  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Prayer to St. Michael to Love My Cross

Glorious St. Michael, Prince of the heavenly hosts, you who remained steadfast and loyal to God, I turn to you for strength. I ask you to help me carry my cross, not with resentment, but with the love and grace of a servant heart.

Obtain for me the grace to love my God and Saviour Jesus above all things, just as you do. When my soul is burdened by the cross I carry, be my light, my consolation, and my protector. Help me to see in my suffering a path to victory, rather than a cause for despair.

Defend me from the evil one who seeks to make me resent my trials. Enable me by your powerful intercession to accept my daily crosses, so that I may be victorious and follow you in total loyalty to God. Amen.
