  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Human situation

“Love to be blind, since it is I who am leading you if you really want to put your hand in Mine. Don’t you think fathers are happy when their little girls leave everything to them in simple tenderness?”

Bossis, Gabrielle. He and I (Kindle Locations 1356-1357).
Pauline Books and Media. Kindle Edition.

There are many impossible human situations, where the only thing one can do is show compassion, and simply be present in the path that has no signposts. Sometimes all one can do is to pray, understanding that what cannot be understood, has a deeper meaning that only God can deal with.

Not always an answer many are looking for.

The hard truth is that we understand little, yet we live out a mystery that has so much depth that we will never reach the end of it.

Jesus, in the chaos of his last hours, in his crying out on the cross to the father "Why have you abandoned me", still, never lost hope.

On the cross, we see our own souls, our pain, and yes, often, our feeling of loss and despair......yet we like Jesus, are asked to abandon ourselves into the hands of the Father.

"Father, into your hands I commend my spirit"

One day each of us will face that moment, our death,, let us prepare now by living out of our faith, seeking to become more loving even in the midst of the suffering that is so much a part of life.-Br.MD

The hard truth is that we understand little, yet we live out a mystery that has so much depth that we will never reach the end of it.

This statement so profound that when we ponder on this we know The Truth will always provide a way out as long as we hope in God, and not stare ourselves blind at our own inability to add any more truth to the truth of God than has been revealed.

In short it is not about us in fallen reality, but about our Heavenly Father and Brother in His glorious reality. To attain His Truth is eternal life, no matter how broken, blind, deaf, lame, mute, or even dead, we may be within our broken and divided self, we hope in Jesus, and not stare ourselves blind at our own sin and misery, rather we leave such existence, to find new life in our Lord.

Psalms 34:18
"The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
