    Perhaps we can better understand how it might be that a Catholic politician would be so saturated with a dominant secular opinion, supported by millions of dollars of donations, that even the gravest anti-human evil could be good.

    Thirty-First Sunday in Course 2022 Good morning, fellow sinners. If we forget that sobering fact, the Liturgy reminds us every time we come to Mass of our moral insufficiencies. And we get to say “through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault” and even strike our breasts every ...read more

    Remember The Bread

    based on 1 rating
     | 911 views

    Our Lord uses bread as a metaphor when the Disciples forget to bring some. This is to get them to open their spiritual eyes and see Who they are dealing with. They failed to understand that Jesus Christ was and is the Bread of Life.

    Matthew 16:5-12 (NKJV) "REMEMBER THE BREAD" August 6, 2023 What is this doctrine of the Pharisee and Sadducee? Luke 12:1 teaches that it is the doctrine of Hypocrisy. It is a people that say we uphold law and order until they themselves must be held accountable for their lawless actions. ...read more

    The Kingdom of God is like a fishing net that gathers as many souls as possible. Our job is to join God in spreading the net by sharing the good news of Jesus with everyone, without worrying about who is worthy. God will sort it all out in the end.

    Imagine this: You're on a boat, and you've got this massive net. You throw it out into the water, and it sinks, capturing all sorts of fish. You pull it back in, and you've got a boatload of fish, all different kinds. That's what Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is like. Jesus wasn't just talking ...read more
