Saint Jude Thaddeus, one of the Twelve Apostles and traditionally identified as the author of the short New Testament Epistle of Jude, is distinct from Judas Iscariot. He is widely venerated as the patron saint of hopeless or desperate causes, a role linked to the legend that he brought the miraculous Image of Edessa to King Abgar. Tradition holds that he preached in Persia with Saint Simon and was martyred there, often shown in art with a club and a medallion bearing the face of Christ.
@trixirixi@Xtopher_Uzo It's leads to the Consecration. Your reception of the Eucharist is optional. To miss Sunday Mass is a sin against the 3rd Commandment. You need not receive Communion and sometimes you should not.
@trixirixi@Xtopher_Uzo The Mass leads to the Consecration (transubstantiation). The receipt of the Eucharist is not required to satisfy the Sabbath requirement. Attendance at Mass is.
@FlorioGina You might have a point if your parents hadn't raised you fed you cared for you educated you . But they did. You do the same for your children. They are not free full-time babysitters.
@Xtopher_Uzo This is a mortal sin because he had the opportunity to go to Mass and choose not to. He might have gone to the vigil Mass or at least been late to a birthday party. TV Mass is of no avail. Keep holy the Lord's day. It's a commandment
@robbystarbuck There's a lot of gramps virtue signaling going on here. We have 16 grandkids not just to one little perfect angel. The possibility of babysitting fulltime while parents work is real. As it is taking in four or five kids all day several days in a row happens. Give me a break!
@KristanHawkins Well this is a scandalous post that in the interest of clicks that sews confusion. A Catholic can in good conscience, in the interest of justice and deterrence, support the death penalty.
@FeserEdward The decisions a President makes in such an event are minutes and seconds on which the future of human life depend, decisions of a type you will never make, though free to criticize. Is it absurd to think he does not want to be dragged to that brink?
@FeserEdward It is possible to acknowledge the very real possibility Iran was at the doorstep of having nuclear weapon capacity and to question the need for war. Your glib comment elides the fact that a regional nuclear strike is worldwide nuclear annihilation.
@SteveSkojec Mass is not a worship service. It is the re-presentation of the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary. Attendance at Sunday Mass is a matter of justice by which the divine commandment to keep holy the Sabbath day is met by our presence at Calvary.
@RedsTalkSI This guy who has been propped up and nursed along all season with no corresponding production has strong opinions about not playing baseball and getting paid. This is the last person I want to hear from.
If you are shocked by nanograms of old aborted baby DNA in some vaccine products—
—Consider the horrors of fresh-aborted, whole baby body parts harvested for experiments funded by @HHSGov and Dr. Fauci for decades.💔
Thank you @SecKennedy for divesting us from such barbarism!
Priests are wearing cassocks again making the sacred visible in a secular world. If only we can get the religious Sisters back in a habit!
