Today while I was busy looking at peoples' face, I discovered that the faces of those who smile more often are brighter even when they don't smile compared to those who don't. Happiness doesn't comes from what you are desiring to have but from what you already have. Smile more often and show the world that there is a better you. Happy Sunday

By Remez Sasson So many times we feel we have nothing and because of that nothing is going well for us but the truth is that God has deposited so many potentials in us to make us better persons than we were yesterday and all we need do is look so well inside ourselves and start, making the move that will change our lives forever and making us better persons in life . we always make the mistakes of postponing that which we ought to do now for later times and so we keep pushing it until we end up not doing or carrying out that task.  Enjoy this  article and start now instead of tomorrow. What Are You Waiting For?  Do you want to make changes and improvements in your life? So,what are you waiting for? When will you begin making them? Do you constantly tell yourself that if things were different, you could do this and that? Nothing is going change, unless you initiate the change. Blaming others and blaming circumstances would not make your situation bett...

We come with a heart so heavy and humbly asking for your forgiveness and understanding for us been away for so long due to unforseen reasons. We still apologize and promise to always update you here as soon as possible and plead that you still bear with us until everything is stable again. And for the mean time, we will always try our best to do the needful and also carry everyone along so that when you visit this page, it will be worth it. Thanks and God bless you as you support and bear with us. 

Been responsible doesn't cost so much, it requires so much more but it pays to become responsible and take charge of the things that happen in our day to day lives than wait for God to do everything for us. Try and fail, try and fail 1million times but know just this, "try again and you will get your desired result" Not because you gave up but because you kept pushing for success. #Keepapositivespirit #Davidmichaellovesyoumore

"You don't leave your chores undone to play because no one would do it for you" My Dad would always say. Most times in life we leave those important things we need to do and go for the ones that don't add any values to our lives, not because we are lazy but because we have misplaced our priorities and so we start from the least important ones that makes everything we do seem as though we have not started. "Things don't work not because we are not working hard enough but because we are doing the right things at the wrong time". Sometimes we know what we ought to do but because we feel so lazy those times we leave them to come back to them when an error must have occurred. Happy new month and happy Muslim celebration #workbeforeyouplay. #Davidmichaellovesyoumore

St Rose of Lima (1586 - 1617) She was born in Lima, in Peru. She lived a life of selflessness and devotion from an early age. She refused to marry, and became a Dominican tertiary at the age of 20. Her asceticism and her intense spiritual experiences excited the criticism of her friends and family and the suspicion of the Church authorities.     She cared for the sick, the poor, Indians, and slaves.     She was the first person in the Americas to be canonized, and is a patron saint of South America.      Saint Eugene (- c.618) Ireland Eoghan or Eugene of Ardstraw was a native of Leinster, and, after presiding over the Abbey of Kilnamanagh (Co.

ST JOHN KEMBLE (1599-1679) 22 Aug (where celebrated) John Kemble was one of the oldest of the martyrs, being 80 when executed. He was from near Hereford, being born into a Catholic family in 1599. He studied for the priesthood at Douai where he was ordained priest, and worked as a priest in England and Wales for 54 years. He founded several missions, some of which were still functioning well into the 19th century. In 1678 he was caught up in the aftermath of the “gunpowder plot” (this was a fictitious plot invented by Titus Oates and is now known as the “Popish Plot” to distinguish it from Guy Fawkes’ plot of 1605). He was cleared of all involvement of this and was eventually condemned for being a “seminary priest”. Before his execution he said: “I die only for professing the old Catholic religion, which was the religion that first made this kingdom Christian” He was hanged, drawn and when dead quartered at Widemarsh Common on 22 August 1679.

QUEENSHIP OF MARY  This feast of Queenship of Mother Mary was established by Pope Pius-XII by his encyclical Ad Caeli Reginam dated October 11, 1954. Mother Mary was proclaimed as "Theotokos" meaning "one who gives birth to God" or "God bearer" in the Council of Ephesus in the fifth century A.D.. Jesus is always the king of humanity and naturally His mother must have a share in the Kingship of Jesus. She is the Heavenly Queen and is referred as the woman clothed with sun and having a crown with twelve bright stars, in the book of Revelation. God has given to Mother Mary a great role to play in the eternal salvation of humanity, when she became the mother of the God's only Son, Jesus. She was conceived without any original sin that became a religious dogma in the year 1854 (Immaculate Conception). Mother Mary is the gate to the Heaven, and through Her only mankind can enter the Heaven. Holy Virgin Mother Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth, have merc...

  St Bernard of Clairvaux (1090 - 1153) He was born near Dijon, in France, in 1090, of a noble family. In 1112 he joined the new monastery at Cîteaux. This had been founded fourteen years before, in a bid to reject the laxity and riches of the Benedictine Order (as exemplified by great monasteries such as Cluny) and to return to a primitive poverty and austerity of life.     Bernard arrived at Cîteaux with four of his five brothers and two dozen friends. Within three years he had been sent out to found a new monastery at Clairvaux, in Champagne, where he remained abbot for the rest of his life. By the time of his death, the Cistercian Order had grown from one house to 343, of which 68 were daughter houses of Clairvaux itself.     Bernard was a man of great holiness and wisdom, and although he was often in very poor health, he was active in many of the great public debates of the time. He strongly opposed the luxurious lives of some of the clergy, and fou...

Saint John Eudes (1601 - 1680) He was born and died in Normandy. He was ordained priest and spent many years preaching parish missions. He organized a congregation of nuns that grew into the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity, dedicated to the care of women rescued from a disorderly life, and a congregation of priests dedicated to the running of seminaries. He was active in encouraging devotion to the Sacred Heart, and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.     In his time the Church in France was corrupt and in many ways a source of evil rather than grace. The higher clergy were rich and privileged, and enjoyed and guarded their privileges (the country was run, and wars were waged, by a cardinal). The lower clergy were ignorant and the common people were poor, superstitious, and oppressed as much spiritually as materially. To this mix was added the poison of Jansenism, which taught that human nature was corrupt, original sin rampant, and perfection was both necessary for sal...

St. Joan of the Cross St. Joa was born in a place called Anjou in France on June 18, 1666. After the death of her mother, Joan inherited the family business. She was running a shop near the shrine of Virgin Mary. She was so greedy for money that she opened the shop even on Sundays. During those days no one used to open the shops on Sundays expecting more sales on Sunday. But she met a poor beggar woman named Francoise Fouchet on the Pentecostal day in the year 1693 and that poor woman somehow touched the heart of Joan. Joan got sympathy on this woman and asked her to stay with her in the house. A sudden change of mind has happened in Joan after seeing this widow. Then after this incident, she wanted to do some service for poor people. Therefore she closed her family business and started spending her entire time doing good deeds and for doing penance. She founded 12 religious houses, schools etc. She founded a congregation of St. Anne of Providence of Samur, which was approved by V...
