Dearest friends, another person sent a serious concern on this same issue of FORGIVENESS. Let me still quote him verbatim but I also attached his comment to this post: ย โThis forgiveness of a thing is the reason why Muslims are killing Christians everywhere.” Indeed, the above is a serious concern but then, the question is:
Dearest friends, it is quite obvious that Jesus’ teaching on *FORGIVENESS* does not seem to appeal to many Christians, both Pastors and their members.

And equally thank the Blessed Virgin Mary, for fulfilling her promises of those who pray the Holy
Dearest friends, the Scriptures rightly made us to understand that what God has prepared for those who LOVE him is actually โwhat eyes have not seen, nor ears heard nor has it been conceived in the heart of man’ย (cf. 1 Cor 2:9). I really want to get such reward after my earthly life and I
Normally, the Major Seminarians of the Roman Catholic Church enjoy about two months holiday (or even more) before the beginning of a new Academic/Formation year. The Apostolic work period cannot be said to be part of the holiday because it is a continuation of the formation year which eventually ends with the reunion with the
