Questions people ask (Fr O’Flynn –Intercom) Q. At a time when the Church is struggling, I often wonder why God doesn’t perform some great miracles to bring people back. A. While we are struggling in Western Europe, remember that the Church is youthful and vibrant in many parts of the world. As for miraculous signs, critics will always find reasons to reject or doubt them. When Jesus performed miracles those who did not believe remained unconvinced. Some said his power came from the devil! Jesus put it like this: ‘If they will not listen either to Moses or to the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone should rise from the dead’.

Home Security System is something to not take lightly, especially given today’s faltering and unstable economy. Home security products and technology are very costly.
