My Dear People,

My Dear People, 

Reading the first half of the story reminds me of the old TV crime drama Colombo, in which the title character, a seemingly bumbling detective, would nonchalantly and unassumingly socialize with different “person of interest,” asking disarmingly simple and even naive questions in order to get ...

My Dear People, 

Happy Easter, everyone! Easter, the most important feast in the Liturgical Calendar, made it possible for Christianity to start. Even though the Apostles preached Jesus was crucified, what made the difference was: He was alive! As He told the apostles, “I will be with you till ... Read More »

My Dear People,

My Dear People,

The Transfiguration scene bears witness to an inner circle of three among the Twelve—Peter, James, and John. Here, He takes them up on a high mountain. In the Old Testament, it is the kind of place viewed as especially suitable for divine revelation (See Gen 2.2, ... Read More »
