Supernatural Revelation and Humanity: Christ’s Deeds and Words Bring Definitive Meaning To Human Life

May 7, 2017 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Icon of Jesus Christ

“In reality it is only in the mystery of the Word made flesh that the mystery of man truly becomes clear” (Gaudium et Spes 22 § 1). Jesus is the way and the truth and the life, who himself illuminates our lives.

The Church: Visible and Invisible

May 2, 2017 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

St. Andrew's Church

In his book, The Splendor of the Church, Henri de Lubac wrote of a dangerous dissociation often made about the Church. This error is rooted in the Protestant revolution which occurred in the early 16th century, and has, unfortunately, continued to the present among non-Catholic Christians.

Video: From Atheism to Deism to Christ and Catholic

March 9, 2017 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Screen Shot

I’ve published this video of Jeff Casey’s story because it’s important for all of us. It’s the story of so many people today who are searching, who have lost their way, and have perhaps suffered the disastrous effects of the shallow lies of the New Atheism and the darkness it brings.

G.K. Chesterton, the Christian ideal and signs from God

In today’s gospel, Christ reminds us of how disappointed he is with these kinds of attitudes, as well as the effect they have on our relationship with him.

President Elect Donald Trump

November 9, 2016 by Deacon Frederick Bartels 1 Comment

Election of Donald Trump and Catholic voters

Let us pray for our nation and for our new commander in chief, President Donald Trump, that during his period of leadership he will work to restore some of what has been lost in America due to the blatant and direct hostility shown by the previous administration, associated politicians, and the Clinton network toward human life, unborn children in the womb, the right to religious freedom, and the Catholic Church herself.

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)
