We VOLUNTARILY enter into CHRIST'S DEATH .(Rom. 6: 3, 5) Christ's RESURRECTION in us comes as a result of Christ's death in us. (1). DEATH FIRST (2). RESURRECTION SECOND. No one can BY-PASS DEATH .....and go DIRECTLY to RESURRECTION . reminded of what He endured will make you STRONG so...

It is not a crime to "be aware of it and recognizing what was done for us." Even though the devils know that. -------------------------- NO, IT IS NOT ENOUGH. -------------------------- That is why THE ENEMY wants to keep AWAY as many as possible ... from THE SACRIFICE OF CHRIST . In...

I love this. I would say;... It is the HOLY SPIRIT who represents CHRIST'S DEATH before us in the Eucharist. (often by surprise !) Try to think beyond the limitations of time... Imagine Jesus taking John Paul II for a ride in his '63 Ford Galaxie... as they inspect the creation of new...

OH, they "believe" in the sacrifice, alright. They believe CHRIST'S SACRIFICE ENDED shortly after it began. (not quite as SHORT as a 4th of July fire-cracker, BUT ALMOST.) That is same as saying that THE INTERSTATE HIWAY SYSTEM was abolished after it was "FINISHED". Evangelicals (and...

Thanks for this insight. I also learned that "The blood of Christ who THROUGH THE ETERNAL SPIRIT OFFERED HIMSELF UP unblemished to God cleans our conscience from dead works to WORSHIP THE LIVING GOD !"and THROUGH THE SAME ETERNAL SPIRIT From the RIGHT HAND OF GOD, he offers himself to us and...

Thanks for the "Peace be with you!" ZooMom, I appreciate all the PEACE I can get. :D All this "forever" time I have been at CARM debating with many Evangelicals and also with my local relatives who are now ex-catholics. VERY INTRESTING Everything they say against the RCC, I prayerfully...

Reformers CAN NOT BELIEVE that Transubstantiation is NECESSARY to "keep the Sacrifice of Christ." To them this is confusing language. (maybe with the LANGUAGE FROM HEAVEN ... they could be brought to UNDERSTAND.) The flesh and blood of Christ is NECESSARY for us in THE NEW COVENANT...

You CAN afford it. It is FREE. (1). Go to a Catholic Mass and THANK GOD you are not laying cold in a MORGUE. (2). Have you ever been in LOVE ? God designed us to BE IN LOVE 100% of our time. "He who abides in LOVE abides in God and God in him.... He who does not abide in LOVE abides in...

Jesus is asking ..."Whose image is on the coin ?" and he is asking ..."Whose IMAGE is on YOU & I ?" So... If we are an ordinary Catholic in ordinary time, we should be able to realize that ; Each one of us is made in THE IMAGE OF GOD., and "The Lord's is the Earth and the fullness...

Thank you for this beautiful post. If we lean on THE WORD OF GOD, we will be able to bring back the Catholics who have left. It makes me want to bite my tongue when we say; (A) "the unbloody, re-presentation of the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary". When we say "unbloody" sounds like we are...

I agree that this speaks directly to our faith. ... Knowing that John McCain suffered imprisonment and torture for His Country ...as a LIVING SACRIFICE, is enough for me to know that his service is GENUINE. "There is no greater Love than this: to lay down one's life for his friends."...

I think something is missing here... or is it that ...something is present here that should NOT BE here ? Like trying to start a fire but we can't find a match. or Maybe we found the matches ... but the wood is damp and won't ignite ! parishoners have been known to have the habit of...

Now I think we are getting to the HEART of Evangelism (according to Acts 2: 42) (A). KERYGMA THE CATECHUMENATE (what the Apostles taught)... (B). KOINONIA... fellowship in THE HOLY SPIRIT.QUIET, CONTEMPLATIVE (on going ) CONVERSION. (C). EUCHARISTIA... The New Covenant in The HOLY SPIRIT...

"It is important that we continue on our course, no matter what stage we have reached." Phil 3: 16 what is important is that "HE WHO PLANTS and HE WHO WATERS work to the same end. Each will receive his wages in proportion to his toil. ...It is God who makes it GROW." 1 Cor. 3: 8, 6...

I agree. If we pay close attention to our own sincerety and reverence in the LITURGY,and personal prayerlife, we can see what kind of EVANGELISM and fruit flows from our inner-most being. Eph. 1: 17, 18 And that is how God wants it. 1 Cor. 2: 11 John 21: 22

I have never once mentioned "street evangelism" although If the Holy Spirit leads. ... I will do it. :D I am aware of many opportunities for REAL EVANGELISM in normal gatherings within Church functions, ...unless one is of the mind-set that practicing Catholics "don't need to be...

AH, YES, that's where it is... I have found (by asking God for help) and through Christ, fellowship and communion, and searching the Scriptures That the Holy Spirit has been leading me INTO THE NEW COVENANT. :D

(1). "He was spurned and avoided by men, ..." Isaiah 53: 3 (2). "Blest are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of slander against you because of me. Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is gresat in heaven; They persecuted the prophets before you in the very...
