Hippolytus is the first antipope & the one antipope to become a saint sharing a feast day with St. Pope Pontian. They became saints not because they lived lives where they were innocent. They became saints because they lived lives where they were forgiven. https://t.co/ro1WAf60Vi

The heart of God is “I just want to be with you, whatever it takes.” This is true about Jesus wanting to be with God the Father and this is also true about Jesus wanting to be with each of us.

When we see as God sees, we see that all the good things and very good people God created are intended to help us experience the kingdom of heaven, and that we should get rid of anything that is keeping us from experiencing and furthering the kingdom of heaven.

Why are you Catholic?
In our Gospel reading today, Jesus says five times that we should be taking him literally when he says he wants us to eat his flesh. Jesus wasn’t speaking symbolically. https://t.co/KAtAE2HL3Y

We may start our journey as seekers, but before our story here on this earth ends, we are meant to become overjoyed believers. The wise men worshiped Jesus, honoring God with how they use their gifts so that the world may be blessed by these gifts. If we are wise, we will too.

Traditions

[Deacon Justin Moor @toledodeacon]

By changing the way we think about dying, we may very well change the way we think about living. Death and birth are simply different stations of the same journey of birth after birth and life after life we are all meant to discover and experience. https://t.co/1GlPSRQ9ja

If ever there is a conflict between what God wants us to do and what those closest to us want us to do, we must have a preference for pursuing what God wants us to do.

The only limits to Jesus’ love and mercy are the limits we place on it. Read "A Space" Homily at: https://t.co/Uo5gzlGFTo

We are a victorious Easter people who are simply having a Lenten experience. https://t.co/wxZyONpIDc

[Deacon Justin Moor @toledodeacon]

Sometimes, Jesus only blesses us to the extent we allow him to bless us. If we only halfway do something, maybe we only experience half of his blessings. When we fully do what Jesus wants us to do, that’s when we fully experience the blessings Jesus wants us to experience.

Jesus picks us lost sheep up on his shoulders with a smile on his face and says to us, “no matter how little you are, no matter how many times you’ve turned your back on me and walked away from me, no matter how long gone you are, I won’t give up on you.” https://t.co/vLQuplCO10

Jesus comes here today, picks us lost sheep up on his shoulders with a smile on his face and says to us, "no matter how little you are, no matter how many times you’ve turned your back on me and walked away from me, no matter how long gone you are, I won’t give up on you."

How we spend our Advent will determine whether we celebrate Christmas as just a holiday or if we celebrate Christmas as a holy day.

“As the number of older people increases, keeping pace with the rise of life expectancy, it will become more and more important to promote a widespread attitude of acceptance and appreciation of the elderly.” Letter of His Holiness St. Pope John Paul II to the Elderly

[Deacon Justin Moor @toledodeacon]

The rich young man shows us what not to do. He made two critical mistakes that cost him dearly and I believe he wants us to learn from his mistakes, so we don’t make the same mistakes.
1. Put God first.
2. Have but do not to hold.

May we be like Jairus by focusing on being grateful for all Jesus has done for us, enjoying being in his presence, caring about what Jesus is asking of us, and by doing so maybe we’ll let our loved one get a little more sleep. Be Like Jairus Homily: https://t.co/TMJIRm7K9Q

[Deacon Justin Moor @toledodeacon]

Too many of us have allowed our politics to become our religion. Ultimately, the Devil doesn’t really care if we are worshipping the donkey or the elephant as long as we aren’t worshipping the Lamb. The Lamb of God has already won eternal salvation for each and every person.

[Deacon Justin Moor @toledodeacon]

As we too gather days after the eclipse, perhaps struggling to recognize how Jesus is walking and talking with us on our journeys, we too can ask Jesus to enter under our roof. May our eyes be opened to recognize Jesus, believe, and become witnesses. https://t.co/9hubW3wpi5
