We Catholics Must Study Our Faith

We Catholics Must Study Our Faith for the simple reason that we can't
share something we don't know.

Catechism of the Catholic Church # 158

"Faith seeks understanding":it is intrinsic to faith that a believer desires to know better the One in whom he has put his faith, and to understand better what He has revealed; a more penetrating knowledge will in turn call forth a greater faith, increasingly set afire by love. The grace of faith opens "the eyes of your hearts"to a lively understanding of the contents of Revelation: that is, of the totality of God's plan and the mysteries of faith, of their connection with each other and with Christ, the center of the revealed mystery. "The same Holy Spirit constantly perfects faith by his gifts, so that Revelation may be more and more profoundly understood." In the words of St. Augustine, "I believe, in order to understand; and I understand, the better to believe."

The Final Analysis by Mother Theresa

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered
... forgive them anyway!


If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives
... be kind anyway!


If you are successful, you will win some false friends and make some true enemies
... succeed anyway!


If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you
... be honest and frank anyway!


What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight
... go ahead and build anyway!


If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous
... be happy anyway!


The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow
... do good anyway!


Give the world the best you have, and even that may never be enough
... give it anyway!


You see in the final analysis, its all between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway!

Saint Michael

Saint Michael
Defend Us in Battle

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in praelio. Contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur. Tuque princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo divina virtute in infernum detrude. Amen.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
