This is how Catholics show their love for the dead. Some argue, why do we pray for the dead? But Maccabees have given us the insight. The Bible says. “For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen will rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore, he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin.” It’s the resurrection. So, if we believe in the resurrection, we must pray for the dead, and we pray for the dead so that their sins will be forgiven. That’s why we have Masses for them, and we’re encouraged to pray for our dead ones. They need our prayers so that they will be released from their sins.

Give Back and Serve
Some of us don’t realize the talents and treasures God has given to us. We better set out to find out the talents and the treasures the Lord has endowed on us. Be different from the steward who was given one talent, and he went and hid it. Let us be like those given ten talents, five talents, they doubled it! And the master said, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” If you are the one who…

Follow the Lord’s Footsteps
Matthew 4:19 says, “And he said to them follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” And it happened. It happened. Look at the apostles who followed him. Look at Peter, who he made the head of the apostles. We have all these Christians and Catholics today because they followed his footsteps, and he made them fishers of men. You have been hearing the same: action speaks…

Don’t Be Too Busy for God
First Thessalonians chapter five, verses 16 through 18. “Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks In all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Many think they are so busy that they don’t have time to spend with God. Funny enough, some even think it is a waste of time. He is our life, he’s our strength, he is our all. Even Jesus himself gave us…
