God Wants To Talk To You

Today we read from Proverbs 8 about "Wisdom" and try and decipher if it about Jesus or just Ancient scripture putting a poetic spin on the virtue of Wisdom.

Today while doing my Rosary online I realized that my favorite Rosary You Tube Channel had just made all their videos shorter. Why did they do this? My guess is the shorter the videos the more clicks they get. So I found a bunch of Verses from the Gospels that show the priority that Jesus put on his daily prayer. Also many verses from the both the old and new testaments about praying and we discus...

Today we read from Matthew 27 about the final moments of Jesus Life as he hung on the cross. Being Mocked, Spit on, laughed at and how just before he died he cried out from Psalm 22.

Sin not committed by hi...
