Being a slave to sin seems to be the normal. Everybody is judging and condemn others when we are only suppose to enlighten one another.

THEY SAY, ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed,’ and I think that captures the essence of real friendship – that ability to consider someone with a need more a friend than someone who’s ‘fine’ by themselves. After all, from the healthiest viewpoint, we all like to be needed; it’s healthy so long as there is a high degree of reciprocation. It’s no good us being too needy or not being needy enough. Most of friendship, however, is not about neediness at all.

Introduction to who we should pray to. The important point being is to just begin to pray.

Chalcedony or Calcedony can be considered as an individual crystal type as well as a family or group name, or catch all term that includes many well known varieties of cryptocrystalline quartz gemstones; each of these has its own distinct characteristics that allow it to stand apart. Chalcedony is a fibrous cryptocrystalline form of silica with very fine intergrowths of Quartz; it is a semi precious stone that occurs in many shapes and can assume a wide range of colours, but those most commonly seen are white to grey, greyish-blue or a shade of brown ranging from pale to nearly black. It is a dense, more or less translucent stone, with a wax like lustre. It occurs in sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks.

Catholic spiritual growth includes building relationships and forming communities. We are called to live as members of God’s family. If your vocation is to marriage and family life, one task that the Church gives you is to build an authentic community of persons. But what practical steps can we take to accomplish this important task? This article will describe the powerful step of instilling ritual into your family life and how these rituals can increase a sense of community togetherness in your family.

Though it’s not a documented fact, it’s fairly safe to say that there are as many crystals as there are colours that represent them. The lore of each type of crystal and its innate healing assets has been passed down from generation to generation, and similar to Chinese medicine shops that specialize in herbal mixtures for remedies of all kinds of ailments, crystals also have distinct yet delicate healing and enhancement facilities. Wondering which crystal to choose for a specific need? Below is a list of several of the most widely used crystals, and the main purposes for their application: Amethyst – (purple/violet) – This crystal strengthens the endocrine and immune system, and it is also a powerful blood cleanser and energizer. In addition, it helps relieve mental distress and disorders and enhances psychic and channeling abilities. The Amethyst crystal is very calming, and therefore it’s an excellent crystal to use for meditation.

There is a saying that “Everyone wants to save the world but no one wants to help mama with the dishes.” Saving the world is a good idea, and it would be great if someone could wave a magic wand and do it. But, as we all know, it is not that simple. And that is the problem. The modern world has become vastly complex, yet modern humans demand uncomplicated answers and quick solutions. We love shortcuts and the easy road to success.

Introduction to why God wants us to pray. Communicating with God is two fold, one for our sake and one for His sake.

In past articles, I have mentioned the Mother Goddess but never really elaborated on who she is. It is time to begin the process of becoming acquainted with her, so the focus for this month’s article is: The Great Mother Goddess.

God ensured it was YOU who was conceived, and by natural or even artificial conception, you won a race of one in 15,000,000 to claim the prize of life as your own. Nine months before you breathed your first breath you won your first race – your biggest triumph – and God was there cheering you on, having designed in his perfect plan that you would be the winner! It was the first time that God’s plan and your faithfulness to follow God’s plan came together. And you weren’t even required to ‘be’ there. God was already showing you favour.

People can say to us, “Self-rejection is a sin,” but it doesn’t help, because it only makes us feel worse. We are the last ones who want to self-reject; and we are horrified to learn we are sinning when we do it; it’s bad enough as it is. The greatest spiritual trap is turned on its head when we consider that risking even enough to accept ourselves, notwithstanding anything we do, whilst feeling contrite when it’s appropriate, is the key to the spiritual life.

You can benefit from crystals just by placing them around your home and workplace. These can be casually located around the place, or perhaps you might choose to place them on your desk, or you could create a personal sacred or special place just for you and your crystals. Creating a special life enhancing space where you can work and play with your crystals is both beneficial and fun. This same space is also favourable for meditation. The location for this space may be a desk at work or at home, or a room or your entire home, and it may be temporary or permanent. Here is how you can go about creating your special space.
