Today’s first reading is the story from Daniel of the three in the fiery furnace. Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego would not worship a statue and had faith in God that they would be saved.

If it were only that easy. The Catholic Church has the sacrament of reconciliation where a person can be forgiven of…
OT means ordinary time. Today’s first reading is from 2Samuel 12. David sinned and God punished him by bringing sickness on his child. David fasts and sleeps on the ground in sackcloth, but I kept reading the story and the baby dies. Sometimes thing don’t work out in my life, but as the gospel reminds…
