Using the Psalms, we would be praying as Jesus would have, we would be praying with the entire Church. There are no better prayers that encompass the entire human experience, enabling us to pray with the thoughts of God.

In our attempt to live as faithful Catholics, we must but encounter this question of who Christ is to us. If we have not an answer, then we have not even begun our journey toward His promises. We are only authentic Christians when we acknowledge that Christ, the God-Man, alone suffices and makes us whole.
Celebrating 75 years of O Clarim mandates the celebration of those that have built up the publication and made it what it is today. José Miguel Encarnação, editor of the Portuguese edition, is one such person who has transformed O Clarim into an engaging, relevant platform, carrying forth the mission of the Church.
God’s sacrificial love for us offers us eternal salvation, and we are allowed to choose it for ourselves. Despite having the freedom to choose, we are integrally connected to God, just like the Triune God, in whose image we are all created, remains a communion of Three Persons.
In Jesus, the sacrificial lamb, a compassionate God is revealed, one that waits patiently for our positive response to Him. He is with us forever, the very core of our existence. It is entirely up to us to acknowledge the love of God and accept His warm embrace.
As in the story of Moses, God calls and we must respond freely. We must contemplate the face of the Lord and reflect Him. Interceding for others, a vital aspect of prayer, allows us to grow as children of God, moving away from our self-serving nature.
The Annual General Assembly of the Pontifical Mission Societies’ work to bolster the effective spread of the good news of the Gospel commenced on May 31, on the heels of Pope Francis’ exhortation to ‘speak with the heart.’
O Clarim is going from strength to strength in its mission thanks to a dedicated team that toil wholeheartedly, epitomizing Christian virtue through their work.
The Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the Third Person of the Trinity – helps us understand the Incarnation, infuses us with courage, just as He did with the Apostles, and inspires us to become saints and evangelists.
To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to detach ourselves from our individualistic mentality, become part of God’s plan to evangelize and fulfill His vision for the world.
