Glory To Jesus, Honour To Mary! All The Real Catholics Please Stand Up!
Lets talk about our various parishes and the societies we belong to in church and how we think others see Catholics. Do they think we are a kind of sect?

Just wondering?

What is the definition of a TRUE CATHOLIC?


Just wondering?

A TRUE CATHOLIC to me is someone who is worshipping God in truth and in Spirit! A person that is not a religious fanatic or a lunatic but filled with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and manifests the fruit of the Holy Spirit both in words and actions! A true Catholic is not known by scapulars or rosaries or intellectual apologetic defences but by life style evangelism, a living gospel other people will read and believe!

Fools & fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but d wiser doubts

Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism, whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, looks like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards.

hey peeps

Seun and AKO,

im trying hard to understand the motive behind closing the original thread
it sounds confusing when you say never ending threads are not to be encouraged, neither should there be discouraged? ? ?
what exactly are we supposed to make of that?
we use to have a thread that was OURS
a thread that brings each on eof us online
had you said that closing it is as a result of the difficulty it posses in managing the site, i would understand . . . .
but then i have been here a while and i know of threads in the sports page that exceded the number of pages we had here . . .

i really want to : what is your real reason?
from saying that the thread is sticky, to our being unable to post anytin to eventual complete closure
did it occour to you that we likeed the old title and may not appreciate you giving us one?

i love to come here, to pray, joke and meet minds with friends here
please do not make it uninteresting for us.
you cld have sought our opinion on the title at least.

please folks, this is a thread for catholics
if you do not have anything constructive to sya, then please stay out!
we have built friendship through this medium
this space is special for us, please create a new thread and joke about catholics ( u guys do it all the time)

Carl, Lin, Oby, Law, Ebos, Lady , Pam et al
been fun hangig out here with you all, please lets keep the spirit going.
may devotion to Our Lady is drawing to a close
i wld love to knw how it went with us all
Lin, abeg when u dey come back ith Papal blessing?

AVE, MARIA, GRATIA PLENA; DOMINUS TECUM,
BENEDICTA TU IN MULIERIBUS, ET BENEDICTUS
FRUCYUS VENTRIS TUI, JESUS, QUI IN NOBIS
ADAUGEAT FIDEM, SANCTA MARIA, MATER DEI,

Reading 1
Eph 6:1-9

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Honor your father and mother.
This is the first commandment with a promise,
that it may go well with you
and that you may have a long life on earth.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger,
but bring them up with the training and instruction of the Lord.

Slaves, be obedient to your human masters with fear and trembling,
in sincerity of heart, as to Christ,
not only when being watched, as currying favor,
but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
willingly serving the Lord and not men,
knowing that each will be requited from the Lord
for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.
Masters, act in the same way towards them, and stop bullying,
knowing that both they and you have a Master in heaven
and that with him there is no partiality.

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 145:10-11, 12-13ab, 13cd-14

R. (13c) The Lord is faithful in all his words.
Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD,
and let your faithful ones bless you.
Let them discourse of the glory of your Kingdom
and speak of your might.
R. The Lord is faithful in all his words.
Making known to men your might
and the glorious splendor of your Kingdom.
Your Kingdom is a Kingdom for all ages,
and your dominion endures through all generations.
R. The Lord is faithful in all his words.
The LORD is faithful in all his words
and holy in all his works.
The LORD lifts up all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.
R. The Lord is faithful in all his words.

Gospel
Lk 13:22-30

Jesus passed through towns and villages,
teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem.
Someone asked him,
“Lord, will only a few people be saved?”
He answered them,
“Strive to enter through the narrow gate,
for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter
but will not be strong enough.
After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door,
then will you stand outside knocking and saying,
‘Lord, open the door for us.’
He will say to you in reply,
‘I do not know where you are from.’
And you will say,
‘We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.’
Then he will say to you,
‘I do not know where you are from.
Depart from me, all you evildoers!’
And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth
when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God
and you yourselves cast out.
And people will come from the east and the west
and from the north and the south
and will recline at table in the Kingdom of God.
For behold, some are last who will be first,
and some are first who will be last.”

hey everybody come and see american wonder

oga seun has done great wonder.

seun thanks a million, i see your handiwork o.

A_K_O, thanks too. i think you are among the greatest moderators (if not the greatest )

my peeps, come onboard and let the Glory rain for Jesus and Mary .

I just did my consecration to Jesus and Mary. The class was enriching. The confraternity of Mary Queen of All Hearts is really good for every catholic to belong to, If you go through the class with full devotion to the Holy slavery.

how is a member here?

seun (A_K_O?), i really see your handiwork now and honestly i don't mind missing posts 

thanks again for indulging us

Thursday of the Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1
Eph 6:10-20

Brothers and sisters:
Draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.
Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm
against the tactics of the Devil.
For our struggle is not with flesh and blood
but with the principalities, with the powers,
with the world rulers of this present darkness,
with the evil spirits in the heavens.
Therefore, put on the armor of God,
that you may be able to resist on the evil day
and, having done everything, to hold your ground.
So stand fast with your loins girded in truth,
clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
and your feet shod in readiness for the Gospel of peace.
In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield,
to quench all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.
And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God.

With all prayer and supplication,
pray at every opportunity in the Spirit.
To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication
for all the holy ones and also for me,
that speech may be given me to open my mouth,
to make known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel
for which I am an ambassador in chains,
so that I may have the courage to speak as I must.

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 144:1b, 2, 9-10

R. (1b) Blessed be the Lord, my Rock!
Blessed be the LORD, my rock,
who trains my hands for battle, my fingers for war.
R. Blessed be the Lord, my Rock!
My mercy and my fortress,
my stronghold, my deliverer,
My shield, in whom I trust,
who subdues my people under me.
R. Blessed be the Lord, my Rock!
O God, I will sing a new song to you;
with a tenstringed lyre I will chant your praise,
You who give victory to kings,
and deliver David, your servant from the evil sword.
R. Blessed be the Lord, my Rock!

Gospel
Lk 13:31-35

Some Pharisees came to Jesus and said,
“Go away, leave this area because Herod wants to kill you.”
He replied, “Go and tell that fox,
‘Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow,
and on the third day I accomplish my purpose.
Yet I must continue on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day,
for it is impossible that a prophet should die
outside of Jerusalem.’

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,
how many times I yearned to gather your children together
as a hen gathers her brood under her wings,
but you were unwilling!
Behold, your house will be abandoned.
But I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say,
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”
