Wanted to share this:

I'm just back from Mass at the Cathedral, and wanted to share one of the thoughts from the Homily:


We were reminded that in today's world, we are often forced into the position where we have to vehemently defend the Catholic Church, and that we become a staunch Catholic instead of being a staunch Christian.

We were then reminded that being a good Catholic IS being a good Christian, and that we must defend our faith, not just our doctrine.

Very true.........what good is salt if it has lost its saltiness

Thanks for sharing that ej

good advice. i also just finished reading through on some site and oddly enough i heard a non-denominational preacher on tv preaching about the same subject. how we're all the body of Christ and that if one joint is wounded the whole body is. it was focussing on the untiy of Christians rather than the "denominations" which he said were the greatest deceipt of the devil. gotta agree on that one

You will not believe it EJ, but just today, I was thinking of the same thing during Mass at the homilie in my Cathedral *L*. About being a Christian first and foremost, and practicing within the Faith. About loving first and letting all the rest follow. *ss* Some things are not stopped by oceans...
