                    [Summary] => It is now the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time and today’s gospel reading comes from Mark 9:38-43,45,47-48. In this gospel our Lord Jesus teaches his disciples certain basic characteristics that we must possess so that when we are truly blessed to enter eternal life in heaven, we can do so without regrets.

                    [Summary] => 

This might seem to be too religious or spiritual a topic to be taken up in the secular press. But I however believe that we should dismantle that mistaken attitude, because prayer and fasting, especially nowadays when our spiritual and moral conditions have worsened, have actually become most urgently relevant.

I would say that when temptations come, the first thing we have to do is to immediately go to God, to run to him, to stick to him as closely as possible. That's simply because God is our rock and fortress, the ultimate source of strength. Missing this reaction, we open ourselves to a long, tortuous episode that can end badly.

It's important that we know exactly what to do in Lent which is a very special season in the liturgical year. It is supposed to identify us more closely with Christ who, as our redeemer and perfecter of our humanity, shows us precisely how to face the many trials and challenges in our life.

We need to know how to handle our temptations and falls. In these days of massive confusion, many people do not know how to deal with them such that they fall into all sorts of predicaments that many times are useless, unnecessary or of little importance, like sadness, depression and discouragement.
