I have previously written on how we never know when that person we help (or don't help as the case may be) might be Jesus. Like we are told in Matthew 25:45: "Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me." But did …

Things that make you want to go Hmmm
Do you ever see something that just makes you say Hmm? The first reading for today’s Mass is Acts 9: 1 – 19. I am sure you are wondering exactly how this would make you say Hmm. Well I’ll tell you. In fact, I’ll tell you even if you weren’t wondering. This particular chapter of …
