Due to the graces I recieve from God through Mary. Who is d surest and purest way to God.

Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord ---psalm 122:1

Today's responsorial psalm got me thinking...how wonderful the joy of a soul that has been cleared for heaven. Consider what it means to a deacon, after being delayed for some years, was told he will be ordained a priest finally, some priests have been known to shed tears of joy. Or could you imagine with what joy, a woman who has waited to get pregnant for some years, receive the news of her pregnancy, shedding tears of joy and praising God loudly there and then is a common feature. There is excitement when we achieve what we aim for.

If one is not a saddist, there is a kind of fulfilment that makes you sleep satisfied, when you become instrumental to another's happiness. You can ask Italo and the vincentians.... hahaha, you may not know, I went to sleep in such manner when I heard the news of Salc's surgery, damerry's exams, babestell's interview, Mariagorreti's new job and others, because I prayed for them all, in company of you.

Even much greater is the excitement when a soul is on his/her way to heaven, so even much satisfying it is to know you've given a helping hand. God's people of old knew this, for they said "it is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosened of their sin"---2Macc12:46. Did they not go to the extent of receiving baptism on behalf of the dead----1Cor 15:29 ? Holy charity! The church did guide this charity of theirs when St. John directed them on who to pray for---1Jn5:16, and when the church abandoned the practice of baptizing on behalf of the dead.

Is there a relative or aquaintance of yours who is gone, would you have loved to see him/her happy in heaven? There's a chance for you, pray, book/attend masses, offer fasts, difficulties, injuries borne graciously, etc, for the repose of their souls, this is the month of november, the church prays for the souls in purgatory. Join in this praiseworthy practice, a fulfilment of the communion of saints....This is our faith.


Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all.

I can tell you...that the feeling I get when I see a suffering person relieved, partly or totally due to my effort, is indescribable.

To see that gaze from one whose tears you just turned into smiles.

I just imagine how our brothers and sisters in purgatory gaze at us when our prayers help release them into the beatific vision.

What heartfelt prayers they must offer for us.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

babestell:


Its better to tell people what not to do, let them make up their mind themselves about the actions and decisions they make. That way they take ownership and will not blame you when things go wrong.

u do av a point

babestell:


this is a fact. A lot of Nigerians are scared of the unknown. Just putting harmless baby powder on their seat is enough to get them to rethink their behaviour. the only issue is if they now drive down to ijebu ode to get a counter potion

hmmmmmmmmm! Seems d powder theory has been working 4 u

Rich4god:
I have completed the rosary... So can I tender my application now...

yes

Rich4god:
You dnt need to be scared...

r u sure?

SalC:
Welcome back!

thank u

SalC:
My rosary has been dipped in water

how is dat?

Hmmmm...

The graces she brings forth are also accessible to non-catholics to include Muslims, Pagans and even Atheists. If this is so, why then is your being Catholic any special?

It's more than I can explain.

Jesus said to his disciples, ‘I tell you this: use money, tainted as it is, to win you friends, and thus make sure that when it fails you, they will welcome you into the tents of eternity. --Lk16:9

From today's gospel. Hmm...the friends Titoetal wins with money, will welcome him into the tent of eternity. Come o, if these friends are the people we aid here, what guarantee is there that they themselves will make heaven? Ehm...well, do good anyway, you never know....However, helping the souls in purgatory is like "sure banker", woky you understand na. They must eventually end up there, so lightening their burden and quickening their release surely gets you friends; who will welcome you into tents of eternity.

This november, dedicated to the holy souls; With your money, book masses for them. With your money, do charity and offer the merits for the holy souls. With your money, support groups dedicated to praying for the holy souls. You will surely have friends to welcome you into the tents of eternity.

Eternal rest grant them o Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace, amen.

Good day brethren, a splendid day ahead to all.

God and his graces are accessible to all...

But not all have made themselves accessible to God and his graces.

Same goes for graces through Mary.

God says to all, "take."

Not all take.

The above is applicable to both Catholics and the others. Still not unique to Catholics.

And your point is? People should no longer express excitement over their faith because someone somewhere might also have access to the same grace that they have?

I Dnt Think Dats The Point He Is Trying To Make! Buf Let Me Alow Him Xplain Himself.

The Reason I Ask That Quesion Is That Some "Catholic" Dnt Knw Why Dey Are Catholics,they Are Catholic Only because They Were Born Into A Catholic Family(i Knw Many Like That).So They Rily Dont Knw Why(they Are Catholics)! So If U Dnt Ve A Gud Reason 4 What U Are U Cant Love And Cherish It With Ur Heart.

I Only Wanted To Knw His Main Reason

Plz To All

Why are u a Catholic Christain? I Rily Want To Knw!this might sound funny bt am seriouz oh!


as for me am a catholic christain becos i blive the catholic church hold the fullnes of al God's reviled truth although their are some element of truth in other religion

Am Catholic because I was born Catholic

Can't sleep

I am Catholic because I can't have it any other way than the Catholic way.

striktlymi:


The above is applicable to both Catholics and the others. Still not unique to Catholics.

Let me use an example to explain:

Jesus-God offers his body, blood, soul and divinity to be consumed and communed with by everyone...

Only Catholics (and Orthodox Christians) accept this.

God offers the fullness of truth, the fullness of the means of salvation, to everyone, through his Church.

Only Catholics embrace these.

Do I need to say more?

@Vest,I'm catholic because the CC has the fullness of christian truth.It claims it is the church established by Christ and I believe this by looking through its history and seeing how authoritative it has been. Even today the CC continues to act with this authority in defining and maintaining Christian faith..
If it was just about a book then I wonder how people have been able to decide which book to follow out of the plethora of religions.

I am a Catholic because there is the TRUTH of Christianity.

You need not!

That is a very good reason to be a proud Catholic. Surely, Jesus in the Eaucharist is accesable to ONLY Catholics who are in union with the Church.

Catholics make the best atheists because...............


because........................................


...........................because they are less likely to go to another church once they lose faith in the catholic church!!!



Unlike protestants who can jump from deeper life to winners to redeemed church...........
