Gather Each week we GATHER together to worship God, fellowship with believers, build community, and get encouraged and equipped to share our faith with others.

One must not think that a person who is suffering is not praying. He is offering up his sufferings to God, and many a time he is praying much more truly than one who goes away by himself and meditates his head off, and, if he has squeezed out a few tears, thinks that is prayer. ~ St. Teresa of Avila

Celebrate the feast of Christmas every day, even every moment in the interior temple of your spirit, remaining like a baby in the bosom of the heavenly Father, where you will be reborn each moment in the Divine Word, Jesus Christ. ~ St. Paul of the Cross

Never read books you aren't sure about . . . even supposing that these bad books are very well written from a literary point of view. Let me ask you this: Would you drink something you knew was poisoned just because it was offered to you in a golden cup? ~ St. John Bosco

The principal act of courage is to endure and withstand dangers doggedly rather than to attack them. ~ St. Thomas Aquinas

I cant stop praying for poor sinners who are on the road to hell. If they come to die in that state, they will be lost for all eternity. What a pity! We have to pray for sinners! Praying for sinners is the most beautiful and useful of prayers because the just are on the way to heaven, the souls of purgatory are sure to enter there, but the poor sinners will be lost forever. All devotions are good but there is no better one than such prayer for sinners. ~ St. John Vianney

There are times when He Himself allows terrible sufferings, and then again there are times when He does not let me suffer and removes everything that might afflict my soul. These are His ways , unfathomable and incomprehensible to us. It is for us to submit ourselves completely to His holy will. There are mysteries that the human mind will never fathom here on earth; eternity will reveal them. ~ Saint Faustina

SAINTS  In the Roman Catholic Church, the title ‘Saint’ is given to a person who has been formally canonized (recognized) by the Catholic Church and is believed to be already in Heaven. Canonization is a lengthy process and can take many years, decades or even centuries. In the canonization process, a thorough investigation of the life of the candidate is done. Only after the application is approved can the candidate be given the title ‘Venerable’ which could lead to his or her beatification, making the candidate ‘Blessed’. In order to be formally declared as a ‘Saint’, at least two approved miracles are required. Why We Venerate Saints We don’t worship them, but we do venerate them by having days dedicated to them. We hope to honor their memory by creating images and statues of them, to serve as an inspiration for all of us to follow. We hope to imitate their holiness. We ask them to pray for us, not to replace Our Lord Jesus Christ as the mediator between man and God the Fa

Careers Open To a Young Man in India We live in a highly complicated as well as organize society. Its ever-increasing needs can only be met by expert or specialized knowledge. The specialist is in very great demand today and has rare opportunities for self-advancement. This has created variety of new openings for our young men and women. Formerly a clerk was a sort of a general assistant who was useful for all types of office work. Now there has to be a stenographer, a typist, an accountant optometrist, etc. in a factory there is the lathe man, the mechanic, the technical expert. There was a time, when a college lecture could take classes in two or three subjects: now such a state of things is unthinkable. Thus the modern young man has a range of choice which has father could not dream of. The engineer, the administrative officer, and the clerk, - these were the profession which were open to our fathers. Today each one of these has a number of subordinate departments offering one a var

The Use of Electricity in Daily Life When Benjamin Franklin proved the connection of lightning with electricity, he paved the way for researches that have led to the harnessing of the greatest power in nature so far known to the services of mankind, and thus conferring on the human race incalculable benefits. For we cannot imagine the modern world without electricity. In almost every town worth the name, the residence of almost every citizen is at least lighted by electricity; and in many of them, in a tropical country, it is used to drive the fans in the hot days. Some use electric cooking ranges in their kitchen; this is ever so convenient since it does not produce ashes or soot, and its heat can be regulated according to necessity. Electric bells are now usual in offices, in educational institutions, and in many private homes. Rich people air-condition their rooms with the help of electric power. Refrigerators for the storage of food are becoming more and more common; they help in s

