[Fr. Thomas Petri OP @PetriOP]

The goal of the Christian life isn't simply to “get into heaven” and avoid hell. Salvation is ultimately binary—we either enjoy the vision of God or we don't—but the life of grace isn't.

St. Paul says that we are being transformed into the likeness of Christ “from one degree of glory to another” (2 Cor 3:18). Grace enlarges the soul. Charity can grow. Holiness can deepen. We can become more and more capable of knowing and loving God.

The Christian question isn't merely, “Will I get into heaven?” but, “What is grace making of me?” A Christianity concerned only with whether we've done enough to make the cut is rudimentary. Christ didn't come merely to get us across a threshold. He came to make us saints.

Dr. John Bergsma—one of the great Catholic converts biblical theologians of our day—has a son with deadly brain cancer. The medical expenses have become overwhelming, exceeding what is covered by insurance.

Please support them in their hour of need.

May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.

@JeremyMcLellan Sorry, I have too much humility to answer that question.

@Bleppsama @ScottMGreer This blows my mind. This isn’t nearly everyone. I just finished a top 5 public college with 24,000 in debt. That is significantly less than one year of admission at my school. I had no parental money and didn’t even do anything special. That said, usury is evil

@Tradawg_ @TeawithTolkien Seconded, that’s no fun. Seeing the smallest fellow parishioners again the past few sundays has been a real joy.

Don’t have a trench coat either, but there is Can. 912 and ¶ 91 of Redemptionis Sacramentum.

@Tradawg_ @TeawithTolkien Ah thank you, this completely clarifies.

@BishopUmbers I converted 1 year ago because The Church is a still, consistent voice in a noisy, chaotic world. What my generation wants is a place for tradition and beauty in a world that abandons everything the moment it is familiar. Won’t leave, but I wouldn’t have converted with “laxing”

@SebGorka @TuckerCarlson Don’t you have another back pain infomercial to hawk snake oil on you can do instead of denouncing a real conservative

@alexjmazzara Also it was a long scheduled event the shrine was happy about.

@AbpEtienne This is a political statement (as a bishop) in which you pose holding a bible as a prop to justify your response to a politician.
