How do we live today? Are we occupied with looking for a well-paying job, saving, planning and in entertainment? How are we called to live? Is it really true that we have to be so detached that the world and its affairs don’t matter? Should we stop looking for well-paying jobs? Should young couples forget about saving to buy a house? Is it not right to make financial provisions for our children’s education? Should we refuse to plan holidays, book tickets in advance, dress in style, sign up for further education? If we are called to be austere in our ways, how do we ensure that our austerity does not impinge on our God given responsibilities and obligations?

CFCI for Life
“Pray as if everything depends on God, work as if everything depends on you.”
This is a very famous saying attributed to St. Ignatius. It applies to many things in life. One of those things are applying for jobs and appearing for interviews. I have been to a few interviews in my career and have fared quite successfully in most of them. I must acknowledge God’s role in that and all the people who have fasted and prayed for me. However, that accounts for only the ‘pray’ part of St. Ignatius’s wise words. The focus of this article is on the latter part of that saying, the ‘work’ part.
The Mystery of being a Christian
‘A good Christian is mysterious and he is mysterious because he is amphibious. He lives in two worlds. He is at his best when he leads a double life, at once both human and divine.’ Now I cannot really say I have been living this kind of a lifestyle, but being in the seminary, I have definitely got a slight taste of what this is all about, not so much by me living this out, but by being surrounded by real good Christians.
The Inspirational Catholic
God created us for a purpose and plan of His. Some of us work at a firm, some doctors, some engineers and some others who are called to be priest. But do we do our work giving our 100% as God wants us to? Who do you think God appreciates more?
Excess Baggage
Do you know how it feels to carry 100kgs of weight on your shoulders? Have you tried it? What comes to mind when you think of it? How do you think you would feel if you were forced to do so? How many of you think it is impossible?
Why me Lord?
I have so many times asked this to God when things just don’t go right., Why would He want me to SUFFER…? Is God's plan for me to go through this ordeal? Why?
Who me? Are you sure God?
It is never easy to say “YES” to the call of God. Have you ever experienced, when you are called to do something in response to God’s calling, the first question that comes to mind is, am I worthy? Do I have that ability? Most importantly…THE TIME? Doubt is what we are filled with.
