Faith Alone?

November 4, 2017 by Deacon Frederick Bartels 4 Comments

faith alone is without scriptural support

Where does grace come from? Is it a free gift? Or do Catholics believe, as the accusation often goes, that we merit or earn grace through good works?

November 4, 2017 by Rashele Birmingham Leave a Comment

mother and child

My eyes sting from lack of sleep, my arms are heavy, my nose congested from a recent bout of the common cold … it’s 3:00 am and I hear our youngest begin to cry again.

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
