thanku for this medium with which I want to ask an important question. the religious problems Nigeria is having today is due to one religion not respecting the other.so far,the Muslims are trying by respecting the Christians and a part of the christians are respecting the Muslims but I do not see the other part of the christians(catholics),showing respect to muslims.my question now.why are national Muslim holidays not honoured by the catholic secondary,primary and nursery schools,especially those on brooks street,uyo,akwa ibom state?I feel this lack of respect and honour is not good for Nigeria.it does not change u as a catholic,christian,Muslim if u show respect for the other religion.
At delta state where I live whenever they celebrate salah Catholic schools do not open, infact no school open whether private or public . So u see the problem is only from ur region its wrong of u to attribute it to all Catholics.

if that is the case,then the management of the catholic schools at brooks street uyo,Akwa Ibom State need to be questioned about this act of not honouring religious holidays even when declared by the Government.I think it might not be the catholic church ideas but the idea of one or two religion racist in the management.

Not sure how many people here know much about the legion of Mary to educate me on her ban on material relief and collecting money. A situation where the CPC or PPC is asking the legion to donate money towards supporting the burial of a late church member. Would it be right for the legion to go solicit for such funds? How much strictness is to attached to this ban? Even when the recipient life is at stake are legionnaires still to refuse giving out such relief?

[ Song of Praise for God’s Favor ] O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will praise and give thanks to Your name; For You have done miraculous things, Plans formed long, long ago, [fulfilled] with perfect faithfulness. (ISAIAH 25:1 AMP)
Re: A Thread For Catholics by ochibuogwu5: 5:58pm On Mar 06, 2020
Are you a Roman Catholic doubting whether you are a real Christian?

I am also a Roman Catholic and I listen to any person who teaches about Jesus Christ Crucified as the *only Lord and God* of all human beings as well as the whole creation via social media especially YouTube and even read books authored by *non; Catholic Christians* however I have never left Catholic Church to attend any physical gathering of believers that is not Catholic for the past 22-years.

For you to sense that God hears your prayers in the Catholic church but it's manifestations seems to be *unrealistic*, I want to assure you that God is *real* in the Romans Catholic Church and your heart longs for HIM. As a small boy, I lived a life of sexual-immoralities especially pornography and fornication from the age of 7-11 years(1997) that was when I wanted to receive the Holy Eucharist and I told Jesus based upon the name we call HIM during *our block rosary prayers and Holy Mass*; "the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world" while we were playing football within that *Holy Communion preparatory class* thus "Jesus, you are the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the whole world, please take away this sin of fornication and pornography in my life"....
I did not even know that *prayer is in the bible*
From that day (March 1997) till date I have never kissed, caressed, romanced or had any sexual intimacy with any being (man, woman or spirit) till date. I know He(Jesus Christ Crucified; the Eucharistic Jesus) who started it will continue it till eternity (2 Timothy 1:12). This is the *quality of a true Christian*;.... "His name shall be called Jesus because He will deliver His brothers and sisters from their sin" (Matthew 1:21)

As a Roman Catholic doubting whether your faith in Jesus Christ is real or can it guarantee genuine salvation;
You need to re-examine what/who you think God is *truly*
You need to re-examine what you think Christianity is all about *truly*
What is *salvation in Christ Jesus* truly ?
What is prayer, answered prayers and manifestations of answered prayers ?
What is the place of trials, persecutions, temptations, miracles, favours, Grace e.t.c in the life of a Christian ?
What is the position of God's word in your life?

All these requires conscious personal deliberate study of God's word written in the whole holy bible especially the new-testament to receive complete revelation of *Jesus Christ Crucified* as well as fellowship with the Holy Spirit in prayers, praises and dialogue. "If you search for me with *your whole heart*, you will find me" (Jeremiah 29:13), "I reveal myself to those who love me and keep my commandments" (John 14:21)

Seek mercy to *receive grace*:
Come with boldness to the throne of God's grace; the Cross of Jesus Christ(inside your heart/mind now not just physical cross/crucifix; Hebrews 4:16) were He destroyed *our old-man/flesh* and replaced it with His own flesh so that we can serve God acceptably on this earth with full hope and glory of eternal life/Heaven, clarity of His purpose for us on this earth despite the trials, temptations, persecutions, miracles, Grace, favours e.t.c and His enduring assistance through His indwelling Holy Spirit who both wills and does His good pleasures through our mortal-bodies till our biological death or the archangel's trumpet (Phil.2:13, John 12:31-33, John 19:30)

It is with *grace from the Cross of Jesus Christ* that believers enter into *authentic faith-walk with God*; die with Jesus *100% on the Cross inside His Crucified flesh* in order to receive His new flesh inside our mortal-bodies whereby we can now understand *his will* and collaborate with His manifestations in our individual lives. Pray for grace *to use grace in serving God acceptably in this world no matter the persecutions or miracles surrounding you currently(Hebrews 12:28)* because every human being has received grace which enables us to receive salvation through the gospel, the same grace teaches us how to resist sin and worldly passions, the same grace teaches us how to live self-controlled, righteous and holy lives in this sinful world consistently till eternity (Titus 2:11-14).

