The Awesome Power of God In the Book of Job, we find a man who has endured an enormous amount of suffering. Having lost all his children and all his property in freak accidents, he is taunted by his own wife and friends. Through it all, Job maintained his innocence; he considered himself just, rather than God. But the Lord God tells Job: “Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its…

Happy Father’s Day

Sunday, June 20, is Father’s Day. Happy Father’s Day! A Chinese Poem A mother’s love is deep like the sea, but a father’s love is strong as a mountain, With white hair they watched as the children play their childish games. A parent’s love is like the three springs, it warms a whole lifetime. As I drink a cup of water, my memories take me to them, The great distance between us makes me miss them so. Today is Father’s…

I bring low the high tree, lift high the lowly tree, wither…

The Eucharist: The Body and Blood of Christ When we hear the words “Body and Blood of Christ,” the Eucharist quickly comes to mind. However, the words “Body of Christ” have another meaning: St. Paul often referred to the “Body of Christ” as the Church (cf. 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Colossians 1:18; 2:18-20; Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:12), which is the mystical Body of Christ made visible in the world (CCC 771). Jesus calls us into His Body! The connection between the two…

Glory to the Holy Trinity What is the dogma of the Holy Trinity? The Holy Trinity is the mystery of one God in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life; it is the mystery of God in Himself; it is the source of all the other mysteries of faith, and it is the most fundamental and essential teaching in the hierarchy of the truths of faith.

Let Us Welcome the Holy Spirit We know that the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, but beyond that, how much more do we know about the Holy Spirit? Jesus did not reveal the Holy Spirit fully to His disciples until He Himself has been glorified through His Death and Resurrection (CCC 728). Jesus promised the coming of the Holy Spirit; the Spirit of Truth will be sent by the Father in Jesus’ name. The Holy…

The Triumphant Ascension of Christ From the period of time between the Resurrection and the Ascension, Jesus appeared to His disciples and ate with them, so that they may witness that He is truly alive and risen from the dead. At the same time, Jesus opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, that everything written about Him in the Law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled. (cf. Luke 24:44-45) At the Resurrection, Christ’s body was…
