    Does chicken soup help to cure a cold?

    I know this is a little bit on the silly side but I hear so many people assert that chicken soup is good for a cold and even famous people on TV have books and tv show segments with titles like "chicken soup for the soul" so it makes you wonder a little why we have so many of these sorts of...

    (No Debate) I did an experiment.

    I did an experiment, not exactly planned but remembered results and comparing them to see what's what. I prayed. First in a protestant sort of way to God without invoking any of the saints. Second I prayed asking Blessed Mary for her prayers to the Lord our God as well as praying to God...

    Why don't you door knock evangelise?

    Going from house to house to evangelise in your neighbourhood with friends from your church (for safety's sake and according to the example of the disciples that Jesus sent) seems like a Christian way to do evangelism. Jesus sent out disciples out two by two to all the towns and cities in Judah...

    Hunger and thirst after ...

    Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. (Matthew 5:6)] If blessed means happy or something similar then why are so many Christians miserable at the prospect of living a righteous life, as if living in righteousness was just to darned hard to do...

    You made your bed now you must lie in it.

    Some Christians appear to think that the warnings about judgement and condemnation in the holy scriptures do not apply to them because they reckon that Jesus died for them and they are saved entirely by what Jesus did on the cross (and possibly in life and after the resurrection too). Well is...

    Apart from works of the Law!

    Saint Paul wrote some convoluted prose and expresses some ideas in language that people have a hard time figuring out. It is almost as if he has ideas welling up in his mind and flowing out onto the page at a rate that his words cannot match. Saint Peter warned that some of what Paul wrote is...

    Shine Jesus Shine.

    There's a chorus - a sort of minihymn - where the lyric "shine Jesus shine" is repeated. Now that got me to thinking. Jesus said "I am the light of the world" Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall have the...

    The salt of the Earth.

    Christians are to be the salt of the Earth. Some say that means Christians are to act like salt for preservation of meat and fish for use in times of scarcity. But in what way can Christians preserve things for times of scarcity? And is preservation really the idea in what Jesus said? Matthew...

    The Memory of Power.

    In the world power is about leadership and dominance, or it has been so for many centuries even if that may be changing now. But Jesus, calling them, said to them: “You know that those who seem to be leaders among the Gentiles dominate them, and their leaders exercise authority over them. (Mark...

    The Holy Eucharist is the body and the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ it is also his soul and divinity so in receiving it/him one receives the Word of God made flesh (under the appearance of bread and wine) which our Lord taught is to receive Life. In Catholic practise one fasts before receiving...
