November 9, 2018 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Lateran Basilica Christ as Founder of the Catholic Church

In our second reading for today, St. Paul speaks about how the Church is founded by Christ himself.

The Christian Life and Keeping The Door Firmly Closed on Evil Spirits

October 10, 2018 by Deacon Frederick Bartels 1 Comment

The Devil's Tactics

There are many paths or portals through which evil spirits are enabled to gain personal access to our lives in extraordinary ways. These doorways provide evil spirits with a kind of “permission” or “right” to oppress, obsess and even possess people. Christians would do well to carefully avoid them.

Dealing with the devil and fallen angels

Immediately following the blessing, a woman across the church began, it seemed, to sob. Her cry, however, quickly turned into disturbingly loud shouts, shrieks, and pain-filled screams.

Kerygma 101: The Proclamation of the Gospel

October 4, 2018 by Brandon Harvey Leave a Comment

St. Philip Baptizing the Ethiopian

What does it mean to evangelize and how does the preaching of the gospel or “kerygma” of the Church fit in? Pope St. John Paul II noted that any kerygma focused program would be incomplete if it omitted an invitation to ongoing catechesis and full communion with the Church for non-Catholics, and, on the other hand, a return to full communion with the Church for Catholics who have drifted away.

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)
