Self-Realization

Sat, 06 Apr 2013 20:34:22 -0400

So, I try to frequent the sacraments. I try to go every week, sometimes more if I NEED to go. After each time, I think to myself: “How can I sin less?” but then I realized - with the help of my confessor - that I should think: “How can I be more holy?” Before the goal was to have to confess less, but I’d imagine, the holier I hopefully become, the more I would realize how much I sin. “Verso l’alto” (Towards the top) - Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati

Go to Confession and experience Our Lord’s Love and Mercy.

Has it been a long time? Go.

Have you committed dumb or embarrassing sins? Go.

Do not be afraid! Jesus is waiting for you and wants to heal and forgive you!

I just went! Max, thank you for the positive butt-kicking lol.

AMS Calls on U.S. Defense Department to Review Army Reserve Training Material for Anti-Religious Content

“The Archdiocese for the Military Services and Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty recently became aware of a U.S. Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief that expressly listed “Catholicism,” “Evangelical Christianity” and other religious groups as examples of “religious extremism” alongside groups such as “Al Qaeda”, “Hamas” and the “KKK.” The Archdiocese is astounded that Catholics were listed alongside groups that are, by their very mission and nature, violent and extremist.”

Pictured are slides from the actual DOD presentation.

Are US soldiers not allowed to go to Mass, then?

The last great man of Europe takes the stage for the final time, and reminds us that greatness is measured not by political machinations, military or economic might, or even important discoveries, but in staying grounded in the vast messiness of this frustrating and glorious human family with compassion, humility, and gentleness. […]

Non-Catholics can’t possibly understand the connection truly faithful Catholics have to their pope. He’s not magic, he’s not a god, and oddly enough he doesn’t even need to be holy or even particularly inspirational. (Fortunately, this last part is rare in the history of Christ’s Church.) What he is, is this: a promise. He is a promise, made by the Incarnate Lord, of a visible leadership that will last for all time, beginning with the flawed, hot-headed, cowardly fisherman who sat at His right hand, and stretching down through the millennia to us today. “Tu es Petrus et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam.”

And I will miss him more than words can express.

This is where the Pope will live - in simple austerity and humility, in a cloister inside Vatican City. Thank you Holy Father for your continued union with the Church.

For all the psycho obsessive trolls convinced that worldly wealth actually matters to this man
