"Not to believe in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest misfortune."

Turns out, leaving the Church en masse means a few generations later you no longer have a nation either.

[Fr. Joseph Krupp @Joeinblack]

Continuing my reading of Second Corinthians, I love how St. Paul boasts of his weakness.
I too am weak. I too have no ability to be a Christian without Him.
My weakness reveals The Fathers tender, strong, loving presence in a way my perceived strength doesn’t.
The love of My Heavenly Father is not clear in my dependability, but in my dependence.
I am so so grateful to be His little boy, utterly dependent, completely safe in His arms.

@johnamonaco Indeed. But like saint Paul says in Romans 8:28, Lord turns around everything for our good. 😀

Don't cut off your parents.

Yes, it is exceedingly difficult to “honor your father and your mother” when they have objectively failed you as parents. This is a heavy cross to bear, and those who bear it deserve our sympathy. But it is not heavier than the cross of Christ, who was more innocent than any one of us.

“No Contact,” by contrast, is not heroic. It is often the easy way out, and out with it goes the Fourth Commandment. If respect for our parents is rooted in fear of God, then “No Contact” is like sedevacantism, where we avoid a “bad pope” by insisting there’s no pope, or like a petulant breed of atheism that insists God is too mean to exist.

Even the most reprehensible parent can be talked to—maybe only once a month or twice a year, and maybe with much guardedness. But it must be done—conscientiously, resolutely, with unwavering attention to self-protection and protection of the innocents under our authority.

We’re not insular Jews or Amish. Our faith is contact. If we shun it in our own families, we’ll falter in it everywhere else.

[Fr. Joseph Krupp @Joeinblack]

Second Corinthians is one of those letters where you realize how terrible we humans are at recognizing the Saints of our generation.
It would be hard for us to look at St. Paul and see anything but a holy, brilliant, dedicated and extraordinary soul.
Yet, during his life, Gods People were often cruel to him, sabotaging and undermining his work, questioning his motives, theology, worthiness.

Father, give us eyes to see.
Help us to be good to those who try to serve you well.
Protect us from Christians who do not so much minister as they do evaluate ministers.
Give us eyes to see, Lord.
Amen

I have a dear friend who is now in hospice care. I was able to visit her today and tell her that I love her. What a gift it was to be able to see her and pray with her. Pray for Linda.

A very close friend of mine passed away today in a car accident in Vietnam.
She suffered severe brain injuries and sadly did not survive.
Please pray for her soul.

@JakeCathelineau @Joeinblack @CatholicKingdo1 You called me neurotic?! 🙂
You know neither of us, and went on to make nasty statement about us. I was only talking about you calling father e-priest and questioning his masculinity.

[Counter Culture @pursuesublime]

@JakeCathelineau @Joeinblack @CatholicKingdo1 What's it about Americans that gives you the right to speak to Priests like this? I'm horrified reading this. Do you people forget that Lord's reading your tweet too?
