February 1, 2019 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

August 28, 2018 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

St. Augustine

St. Augustine’s life provides us with an example of the sublime fruits of grace which Christ bestows upon those who fall in love with the Divine Teacher of Truth. In doing so, Augustine was drawn to the Catholic Church, the holy dwelling place in which the fullness of truth subsists through the ages.

Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart

The sexual abuse scandal will tempt many to jettison their practice of faith in the Church. St. Basil the Great reminds us that Christians, strengthened by the grace of Christ, are not ones to give in to temptation: “As the pilot of a vessel is tried in the storm, as the wrestler is tried in the ring, the soldier in the battle, and the hero in adversity, so is the Christian tried in temptation.”

St. (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta

“Abortion is the greatest destroyer of peace today.”

Are you really Christian?

St. John: Now by this we may be sure that we know him, if we obey his commandments. Whoever says, “I have come to know him,” but does not obey his commandments, is a liar, and in such a person the truth does not exist; but whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him: whoever says, “I abide in him,” ought to walk just as he walked. (1 Jn 2:3-6).

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)
