		<description>Debbie, so true surrender it to HIM and not taking it back trying to fix it our way. Patients and Trust, is what I&#039;m dealing with. 
I also want to add that the book mentioned is well worth the read.</description>

		<description>I can really relate with the what you are saying about Catholics having a hard time of verbally evangelizing.  I have find with my own experience that while I am reading the bible and praying more I do have the confidence and ENCOURAGEMENT to share what excites me to others.  I have found that we have to take cues from others if they are interested or not.  Even just posting little verses on face book is a good way to share the promise.</description>

		<description>How very true that we often overlook the insignificant details in our life,many of which are doses of Blessings showered upon us and yet we do not open our senses to them.</description>

		<description>Though it&#039;s past Lent, this is still a great reminder! We are indeed called to surrender, so God can take over.</description>

		<description>Dear Jean Cheng,                                    I love this line &quot;Most importantly, God blessed me with quiet trust that He is with me in all areas of my life, and this includes my research study. As such, while I take 100% responsibility for the development of my research study, He will take 100% responsibility for helping me.&quot; 
Working for my research area of phenomenological &amp; existential psychology I can only say that it has been a great expierience for me. New ideas appeared in my writing as a result of using an interdisciplinary approach to a scholarly essay. I wish you best in your work and your writing.

		<description>Hi Ranneth,

Thanks for your feedback. That honestly didn&#039;t come to mind as I prepared that tagline. 

What I had in mind were Catholics who were discerning the will of God in their lives, and those who were yearning to listen God&#039;s Spirit speaking through His Word. 

I am sorry you feel offended by this tagline. I assure you, it was not my intention to offend anyone. Please accept my apologies. 

Peace,
Daniel</description>

		<description>Hi. when I searched for this page, a worrying title came up on search engine for the entry leading to this site: it said &quot;Daily scriptural reflections for the discerning catholic&quot;.

This &#039;discerning catholic&#039; implies that there are catholics who are &#039;discerning&#039;, and those who aren&#039;t (whatever that means). This slant may serve as a deterrent to &#039;alert&#039; (or, if u prefer, &#039;discerning&#039;) individuals who may be turned off by this suggestion, might I even say &#039;accusation&#039;, that one may indeed need to be &#039;discerning&#039; to be a model -by your definition- catholic. 

this insinuation is unacceptable, and I am somewhat offended by this attempt to influence my more nuanced position: that faith without reason is blind, although not everything in faith can in fact be rationalized.</description>
