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.

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…

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…

Called into Religious Life
Think you’re being called? Check this out. Calling into the religious life is the spirit that directs, and you must pay attention to the Holy Spirit. Because people are called in different ways, but there is that inner conviction that you follow. I know people who are just attracted by the habit of a religion, and they joined.
