"St Augustine said in his sermons, it’s no use complaining about the times, because we are the times. How we live shapes them.”

How often conversations start with this question: So what are you planning to do today?

Prayer “in His name” means participation in sonship

Yet, one still has to make a choice.

Paul does not choose Philippi; he is sent there.

Through you, He gives the world a glimpse of what His love looks like in flesh.

Jesus is stating that fruit and access to the Father will be through his Name. All through Christ.

As faithful Catholics, we should respect the Pope and read his teachings.

To abide in Christ, means care to maintain the “soil” of my heart good.

It’s ironic that our opening reading describes St. Paul pelted with stones to the point of death and Jesus talking about peace!
