Hello Jim, Are you ashamed of Jesus on the cross? One can spend endless days pondering the wonder of the Messiah suffering and dying for us.. You speak as if His crucifixtion was some kind of failure, rather than yhe victory over the enemy that it was.. Or perhaps looking upon it your...

Thanks David, Im touched by your heartfelt concern. But you see, I DO have faith in Him! I cant remember a time when I did not. Every faithful Catholic has faith in Jesus. Be careful not to be standing in the place of the accusor against your brethren.. Love is patient, love is kind. It is...

Of course. But again I ask, what is your issue with depicting HIS great act of love for us? For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Pax et Bonum

Dear David, You claim to know the Catholic faith but on almost every post you demonstrate ignorance as to what the Mass, the Divine Liturgy is, and what the Church from the very beginning has taught and believed regarding the Eucharist. For from the rising of the sun, even to its setting, my...

Happily, you are not my judge, but thank you for your concern! Pax et Bonum!

David, I have many times. What's your point? Pax et Bonum!

Hello Jim, Christ is risen from the tomb.. And very much alive. Why does depicting His great act of love for us discomfort you so? Peace be with you!

Hello David, Curious then why you were surprised at the reference to the Divine Liturgy as as the wedding feast.. Perhaps you never understood what it was you were participating in.. I know there are a lot of Catholics who dont understand juat Who it Is that they approach to receive...

Hello David, The celebration of the Divine Mysteries is not limited to Roman Catholics alone.. But yes, Jesus waits there on the altar to be intimately united with all who come Him! Peace be with you! Edit to add from the Catechism: 1244 First Holy Communion. Having become a child of God...

Hello Johann, We could speak of other mysteries revealed by God, the Incarnation, the Church, the death and ressurection of the Messiah, But it is the Sacraments to which Paul is referring when he says: Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God...

Not given to Paul only, Baptism Christmation Eucharist (often referred to as the Divine Mysteries) Reconcilliation Extreme Unction Ordination The 7 great mysteries or Sacraments of the Church. Peace be with you!

Amen!

Yep, same gospel. The Gospel that Paul shared with them, same Gospel, same mystery revealed to His apostles, and shared everywhere! Come and be united with HIM! All are welcome to come to the wedding feast of the Lamb of God! Peace be with you!

Hi Cassandra, Both perhaps. The first record of the use of 'catholic' to refer to the whole Church, everywhere is found in the writings of Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch circa 100 AD. Ignatius of Antioch Peace be with you!

Agreed! Peace be with you!

Hello David, And yet Paul here calls himself a father to the Corinthians.. Is this a contradiction? Or are you confusing the letter of Jesus' prohobition with the spirit? To call a man father, rabbi, teacher, doctor.. Is it the words themselves that are the issue, or the recognition that...

What garbage, Paul's Gospel, is the very same Gospel Jesus spent years preparing the Apostles to announce.. St. Paul would be horrified at your misguided attempt to divide the body... one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one...

Even if you should have countless guides to Christ, yet you do not have many fathers, for I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Peace be with you!

I disagree completely. The old body is transformed made incorruptible, but it remains our body, just as Jesus retains the same flesh that was born of Mary, suffered and died for us, and rose again! Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not...

Lay down your life in service to your wife just as Christ did for His Church, forgiving her all things, bearing all things, cherishing and loving her with all your heart.. Peace be with you!
