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.

Finding God in Everything
Psalm 148, verse eight, says, “Fire and hail, snow and frost, stormy wind fulfilling his command.” I woke up this morning, and snow filled our whole compound. And I started to ponder: God is great. How did this all come about? You look up and don’t even see where it comes from, but somebody behind it has made it possible. What a mystery. This is not the first time I’ve seen snow…

Love Does Not Tell Lies
“Love rejoices in the truth. It rejoices in the right.” Truth gives us the reality as it is, without falsifying it. But the problem is, are we ready for it? Sometimes, the truth hurts. Especially if it is being told about us. And we don’t want our idiosyncrasies to be exposed, our mistakes. It hurts, but the truth has to be told because truth is life…

The Meaning of Life
Is there meaning in life? Yes. What do you think it is? I believe it is God. It is God who gives meaning. See what neglect of God is causing in our society today. They took away religion and morals, and the children are no longer finding meaning. Life is no longer sacred because we have no meaning. But it is only God who gives meaning to our lives. Without him, hmm. And you know, the Lord says…
