@BibleInContext1 I know you mean well and you think you’re doing a service and saving souls but you’re missing out man.

Baptised Catholics who walk away from the true Church often claim they have “seen the light.”

But let’s be clear, that is not the light.

No failure of a priest.
No scandal of a bishop.
Not even the weakness of a Pope is ever a justification to abandon the Catholic Church.

The truth is this: you don’t leave Christ because of Judas.

The Catholic Church is not built on the perfection of men. it is built on Christ Himself and sustained by the Eucharist.

Those who truly understand and value the Eucharist do not walk away from it.

Call it what it is, not “seeing the light,” but turning away from it.

Leaving the Catholic Church is synonymous with turning away from the Light.

Peter and Judas both betrayed Jesus in one single day.
But only Peter was saved.
Do you know why??

He realised his error, took out pride, and asked sincerely for forgiveness, and he was forgiven.
Judas, too, realised his error. He returned back the 30 pieces of silver.
But because he felt his sins were too big for God to forgive, he took matters in his own hands and took his own life.

This is where the sacrament of reconciliation comes in, in the Catholic Church.

Like Judas, many Catholics today feel that their sins are too big for God to forgive.
This is why they have refused to go for confession.
But I just want to remind you that as long as you are truly sorry, God will forgive you.

Don't be like Judas. Be like Peter.
Go for confession today.
Confess those sins.

Jesus is waiting for you at the confessional with open arms.
Confess your sins before your priest so that you can receive absolution.
And then you receive Jesus in the Blessed Eucharist.

Go for confession today! Not tomorrow... but today.

Inspiring words

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

You’re never out until you’re out.

Play the game in front of you. Not the game you wanted to happen. Not the game that just happened. Not the game you hoped would happen. But the game that is happening.

It's a remarkable lesson for basketball, for all of sport, and really, for all of life.

In the Elite 8 of the NCAA tournament, the UConn Huskies came out flat against the No. 1 seed Duke.

The Huskies trailed by 15 at halftime.

No. 1 seeds were 134-0 all time in the NCAA tournament when leading by 15 or more points at halftime.

That’s across the entire NCAA tournament history. Every round. Every year.

UConn had every reason to give up. But they simply refused. Most people check out when the odds turn against them. But UConn never stopped playing to win.

Their big man Tarris Reed Jr. put the Huskies on his back. He played incredibly on both sides of the ball.

The Huskies cut the lead to 13. Then to 11. Then to 7. Then to 5. And then, in the final seconds of the game, they cut the lead to two.

Duke inbounded the ball, UConn pressured and forced a turnover. With less than a second on the clock, Braylon Mullins—who had shot 0 for 4 from three—put up a deep 3 from the logo, and nailed it.

UConn 73. Duke 72.

134-1.

After the game, UConn coach Dan Hurley said this about Mullins:

"The courage. You have a young man, he's a rare human being. The toughness about him, to take the shot, on a tough shooting night, but he was due."

It was an off night. And yet with everything on the line you have no choice but to pull the trigger. Shooters shoot. That's confidence in the process.

March Madness is an ultimate test of emotional regulation. Over 3 weeks and 6 games, nothing ever goes to plan.

You prepare. You practice. You visualize. Then stuff happens.

The difference between those who collapse and those who rise? How they respond, especially when things don’t go their way.

What's true in basketball is true in life.

It's easy when everything is going your way. But things will go wrong. You'll fall behind. The score won't look good. Most people check out when the odds turn against them.

UConn never stopped playing their hardest.

Not when they were down 19. Not when they were 1 for 11 from three. Not when history said it was over.

It’s called having a next play mentality:

You can't control what already happened. You can't control the score. You can only control the next play.

One stop. One bucket. One possession at a time.

That's how you erase a historical deficit against the No. 1 team in the country. It's how you work through the biggest challenges in life too.

Excellence does not mean control. It does not mean perfection. It means refusing to quit on yourself when the situation looks hopeless. It means trusting your preparation even when nothing is falling.

It means playing the game in front of you. Not the game you wanted. Not the game you hoped for. The game that is happening.

Stay in the arena. Play the next play.

“Sola Scriptura’s a catchy slogan but here’s the thing: early Christians didn’t HAVE a New Testament—they had Apostolic preaching, Tradition & the Church’s teaching authority. Who put the Bible together? The Holy Spirit working through the Church—so we’d know which books belong.”

[Anthony @A_LittleFish77]

@Coworkeroftruth Huh. Interesting perspective

[That Catholic Guy 🇻🇦 @Catholic_bro]

Fasting without seeking to grow closer to Christ is just a diet.

On Valentine’s Day 36 years ago, Carl Sagan requested NASA to turn Voyager 1's camera back toward home for one last look.

From 3.7 billion miles away, Voyager captured this image.

Here is how Carl Sagan described it:

“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hates. My reason for doing this would be, that if Christ is in any one of the churches of the world today, He must still be hated as He was when He was on earth in the flesh. If you would find Christ today, then find the Church that does not get along with the world. Look for the Church that is hated by the world, as Christ was hated by the world. Look for the Church which is accused of being behind the times, as Our Lord was accused of being ignorant and never having learned. Look for the Church which men sneer at as socially inferior, as they sneered at Our Lord because He came from Nazareth. Look for the Church which is accused of having a devil, as Our Lord was accused of being possessed by Beelzebub, the Prince of Devils. Look for the Church which theworld rejects because it claims it is infallible, as Pilate rejected Christ because he called Himself the Truth. Look for the Church which amid the confusion of conflicting opinions, its members love as they love Christ, and respect its voice as the very voice of its Founder, and the suspicion will grow, that if the Church is unpopular with the spirit of the world, then it is unworldly, and if it is unworldly, it is other-worldly. Since it is other-worldly, it is infinitely loved and infinitely hated as was Christ Himself. ... the Catholic Church is the only Church existing today which goes back to the time of Christ. History is so very clear on this point, it is curious how many miss its obviousness...
