Let Your Sins Melt Away: Everything Is Grace

We cannot overcome sin by talent or moral effort alone; everything is grace. Fr Antony reflects on the concrete works through which grace reshapes a life: caring for parents, bringing souls back to God, worshipping, helping the poor, praying for the departed and making almsgiving a way of life.

Do Not Call Evil Good: Let God Search and Transform Your Heart

Fr Varghese Parackal teaches that God has already separated light from darkness and good from evil. He calls us to let God search and weigh the heart, ask what we must do, avoid grieving the Holy Spirit, confess and forsake sin, and be transformed rather than conformed to the world.

What Is Our Response to God's Love? When We Forget What God Has Done for Us

Fr Michael Payyapilly asks how we respond to God's love and the blessings entrusted to us. Using Saul as the central biblical example, he warns how carelessness, pride and sin can move the heart away from God, and calls us to remember God's gifts and retrace our steps back to Him.
