Hi rocky, Indeed. 1. The liturgy of the word 2. The liturgy of the Eucharist Is how our brothers and sisters have done it for 2000 years. Here's Justin Martyrs brief description of it from about 150 AD And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to...

I respect many of your posts Willie, but rushing to judgement without knowing what is going on there is not prudent and seems out of character for you. I probably should have stayed quiet.. So I will withdraw, just one more thing.. I dont think so. A quick perusal of his threads will reveal...

Do you often make judgements from mere appearances without any knowledge of what is occurring?

Well perhaps rather than gossiping or mocking that which one does not understand, one should make an effort to learn what it is they are doing? As for the op, not sure what that is. The use of icons would suggest an eastern rite church, and I expect that it shows some local custom.. Peace!

If one wants to find babylon, they would do well to find all that the prophets say about it. Habukuk is a good place to start: For see, I am raising up Chaldea, that bitter and unruly people, That marches the breadth of the land to take dwellings not his own. Terrible and dreadful is he...

Have a blessed New Year! Congrats on the baby :)

Umm.. Because the Church that Jesus established through His apostles still stands? Many have called for its demise, and yet she has filled the whole world as prophesied... And now the devil will have his hour as she follows in the footsteps of her Master's passion... But after crucifixtion...

Which effectively calls Jesus a false prophet for saying the gates of hell would not prevail against it.... Which is of course ridiculous, making the great falling away of the reformation the likely candidate for the fulfillment of that prophecy.... as they make a pretense of religion but deny...

Well they would pretty much have to, to try and justify their rebellion wouldnt they... They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their desertion shows that none of them was of our number. Pax!

And yet the study you posted clearly disagrees with you... Peace!

Your study did not clear up the question... Again, you show that there is indeed a final purification... Holding to such while vehemently insisting that catholics are wrong to assert such is disingenuous. Peace!

Hello John, Catholics pray and offer the sacrifice of the Mass for the salvation of the whole world. But there may be some who willfully and knowingly reject the life the God offers them. There is a wide range of speculation on the severity of judgement of the world, but I for one will hope...

I don't understand. How is 'a judgement of works by fire', not a purification?

How do you reconcile these two contradictory statements? Peace!

Are you letting Him purify you? The more we alllow Him to purify us now, the less loss we shall suffer at the final purification. Peace!

Bingo

Hello Ezra, Being 'tested bt fire' and 'being purified by fire'... How do you see a difference between these two statements? Merry Christmas!

the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen. Father, we praise you and we thank you for the great gift of your Son, the Light of the world, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and...

And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.' Peace!

Desolation of the soul. This in my opinion is the greatest of Jesus' sufferings, and I cant even begin to think about the suffering of the Father in this moment without being overwhelmed. Our Father did not forsake Jesus, ever. But Jesus could not feel His presence and the pain of that...
