Hi John, Interesting, and apt.. For the Lord's Supper is when God wed His people Israel, as He promised He would do.. At the time prescribed by Moses, Jesus offers Himself to the Father as the Pascal Lamb (the bride price). Then the Groom gives Himself to His bride: 'this is My Body, take...

Hello mailmandan, If that PEW research poll was accurate, then apparently many North American Catholics would agree with you. It is this very erroneous understanding of the Eucharist that Bishop Baron is addressing in his presentation. Who's flesh profits nothing? Jesus just finished...

A Saint is a sinner that keeps trying. St. Josemaria Escriva Can we finish the race? Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes...

The government of Canada has reintroduced a bill to make access to Euthanasia easier. I would urge all Canadians to speak up to their MP's on this matter and put a stop to the advance of the 'culture of death'; so aptly named by JohnPaul the Great. Canadian religious leaders condemn Bill C-7...

I came across an excellent explanation of the Catholic understanding of the Eucharist here: Enjoy! Peace be with you!

No surprise that they left this one out: Let us see whether his words be true; let us find out what will happen to him. For if the just one be the son of God, he will defend him and deliver him from the hand of his foes. With revilement and torture let us put him to the test that we may have...

Hmmm.. Ironic that you would say that with the name of 'charity'. ;) " Even though incorporated into the Church, one who does not however persevere in charity is not saved. He remains indeed in the bosom of the Church, but 'in body' not 'in heart." Catechism of the Catholic Church -...

There won't be anybody not believing in the Judge when they stand before Him.. And neither will anyone be able to argue with His judgements... Peace!

Hello charity, I would think so, yes. And does not Jesus tell us His standard in Matt 25: 31-46 ? Love! Not some squishy feeling but laying down ones life to serve those around us... As John says ' all who love are born of God' And Paul warns us 'if I have faith to move mountains, but have...

Hello Ziggy, Be subordinate to one another out of reverence for Christ You too! Are welcome to come to the wedding feast of the Lamb of God! Peace be with you!

True! But that does not give us the right to sit in judgment on those that have not yet been given the gift of faith.. Rather let us pray for them, and let the love of Christ so shine forth that all are drawn to Him! A bruised reed he will not break, a smoldering wick he will not quench...

In my opinion, we are not to judge others outside the Church. The Lord who knows their hearts will judge righteously and with mercy.. Peace be with you!

Rom 2:14-16 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 law. They show that the demands of the law are written in their hearts, 6 while their conscience also bears witness and...

"This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you. Peace!

Same being, different persons. Peace be with you!

Hi Naomi, Thank you for responding... All that time in the garden and they could eat from any tree.. Why did they not eat from the tree of life? Was it unappealing to the eyes?? Peace be with you!

Rather, Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things Peace be with you!

Thank you ziggy, That made my day! Christ is risen! Alleluia!

Indeed, the union of a man and woman is the image of the union of Christ and His Church. But it would be a cold marriage indeed, should the bride never again receive her Husband ! Peace!
