The New Evangelization and Its Connection to Voting In November: Strive To Heal, Elevate and Perfect Culture

January 24, 2020 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

St. Peter's Square, Catholic Church, One true faith

Authentic participation in the New Evangelization requires the proper exercise of the right and duty to vote. When I stand before Jesus Christ, will I be able to justify my voting choices, or will whatever I say merely be an unsuccessful attempt to rationalize them? The answer to that question makes all the difference.

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.

The Holy Family and Today’s Herods

December 29, 2019 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

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

The Holy Family stands over and against today’s Herods who seek to devalue marriage, upend and destroy the family and its authentic meaning.

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.

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)
