"...An unspiritual person is one who does not accept anything of the Spirit of God: he sees it all as nonsense; it is beyond his understanding because it can only be understood by means of the Spirit..." 1Cor2:10-16 Hmmm...The confessional...How long has it been since we last visited it. Do we really appreciate what goes on there? It's of the spirit isn't it, as a matter of fact, the giving of that authority was preceded by the gift of the Spirit...He breathed on them and said, "receive the Holy Spirit. Whosoever sin you forgive is forgiven..." John20:22-23 . Aha, so this sacrament has the spirit written all over it, what then do we make of it, how do we approach it, do we take it for granted or do we make use of it effectively? We are always quick to seek relief for loads borne on our physical beings, but we constantly ignore the weight crushing our souls. We bear it, Oh, we bear it so hardheartedly, seeking distractions from the groans of the soul under the weight of sin, we often seek distractions in noise, company, media etc. Anything at all but the voice of the soul. Yet there at the corner of the church, by the window of the chapel, beside the gate of the parochial house, in Chukwudi44's sitting room, even inside babestell's car... indeed anywhere you find a priest of the Catholic Church, there lies your relief. Today we read in the Gospel about Jesus exorcism of a man in John 4:31-37. Isn't that what happens at the confessional? Those who were a while ago bound by the devil, marked by guilt and stain, his possessions, are forcefully snatched away from his clutches. They are given a new lease of life, washed clean, refreshed and healed by grace, and thrown back into the battle field. Oh, how merciful our God is, that we don't only get one chance in life, what better way to show his own practice of "seventy times seven". I once heard the story of a lady, who had lived so wicked a life, then she was illuminated by grace and sought out a priest for confession. As she went on with her confessions, the priest was so alarmed by the evils in her past, then he got agitated, then he was so infuriated; that he retorted, "what kind of human are you!...to think you came here hoping for forgiveness...". As he spoke, a noise started at the alter, and the vibrating Crucifix at the top of the alter wall caught their attention. Lo, as if from the crucifix came a voice, and it said..." I died for her as well". Oh the loving kindness of the heart of our God, who has visited his people like the dew from on high... LK 1:78. He loves me; I cannot say why... On Calvary's tree, he suffered for me, He loves me; I cannot say why. Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Kamsified: But I am asking you, not a Relativist. Would you consider the Yoruba traditional marriage rites superior to that of your people? |
Re: A Thread For Catholics by Nobody: 5:59pm On Sep 02, 2014 |
Kamsified: No doubt! There is a very huge issue with the extreme case of Relativism but I don't think that is a good basis to throw away the whole concept entirely. |

"...On the contrary, we will have none of the reticence of those who are ashamed, no deceitfulness or watering down the word of God; but the way we commend ourselves to every human being with a conscience is by stating the truth openly in the sight of God..." 2Cor4:2 The Chameleon...it blends with it's environment...So are most of us these days, we blend with the world and no longer stand out. Isn't it funny how we just hide our light under the bed, just to "belong"? How many of us still associate ourselves with the blessed Crucifix, scapular, chaplet, Holy Pictures, etc, even the Sign of the cross. Hahahaha...we are more inclined now towards olive oil, for it makes us blend with others. The use of olive oil blessed by a priest is good, but that's not what we are talking about. What sources of grace we abandon just to blend with the world, yet when temptation calls, how easily do we fall. The ancient serpent...cunning from time immemorial, deceiving God's children from time. Have we not stripped our walls of the holy pictures, while nudity continues to stay on them? Even in some churches, it's beginning to offend aesthetics to put up holy Images and Pictures. Limit it, limit it they cry...only if they knew.... We only live a lie; when we think these pornographic visuals do not corrupt the heart and mind...at least keep it from soaring high. In same way we live a lie; when we think the presence of holy pictures do not edify the heart and mind. Children are very receptive to pictures, adorn your homes with holy pictures and Images as a means of guiding them right "... when he grows old, he will not depart from it" Prov 22:6. From ages past to our present times, God has shown his willingness to assure of his presence via objects. From the wooden ark of the covenant to the bronze serpent, from the hem of His garment to the broken bread, from shadows of His apostles to the holy water of His priests, from the handkerchiefs that touched his servants to the relics of His saints, He has continued to assure of His presence. A man was very fond of telling his friend, that giving any form of reverence to the image of the blessed virgin Mary or any of the saints, even the crucifix, was Idolatry and wrong. He said he'll destroy anyone he lays hands on. One day, he was visited by this his friend, who upon seeing in this man's album; a picture of his mother, brought it out. "Is this your mum", he said. "Yes", replied the man. "Is your mum still alive"? "No, she died when I was in school", he replied. His friend took a look at the picture, then coughed and spat on it. His friend's visit for that day, was terminated abruptly is all I can say, which of course was natural. Lets pay no heed to the "reticence of those who are ashamed", that scapular on Stryktlimi's neck, that crucifix in kamsified's car, that alter in debbie's sitting room, that holy picture in Rich4God's bunk, and that holy water used by prettyspicey, must remain. For just like St. Gregory the great, who we remember today, let our lights shine in the midst of this darkness. Mr. Aladin, I pray with you. Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Syncan: "...On the contrary, we will have none of the reticence of those who are ashamed, no deceitfulness or watering down the word of God; but the way we commend ourselves to every human being with a conscience is by stating the truth openly in the sight of God..." 2Cor4:2 I can only speak for myself you know. I believe it starts with having too many Pentecostal friends that don't understand some of these things. Small small, you begin to do the so-called 'loosening up' for acceptance or for whatever reasons or without even realizing you're drifting Since joining this thread for instance, Ive come to appreciate my faith more than ever before. Whoever said the company we keep don't matter? It's interesting how you take note of these little things. Thanks for sharing bro. A nice day to you as well |
