Family Occasions, Speaking Heart to Heart

February 25, 2025 Over and Above All Things opusdei.org Hello!  How is each and every one?  Gee whiz!  Time is running!  Or is it we, who are running fast?  The safe measure?  Run at God’s pace. As He leads us, let us follow Him.  Time is His and so are we.  Any doubts about that?  Are you God’s? Is your life, His?  “What do you have that you have not received?” (1 Cor 4:7). Enjoying Christ Now let us proceed with the 2 nd part of the chapter we have started on our divine longing for well-being ( From Broken Gods , Hope, Healing, and the Seven Longings of the Human Heart, Gregory K. Popcak, Ph. D. Ch 9). Let us learn lessons for our own personal situation and make the effort to go and grow in the right direction in life.

 February 18, 2025 Catholicism.org   Hello! How is each and every one?

  February 11, 2025 Trade Press Services Hello!   How is each and every one?   Happy Feast day of our Lady of Lourdes!   Come to think of it is the fiesta of Our Lady of Lourdes over in our area.   We belong to the Barangay of Lourdes in Quezon City.

Archdiocese of Malta Now I am recalling what happened last Sunday during the homil...
