SIGN OF THE CROSS
We believe that when we make the SIGN OF THE CROSS we are Catholic. Why is it like that? Because, what our parents and catechists taught us to do in the church or before and after prayer and meals? There is a proper answer if we say it’s the sign of catholic, it’s quite right but it doesn’t reveal all the truth in it. We do it because we are the follower of Christ who obeys his commands such as “love the Lord with all your heart with all your...

His words are really good for the thirsting Soul; he shows with the truth answers. For...

when I saw a Cashier talking to a boy...
I Refuseeeeeeeeeeeeee..........
I REFUSE.... I refuse to be discouraged,
To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted,
and here's the reason why:
I have a God who's mighty,
Who's sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who loves me,
and I am on His team.
He is all-wise and powerful.
God is His name;
Though everything is changeable,
My God remains the same.
My God knows all that's happening;
Beginning to the end;
His presence is my comfort;
He is my dearest Friend.
