Hidden God

Our duty and primary mission as Catholics is to make Him known by the way we live our lives. Guess we have a bit more work to do!

Yes, we have more work to do, but also factor in the willful blindness of the many pharoahs today, drunk with power and money who refuse to give up their false gods and want to force the rest of us to offer sacrifice to them.

How right you are Barb!. I pray that we will respond to God's grace and not succumb to the trials about to come.

Monday Musings - Just Saying You Are Catholic Does Not Make You Catholic!

Image
If God used Balaam’s donkey to get that prophet’s attention, (Image from Biblebios.com) I guess he can use me to get yours. May these periodic postings on the second and fourth Mondays of each month (God willing) generate fruitful discussion and faithful change.   It is so easy to say you are a Catholic.

Eucharistic Reflection - Jesus, The Bread of Life

"You want to progress without Communion? But Christian tradition is against you! No longer say the Our Father, since you ask in that prayer for your daily Bread, the Bread you think to do without!   Without Communion, one is constantly in the heat of the battle. One knows only the difficulties in the acquisition of virtue, not the sweetness of its practice - the joy of working, not simply for oneself and moved solely by the hope of reward, but purely for the glory of God, from love of Him, from affec­tion, like little children. He who receives Communion finds it easy to understand that having received much, he must give a great deal in return. That is piety - intelligent, filial, and lov­ing piety. Besides, even in the severest trials, Communion makes the soul happy, filling it with a tender and loving joy.   The height of perfection is to remain united with God in the midst of the most violent interior temptations, and it is when you are most tempted that God most...
