When people think about religion, it is easy to imagine that each country has one dominant faith that shapes its culture and traditions. While this may be true in some places, many countries are home to multiple religions that have coexisted for centuries. This rich mix of beliefs has influenced everything from architecture and festivals to food, music and national identity. Religious diversity often reflects a country’s history, migration patterns, trade connections and commitment to freedom of worship. Here are some countries where more than one religion plays a significant role in everyday life. India India is one of the…

Dear Dorothy, I have just turned 35, and instead of feeling excited about the future, I feel anxious. Every birthday makes me think about the years slipping away. I notice new lines on my face, friends are getting married, some already have children, and people keep asking me when I will “settle down”. I worry that I am running out of time to achieve everything I dreamed of. Social media does not help because it feels as though everyone else has their life perfectly organised while I am falling behind. I have started avoiding birthday celebrations because they remind me…

Readings: Isaiah 55:10-11; Psalm 65; Romans 8:18-23; Matthew 13:1-23 Grace and peace to you, dear brothers and sisters in Christ. Today is the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A. The First Reading of today reminds us of something very beautiful about the Word of God. Isaiah tells us that God’s Word is like the rain and snow that come down from heaven. They never return without watering the earth, making it fertile and causing it to produce fruit. In the same way, God’s Word never returns to Him empty; it always accomplishes the purpose for which He sends it…
Every love story has a beginning. While relationships grow through trust, commitment, and shared experiences, there is often one memorable quality that first captures someone’s attention. Sometimes it is a smile across a crowded room. Other times it is a simple act of kindness, a shared conversation, or an unexpected sense of humour. For many couples, that first attraction was not necessarily about appearance alone. It was about something that sparked curiosity and made them want to know more. Based on surveys, we asked couples to reflect on the qualities that first drew them to the people they now call…
