Are We Too Complacent?


Is it possible now that He so readily gives Himself to us that we have taken His great Gift for granted?

St. Jose Maria makes a good point here, especially important as we are in the season of Advent. Perhaps it would help us to think of ourselves as living a little Advent every time we receive Holy Communion. Let us bless the Lord for giving us what the Israelites could not have in all that time of waiting. Just thinking about this is staggering. It must have been monumental to the apostles when they consecrated the bread and wine.

While many lay Catholics, priests and bishops have remained silent during this election cycle, a few courageous souls have stepped forward and taught their family, friends, neighbors and/or flock the Truth - the Truth that binds every living human being. What is that Truth?  - that the most preeminent priority issue of our time is abortion - the willful and sinful killing of human life - made even more heinous by selling their dismembered body parts. There is no compelling proportionate reason anyone can offer to justify the physical dismemberment and killing of human life and the selling of those body parts! NONE!!!!!!   There is nothing ambiguous about this Truth.  It must be proclaimed in every home, city, village, town, and from every pulpit in this nation! This related Truth ...
