The Gospel of Heaven, the Gospel of Love(On the Evangelistic Evangelization)

Our Gospel, the biggest piece of good news for the whole world, provides us all with the hope of salvation.
The said(most beautiful) fact may, unfortunately, be the source of accusations made by some thinkers toward believers:
"You, Christians, care only for heaven while it is this world that suffers a lot" – it's often heard. In some sense just-mentioned materialistic philosophers are right(as the faithful shall focus mainly on God & His Domain), still they seem to overlook a very important point: Every heaven-taker shall be, through the imitation of Christs' deeds for poor, blind, and crippled people, a love-giver first.

All You Need Is Love

The truth, whether we like it or not, is here. One can deny this fact, but – regardless of her/his efforts – reality will remind of itself on each and every occasion. One of these is, undoubtedly, the discussion on human life. Pro-choice folks often tell us about the tragic future of disabled children & their poor mothers. The same people claim that, instead of imposing religious believe on someone, society should prevent women from “the consequences” of so-called unwanted pregnancies. However sophisticated their arguments may be, they seem to overlook the fact that we, Christians, do not impose anything on anybody, but rather remind some that the world without children & unselfish love has no future at all.

The Gentlest Hands

Our Lady of Knock, pray for us all to Christ!

Have you ever noticed the specific gesture of the Blessed Virgin Mary that has been observed during Her apparition in Knock, Ireland? The hands of Our Lady - who had appeared in this Irish village along with the Lamb of God, St John & St Joseph on August 21st, 1879 - were raised as in the Eucharistic offering. Thus, without any doubt, we may say that not only Mary does not compete with Her Son for the human attention. On the contrary, she is both the greatest adorer of Christ and the Mediatrix of His abundant Eucharistic graces.

The Dreamer

Most of us live in the facebook-shaped culture that is full of “likes”,”wants”, “needs”....

We all may have dreams, still there is the Dreamer whose needs shall be respected in the first place.

I speak of Jesus, Who, whatever you may think of this, dreams that He may see you in heaven someday.

Behold, Your Mother

Mary consoles some distressed New Yorkers(courtesy of the BBC)

Why does the Blessed Virgin Mary should be respected? Why – as we believe – She, together with Her Son and under His authority, will triumph over the evil spirit? In my opinion answers to just-posed questions are as clear as the passion of Christ and the fact that none of the gifts – including the gift of Christ's Mother – of the Cross can ever be wasted.

His Way

Jesus has courage to come to us through Mary – that is an obvious fact. Something special had to be in her if He did this that way, providing us all with the opportunity of salvation.

Today, though, instead of looking for Mary's guidance & help – that is to be united with Messiah, emulating His choices - many tries to "save" their souls choosing “own way to heaven”. Some of them may be proud of being Christians, but – despite of their good intentions – they are not humble enough to admit that the best way that leads to Christ is the one that He himself revealed to us.

Until the End of Time

Today, as the Church is suffering both from its internal problems and external attacks, we all may ask ourselves: is there something that, despite of lukewarmness of some believers and passionate offenses of many godless people, can keep our hope alive? No, there is not such a thing, still there is Somebody: I speak of Jesus Who, whether we believe it or not, loves His Church more than She can love Him in return.
