    Feast of St. André Bissette

    Today marks the anniversary of the death of André Bessette and is his feast day. It is also celebrated many places (including Canada) on Jan 7 instead because the feast of Epiphany is also celebrated Jan 6.. St. Br. Andre was instrumental in the healing of my youngest son. For more info...

    Is the church....

    True. However one can say where the Church is but not where it is not.. The Lord can welcome into the Kingdom whomsoever He chooses... For when the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature observe the prescriptions of the law, they are a law for themselves even though they do not have the...

    Like a Lamb to the slaughter... Is that not the path of our Master? If we trust in Christ's promises, that we will never die.. For what then shall we raise our arms against our brothers? Peace be with you!

    Dear Barny, Excellent. That brings me back to this: Liberty to do what? Act contrarilly to your brethren? To worship God according to your ordinances and not His? It seems to me that well formed concience would be one that is more and more attuned to the Fathers will no? "I pray not only...

    If You Believe Your Denomination Is...

    Well of course it is! That's the whole point, the Church is the same Catholic Church planted in particular locations by the apostles and/or their successors. Paul > Titus> the Church in Crete being just one example... Ignatius was made bishop of Antioch (Syria) just as Titus was made bishop...

    In what way do you find that confusing? Here's John: Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. Thus we know this is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been...

    That you dont know who Ignatius is, demonstrates just how far removed you are from St. John's communuty. For Ignatius learned these things directly from John. Ignatius was made be bishop of the Church in Antioch by apostles. For both of these reasons you should consider what he says...

    Certainly, everyone has free will. But we are called to union with Christ and one another in the community He established. John makes it clear that abiding in His community is paramount.. They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have...

    How Do You Define Death?

    Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" For those who have passed from death to life, death no longer has any sting.... Be not afraid! Peace be...
