It is totally untenable to believe that the Bible alone is the source of God’s revelation of truth. We also need Apostolic Tradition and the Magisterium.
How I knew God was calling me to be a priest.
People frequently ask me how I knew God was calling me to be a priest. Well, here is my story!
Is your faith journey like a roller coaster ride? You’re in good company!
Don’t worry if you find dry periods in your prayer or if your devotion sometimes is weak. The saints went through the same thing.
Jesus is a God of Mercy, not retaliation!
The biggest mistake we could ever make would be to not allow Jesus to take away our sins for which He willingly died.
Would you die to save an ant?
Who would die to save a worthless creature? God!
Stop Jesus from dying? No way!!
Jesus’ death was not a bad thing that we should have tried to prevent; it was His will to die to save us and a tremendous act of love.
It’s okay to be afraid.
Even Jesus was afraid of His Passion, so don’t feel like you’ve sinned if you’re frightened of doing something difficult. Just turn to God for strength.
Jesus’ love for you is more powerful than your sins.
Sins is deadly, as it destroys our union with God, but Jesus loved us enough to pay the price for our sins and restore us to Him.
How NOT to read the Bible!
Here is a talk I gave at St. Denis Parish as part of our Lenten discussion series. I did not have anyone on hand to tend to the camera and move it with the action of the talk, so I apologize that every once in a while I end up walking out of the picture. I hope you appreciate this discussion.
A Sinner repents; are you overjoyed or annoyed?
When a sinner returns to the Lord, do we rejoice for his salvation or get annoyed that he’s “getting away with sinning and still being saved?”
