This blog is a serious effort to help others realize that they have within them the birthless, deathless spirit that has always been and will always be. The author expects seriousness and sincerity from the reader. He expects that co-operation that the believer should at all times be ready to extend. If,however, you are prone to mock at man’s serious duty. If you expect to be entertained, amused or beguiled, my best advice is that you read no further. Close this page, for there will be no joy in it for you. But, if you have faith; if you believe in the Divinity of Humankind, if you believe in the joys of life eternal, if the Celestial symphony sings in your heart.

READ ON. THE TRUTH IS FOR YOU.

HOW CAN THE CHILDREN MAKE AN ACT OF FAITH BEFORE RECEIVING BAPTISM

      In order to answer this doubt, we should know that ‘faith’ is God’s gift, not something that we get when we study some doctrines. Here, the Catholic Church follows the example of Jesus, who forgave sins because of the faith of others: Mk 2:2-5”after they had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying.
 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.” Jesus healed the paralyzed servant because of the faith of a Centurion. (Mt 8:13) “Amen, I say to you, in no one of the Israel have I found such faith.”…And Jesus said to the Centurion, “You may go; as you have believed, let it be done for you.” At that very hour his servant was healed.
