    What is God's "Plan" For You?

    Hi John, Hi John, like Him in all things, reflecting His Glory and Goodness. Purified of all that is not of Him, loving perfectly even as we are loved... I mean our body will rise from the dead, even as HE did, transformed, made immortal and incorruptible.. For if the dead are not...

    Were the Church Fathers Sent by God?

    Hi Barney, You would be incorrect about that. Indeed we call the Divine Liturgy 'Mass' because we are 'sent' out into the world to bring the love of Christ to all.. All are welcome to come to the wedding feast of the Lamb of God! Peace be with you!

    The difference in churches

    Hello Jay? 'put down'? since when is Truth a put down? A schism occurs when bishops of a particular church (or churches) no longer remain in communion with other bishops and their particular churches. The communities that have grown out of the rebellion of the Reformation are not churches in...

    What is God's "Plan" For You?

    HI John, "Theosis (Greek: θέωσις), or deification (deification may also refer to apotheosis, lit. "making divine"), is a transformative process whose aim is likeness to or union with God" God's plan for us? To unite us with Himself and transform us into His perfect image and likeness...

    What is God's "Plan" For You?

    1 John 3:2 Beloved, we are God's children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 2Cor 3:18 All of us, gazing with unveiled face on the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same...

    The difference in churches

    Hello Jay, People can claim whatever they like, but if they have not been ordained by those in the Church with the authority to do so, their claim is empty. Peace be with you!

    The difference in churches

    Hello Jim, From the Church. From the beginning the Church has given episcopal authority through the laying on of hands by other bishops and the apostles before them. This has been the practice of the Church for 2000 years. No one has the right to claim or confer eposcipal authority except...

    The difference in churches

    Hi John, The Church is catholic and orthodox by definition. If you are referring to particular churches: There was a schism with the Bishop of Alexandria circa 400 AD and that church is known as the Coptic Orthodox.. There was another schism with the Patriarch of Constantinople circa 1050...

    Questioning the Apostles

    I am speaking as to sensible people; the bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? So soon, we celebrate again, the day God wed His people! All are welcome, to come to the wedding feast of the Lamb of God! Peace be with you!

    Is there an 8th Day?

    I am speaking as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I am saying. The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Very soon we will again celebrate the dawn of that 8th day...

    Spiritual Shepherding

    Hello Fluffy, I think that is a great question! I would suggest a review of this section of the CCC: Catechism of the Catholic Church - IntraText for instruction on that very thing. And, of course, there are multiple Saints who's lives/writings provide excellent examples of living out...

    Catholic issues

    Hi Chris, Indeed, His words are Spirit and life, so we should probably believe them, rather than the perceptions of our flesh shouldn't we? If we believe He is Who He is, then we must trust that He speaks Truth when He says that we must eat His flesh and drink His blood to have life. It is...

    Catholic issues

    Hello charity, Interesting. Let's look then at what He says: I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." ... Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    I believe he may have made a typo... 'How do you put on Christ' ? And enter into the communion of the saints? Baptism and Eucharist is the answer.. 1243 The white garment symbolizes that the person baptized has "put on Christ," has risen with Christ. the candle, lit from the Easter candle...

    Catholic issues

    Why would you assume there is no input of the Holy Spirit? It is in fact faith in the Holy Spirit to guide, protect, correct and build Christ's Church that accounts for the preservation of the deposit of faith, given once for all to the apostles. The whole life of the Church flows from Jesus...