The Problem of Nationalities in India The British always denied that India was a nation, because they did not like people to develop a sense of national unity. What semblance of unity of the people had, they said, was due to the influence of the British. They went so far as against this, the finest minds of India nationality was a production of the British language. As against this, the finest minds of India vigorously maintained that India had always been a nation that underlying the manifold diversities of race of language, there had always been a sense of fundamental unity. As this contradiction of opinions gives rise to many perplexing political problems, it is necessary to get a correct idea of what constitutes a nation. On the subject of nationality, it is commonly held that nation hood depends on a vague feeling or sentiment, that it has no objective reality. A people becomes a nation when it feels it is one. But his is too vague and almost begs the question. Against this Dr.

Easy On Tourism in India Historical associations and geographical gifts have made India a paradise for tourists. Indeed, india has received nature’s bounty. There are scenic sports on hills and sea-sides that are matchless. Besides, there are historical sights like sree Rangapattam of Tipu Sultan in Mysore, Khosbag and Hazar Duari in Murshidabad in Bengal, fort William of Calcutta, the spot on the river daya where Emperor Ashoka fought the battle of kalings, chitore in Rajputana with memories of Rana Pratap and many more such noted places. Foreign tourists feel much more interested in visiting and going round archaeological sites like the Taj of Agra, fields of kurukshetra, Hastinapur, (Old Delhi) Kutub Minar and Hymayun Tomb of Delhi, Asoka Pillar of Allahabad, the Sun observatory of Jaipur, the Caves of Elephanta off Bombay, Ajanta and Elora (Maharastra), Khajurahs, (Madhya Pradesh), the Stupa of Sanchi (Madhya Pradesh), the char minar of secendrabad etc. besides, India is ver

Dowry System The custom of giving dowry i.e. big presentation as also cash money, at the time of the marriage of the bride is a very ancient custom. According to fundamentalists (supporters of old values and the Shastras), this dowry is nothing but the alimony or money giving at a time for the future maintenance of the bride in her Father-in-law’s house. But the reformers looked upon the dowry as a social fine. So in almost every family the girl-child, even the other day, was relegated (lowered) to a secondary position. In some of the stories of Rabindra Nath Sarat Chandra Like Dena-pawna and parinita the bride of the house is made to feel at every step that she has committed a crime in being born as a girl. Fortunately, the attitude is undergoing a change. Yet dowry or cash is even now, when the society has far-advanced, rules the marriage settlement. Dowry or cash is now demanded in a different form. It is sometimes for furnishing the chamber of law-practicing son-in-law or the disp

Science in the Modern World There was a time when the scientist in Europe was looked upon with fear and suspicion. He was the alchemist, the magician. He was supposed to deal in evil things with the help of evil forces. He was persecuted by the Church and the State. But gradually the situation changed, until today in the twentieth century. Science has become a highly regarded profession like Law or Teaching. Science has become the fundamental basis of medicine, engineering and technology, this has possibly given the modern scientist a sort of privileged status in society. He stands somewhat aloof from the rest of the society, dedicated to the pursuit of things beyond the under-standing of ordinary people. Science has become an exclusive profession which needs long years of training and apprenticeship. And yet science is different from other professions. Unlike the others, the scientist can demand no immediate reward for his work; he has no ready market for the disposal of his discover

Democracy and India Democracy is the rule of the people. It is ‘government of the people for the people, by the people’. It recognizes the paramountcy of the people’s will. Vox populi vox dei: ’the voice of the people is the voice of god’. This will is expressed through the accredited and elected representatives of the people sitting in parliament. In a true democracy even the powers and jurisdiction of these representatives are strictly limited and defined by a constitution, which again cannot be altered or amended except through rigid procedural process. In other words, every effort is made to prevent the accumulation of owner in the hands of any particular individual or group. It follows that the proper functioning of democracy depends upon its electoral system, through which the people can make its will operative. Elections must be brad-based on adult franchises, so that every man and woman having attained majority is entitled to a vote. Any limitation on the nature of the elector
