@miles_commodore I never did enjoy his show for the reason you stated. It was the same during the July 4th celebration coverage because he kept talking over the singers. Harris Faulkner seemed to try several times to politely redirect him to watch and listen to the show but he kept opining.
Prestigious doctor leaves a crowded room stunned after asking pro-abortion politicians:
"If abortion is healthcare, my question is: what disease are you treating?"
Everywhere in the world, humanity has not died, although there are malicious people among us, there are always well-intentioned people who love animals, love nature, love people.
Three devils' traps we fall into every day:
Fear of the past: mistakes, sins, insults.
Fear of the future: what will happen tomorrow: what will they think of me; what if I get sick; what if it all collapses?
Ingratitude to God for what is happening here and now. This is where despair begins: anxiety, panic, fear, asking 'what will I do?'
How do we get out of this?
The first trap - the past: The devil returns a person to their old sins and whispers, "Look what you've done. God will not forgive you.
Why do you feel like praying? What do you have in common with God?" And one believes, not in the mercy of God, but in the devil's whisper. As if your sin is stronger than God's mercy.
Second trap - the future: In the future, the devil wants to make you play out scary scenarios in your head, getting tired of those thoughts. He wants you to be exhausted before anything has happened, so you don't pray, don't do good, and don't go to God.
But the Gospel says: "Do not worry about tomorrow. The future has not yet arrived, but fear has already stolen both your future and your present day..."~Matthew 6:25-34
The third trap - the present: This is the most dangerous one. We simply don't thank God for what we have. Again; the past is gone, the future is not yet here, and the present is all we have, here and now. The morning, the sky above us, the roof, the room, the food you eat today, the life you live. And we complain that it is not enough.
Look, you have already woken up this morning; cross yourself and say: "Glory to God!" Thank God for waking up alive and well.
And all these three traps of the devil are summed up in one word; DISTRACTION (or disquiet). This state distances people from prayer, from reading, from work, and from loved ones.
It talks about the past; "You will not fix anything." It speaks of the future; "You will not succeed." And it paralyzes you in the present.
But we have a weapon; the Jesus Prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God have mercy on me, a sinner." It returns a person to God, not to the past, not to horror of the future, but to God, here and now.
Repent of the past, trust God for the future, and for today, give thanks and get up again, move on, and fear nothing. "….The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."~Psalm 46:10-11
The Eucharist is the most confrontational claim in Christianity.
Not because Catholics are trying to be dramatic.
Because if the Eucharist is only bread, then Catholicism is excessive.
But if the Eucharist is truly Jesus Christ…
Then the Mass is not optional.
Adoration is not strange.
Genuflection is not outdated.
The tabernacle is not decoration.
The altar is not a stage.
And Communion is not a symbol of community.
It is the living God giving Himself to sinners.
That is why the saints trembled before the Host.
That is why martyrs risked death for the Mass.
That is why the Church refuses to reduce the Eucharist to a metaphor.
Jesus did not say, “This represents My Body.”
He said:
👉🏽 “This is My Body.” 👈🏽
And Catholics have never redefined those words.
Truly Present.
It took around 140 years to finish the Duomo in Florence.
The original architects knew they wouldn’t live to see the dome rise, yet they laid the stone anyway.
When you believe in eternity, you build things differently.
Je n'aurais jamais pensé que 228 000 personnes seraient intéressées par le fait de voir du Beau chaque jour sur les réseaux.
C'est merveilleux, merci pour vos messages mes amis !
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
