Fr Michael Payyapilly calls Catholics to know the biblical and apostolic foundations of their faith rather than being unsettled by criticism they have never examined. He reflects on Christ's institution of the Church, Scripture and Tradition, the biblical roots of the Sacraments, the importance of approaching them with faith, and the responsibility to love and strengthen the Church even while acknowledging its human failures.

Fr Varghese Parackal reflects on the Christian call to be like Jesus by learning His life of prayer. Through Scripture he shows Jesus praying before ministry, decisions and suffering, teaches that the Spirit of the Son enables us to cry 'Abba, Father,' and calls Christians to make personal and family prayer part of everyday life.

Fr Michael Payyapilly reflects on the Christian responsibility of forming children in faith from the beginning. Through Scripture, family stories and his own childhood memories, he teaches that parents pass on God's love through presence, example, prayer, correction and the seeds of faith that may bear fruit many years later.

Fr Joby recalls how Jeremiah 1:9 sustained him when he felt unprepared to preach and how 1 John 3:8-9 helped him confront a persistent spiritual weakness. Scripture becomes testimony when it is prayed faithfully in the place of temptation and hardship.

Suffering can make us believe that God is against us, especially when other people interpret our trials as punishment. Fr Antony reflects on trust, spiritual discipline and the hidden work of grace through stories of family pain, public judgement, injustice and faithful surrender.
