St. Luke the Evangelist

What is the Holy Spirit moving you to do today? God always asks you to step forward, stretch your boundaries, live in a new way and labor to bring others into the kingdom of Christ, as did St. Luke.

Picture this: you’re at your local grocery store shopping for dinner and someone asks you point blank: “What is Christianity?”

Pope Benedict: To Make Christ Known Is A Most Precious Gift

November 28, 2012 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Pope Benedict XVI

Because of what we have received through the gift of faith, we are compelled to offer our life, our very self, as a gift to Christ and thus become instruments of his glory, which is accomplished by our complete cooperation in docility with the impulses of the Spirit, whom the Savior gives to those who love him.

The Consequences of Silence in The Public Square

August 26, 2011 by Deacon Frederick Bartels 1 Comment

Crowd of people

A quote often attributed to St. Francis of Assisi is, “Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary use words.” This quote is often used to emphasize the importance and value of living the Gospel life by example. Obviously, we cannot evangelize for Christ if our own lives fail to bear the marks of ardent discipleship.

Christ collage

It is so unfortunate that so many fail to look for and embrace the beauty of the Catholic Church Christ so wisely and lovingly established in the midst of the world. Many trudge through each day, their heart aching for happiness, their intellect craving that Truth for which there are no words to describe.

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)
