Praying Right
Pray daily. King David prayed early in the morning [Psalm 63:1a]. Prayer solves every kind of problem. It is a token of love to God and that we belong to him. God asks meaningful prayers from us and also to pray with the room closed, so that he may reward us [Matthew 6:6]. Jesus prayed… Continue reading

On Poverty
Poor souls please the Lord. There are plenty of instances in the Scriptures about this. Good News was first proclaimed to the poor Shepherds [Luke 2:8-12]. Even the lowly people like Lazarus, from the rich man’s story, was accepted into Heaven [Luke 16:19-31]. Jesus, also, was from a materially poor background. This was for a… Continue reading

God Demands Complete Surrender
Jesus wants complete surrender from us to his will. He asks us to invest in eternal things where moths and rust do not destroy the riches nor thieves break in to steal them [Matthew 6:19]. We should offer him all spotless and fine things like Abel who offered the finest things from his harvest [Genesis… Continue reading

This could be seen in the Bible. Here, God asks to behave with an Ox working for the Israelites [Deuteronomy 25:4]. This was true with… Continue reading

A Short Life
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere(Psalm 84:10). This was true in the lives of many Saints. They lived a short life, but it was an eventful enough one for the glory of God. He willed it to be so. To enumerate: St Therese of Lisieux lived for 24 years on… Continue reading

God is Patient
God is faithful and shows his unfailing love to thousands of generations, slow to anger [Exodus 34:6]. He makes his Sun rise and rain shower on both the evil and the just [Matthew 5:45]. He doesn’t want to lose righteous persons even if there are only 10 of them in the lot [Genesis 18:32]. He… Continue reading

God and Peace
Jesus Christ is a God of peace. The Bible calls him ‘Prince of Peace’ [Isaiah 9:6]. More so, it is written that peacemakers are called sons of God [Matthew 5:9]. This was truly unfolded in his Saints’ lives too. The prominent of these was St Rita of Cascia. She turned a peacemaker and solved an… Continue reading
