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.

You Did It To Me
Matthew 25:40 says I lost it. I hope that 40 was on the next page. “And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these, my brethren, you did it to me.'” If President Biden or Pope Francis comes here and wants a cup of water, everybody will run scatter-skelter, falling on each other to provide them…

Struggles with Relationships
Are you struggling in your relationship? You should check this out. There is this person who always gets on your nerves. Whatever you do is wrong. You have the feeling this person hates you. Most of us go through this. Sometimes it’s your boss. Sometimes, it’s your coworker. Sometimes even in your house, sometimes your children, even your parents. It’s hard. It is hard to love.

Have Compassion For Others
Gospel of St. Luke, chapter 16, verse 25. But Abraham said, “Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things and Lazarus in like manner evil things. But now he’s comforted here and you are in anguish.” Lazarus was not even allowed to eat the crumbs from the rich man’s table. The rich man and his people didn’t care. But this story calls us…
