Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

  4. Lord my God I come to you today in prayer that my husband has a safe return home and that we get through this weekend together. We are worried for Tuesday event with all the attorneys finally all getting together and talk about what's better for April. I can only weep knowing it's been 3 1/2 months since we have seen her. We talked once and made many promises that I would protect her but as you can see I've failed in away, but knowing she's out of the environment that she was previously in she is safe. I bless you lord for watching over her. I've raised April and she my sweet angel who kept me going when I was sad or happy. She knew how to put a smile on your face. Her beauty and deep blue eyes would make you cry of how sweet an innocent this child has gone through especially at the age of 6 but started at 5. I come to you and pray to my one true king and that is you God. I pray before you to grant us love and peace between all our families. I forgive them for hurting me and my husband, I forgive them for giving us the silent treatment, I would accept all punishment of fault if it would help us to unite. I like to confess my sins Lord. I had stolen an item and paid for my crime. That was 2 years ago. I've become bitter, angry, depressed, sad and shut myself away from the world. I need your guidance more than anything please show me what I'm suppose to do. I'm lost and don't know where to turn. Give me strength to move forward and May next week be a happy and glorified reunion with our granddaughter. I ask in the name of the lord Jesus Christ my savior forever and ever. Amen

  8. Heavenly Father / LORD JESUS, Thank you for your blessing & grace we received for our family. I beg you to resurrect Melissa left eye to 20/20 vision and make the eye disease and inflammation of the optic nerve go away permanently.
    Jesus said, "I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 14:13, 14).
    I come to you Heavenly Father today and I have confidence in Your Word, and I take hold of Your promises to completely heal my daughter Melissa Ang.
    Please forgive all her sins and remove all obstacles that is preventing her from healing.
    FATHER GOD / JESUS, you are the miracle healer & physician. I believe whatever treatment medication, injection & laser on the eye you have directed the doctor is to resurrect Melissa's left eye 20/20 vision permanently and making the eye disease go away.
    We put our trust and faith with JESUS that Dr Sharel C Ongchin and Russell Van Gelder are doctors that GOD has directed them to diagnose and treat her. We praise GOD and have faith that Melissa's left eye will be completely healed.
    In Jesus name, I pray. Amen!

    Mimi, 4/16/2015

  2. So last night I thought to myself, I asked, I wondered, and so I began. So here we are in the flesh, as human beings, in a world of many happenings, we sin, we have ill thoughts, of ourselves, of others, we judge, we compare, we listen, we conclude, we accept or we reject. We laugh and we feel joy and contentment.  We move on each and everyday, as the seasons change, as the waves come and go, we just move on to the important things in our lives. While we see and hear of others pains, and they're all in different areas of our bodies.  We move onto the living things we do, we work and we pay for the obligations of each day.  We pray, we dwell, we call, we don't, its easier sometimes not to call, or listen to an aching heart,  because, yes because we don't want to hear the others' pain, it makes us sad, it makes us angry, or we chose not to care, even those we love. It 's an everyday ebb and flow, its life.  And I tell myself, its not good to be that way, be set aside, not cared for, not listened to.  And I know that sometimes, even when we love and want to help others, we fill our minds with our own conclussion of what is right and correct for them, and here we are as humans with our own faults and judgemental ways.

     

    We are humans, we have many fears, we have many stories, we anger, we hold onto to things that circle in our minds, like the good, the bad, and the very ugly. We are all different, in many, many ways. We learn to love in many ways, we learn to dislike for our very own reasons, we learn and act on ill thoughts, on selfishness, but one thing I say to you. Be strong, be good, be the best friend to yourself, and to those you call "friends"  for they mean well for us, to your family members and neighbors. Remeber to treat others like we would like to be treated. Do the best you can each and everyday,  love yourself, be kind to others, help others when they need someone that is perhaps in a bad state of mind, needing a hand, or a meal.  Lets face it, we've all been there, that is why we help, even when we don't think we should.

     

    Have faith and hope, and never loose sight of that, know that things happen, its not sent by God or any force, its life, and we're in it. In this life there is death, illness and life's mishaps happen. Live everyday to the fullest, pray, trust in your God, in your universal spirit. Believe that everyday you will wake up to being in love with yourself, not in a selfish way, but in a way of happiness and fulfilment to yourselt. Trust, Believe and Hope that everyday is a blessing, to be with your children, your loved ones. And always think of others, clear our minds in how we think, about others, and how much more we have. Share your love, share your wellness with others. And remember to treat others in kindness, in the same manner in which we would like to be treated. Take care of yourselves and don't let others take advantage of that  kindness. Remember we live as human beings, in a life we see, we hear, we learn and we live and we let live.

     

    That is my story on LIFE.

     

     La paz por mi Hermanas y yo
