As David waited expectantly for my wise answer, I scrambled to think quickly but truthfully. I was preparing dinner one afternoon, when five-year old David came running up to me with a serious look on his face.

Self-Important Humility
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” -Ephesians 2:8,9 When many Christians think of humility and sanctity, they often think of ascetic fasting and the heroic acts of the saints but these…… Continue reading Self-Important Humility
The Purity and Power of Parables
Catholic writers, especially those of us who expound on the inner, spiritual life should carefully follow Christ’s example. Jesus used simple stories and parables to explain spiritual truths. It was the only way He could come close to explaining the inexplicable.

“But Jesus is in There!!!”
I was preparing dinner one afternoon, when five-year old David came running up to me with a serious look on his face.

Once again, David had another theological question for me, “Mum, does Mary live in…… Continue reading “But Jesus is in There!!!”
