Photo by Kindel Media Use Your Talents to Glorify God Talent is a word that means natural aptitude or skill. The dictionary also uses the following synonyms in describing talent: flair, gift, knack, and technique to name just four. In today’s society, we can find stories about people who have been lucky enough not only to find their calling but also to make it big with what they do best! This can be your story too when you use your talents to glorify God. The Parable of the Talents In the Bible, we are introduced to three servants who got five, two, and one talent respectively by their master before he went on a journey. The servant who got five talents went ahead and multiplied it. The one who he gave two also multiplied it, but the third servant was bitter about his single talent, so he hid it away. In fact, the Bible says he buried it. This angered the master when he came back and realized that no progress had been made. The parable of the talents gives us an important insight into being satisfied with what we have been gifted. It also shows how God will judge our actions at the end. The master who in this story represents God was so pleased he gave the first servant more talents. The master also multiplied the talents of the man who had two talents but he became enraged at the man who buried his talent. The man with the one talent saw his talent taken away and given to the man with five talents. Imagine how upset he must have been and how delighted the servant with the five talents must have felt. Success in life is a natural product of the work you do. We are given our gifts to grow and multiply them, but this requires that we keep working at improving them. Doing great things doesn’t always come easy but this parable reminds everyone how much potential for success lies within each one of us. It starts with self-confidence which will eventually show itself through a strong work ethic. When it comes to our legacy, the most important thing is that we make a difference. So at the end of our lives, we should be able to say God was glorified in what he gave us. Use What You Have God gives each of us gifts and talents in as much proportion as we can handle, so it is important not to focus on what others have and you don’t. Instead, build and multiply what you have been given. The servant was quite capable of multiplying the one talent that he had been given but he made fear and jealousy at what the others were given get in his way and he lost everything. Jealousy should be avoided at all costs because it blinds us to our own special gifts and talents. When we are grateful for what we have and try to use our skills to the best of our ability this is when we succeed. Use Your Talents This parable prompts us to self-examination. Perhaps it is time, you took that painting class or that course in hospitality management? Zone in on your gifts and use your talent to glorify God. When you do this you will inevitably see a multiplication of your supply and you will even unearth other hidden talents you may not have known about! This is how the blessings of God work!

Photo by Pablo Santiago Saints of the Eucharist: 5 Saints Who Ate Only the Eucharist What is the Eucharist? The Eucharist refers to the Holy Communion. It is also commonly known as the Body and the Blood of Christ. The Eucharist is celebrated in commemoration of when Jesus fed His disciples bread and wine during the Last Supper, to show His sacrifice before. The Eucharist serves as an act of thanksgiving to God and the redemption and sanctification of sins. There are some true Saints of the Eucharist who only fed on the it till their death. Here are some of them. Saints of the Eucharist St. Joseph of Cupertino. St. Joseph was born in 1603 in Cupertino where he devoted his childhood and adulthood to living a life that was simple and innocent. He joined the Franciscan Friars Minor Conventual, where he was later ordained as a priest. He lived a strictly religious life and only fed on the Eucharist. St. Nicholas of Flue. St. Nicholas was born in 1417 in Switzerland. He was married and had ten children with his wife. He dedicated his life to serving the Lord and spent long periods of time fasting and contemplative praying. He stopped feeding on anything but the Holy Communion, not even water, for over twenty years. He died in 1487 at the age of seventy. St. Catherine of Siena St. Catherine was born in 1347 in Siena, Italy. She joined the Third Order of St. Dominic, where she was allowed to be an associate of the religious society while staying at her parent’s house. She always helped people in need. She loved fasting and only fed on the Eucharist for over 25 years as a sign of purity. St. Lidwina of Holland St. Lidwina was born in 1380 in Scheidam, Holland. At the age of 15 while ice skating, she fell and broke her ribs and become progressively sick. This was when she started fasting continuously and decided to live her life serving God. She stopped feeding completely and only fed on the Holy Communion as a sign of holiness and redemption till her death in 1433. St. Angela of Foligno St. Angela was born in 1248 in Foligno. She fell in love with the Lord at the age of 40. She dedicated her life to serving the Lord and the poor as a nurse and helped the beggars. She decided to live a holy life and fed on nothing but the Holy Eucharist till her death in 1310. These Saints were some of the few that only depended on the Holy Communion for survival. They dedicated their lives to serving the Lord and the people of the places they lived. They will be forever remembered because of the changes that they brought to the Catholic Church and Christianity at large. These Saints of the Eucharist have shown us that there is something beautiful behind the Eucharist and that we should strive to live our lives with humility and purity of heart. Each time we take the Eucharist it is a reminder of how much Jesus loved us. We should mark each experience with prayer, contemplation and gratitude for the love Jesus has for us. [...] Read more...
