Die to Self
Spend Yourself for Souls
Saints and Sinners
By Jonathan Weiss Reposted from Missionary Jon @ https://missionaryjon.wordpress.com Jesus chose to spend the vast majority of His adult life surrounded by the outcasts, the rejected, and socially unacceptable folks. His closest friends were uneducated, smelly fishermen, greedy tax collectors, prostitutes, and hypocrites. Poor, uneducated, young, old, simple, complicated, humble and proud. And those who were considered “religious” and acceptable, He…
An Update from SSME: The Harvest is Great!
By John-Paul Papuzynski Just a quick update from the Summer School of Missionary Evangelization (SSME), Philippines.

And then there’s…

She said that she lived right down the street, so I agreed to go. I was shocked when I arrived. Martina’s house was worse than I could have imagined….
Growing the Economy of Love: Uganda Piggery Project
In the village of Masaka in the distant country of Uganda, many of the households are child-headed, meaning that in the absence of parents, the older siblings must provide for the younger siblings to be fed, have a home, and go to school. Besides the child-headed households, almost every villager is grappled by the area’s poverty. A major reason that…
Catholic Guilt and Catholic Complacence
By Susanna De A. “I messed up again. I’m hopeless. I’m sick of being me. Why even bother trying again? I can’t stand me, I don’t see how God can.” Ever heard that voice? Those words? Maybe it came after another lapse of discipline, surfing the Internet too late, and waking up bleary-eyed and headachy. Maybe it came after an…
