Pope proposes, they dispose…. Where’s compassion, benevolence and empathy?

The saga of a college professor

When I saw this man prostrating before a ‘god man’ statue…. I realized I’m among the luckiest to know the real God

Who’re the luckiest persons in this world?

By Sheena George

 One day when I was passing by a religious place of another faith, I saw a man prostrating before the statue of a ‘god man’ who lives in another part of the country. I was amused by this ardent expression of his faith without any inhibition. But I thought all his faith was in vain.

Two Popes set to become saints on April 27

  The countdown has begun. In 44 days, the Roman Catholic Church will create history. Pope John Paul 2nd and Pope John 23rd will be declared saints in an epochal event on April 27, 2014. The canonisation ceremony in Vatican will be attended by the two living Popes: Francis, who will officiate, and Pope Benedict, who retired last year.

Pope's message to Kenneth Copeland

 Pope Francis recently sent a video message to Word of Faith leader Kenneth Copeland, urging a reconciliation between Catholics and Charismatics.
  The video was sent through Anglican Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer who played it before a group of cheering followers at the Kenneth Copeland Ministries meeting.
 This video starts with a message from Bishop Palmer. After Pope's message, Copeland prayed for Pope which was videotaped and sent back to Pope.

LENTEN REFLECTIONS

Don't enter into dialogue with Satan

Blockbuster Bible epic ‘Son of God’ touches people’s hearts in lent season

 A new movie depicting the life of Jesus Christ is making waves across the world, smashing many box-office records in the lent season.

It's not drama... and don't look at your watch

LENT REFLECTIONS

  It was time for Holy Mass in a Mumbai church on a Sunday evening. The parish priest came to the altar but he was disturbed to see the empty chairs and benches in the front. For, the vast majority of people were sitting in the last rows of the spacious church a la waiting to watch a film in a cinema hall.

'I touched the TV screen and prayed along with the priest... and Hannah started getting better' -- By SIMMY JOSHY

Just give Him a chance to act
 My five-year old daughter Hannah used to suffer a lot from wheezing, or 'sibilant rhonchi' in medical terminology. We had spent several sleepless nights when our little girl faced breathing difficulties.

Has Christ been divided?

  We started writing about Jesus almost three months ago and generally got encouraging words from many people. However, we were also shocked by the rabid and bigoted comments from readers of our blog from other Christian communities in the US and Europe.

It's all about faith… we can't be Christians who resort to casuistry and ideology

Even demons know entire theology, they have Denzinger memorised... but they do not have faith

  We can recite the Creed theoretically even without faith and there are many people who do so. Even the detestable demons do it.
