My Lord’s Love and My Sins...

My Lord’s love is always with me. His love is with me every second of my life.

My Lord’s love has always been there for me.

My Lord’s love was already there for me before the beginning of time when He knew me and what my life would become (Jeremiah 1:5).

My Lord’s love was there for me at the moment of creation (Genesis 1:27).

My Lord’s love was there for me at the moment of my birth (Psalm 139:13–14).

My Lord’s love was there for me at my baptism—His grace and sacrifice washing away the stain of original sin with which I was born (Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:21).

My Lord’s love was there for me throughout my childhood, protecting me and guiding me to the age I am now (Psalm91:11).

My Lord’s love was there for me when I was ill - encouraging me and healing me (James 5:14–15).

My Lord’s love was there for me in my moments of joy—reminding me that all love and joy come from Him (John 15:11).

My Lord’s love was there for me in the difficult times of my life - supporting me and carrying me through the dark tunnel into the light (Psalm 23:4).

My Lord’s love has always been there for me.

I confess now to you, my brothers and sisters, that my love has not always been there, is not always there, and will not always be there for Him (Romans 7:15).

Our Lord Asks Us to Take Up Our Crosses: Would You Rather Carry Someone Else's?

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus famously says, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Matthew 16:24). This is one of the most profound and challenging commands given to us as Christians. 

o follow Christ, we are asked to bear our own crosses, accepting the trials and difficulties of life as part of our spiritual journey. 

But what happens when our cross feels too heavy, too painful, or too unfair? 

Have we ever found ourselves wishing we could trade it for someone else's? And what does it really mean to take up our cross in the first place?

Why Does People Arriving Late for Mass Get Me So Annoyed?

As Catholics, attending Mass is central to our spiritual lives, a weekly renewal of our faith and a communal celebration of the Eucharist. Yet, there’s a recurring issue that can unsettle even the most devout attendees: people arriving late for Mass. 

This phenomenon can stir a mix of frustration, distraction, and even indignation among those who strive to arrive on time. But why does this behaviour evoke such strong reactions? 

Let’s delve into the reasons behind this annoyance and explore how we can respond with understanding and charity.

What Would You Have Done? I Know What I Would Have Done... - Mark 10:17–31

The Gospel according to Mark offers a powerful and thought-provoking encounter between Jesus and a wealthy young man. 

This episode, recorded in Mark 10:17–31, raises questions about discipleship, wealth, and the true cost of following Christ. 

For Catholics, it is a passage that challenges our values and compels us to reflect on our own lives and priorities.
