 | "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Heb 11.1). | |
"Est autem fides sperando rum substantia, rerum argu mentum non apparentium" (Hebraeos 11.1); it is also "a treasure of life which is enriched by being shared" (CCC 949). We have to become bridges for each other, which is one intent of this site. We are not however limited by the written word; action as is often said, speaks louder than words. "What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can this faith save him? If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead" (Jas 2.14-17). I commence with the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi..."Make me, O Lord, an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen."Thanks for visiting my Multiply site!

Feel free to post a reply if you see something you like or just want to get in touch.Prayer Before Logging Onto the Internet (by Fr. John T. Zuhlsdorf):
Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thy image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thy only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee that, through the intercession of St. Isidore, bishop and doctor, during our journeys through the Internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

If you ask someone to write an article or a report, chances are a word-processor (OpenOffice, Word, etc.) will be used. Of course they offer the WYSIWYG convenience of instant gratification. But there's a pitfall: formatting. This... more | Video | |

When I first heard of the TV series Lost , I wasn't interested because I thought it was one of those "reality" shows that invaded the TV years ago. A few days ago, a cousin lent me the 25-episode series (first season) and I was curious and started... more | |  | Links | |
