Only when he visits our town, or another town near here, for Missions. We correspond from time to time via emails.<br /><br />Unfortunately I don't do the radio programs anymore. I used to do a Christian program called "Time for Reflections", several music programs, interviews/documentaries, and a comedy program called the "Aardvark Show".<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-10329619141187025202012-02-11T15:29:51.435-08:002012-02-11T15:29:51.435-08:00Victor,

I am sure you feel grateful to be able to help Fr in his work.<br /><br />Do you remember Fr James Tierney mentioned on my blog? He does great work in the area of catechesis and he has also written a number of children's books. Fr Jim is a personal friend of ours and we are always honoured when he asks for our help in his work.<br /><br />I remember you writing about your radio shows in previous posts. Are you still doing them?Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-13627321451464918762012-02-11T12:18:02.756-08:002012-02-11T12:18:02.756-08:00Thank you Barb for your kind comments.

It is a sermon by Father Francis Maple, a priest I know, and I think it is well worth sharing with others.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-25160736737752857682012-02-11T09:43:18.463-08:002012-02-11T09:43:18.463-08:00An excellent post.

You nailed the key right here: "complete breakdown in people's relationship with God and their neighbour."<br /><br />Some people may think that sins of neglect such as missing Mass, or private sins don't affect our neighbor, but since all the good we do is brought about through the grace God gives us, by depriving ourselves of grace things inevitably break down between ourselves and our neighbor. So glad you wrote this post.Barb Schoenebergerhttp://www.sufferingwithjoy.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-68299653571319758162012-02-11T06:49:03.202-08:002012-02-11T06:49:03.202-08:00Hi Sue,

Even worse when people deliberatly choose not to believe in Him, and lead others to do the same.<br /><br />God bless you and yours.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-60639374979838945972012-02-08T18:34:48.417-08:002012-02-08T18:34:48.417-08:00This is a very good explanation of Hell.

In some Protestant churches we are taught that a person cannot lose salvation because of the verse where Jesus said no one could take those God had given him from his hand (in book of John). But I think that anyone could go to Hell if the relationship with God was broken, which would result from a person's own choices in life. I like the analogy of the tree falling in the direction that it leans. That's good to remember. <br /><br />Thank you for a post that challenged me to examine my heart.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09091216096297798587noreply@blogger.com
