Remembering the Wonders
The Psalmist says, “Remember the wonders the Lord has done”. (Ps 105:5). Often we relate to this line as prompting us towards an ‘attitude of gratitude’, towards making us a thanksgiving people. And that is surely the case. But the Holy Spirit who guides the psalmist often has many layers of messages for His people. And in this letter the one we will focus on is the message of HOPE. The past should encourage us to Hope; despite the present and even despite ourselves. What God has done for us should constantly spur us on from ‘one level of glory to ...
Independence Day Special!
Happy Freedom! What a strange greeting this may sound to most. We are used to be wished many things, but ‘Happy Freedom’ may clearly not be one of them. Well, today and this month of India’s independence, and for ever, I wish you (and myself) this. “For freedom, Christ has set us free” (Gal 5:1). What a curious line. But in it, I believe, is hidden the mystery of God’s love, human suffering, human destiny, the incarnation of the second person of the Most Holy Trinity and much else. How easy it would be for the Great Creator to make us mere ...
St. John Bosco took the tiger out of the woods and the woods out of the tiger
You can take the tiger out of the woods, but you can’t take the woods out of the tiger. While the young can be taken away from dangerous surroundings, there are innate tendencies that will still be a source of temptation. St. John Bosco is aware of these that is why he took the tiger out of the woods, away from the occasions of sin like places and persons. Moreover, he tried to take the woods out of the tiger. He sheltered the boys in his school and helped them along the straight and narrow by prevention and assistance. Assistance is ...

A Catholic Answer to Paranormal Questions
Do Catholics believe in the Paranormal? The answer to this is emphatically: That depends. The absolute core of our Faith as Catholics is the Supernatural. God, as the creator of all things, is supernatural. He is “above” or “outside” of our created nature. When man was first put on earth, he was endowed with gifts that were beyond everything...

Upcoming Retreats
I believe retreats are like “honeymoons” or holidays with Jesus. True, He is with us every moment of the day always, but at retreats it’s like we’ve taken time out from everything else, only to focus on Him and spend time building our relationship with Him, just as we’d perhaps do with our spouse / family. Upcoming Retreats... [Read more]
