An Ancient Path

Reflecting on the Christian faith...

[An Ancient Path @anancientpath]

@Dondramaivy Who else would “The Way” refer to? Jesus Himself says “I am the Way” (Jn 14:6). Before we were called Christians at Antioch, we referred to ourselves as followers of The Way. You really should educate yourself before you engage on social media and display your ignorance 😬

@Dondramaivy Please do. It saves us the trouble of blocking you 🙌🏻

“A good man is not a perfect man;
a good man is an honest man,
faithful and unhesitatingly responsive
to the voice of God in his life.”

“The Gospels are not just a story of the past, to be looked back on with wonder, but are alive and effective now. The Christ who called the apostles and sent them out to preach the word is still calling.”

@cwwhiteNCR I have to ask:
Which is the more scandalous?

A. A young priest in a cassock, with an inch or two of lace on a cotta?
Or
B. A priest, credibly accused of a string of revolting sexual misdemeanours being incardinated into a diocese after bring expelled from the Jesuits?

“Be assured that if Christ himself is not the foundation of your whole building, it will collapse. Do not go into ecstasies over a grand house built by human hands; it will collapse, however tall it may be. Time will erase it.”
~ St. Charbel Makhlouf

“Francis, go and repair My house, which, as you see, is falling into ruin.”

He started locally, at the little Church of San Damiano where he had stopped to pray, but Francis was the means by which the Church experienced a mighty renewal in holiness.

May he pray for us today.

“If temptation reminds the monk to be vigilant, death requires it. Reflecting upon his mortality supports a clear and firm adjustment of his priorities. It is a reflection that leads not to self-absorption, but to self-denial.”
~ Fr. John Oliver

I am travelling in Montreal, Quebec starting today and will return to Ottawa on Wednesday. As a result, I will only be online intermittently.

Here's the deal—you pray for me, I'll pray for you, and the Lord Jesus Christ will make up the difference.

My youngest son received his First Holy Communion today. Please keep him, as well as his older brother and sister, in your prayers, that they continue to follow Christ’s path 🙏🏻

Asking for prayers for my boys .. just please pray for my sons … it’s all so complicated .. and it just compounds my own health and financial issues .. pray my faith is enough .. because that is all I have

“It is surprising that I am frequently asked for cures, but rarely for humility and the spirit of faith. Yet, they are so important…”
