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.

Work-Life Balance
You know that the Lord created the universe in six days. And on the seventh day, He rested. And the commandments said, “Keep the Sabbath Day holy.” But then there is an exception, and that exception is one the Lord made. He cured on the Sabbath to show that you can also do certain things on the Sabbath. If you’re working in a hospital, you need to save lives. What of the priests? One of their main work is to say…
