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.

Love believes in all things. Do we believe in love? Do we believe in God? The God who created us, who gave us life? Do we believe? I hear some people, sometimes they say, “My father hurt me so much. For me, he doesn’t exist.” He doesn’t exist? He exists. Your father exists. Whether you like it or not, your father exists. It’s the same with…

Serve as Jesus Served
Matthew 20:28 says, “Even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many.” You heard what Jesus said. Jesus was not sitting in the palace waiting for people to come. He went out and reached out to the people. He was healing the sick and feeding the hungry. You heard the lame walk, the blind see, and if you want to be a follower…

When God Approves
Ecclesiastes 9:7, “Go eat your bread with enjoyment and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.” Listen. It is only when God approves what you do that you can be happy. Some of us take it the other way around. But God approves, and then happiness comes. In my development work, when a donor gives a gift of a water well to…
