"Abortion is the anti-Christ's demonic parody of the Eucharist. That's why it uses the same holy words 'This is my body' with the blasphemous opposite meaning."

I just saw another Anonymous quote that read, "You wake up one day to realize that you are busier than you've ever been, but no deeper in the things of God than you were years ago. B-Busy. U-Under. S-Satan's. Y-Yoke."

Reminded me of Matthew 11:29-30 and the solution for us.

It's the Lord's Day!

Men, get your family to church and set the tone in your participation in the liturgy.

Sing with strength and confidence. Listen attentively. Show your kids the gravity of corporate worship.

"God hates injustice, oppression, revilers, pride, liars, and those who misuse their authority to hurt others. Why is it that the Church teaches that God hates #divorce but ignores the other things that God hates that break apart marriages and destroys the people within it?"
