. She used… Continue reading

A Godly Death
Death can be distasteful. But, God can use it to sprout out a new seed(John 12:24) and bring glory to the Saint’s motherland. The martyrdom of His Saints was shared by Him to them well before in their life(John 15:15). Therefore, He called them friends. St Edith Stein was recorded to know about her death… Continue reading
