Biblical Reference of Saint Peter Originally called Simon, a very common Jewish name in the New Testament. He was the son of Jona. His mother is nowhere named in Scripture. He had a younger brother called Andrew, who first brought him to Jesus. His native town was Bethsaida, on the western coast of the Sea of Galilee, to which also Philip belonged. Here he was brought up by the shores of the Sea of Galilee and was trained to the occupation of a fisher. His father had probably died while he was still young, and he and his brother were...

Biblical Reference of St Joseph St Joseph was a descendant of the house of  King David . After marrying  Mary , he found her already pregnant and, “being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace” (Matthew 1:19), decided to divorce her quietly, but an angel told him that the child was the Son of God and was conceived by the  Holy Spirit . Obeying the angel, St Joseph took Mary as his wife. After Jesus’ birth at  Bethlehem  in  Judaea , where the  Holy Family  received the  Magi , an angel warned St Joseph and Mary about the impending violence against the child...

Biblical Reference of John the Baptist The Gospel of Mark introduces John as a fulfillment of a prophecy from the  Book of Isaiah  (in fact, a conflation of texts from Isaiah,  Malachi  and  Exodus ) about a messenger being sent ahead, and a voice crying out in the wilderness. John is described as wearing clothes of camel's hair, living on  locusts  and wild  honey . John proclaims baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sin, and says another will come after him who will not baptize with water, but with the Holy Spirit. The Gospel of Matthew account begins with the same modified quotation from Isaiah, moving the Malachi and...

Biblical Reference of Archangel Raphael St. Raphael is one of the Archangels in the Bible. In the  apocryphal   Old Testament  ( Hebrew Bible )  Book of Tobit , he is the one who, in human disguise and under the name of Azarias (“ Yahweh  helps”), accompanied Tobias in his adventurous journey and conquered the demon  Asmodeus . He is said ( Tobit  12:15) to be “one of the seven holy archangels who present the prayers of the  saints  and enter into the presence of the glory of the Holy One.” In the  pseudepigraphal   First Book of Enoch , Raphael is “the angel of the spirits of men,” and it is his business to “heal the...

Biblical reference of Angel Gabriel Each time Angel Gabriel appears in the Bible, it is in the role of a messenger. However, we should not be under the impression that St Gabriel is just a communicator or a postman. When Gabriel appeared to Daniel, Zechariah, and Mary, all three were stricken with awe. Daniel says, “As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate” (Daniel 8:17). Zechariah “was startled and was gripped with fear” (Luke 1:12). And Mary “was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be”...

Biblical Reference of St Michael the Archangel Archangel Michael is mentioned three times in the Book Of Daniel. The idea that Michael was the advocate of the Jews became so prevalent that, in spite of the rabbinical prohibition against appealing to angels as intermediaries between God and his people, Michael came to occupy a certain place in the liturgical proceedings. In the New Testament, St. Michael the Archangel leads God's armies against Satan's forces in the Book Of Revelation, where during the war on Heaven, he defeats Satan. In the Epistle of Jude, St. Michael the Archangel is specifically referred to...

The tree of knowledge. God created the tree of knowledge and placed it in the garden of Eden. That wasn’t the problem. The problem was he told adam and Eve not to eat from that tree. Genesis 2:16-17 says that God says to Adam that he must not eat from the tree, if he does he will surely die. Most of us sigh on the fact that why did God keep the tree in the center of the garden and not in any deserted or difficult-to-reach location so that Adam and Eve would not be able to consume the fruit...

To most of us, Jesus speaking in parables is so wonderful. The parables make it easier for even the children to understand the true meaning of what Jesus wanted to say to all of us. But, why parables? Why just stories? Couldn’t Jesus make it a little more straightforward? The kingdom of heaven cannot be just limited to few stories! Jesus preached to all of mankind in three ways: Parables, Miracles, and Actions. Parables were a little comfortable and at times were a bit complex. There are so many hidden meanings in these parables that unless we go down into...

The Lord's Prayer is one of the most common and most recited prayers in the life of a Catholic. For the very reason that it has been taught by our Lord himself. It is a beautiful way by which Jesus gave us his example of the relationship that he has with his father in heaven. However, there are a few things that we often miss out on while saying this prayer. The Lord's prayer by its very name can tell us, that this is not just the prayer that has been taught to us by Jesus himself, but it is...
