The Return of the Lord    

1 Thess 4:13-18 Brethren, we would not have you ignorant, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.

Accountable to God    

Mt 25:14-30 At that time Jesus told his disciples this parable: “For it will be as when a man going on a journey called his servants and entrusted to them his property;  to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. He

Inner healing in God – Part VIII

Before moving on to another aspect related to the healing of the soul, which differs somewhat from previous subtopics, I felt it was important to explain the classic healing process through the practice of true Catholic faith. From the beginning of this series, I have emphasized that true faith is essential for inner healing. By
