The Christmas Collision During the summer of 1977 I was in the front seat of my friend’s car as we were out for a drive, listening to some music at a pretty high volume.

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Mar 1, 2003

Transfiguration Sunday: What a sight they saw! But in His transfiguration, the disciples, and we, can see the magnitude of the sacrifice on the Cross and how it is far superior to the work of the Law and the Prophets.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the ...read more

Giving

Contributed by Paul Kallan on Jan 4, 2003

When life does not flow to others through us, there is no giving. When we begin to give as God gives Himself, God fills us with more of His life. God is God because He gives Himself.

A story that Theodor Schnitzler, an erstwhile parish priest of Cologne, narrates, explains the nature of a gift. Those were the days of hunger and misery soon after the World War II.
