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.

Love Endures All Things
Love endures all things. It’s not easy to endure, but love endures all things. Do you see what is happening in our society today? No more commitment. Everything is like going to the supermarket. If you don’t like it, you throw it away or return it. We are getting used to throwing away. Throw away plates, cutlery, food, and everything…

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…

Be Slow To Anger
Proverbs 14:29. “He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.” Some of us who are hot tempers who have not been able to control our anger in some situations have seen the disadvantages of it. A hot temper and not controlling your anger have led many people to do things that they will regret…
