You should wear a St. Benedict Medal. Why?
It’s one of the Church’s most powerful sacramentals.

But most people have no idea where it comes from or what it really says.

This is the story of the Saint Benedict's Medal:

• St. Padre Pio says;

"Do not allow sadness to dwell in your soul, for sadness prevents the Holy Spirit from acting freely."

[☩ 𝕁𝕄𝕋 ☩ @SecretFire79]

Have you ever wondered? God could have simply created a full-grown human body for His Son and sent Him to earth, just as He formed Adam. But why did Jesus have to have a human mother to become human?

If Jesus had appeared on earth without being born of a woman, He would have been a different human race, He would have had no share in the fallen humanity that came from Adam. He would have stood apart from the race that sinned. And because of that, He could not have redeemed it.

To redeem the race of Adam, Jesus had to become one with the race of Adam.
He had to share our blood, our flesh, our ancestry. He had to be truly of us. That is why He was born of the Virgin Mary. That is why Scripture calls Him:

- The Son of Man
- The Son of Adam (Luke 3:38)

Only someone inside the family of Adam could pay the debt of Adam’s family. If an outsider (even the Son of God appearing as a man) had paid it, the Devil himself could have accused God of injustice. But when Jesus, fully God and fully Man, born of a woman, born under the Law, lived a sinless life and gave Himself on the cross, He paid the price as one of us, in our name, in our place.

Divine justice was satisfied. The debt was legally and righteously paid by a true Kinsman-Redeemer.

This is the beauty of the Incarnation:

God did not save us from afar.
He entered our bloodline.
He became our Brother.
So that we could become children of God.

“Thank You, Lord Jesus, for choosing to be born of a woman… so You could save us who were born in sin.”

Nobody builds this

for grape juice and symbolism.

If the early Christians believed what modern Protestants believe,

the Church Fathers forgot to mention it for 1,500 years.

One Catholic just dismantled that myth piece by piece.

Watch this.

There’s a reason Protestants avoid this comparison.

It’s not weak.

It’s devastating.

Watch.

[Dennis ✝️🎮🏀🏈 @RussNRoses]

As a Protestant - I talked with many people about what drives a lifelong Protestant like me to Catholicism.

So I wanted to show you all my most basic reasoning.

1. Tangibility: The sacraments, the literal implications of things like the Eucharist & the basic concept of the Christian life imputed on to us.

Both body & soul are important & require tangible nourishment. If it's just an idea - what's the value? The word became flesh. Is means is.

That's so important.

2. Unity: I would believe an omnipotent God would want his people, his chosen people unified.

God is not a contradiction - so neither can be his church.

Protestants say - that the Church is body of all believers - but how can God - this God of no failure be OK with theological contradiction, fights & 1000s of different interpretations.

That sounds insane to me - so I must believe there is one full truth out there & it just begs the question: What it is?...

3. Verifiability: Catholicism definitely by most rational standards has history & traditional teachings on their side....

Take out the fallible middlemen, where I say Eucharist is literal & you say not... Who can be right? If we tread it academically, historically by knowledge verification, all points show towards Catholicisms claims at least potentially true - how can you reform something you fan never show was there early to begin with, and the fact that all Protestant denominations are built on disagreeing founders one after another...

4. Contingency:

If you look and start even at the OT - everything from Genesis to Revelation - there was a contingent line of succession built, God chose many humans for their roles:

Abraham, Noah, Moses, David, Mary & Joseph & the Apostles...

They all were handpicked to build a line & do God's work on earth. Special privilege came with lots of responsibility handed out. Leadership & such was given to them.

It shows the Sainthood, that authority, and that it isn't the Reformed Protestant Version of:

Just God - no other mediators as they like to say.

No - time & time again - God's saints & chosen people where selected for the great deeds they did. That's community, sainthood, intercessory & all things Catholics believes verify this to me.

5. Founding

At a foundational level - the Catholic Church existed for 2000 years.. it's strong to this day. And yes - I did struggle with people in the Catholic Church doing bad things... but that is not different in Protestantism either...

But other than Protestantism - the Church survived bad people. The theology & tradition seem to be safeguarded by something...
I think this is what The Bible meant when it said: I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 16:19)

& „And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.“ (Matthew 16:18)

Now that's foundation, confirmation & at the core given authority....

I have never seen a Protestant being able to give a sufficient answer & apply it to them.

There's more. But this is what it comes down to, too.

(More reasons to come later or another day - these are long & hard to write by hand ❤️🙏)

[Saint Adaugoijele ✝️ @JustAdaugoijele]

Need a miracle?
Ask for the intercession of St. Charbel Makhlouf!

Modern-day miracles of this great Saint;

A blind woman from Arizona was healed in 2016 after venerating the relics of St. Charbel. The medical committee investigating the miracle admitted, "We have no medical explanation and therefore believe this to be a miraculous healing through the intercession of St. Charbel.”

In France, a baby boy was destined to die, so the family used some oil from St. Charbel's tomb and prayed a novena to St. Charbel for a miraculous healing. According to the family, "The doctors told us that he would sleep more and more and eat less and less. Instead, he was becoming increasingly alert and continued to drink his bottles in small doses. At the end of September, Côme was evaluated again. To our joy and to the astonishment of the doctors, his condition had improved so much that it was determined he would live ... The Blessed Virgin and St. Charbel protected him."

There are many more miracles reportedly dedicated to St. Charbel, proving that God enjoys working miracles through this humble Lebanese saint.

A Powerful prayer to Saint Charbel in times of need

O Lord, infinitely holy and glorified in your saints, you inspired the holy monk and hermit Saint Sharbel to live and die in the way of Jesus Christ and gave him the strength to detach himself from the world in order to make the monastic virtues triumph in his hermitage.

We implore you to bestow upon us the grace to love you and to serve you by following his example.

Almighty God, who manifested the power of Saint Charbel’s intercession by numerous miracles and favors, grant us, through his intercession, this grace (state your intention).
Amen.
Our father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

While we are never "guaranteed" a miracle when praying to God through a saint, the process can often transform our hearts and help us be prepared for whatever plan God has designed.
