Dear Dorothy, I have a serious temper problem. Whenever I get angry, I don’t just shout, I end up destroying things around me. I have broken plates, thrown my phone, slammed doors, and once even smashed a mug against the wall. The anger usually passes quickly, but the damage remains. Afterwards, I feel embarrassed and regretful, especially when I think about the money wasted replacing things. My family says I need to control my temper, but in the moment, it feels impossible. I’m worried that one day I might damage something important or hurt someone by accident. I don’t want…

Readings: 1 Samuel 16:1, 6-7; 10-13; Psalm 23; Ephesians 5:8-14; John 9:1-41 Today is the Fourth Sunday of Lent, traditionally called Laetare Sunday, a moment of joy in the middle of our Lenten journey. The Gospel presents one of the most powerful miracles of Jesus, the healing of the man born blind. We hear not only of the miracle itself, but also of the interrogation by the religious leaders, the rejection and excommunication of the healed man, and finally, how Jesus seeks him out and reveals Himself to him. This passage teaches many lessons. We see questions about how we…
Weddings are one of life’s most cherished milestones, and the way couples choose to celebrate their union often reflects their cultural, religious, and personal values.

Church Weddings A church wedding is a religious ceremony conducted according to the rites of a…
