The 7 Ways God Can Heal You and Your Loved Ones

Last updated on: September 15, 2023 at 11:04 am   By Jocelyn Soriano

“…for I am the Lord who heals you.” – Exodus 15:26 (NRSVCE) God Is the One Who Heals Jesus healed many people then, and He still heals many today.

And although the healing of our spirit should always be the priority, it isn’t... Read more

Have you ever wondered why you need to be Catholic when you’re already a Christian? Believing in Jesus Christ is indeed the most important thing we could ever do in life.

Loneliness does not end when you finally find a partner in life. On the contrary, some people can feel even lonelier than before. And because they are not longer single, they may no longer know how to address the loneliness they feel. Some may deny the truth that despite having a partner, they still feel lonely. Some may try to distract themselves with other hobbies or preoccupations to forget the emptiness they feel inside. Still others may be tempted to... Read more

This Bible Verse Could Tell You Why You’re Not Getting What You Want

Last updated on: July 17, 2023 at 11:03 am   By Jocelyn Soriano

0 Comments

Have you ever felt as though God is denying you something? Have you asked Him, “Why aren’t you giving me what I want?” We feel bad because we see people who seem to be getting all the good things we desire. After working hard through the years, we’re still not even close to reaching our dreams. Why is God withholding good things from us? If He loves us, why aren’t we getting enough from Him? All these questions may even... Read more

Why Confessing to a Priest Is a Blessing

Last updated on: July 17, 2023 at 10:36 am   By Jocelyn Soriano

I once had a dream that I was inside a Church filled with so many people. Suddenly, the people were urged to fall in line as we were about to confess to a priest. The problem was that there was only one priest who needed to hear the confessions of so many people! We may not realize now the value of Confession, but one day, we may regret that we have not gone more often when we could. What if... Read more

I am grateful for the indescribable blessing of being a Christian. But I can’t help but feel bad whenever fellow Christians like me tend to judge others who may not believe in the same way. When you judge another How can we judge what’s in the heart of a person? Or how do we know that we would never fall from the pedestal we think we are at?
