Sinner and unashamed Papist, trying to be humble and live how Jesus taught. Love is the answer. People before politics. Christ before Culture. IN ILLO UNO UNUM.
This video has cleared every doubts I have had.
It has also reminded me of Jesus' promise to be with the church till the very end.
Every Catholic should see this video.
"In every age, it can seem like the church is on her last breath. Today is no different..think of Good Friday....when Christians were thrown to the lions, God raised up saints like St. Ignatius of Antioch.
Every age has its Good Friday. Every age has its moments when people say 'This is the time. The Church is finished."
—Fr. Mike Schmitz
“If you are bound in a pornography addiction, do not wait to pray. Don’t try to heal yourself first. Came as you are today and let the Lord gaze upon you in your lust. The intimacy of that kind of encounter is so radical.”
The Monastics are the few in the modern world who still hold wisdom.
So, I went away for a wedding and then vacation. I was gone 12 days.
Bob disappeared the day I left and no one has seen him since.
I have looked everywhere in the house and I cannot find him. I’ve looked at the cameras, and it doesn’t look like he escaped, I don’t know.
Cat people are telling me he’s just hiding and that he’ll come back.
It’s an absolutely huge directory, he may very well be here.
Pray he turns up if you would.
Fr. Ripperger: “Demons can manipulate our emotions. This is why in the entire history of Catholic spiritual theology, every single Saint has warned against following our emotions in our spiritual life. Because God's not the only one who broadcasts on that channel.”
Dear Catholics :
It's not a service, it's a liturgy.
It's not a robe, they are vestments.
It's not wine, it's the Blood of Jesus Christ
It's not bread, it's the Body of Jesus Christ,
Its not a table, it's an altar
It's not a song, it's a hymn.
It's not a poem, it's a psalm
It's not a preacher, it's a priest
It's not only a personal relationship, it's a convenantal relationship
I love being Catholic, it's our life and lifestyle..

He sold his $8M Bugatti to build a Catholic City (and a Church, and a university!)
Tom Monaghan founded Domino’s Pizza and became a billionaire. He bought yachts, private jets, and the Detroit Tigers.
Then he read C.S. Lewis and had a massive reversion to his Catholic faith. He took a "millionaire's vow of poverty," sold the Tigers, sold his fleet of classic cars (including a $8M Bugatti), and gave away his fortune.
He used the money to build a Catholic university (Ave Maria) and a massive Church in Florida.
He proved that you can serve God or Money, but not both. But he also proved money is not evil, and as any tool can be used for good in the right hands.
Stay With Me, Lord
Prayer of St. Pio of Pietrelcina
Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak
and I need Your strength,
that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life,
and without You, I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light,
and without You, I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice
and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You
very much, and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is,
I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes;
death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength,
so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You.
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all it’s dangers. I need You.
Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread,
so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness,
the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You,
if not by communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it,
but the gift of Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You!
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more.
With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth
and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen
@MrCasey62 Why is she treating the word like it's evil? Because it's close to the word occult, which has an entirely different meaning? It's like saying the word fat is inherently evil because some people don't grammar good, rather than it's just an adjective...
In the Eucharist, we find a visible manifestation of the reality that we are the Church of Christ, His members, His body. We are brothers and sisters in Him. And in Christ, though many and diverse, we are one: "In Illo uno unum". #CorpusChristi#MagnificaHumanitas
