The Prophecy Of Saint Simeon

After reading certain scriptures, some might be lead to think that because Jesus said it, you can ask God for anything and you will receive it. But, a more thorough reading of Sacred Scripture reveals the truth, and the promise, behind these passages.

Ask And You Shall Receive

There is certainly a lot of suffering in many forms in the world today, so how we might see our suffering as well as the suffering others as meaningful and purposeful in participating in the plan God has laid out for the salvation of the world is a critically important topic to discuss.

Suffering That Saves

Most of us are quite familiar with the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan. But, in the divisive time in which we live, it bears rereading, and asking ourselves to identify who Jesus would tell us our neighbor is today.

Pray Without Ceasing

But, is suffering supposed to be meaningless? Can there ever be a good purpose to suffering? Jesus seemed to think so.

Have you ever started praying a traditional Catholic prayer, but found that you were just rattling off words from memory without really paying attention to their meaning?

Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they delve into the Act of Contrition phrase by phrase.

Contrition
