This is a folklore that started in the 1500’s when a group of nuns wanted to acquire more land. They prayed to St Joseph and buried some metals of him in the ground. They believed their [...]
Are we to always be WORRIED, ANXIOUS and INSECURE about the many ‘what if’s’ of life. Does it require any FAITH to live in the SAFE or COMFORT zone taking no RISKS?

Is speaking the TRUTH OFFENSIVE? Wasn’t people offended by what JESUS and His DISCIPLES said during their times? So many people were angry and mad at Jesus when He spoke the ‘TRUTH’, so much so that they tried to physically attack and KILL HIM.
