I discovered this a few years ago and thought I would share it. Peace and all good, Nancy You lived on earth, King of heaven, to lead me to heaven - I who had been cast out of paradise. You were born in the flesh of the Virgin to give me birth in the spirit. You suffered insults to silence...

I was reading the Gospel of Matthew last night and one passage has stayed with me all day. "I tell you on the day of judgment men will render an account of every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Mat12:36-37 I...

Let us all take joy in the rising of Jesus from the dead. Peace and all good, Nancy

A few years ago I found a book of meditations based on the writings of St. John of the Cross, the meditation for day two smacked me in the face in that I recognized myself and did not like it. I try and keep these passages in mind, it is not always easy, but it is beneficial. As a beginner on...

My brothers and sisters in Christ, I have felt for sometime that I spend to much time talking about Jesus and not enough time talking to Jesus, so this is the last time that I will post in this Forum for the month of November. I say this because I have posted in some threads, but will not...

This may seem very elementary to some, but I have never understood what it means to worship in the spirit. Can someone please explain this to me? Thanks, Nancy

This is a question that I am beginning to wonder about. I do not mean explaining to someone who is honestly questioning, but rather should we even answer a question to a poster whose sole purpose is to degrade our belief in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist? Are we providing a forum...

I was reading the Bible this evening and for the first time Mt. 5:16 really lept out at me. The verse says: Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father. I have always viewed alms giving, praying and fasting as Jesus told...

God has answered my prayers that my younger son find a job in his chosen field. He has been offered and accepted a 10 month contract teaching in a community college in California. What a wonderful and merciful God we have. God Bless, Nancy

I need to give GT a break, I get so frustrated with people who have left the Catholic Faith and because they were once Catholic believe that they know what we believe. More times then not they haven't a clue and when Catholics try to tell them where they are mistaken, they switch to something...

After reading many of the threads here, I would like to suggest that instead of tearing apart the Body of Christ we try and build up the Body of Christ. What is it that we agree on? That Jesus Christ is God and by the Incarnation became man and lived among us. The He is both fully human and...

Much discussion has occured here about praying to saints, but I would like to bring another dimention to the saints. By reading the lives of the saints we find people who we can emulate, someone to model our life on. Of course we should model our life on Christ, but it has also helped me to...

I found this Litany of the Saints on Youtube. It is the Litany that my parish sings at the Easter Vigil. I find it very beautiful and if you will notice, it begins and ends with Jesus the Christ. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzlTeuUPpmQ

As you can see I am a Catholic and I admit that I know very little about the Orthodox Church. From reading some posts on GT I have some questions concerning Orthodox beliefs and how they differ from Catholic beliefs. If you do not mind could you tell me what the Orthodox belief is concerning...

I have been to church on Good Friday before, but when I went to the Stations of the Cross today at noon, what really struck me was that He is not in the tabernacle. I have gotten in the habit of stopping by my church on my way home from work and just spending a few minutes in prayer, but today...
