A lil' Maurin reminder for Holiday Spenders

Let them come

If infant baptism means nothing,
as some Protestants believe,
than the child merely gets a little wet.

If it instead is as important
as nearly ALL Christians believed for 1500 years
(and most still do),
than it is beyond negligent
for any Christian parent
to not let their child 

partake of this sacrament.

"Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them;
for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 19:14).

Our Lady of Guadalupe for atheists

.
Tom Quiner has a wonderful post on Our Lady, and more to the point, the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, over at his Quiner's Diner. I highly reccomend y'all take a virtual stroll over and check it out.

"Science raises more questions than it answers.
How come the fabric survives?
Don’t know.
How in the world was the thing painted?
Don’t know.
How could an artist have painted microscopic reflections in the irises of Mary’s eyes?
He couldn’t, it is impossible.
How could a dumb peasant have done any of this along with accurately depicting the constellations?
Maybe he didn’t.
Maybe it is just another mystery of our faith."

The Art of God

Given to be Given

Pondering Mother Teresa's long "dark night of the soul",
and the lack of joy she told her confessor of,
I realized that Mother was so busy
giving away all the joy God gave her,
that she never thought
to save any
for herself
that is a Saint!

Stand

.
“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
We would have never gotten away with what we did
if you (the Church) had been united, purposeful and strong".
Dr. Bernard Nathanson - Ex-Abortionist / Pro-life Catholic

A Lil' Perspective

 .

"Material concerns and one sided values are never sufficient to fill the hearts and minds of a human person. A life reduced to the sole dimension of possessions, of consumer goods, of temporal concerns will never let you discover and enjoy the full richness of your humanity.

It is only in Jesus that you will fully understand who you are".

John Paul the Great

Who is the Teacher?

.

When someone goes against 

the official teaching 

of the 

Catholic Church, 

they are actually 

going against 

Christ

"for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, 

but my Father which is in heaven."

It didn't just fall out of the sky

Less was soo much More

 .

When I was born,
 .

Married couples
 

didn't always have two cars

or an oversize house 
.

 they didn't have a TV in every room

nor did they have iPads, iPhones, or iPods

they didn't dine out several times a week

or have gym memberships

they didn't have guys' nights

or girls' weekends

but,

unlike today,
 

they did have
  

Children!

lots and lots
of Children!

Redefining Marriage . . .Again

Our state voted for so-called "gay marriage",
and a part of me thought it was a bit odd
that my Protestant brethren were complaining
about the state going against Christ and redifining marriage,
considering they kind of got the ball rolling with
"Divorce"

Seeing the Positive in a World Gone Mad

On a positive note,
last night's election results have made me,
for the first time,
almost glad
