Hell

Some people have the wrong idea of Hell. Some people think that if you go to Hell, you could still be able to go to heaven/purgatory. But Hell is a permanent separation from God. There is no way to go back to change what you have done. Also many people think Hell is just fire and the devil, but Hell is complete darkness. Hell is a terrible pain every day, every second of you are there. You will always feel pain but this pain you receive is from the sight of God and you want to be with him. We were made to be with him so when we are permanently separated, you can not be happy ever. Therefore, no one ever should want to go there. We do not know what it is completely like since we have not died and gone there, but this is what the Catholic Church teaches. The basic teaching of Hell is that it is permanent separation from God.

Divorce then Remarry?

During our time, many marriages end in divorce. About 50% of all marriages end up in divorce, and then the divorced couples get married later to someone else. But is this right? The Catholic church specifically states that marriage is final. When a couple gets married, they become one flesh. For this reason, when a couple gets divorced they still remain one flesh. Therefore, if a divorced couple gets remarried to someone else, the couples are one flesh with another person so that they can not become one flesh with this new person resulting in the divorced couple to commit adultery every time they make love to the new person.

Final Four

Right now, the Final Four for 2013 is about to come to a close in Atlanta, Georgia with Louisville vs Michigan. The Final Four is a great example of people using their abilities to the utmost potential for the greater glory of God. They are using the gifts that God has given them to benefit their team, school, family, friends, and God. Wasting talent for laziness is not happening here, but rather these men and women have practiced hard and persevered all season long to be given the chance to visit the Final Four. May God be with both teams for the men and the women playing to win the Final Four and keep them safe.

P.S. I am rooting for Michigan

North Korea

Right now, South Korea is scared that North Korea will attack. North Korea is a communistic country and takes complete control of its people. Many of its civilians are malnourished or treated unfairly. God is not allowed in North Korea; it is illegal to practice Christianity or Catholicism. I think its unfair to the Korean people that they should be punished to practice the religion they choose. Communism hurts the people under its control and limits the rights they should be allowed to practice.

Easter

Happy Easter everybody!! Easter was about a week ago and I just wanted to wish everybody a happy one. Many people forget about what Easter really means to us and tend to associate it with a bunny and candy. But Easter to Catholics and Christians all around the world should mean much more. We should concentrate more on Jesus's resurrection and how the gates of heaven have finally been opened up for us and thank God for that rather than thank God for the candy and gifts we received that day. Once again Happy Easter!
