Dad's Wisdom: Who Do You Trust?

“There’s always one person in your life that you trust above any other.”

Most people have that steady rock. Someone they know without any doubt, he or she will always tell them the truth. Always want the best for them. Always keep them from following the devil down the rabbit hole into misery.

I was old enough to know exactly what he meant. You see, for me, my Dad was that one person. I thank God for my Dad.

Catholicism: The Holy Catholic Bible

Every day is a holiday
when I live God’s good life
He meant for me.

The Bible is all around us guiding men, women and children to lead a moral, decent and joyful life through God’s word.

People hear Scripture readings in church. We have Good Samaritan (Luke 10) laws, welcome home the Prodigal Son (Luke 15), and look for the Promised Land (Exodus 3, Hebrews 11).

Some biblical passages have become popular maxims, such as "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you (Matthew 7:12)," "Thou shalt not steal (Exodus 20:15), and "love thy neighbor" (Matthew 22:39).

Today's Catholic is called to take an intelligent, spiritual approach to reading the bible. It’s essential to know what the Bible is – and what it isn't.