Faith and prayer *does not make God to change His will for our lives* rather it helps us to discover them and *willingly submit to it* thus Our Mother Mary when she was told that she will get pregnant without sexual intimacy with any man(something which has never happened in the whole history of human existence), she questioned and accepted the explanation of the angel thus "I am the handmaid of the Lord, *be it done to me according to your word*" (Luke 1:38) and "the word took flesh in her womb..." (John 1:14)

When a person has died with Jesus on the Cross, the new life of Jesus Christ Crucified now living inside you prays (Romans 8:26, Phil.2:13, John 3:6) which is according to His will("when we pray according to His will, he answers us" 1 John 5:14) not just according to how we feel, think or imagine even the whims of our emotions. He answers them and brings them to manifestations at *His own time and method* (Gal.4:4) and you need to know that He loves you more than you love yourself, and He is working out something every tick of time for His own glory in your life and you will never *regret anything He is doing in your life* ("I am doing something in your life right now, when it manifests, it will surprise you" Habakkuk 1:5)

Just make sure that the decision you made to belong to Jesus Christ Crucified on the Cross of Calvary is *100% and forever* then collaborate with His Grace as you experience and express *His God-head reality* in your whole life and all that concerns you from now. (Luke 9:23, Luke 14:25-33, John 19:30)

In the Catholic Church, I am a member of Teaching ministry of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. You can join CCRN in your parish and they will help you to build a solid faith in Christ Jesus Crucified and I am also a member of the Legion of Mary; you can also join your parish legionaries, they will also help you to grow your faith in Christ Jesus Crucified in relationship with the Spirit of Our Mother the Blessed Virgin Mary!!!

Great Grace Brethren!!!

Excerpt:
*Love Not the World* by *Watchman Nee*

Topic: Crucified Unto Me (chapter 4)

The author leads us into *separation* from the principles of worldly/sinful lifestyle as the bases/foundation of a genuine Christian.
We do not get separated from the world by *not using created things* like money, clothes, cars, accessories, business, education, professions, talents, sports e.t.c rather having an understanding that *the world system is under the sentence of death* (John 12:30-34).

The world has been sentenced for destruction by God hence we should not be *investing into a business that we know its end is collapse*

The difference between a separated human being unto Christ is the *revelation of the ministry/service/purpose of the Cross* in our individual lives not just *mere understanding*. Understanding and head knowledge of the Cross as well as the holy bible or Christian religion does not bring *separation unto Christ Jesus Crucified* rather the revelation that comes from Heaven. It is through this revelation that any human being born inside this world *originates from heaven*. It is only those who *originate from heaven that will hold fast to the grace of the Cross till the end and be able to return back to their origin at the end of this earthly journey*.

The author declares "A revelation of the Cross of Christ involves for us the discovery of this fact, that through it everything belonging to the world is under sentence of death. We still go on living in the world and using the things of the world, but we can build no future with them, for the Cross has shattered all our hope in them. The Cross of our Lord Jesus, we may truly say, has ruined our prospects in the world; we have nothing to live for there."
This is the *only type of revelation* that can *completely save us from worldly lifestyle*.

Going further the author stated thus "But we inevitably lose all interest in the world, and it loses its grip on us, as soon as it dawns upon us *that the world is doomed*. To see that *is to be automatically severed/separated from Satan's entire economy.*"
At the end of his letter to the Galatians Paul states this very clearly. "Far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world" (6:14).

In conclusion; Let me ask you: What is your occupation? A merchant? A doctor? A student? Do not run away from these callings. Simply write down: Trade is under the sentence of death. Write: Medicine is under the sentence of death. Education is under the sentence of death. If you do that in truth, life will be changed for you hereafter. In the midst of a world under judgment for its hostility towards God you will know what it is to live as one who truly loves and fears HIM.

Great Grace Brethren!!!

In the Name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. +. Amen.

Brethen, what's your take on Fr Mbaka, on ash Wednesday the church condemned the government of their don't care attitudes toward the killings of Christians only for Mbaka to come up to absorb Buhari. The guy is so so annoying and too damn proud and makes me doubt if he is truly a man of God, I doubt if he's to celebrate mass I would attend.

Micah 7:14-15,18-20
Have pity on us one more time
With shepherd’s crook, O Lord, lead your people to pasture,
the flock that is your heritage,
living confined in a forest
with meadow land all around.
Let them pasture in Bashan and Gilead
as in the days of old.
As in the days when you came out of Egypt
grant us to see wonders.
What god can compare with you: taking fault away,
pardoning crime,
not cherishing anger for ever
but delighting in showing mercy?
Once more have pity on us,
tread down our faults,
to the bottom of the sea
throw all our sins.
Grant Jacob your faithfulness,
and Abraham your mercy,
as you swore to our fathers
from the days of long ago.

I am so sorry I saw this very late. I am a legionary too. Now the instruction for material relief is in the Legion Handbook but you must look at the reason why that instruction was given. The society is primarily for evangelism and doing other works in the parish and so it channels all the funds gotten from it to this work of spreading the faith through its highrachy. This fund is primarily gotten from the SBC. The instruction does not forbid legionaries from giving financial assistance but using the SBC for anything unrelated to their primary duty. Your SBC is supposed to be donated to the curia and onwards to other councils for the use of the Legion. When you are therefore called upon by the parish for any financial assistance, try as much as possible to make individual contribution except when the higher council permits that it should be collected from the Legion purse. Thanks
