Saying a portrayal of Jesus on a crucifix means “he ain’t resurrected” is like saying a portrayal of Jesus as a baby means He never grew up.
Her argument isn’t rational. Just anti-Catholic.
In I Kings 18, the pagans made an offering to their gods and nothing came of it.
Elijah made an offering to God: He accepted it and the faith of the people grew.
Today, I think God is calling each of us to offer Him a little sacrifice of some sort.
As you make it, trust that He’ll accept it, treasure it and make something of it that is beautiful.
Give Him yourself. Make a sacrifice of praise.

A woman who chooses to have an abortion is not a victim. There is no “poor her.” She willfully chose to murder a child. You are not a victim when you murder another human being. The only victim is the child.
• St. Padre Pio says:
"Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key that opens the heart of God.
You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips but with your heart.
In fact, on certain occasions, you should only speak to Him with your heart♡."
Ave, María, grátia plena,
Dóminus tecum.
Benedícta tu in muliéribus,
et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta María, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatóribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.
Amen.
Let us ask Mary, Queen of Peace, to teach us to renounce hurtful words, hasty judgment, gossip, and slander. May we learn to cherish and nurture love within our families, among friends, in the workplace, on social media, in political debates, and in Christian communities, so that hatred may give way to hope and peace. #ApostolicJourney

Romans 8:35, 37
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Trial, or distress, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword? Yet in all this, we are more than conquerors because of him who has loved us.
Incredible.
