Having to See Our Whole Lives Go Before Us Print
Saturday, 12 May 2012 09:07

Father, As I grow older, I look forward to my encounter with our Lord, however, I cringe at thinking we have to see our whole lives go before us. Why would we need to go through that suffering after we have had so much suffering while alive. What is the benefit, I am already aware that I have offended God throughout my whole life. I consider it cruel and that makes me wonder why our loving God would ask that. Who told us that? St. Thomas or St. Augustine? Thank you.

Hi For a very long time I've felt that I have a calling to the preisthood and want very much to take this further to see if I might have a calling to the priesthood. Please can you help me with information about how to proceed. I love the Sacered Heart of Jesus and this is the reason for my current enquiry. Thank you. Please can you help me?

Trying to Make Sense of Suffering Print
Wednesday, 11 April 2012 10:40

I am trying to make sense of what life has become. I mean all the suffering that has gone on since the world began. Is it the baggage that came along with original sin? Will it ever end here or only when the world ends, if ever. Many times even personal suffering does not make sense anymore.

Understanding the term "Immaculate Conception" Print
Tuesday, 10 April 2012 10:40

I want to understand more fully the term Immaculate Conception when applied to Our Lady. She was born without original sin, then St. Elizabeth was "overshadowed" in some supernatural way? Thanks

Mike
