Socratic Testing for gossip
In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, “Do you know what I just heard about your friend?”
Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anything I’d like you to pass a little test. Its called the Triple Filter Test.
Triple filter?
Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anything I’d like you to pass a little test. Its called the Triple Filter Test.
Triple filter?
That’s right, Socrates continued. Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you’re going to say. Thats why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?
A fleeing Taliban terrorist - It's only a joke!!!
A fleeing Taliban
terrorist, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when
he saw something far off in the distance.
Hoping to find water, he
hurried toward the mirage, only to find a very frail little old Jewish man
standing at a small makeshift display rack - selling
ties.
The Taliban terrorist
asked, "Do you have water?"

Introduction to the Celebration
Introduction to the Celebration
Since the very first days of the church — before St Paul had
set out on his journeys or any of the gospels were written — our brothers and
sisters have been gathering every week for this sacred meal. But when we
routinely do anything, we often lose sight of just how wonderful it is. So
today we are reflecting on just how wonderful it is to be called by the Lord to
gather in his presence, to be his guests at his table, and to eat and drink
from his wonderful bounty. In this banquet we become one with Christ, and are
transformed into being his Body, and his Blood flows in all our veins giving us
the strength to be his witnesses in the world and the life that never ends.

Pope Francis says atheists can do good and go to heaven too!
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Pope Francis has good news for atheists. Jesus died and was raised for them as well. His redemptive embrace was for all, not just a chosen few.The choice to accept its reach is our own. The Holy Father was not teaching anything new. In fact, this hope that all who do not yet know God are not only capable of doing good - but will progress toward that knowledge of God by doing good - is ancient. The Church wants all men and women to be saved.
