So I need to take good care of what God entrusted to me, that’s self-love…
Ask Fr. Francis
Ask Fr. Francis: Do I Have to Read the Bible?
Many things in Christianity have no rules. Rules are only good for telling us what not to do. Jesus came to tell us to love God and love others as He loved us.
Ask Fr. Francis: What Is an Indulgence?
An indulgence is a gift of God’s remission on the temporal punishment even after our sins have been forgiven.
Ask Fr. Francis: God Doesn’t Want Good People?
Yes, you heard me. God does not want good people. He wants people who want to have a relationship with Him.
Ask Fr. Francis: A Lady Said She Was a Prophet Who Could Deliver Jesus’ Raw Thoughts About My Life. What Do You Think About This?
I would recommend not to judge the charismatic movement based on one person, and you need not be disturbed by her claim. Get to know her better and you may discover a different story.
Ask Fr. Francis: How Do We Explain the Trinity?
First of all, the dogma of the Trinity is a Mystery of our faith, which means it cannot be fully comprehended. However, it does not mean that it cannot be understood at all.
Ask Fr. Francis: Should We Stop Repetitious Prayer?
The question directly addressed to Rosary, therefore, is not its repetitiveness or length, but that it was rather empty and mechanical, devoid of intimacy with God.
Ask Fr. Francis: Why Would You Offer Your Sufferings to God?
We all suffer, and suffering is not from God and so is meaningless in itself. But for the suffering that we cannot avoid, He shows us that we can make it into a sacrifice, a useful offering to God.
Ask Fr. Francis: I’m Struggling With Intense Lust and Falling…
Lust is the opposite of love: it objectifies and demeans the other; it uses the other to gratify and it reduces the other to the merely physical level.
Ask Fr. Francis: How Can I Know I Will Be Saved?
It is the same to ask: how can I be certain I won’t sin tomorrow?
