Book Details


Table of Contents

The annunciation : a visitor from heaven
Sorry, no room
A visit by very important people
The refugees
A young Jesus comes of age
He takes upon himself our burdens
Days harassed by satan
No prophet is honored by his own people
It is not the time my Father had planned
Want to please God, be a child
Don't embarrass God when you pray
Why did you have to wake me?
The Publican with a clean heart
Would you hug a leper?
The law was made for man, not man for the law
The pagan soldier with a humble heart
When we condemn, we are condemned
We judge by what we see in the outside, He judges by what he sees in our hearts
When you pray, pray to your Father in secret
It is our sins that entitle us to His mercy
The excommunicated holy man
Who will be invited to live in God's home?
Moses and Elias honor surprise the Apostles
If you want to lead, learn to serve
What a strange choice as messenger of the good news
Don't be discouraged if success comes slowly
The Prodigal Father
I need to be alone
Violence does not resolve issues, it breeds nightmares
Do what the Scribes and Pharisees tell you, but do not imitate them!
His ways are not our ways
No rest for the weary
Storm clouds over the Last Supper
Keep forgiving in spite of yourself
It is not how much you make that counts, but how much you give away
"Why was this not sold to help the poor rather than waste it on Him?"
Moment of glory
Their Last Supper together
The sad last night
Sunrise on a dark night
Surprise!
Seeing is not believing
Goodbye, but I am not really leaving.
