A four part series by Father Gerard Beigel, S.T.D. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the great Russian author who exposed the injustices of Soviet Communism, once said that the greatest problem in the modern world is that human beings have forgotten God.

When people today think about their problems, how many would really believe that the solution to their problems is found in remembering that they are created in the image of God? But however much modern man forgets, denies or ignores…

HOLY HUMOUR Three religious leaders (a rabbi, a priest, and a minister) were all discussing how they divide up tithing income between themselves and God. The minister said, “I draw a line in the sand, throw the money up in the air, and what lands on the left side of the line goes to the good Lord and what lands on the right side goes to me.” Then the priest said, “I draw a circle on the ground, throw the money up in the air, and what lands inside the circle goes to the good Lord and what lands outside…

My dear daughter, I came across this statement by Richard Carlson and I found it very apt as regards empathy and compassion for others and I thought I should share it with you. Nothing helps us build our perspective more than developing compassion for others. Compassion is a sympathetic feeling. It involves the willingness to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, to take the focus off yourself and to imagine what it’s like to be in someone else’s predicament, and simultaneously, to feel love for that person. It’s the recognition that other people’s problems, their pain and frustrations, are every…
Psalm 34 – The Happiness of Those Who Trust in God A Psalm of David when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces…

I know you’re a virgin who didn’t know what men do with doors, what men do with buildings, what men do to doors, how men knock at doors, how men bark at doors to terrify it into running away, flaking away, rushing away to remove itself from its hinges, from its root, from its guardian angels. I know you don’t know how men shake doors, shake buildings, how men lay waste its flowers, lay waste its nectars, how men burn buildings down through sex and romance. You’re young with a voracious modulus for calculus; you’re probably naïve with the natives…
THE SUNDAY JOKE LORD HEAR OUR PRAYERS. Two guys are walking through a game park and they come across a lion that has not eaten for days. The lion starts chasing the two men. They run as fast as they can and the one guy starts getting tired and decides to say a prayer, “Please turn this lion into a Christian, Lord.” He looks to see if the lion is still chasing and he sees the lion on its knees. Happy to see his prayer answered, he turns around and heads towards the lion. As he comes closer to the…
