What Ordinary Catholics Should Know About Feng Shui
A fellow Cool Catholic (this is how I call other passionate Catholics) sent me a private message ranting about the seemingly indecisive statement made by a cleric about the practice of Feng Shui. She sent it just yesterday through the Cool Catholics FB Page.

The Family: Court Room? or Confessional?
The slice of life of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the gospel today strongly reminds us about the holy institution called the Family.
It is easy to think these days about Jesus as the Son of God, the King, our Lord. But back when he was on earth, as a child, how did he grow up? Yes, he grew up in the loving arms of Joseph and Mary. That's a fact most of us don't get to reflect about.

The One Thing ALL Christians Can Learn from Mary Today
It's the 4th Sunday of Advent! Christmas is but five days away. Have you gone to Mass today? Coz the readings are simply awesome.
The gospel started with David's wish to build a house for the Ark of the Covenant. That wish resulted to another prophecy about Christ's coming, from God himself, spoken through the mouth of prophet Nathan:

3 Truths About Christ Every Catholic Should Share with Friends
In the gospel today, the 3rd Sunday of Advent, John the Baptist said something about Christ that we all should reflect on:
John the Baptist was referring to Jesus Christ who later on read in the synagogue the following verses which were written approximately 740 years earlier:
I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie. (John 1:26-27)

Repentance is NOT Regret, Don't be Misled
We regret about doing or saying something from time to time, don't we? We all have a list of "I wish I didn't do these" or "I wish I didn't say these". That's good. That shows that we acknowledge our faults.
As good as that may sound though, that's NOT repentance. The greek word for "repentance" is "metanoia". That word means more than just regret or guilt or shame. Essentially, metanoia means a change in mind or a change in direction. Without such change, yes, you may have regretted something, but you didn't repent.
