Life in the Presence of Death
Jesus promises Martha, the sister of Lazarus, two kinds of life. It is important to understand and accept both of them.
Fr. George Smiga
Noticing the Details of Life
Today’s gospel calls us to see the world as God sees it, and God sees value in everything, even the details of life.
So We Do Not Need to Touch
Easter assures us that even when Christ is not visible to us, we are visible to him.
A Hint
Why do people believe in a God who guides their lives? People believe because when they examine their own experience they find indications, hints if you will, that there is a power in this world other than chance.
The 12 Days of Christmas
The full cost of the gifts in “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is $107,300. The huge expense indicates how much we are expected to give.
Santa and St. Nick
The history of Santa Claus can help us appreciate more deeply the meaning of Christ’s birth.

When the things we take pride in are destroyed, it is then time to place our pride in God’s faithfulness.
The Consistency of God
When you are tempted to doubt what will happen after death, look at what is happening before death.
