Saw my first “Reformation Month” post of the year; this is also the month of the Holy Rosary. So here’s an idea; lament the schism that vivisects the Body of Christ, and pray for the reunification of God’s people. May we one day no longer be estranged from our separated brethren.
Happy Feast Day Saint Therese of Lisieux Doctor of the Church
1873-1897 Feast Day: October 1 (New), October 3 (Trad) Patronage: Missions St. Therese of Lisieux was a French Discalced Carmelite nun, popularly known as The Little Flower. She was a highly influential model of sanctity for others because of the “simplicity and practicality of her approach to the spiritual life.” She entered Carmel at the early age of 15 and died of tuberculosis at the age of 24. Together with St. Francis of Assisi she is one of the most popular saints in the history of the Church. Pope Pius X called her “the greatest saint of modern times.”

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Matthew 5:44 (via petalier)
“But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”-2 Corinthians 12:9
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations,
Deuteronomy 7:9
(via

)
People, the Bible never promises that we won’t ever be sick or in pain. The Bible also never says that we are guaranteed healing and health if we ask. What it does say is that Gods Grace is sufficient no matter how big or small our thorn may be.
We have a God who knows firsthand what it is to suffer. He sets an example for us of how to engage with our suffering and equips us with everything we need to handle it for his glory. That may or may not include removing the thorn from our side, but he is with us at every step and his power is made perfect in weakness.
The Pope and the Vatican do NOT speak for ALL Christians, NOR do they dictate when Easter happens, thank you very much.
It is STILL the celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ’s Resurrection, and as such, is NOT dependant on the word of one mortal man.
The Lord is our Father, NOT Pope Francis.
Yes, I understand WHY he has cancelled Mass/services/whatever at St. Peters, but that does NOT mean he has the AUTHORITY to cancel Easter itself.
Only God Himself could do that, and we ALL know that He won’t.
Jesus: Stop telling everyone I’m dead!
Pope (tearfully): Sometimes I can still hear his voice.
How dare you make a reference this funny
I feel like this is applicable
This entire thread is extremely ignorant of Catholicism, but what’s new
Even Catholics know the pope doesn’t have the authority to cancel Easter. Also the whole “God can forgive your sins directly if you can’t get to a priest” has always been a thing in emergencies but God WANTS us to go to priests to confess our sins and be forgiven of them. That’s the mechanism He gave us to do so. For many reasons but among them to remind us that despite what modern sects would have us believe Christianity was never meant to be solely between an individual and the voice in their head they think is God, it was always meant to be communal, physical, and sacramental.
^^ Your sin affects your community. The Priest isn’t only there to forgive you in the place of Christ, but to also reconcile you to your community on their behalf.
The Pope canceled masses on Easter, not Easter itself. This is supposed to be IN CONTRAST WITH all the mega-churches and non-denominational Christians and Protestants who STILL PLAN ON ATTENDING EASTER SERVICES DESPITE THE PANDEMIC! Wow, so much ignorance all around.
Now, prepare to be educated:
The Sacrament of Reconciliation comes from the Gospel of John 20:21-23 and Exodus 20:19.
This sacrament is good for us because we as humans need to say that we are sorry but also hear back that we are forgiven, both of which occur in this sacrament. The priest acts “in persona Christi” meaning Christ is present and acting through the priest. So it’s Jesus that forgives your sins, in person, via the sacrament. The sacrament is not only used for forgiving sins but we also receive other graces through it including healing of our spiritual wounds and clarity on what the root causes of our sins are.
And in terms of taking our sins directly to God or going to confession, I think Jason Evert says it best when he says, “Well, I think we should be doing that, it’s not either-or, it’s kind of both-and, we need to be doing it in private but then we also need tk hear the words the priest’s saying, ‘Through the ministry of the Church, may God grant you pardon and peace and I absolve you of your sins.’”
“So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.””
-Luke 18:29-30 NKJV
I walked away from it all to gain everything..
“God is not AmazonPrime. So often we tell God what we want, we make our payment of 2 Hail Marys and 1 Our Father, and then we expect immediate delivery. But God is not AmazonPrime.”

Suggestion: become a saint. Just, you know. Go out there and do it.
That’s not a suggestion, it’s a command.

You guys’ll eat devil dogs everyday 😯😣😫
But can’t find the time to get the Body of Our Lord on Sunday 😑🤨🙄
Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.
Psalm 43:5
(via

“The Word became Flesh and dwelt among us; God became Human in order to save us From the chains binding us to the Liar. That’s the true gift of the Christmas season; That God, His love being His reason, Would save Adam from Death’s darkest mire. Jesus took on human flesh and form That by our shared nature He would transform Our very selves into something higher. The Devil, enslaved to his grotesque pride, Cannot become, cannot truly reside, But only possess man as attire. But God, in His Incarnation, has bound Himself to His creation, His glory crowned On His children, the mark of His love entire. God, in giving Himself a human Face Has redeemed from sin the human race, So let us love Him with hearts on fire.”
