Through Mary Salvation is Brought to the World

December 31, 2019 by Deacon Frederick Bartels 1 Comment

Mother of God

All history, past, present and future, culminates in Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became man and assumed human nature in order to restore humanity, that we might gain what was lost. This sublime and priceless gift of God became a reality through Mary’s total “yes” to the salvific will of the Father.

Building a Firm Faith Foundation of Rock Is Key to Surviving Spiritual Challenges

December 30, 2019 by Patrick Laorden Leave a Comment

faith foundation

A faith foundation built on a Christocentric life is a foundation built on rock. The daily challenges of life—the rain, the flood, and the wind—continue to weather our foundations, and if we are not attentive to it, the spiritual in particular, the foundation can crumble.

December 29, 2019 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Nativity, Birth of Christ, Incarnation, birth of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

December 21, 2019 by Barbara Case Speers Leave a Comment

Nativity, Birth of Christ, Christmas, Joy In Truth

The Christmas season is always bursting with jovial gatherings with good food, great conversations, a toast of fine wine, mistletoe, music, dancing, and lots of laughter – rejuvenating the human spirit at least until the party is over.

What is The Dogma of The Immaculate Conception?

December 18, 2019 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Mary holds the infant Jesus

If we don’t understand what the Immaculate Conception means, we can’t really understand how God prepared the way for his Son to enter history. We can’t understand Mary’s role in it. We can’t even understand our destiny—not fully, anyway.

Quote of The Day

“We have a Catholic will when we love God and obey God, love the Church and obey the Church. We have a Catholic intellect when we live consciously in the presence of the realities that God through His Church has revealed”—Frank Sheed

St. (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta

“Abortion is the greatest destroyer of peace today.”

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)
