Playing GOD


Enlighten Us O Holy Spirit! Posted by Picasa

What is the real meaning of Religion? How well do you understand it? Is Religion defined as complying to a set of laws or regulations to avoid eternal punishment? What is Pure religion? Is Pure religion a sin? Fr Jack McArdle shares with us his insightful reflection.

Change of Heart


Loving Unconditionally Posted by Picasa

"I now no longer live. Christ my Lord lives in me." I have been crucified with Christ. My pride, my self-sufficiency, my anger and lust, my envy and unforgiveness, my coldness and indifference to the suffering of others all need to be removed and replaced with genuine humility, joyful dependence on God's grace and on graciously receiving from others as well as freely sharing with them. The Holy Spirit will give me a warm, open, loving, concerned heart, that is truly human.

One of life's greatest challenge is a continual conversion and renewal of our hearts to GOD. Sometimes there is so much of ourselves to "die to" so that we can be closer to our Divine Maker and be Christ to others. Fr Peter Desouza contributes this next article.
