End of the world

We have reached the end of the Church calendar and commemorated All Souls Day. Today, we reflect on the end of the world.

Why Jesus praised the poor widow

Jesus Christ in the Sunday gospel praises the poor widow who drops two small copper coins, equivalent to a few centavos,  in the temple treasury, unlike the others who “put in their surplus money” (Mk 12,43).

Making account of our life

There’s a true story of an elderly American couple, Larry and Betty Bartells.

Servant leadership

Once a priest was complaining why his bishop kept naming “monsignors” in his diocese.

Money, root of all evils?

“How hard it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God” (Mk 10,25).
The words of Jesus sounds shocking and threatening for the rich. What does the Lord mean? Does he mean that the affluent are almost impossible to enter the Kingdom of God? On the other hand, are the poor necessarily privileged to enter his Kingdom?
