People take photographs of their loved ones. If you take a picture of your beloved one and kiss it, is it that person you’re kissing? Because as you do that, you remember the sentiments of the person you are looking at. And the Catholics, when they have these statues, these statues are people who you remember with joy. People who you know have lived a Christian life. So that’s why you have all these statues of different sins, including our Mother Mary, including even the statue of divine mercy of our Lord, Jesus Christ. But the Catholics know that these are only images reminding you of the person you are looking at. These people who are being venerated, who we have their images of, have lived a good life. And you pray, asking these saints to intercede for you.

Despite our idiosyncrasies, our stubbornness, He waits patiently. We are to continue to have patience with one another. Even some of us, when we are driving and…

Have Compassion For Others
Gospel of St. Luke, chapter 16, verse 25. But Abraham said, “Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things and Lazarus in like manner evil things. But now he’s comforted here and you are in anguish.” Lazarus was not even allowed to eat the crumbs from the rich man’s table. The rich man and his people didn’t care. But this story calls us…
