My 7yo daughter left a letter by the cross in our prayer corner. She wrote: "Dear Jesus, Holy Mass is always so boring... is there another way to praise and worship you?" How would you handle this? Also, she asked Jesus himself, should I even react at all?

I am a convert from a protestant background. I grew up going to a CSI (Church of South India) church, which was a mix of presbyterian, methodist, and various other reformed churches. After the sunday service we used to always have a tea fellowship, getting to interact and social…

"Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you." - Matthew 5:42 I live in a big city where panhandlers are at every corner and not all of them are homeless. Some even admit that they ask because people will give, and they stand in front of church…