Holy Face of Jesus Prayer The Holy Face of Jesus Prayer is the most powerful prayer for emotional and physical healing on earth and yet so many have never heard of it! if this is the first time you have heard of the devotion or if you have never taken the time to learn about it, now is the time to find out more about it. Here is a look at 5 reasons why it is in fact the most powerful prayer for healing available to you. 1. Devotion to the Holy Face was Started by Jesus Himself Between the years of 1843-1847, a Carmelite nun named Sister Marie began having a series of visions of Jesus in which she received revelations. During these revelations, Jesus told her that he would like to establish devotion to His Holy Face worldwide. 2. Holy Face of Jesus Prayer Miracles In the 1800s this devotion brought so many healing miracles that the humble lawyer, named Louis Dupont who hosted the miraculous image of the Holy Face in his home was called by Pope Pius IX “the greatest miracle worker of his time”. Venerable Leo Dupont Mr. Dupont kept a lamp burning in front of the image and the thousands who prayed before it received healing. Some even anointed themselves with the oil from the lamp. 3. The Devotion Appeals to the Mercy of the Father The devotion makes reparation for the blasphemies that were being committed all over the world against his Holy name. The devotion is also a way for everyone to appeal to the Father for whatever they needed. Jesus told Sister Marie that the devotion would be so powerful, it would be a means by which the devotee could solve any problem they faced, and that the devotion would be enough to settle all the problems of their household. 4. The Main Prayers Glorify Jesus The devotion consisted of two major prayers. The first Holy Face of Jesus prayer is “The Golden Arrow Prayer”. The second one is the “Litany to the Holy Face”. These prayers are powerful because they glorify Jesus and the mercy that He showed by suffering on the cross. 5. It Prevented a Revolution and Caused a Public Miracle In 1849, Pope Pius IX grew increasingly concerned about the Papal States due to an ongoing revolution that threatened to undermine the sovereignty of the church. Veronica’s Veil He decreed that the faithful should offer public prayers in all the churches in Rome. As part of the appeal for God’s mercy, a three-day exposition was held in which a relic of Veronica’s veil which captures Jesus’ face on the road to Calvary was exposed in St. Peter’s Basilica, in order for the faithful to venerate it. On the third day of the showing, the veil began to glow. A soft light emanated from it and the face of Jesus on the relic became extremely distinct. The Pope ordered the bells in the Basilica to be rung and large crowds of people began to gather in the Basilica, and they all witnessed the miracle. For three hours the face of Jesus could be seen and the light continued to emanate from the veil. Artists began to capture the image on canvas and later these images were touched to the veil and sent out to the faithful in different parts of the world so that they could venerate it. This became a custom in the Vatican for many years. [...] Read more...

Catholic Bible Verses about Faith, Hope, and Love Life is filled with many ups and downs. These are moments when we need to rely on God even more, and the Bible contains many scriptures that can help us get through any situation. Here are five Catholic bible verses about faith, hope, and love that are sure to help you find peace during any trial. 5 Catholic Bible Verses about Faith Hope and Love Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?” Sometimes we worry more than we pray. God wants us to stop worrying and start praying for a change! Worrying doesn’t serve any purpose in our lives, other than filling up each second with fear. What you should do is pray instead. Prayer does have benefits- it brings peace that can only come from giving your worries over into God’s hands completely trusting him no matter what happens. John 11:14-15 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead and for your sake, I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe.” Lazarus had been dead for four days and sisters despaired that Jesus had taken too long to come. When Jesus finally arrived they witnessed a miracle in the form of Lazarus coming back to life again. This happened so that not only could people learn about Christianity from this event; but also give our faith renewed strength. You may feel that God has delayed your deliverance from a situation for too long. Remember, he’s never late and the delays are necessary to give us strength in our trials so we can pass them with flying colors! Psalm 91: 1-3 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.” .Do not be afraid! All you have to do is trust in the Lord and he will deliver you from anything that wants to bring despair or misery into our lives. He protects us as long as we rest securely upon him, knowing his peace which surpasses all understanding awaits for those who commit themselves fully to Him. Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.” You might be feeling sad, and torn up over something that happened in your life. Maybe you haven’t been able to eat or sleep and you just want someone who knows what they’re going through! Jesus will always have a shoulder for us when we need one – even if those times include deep grief. Prov. 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” The passage invites us to imagine how we would feel if our loved ones didn’t trust us. It’s easy enough to imagine for those who have experienced this type of betrayal or rejection. It is even more painful for God when we have confidence issues because God loves everyone so much that He wants their best! If we truly understood what trusting Him will provide, then ultimately no matter where life takes us we would have confidence at all times. The Benefits of Catholic Bible Verses Catholics are often accused of not knowing the Bible well enough. However, this should never be the case. It’s good to have scriptures to refer to so that we can remember the goodness of God. Catholic bible verses about faith, hope, and love are present all throughout scripture these five are prime examples of why we should always place our trust in God.
