How to Evangelize?
On Jan 13th, Fr. Dwight Longenecker @dlongenecker1 wrote 10 Reasons Why Catholics Don’t Evangelize. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/standingonmyhead/2016/01/ten-reasons-why-catholics-dont-evangelize.html I think his #6 Ignorance, or (I think) feeling ignorant, is really the main reason why Catholics don’t evangelize. At least, ignorance will explain the other 9 points. However, the article screams out another question: How do we actually evangelize? […]

Understanding the Doctrine of Trinity through Mathematics
It has been a little while since I last posted something here. I started taking a program in September at St. Peter’s Seminary in London, Ontario and am enjoying it very much. One session of the program back in October was on the topic of the doctrine of Trinity. It was mentioned then that there were […]

“Through Him, and with Him, and in Him”
“Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honour is yours, for ever and ever. Amen.” When I attended mass as a young child, I often waited for the Eucharistic prayer to be done, so as to get to the Communion […]

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…. Well, it’s also great time to stay indoors and read when the temperature soars. I recently picked up a book written by Anne Costa. It’s titled “Embracing Edith Stein” with a subtitle “Wisdom For Women from St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross.” I must say I enjoyed reading it […]

A lot of research tends to find a formula or prove a mathematical statement that describes how certain numbers behave on paper and off the paper, to find the “truth” about numbers even when they are outside our normal human comprehension. I still […]

God’s Message from Outer Space!
1 I love God’s sense of humour. So, the most exciting picture of the day is one transmitted from NASA’s New Horizon-a picture taken 5 million miles away from Pluto, showing a heart-shaped area on the image of Pluto. http://www.cnet.com/news/aw-nasa-probe-spies-plutos-heart-as-flyby-begins/ We, Catholics, like to see God in everything. In this case, indulge […]

A Magnificent Domino Trick
I came across one YouTube video on domino effect yesterday. https://youtu.be/ARM42-eorzE It’s amazing how one can set up domino tiles so that that the falling of a single small piece can lead to amazing consequences. In this particular video and its accompanying one, a simple marble was set in motion. As it moves, it leads […]

The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist
CARA, the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Gerogetown University, has been studying the Catholic church and conducting surveys for years. By analyzing the statistics, CARA recently published what average American Catholics are like, their attitudes towards their definition of being Catholic, their habits and their beliefs. http://americamagazine.org/issue/your-average-american-catholic According to their statistics, 45% […]

The Power of Hymns
When I was a university student and was volunteering at the Music ministry on campus, I had no clue on how one should pick the hymns for mass. I had no mentors on this and as the students come and go for the Catholic community on campus, no one seemed to pay attention to the […]

This disaster of a magnitude of 7.8Mw caused an avalanche on Mount Everest, mudslides, the destructions of landmarks, and forced hundreds and thousands of people from their homes.
