izutex007: You have missed his point. He is addressing word ministrations not just prayer. And I can relate with his ordeal having been in similar situation. |

Larryfly: Catholic church is One Church that reminds u of the need to be holy and at Peace with God. If you are a good Catholic who understands what the Eucharist is all about, u would know that u can't receive the holy Communion if u have committed a sin (especially a mortal sin) without going for confessions. This alone should make you uncomfortable in ur sin, especially when others go to receive the holy communion and u'r seated all through as a communicant. Not that anyone would care why u'r seating, but in your heart u wld know it's because u are not "in a state of Grace". In fact, pple leave the Catholic Church because they preach holiness most of the time and most people, especially the youths, do not want to hear all that because they consider it boring . So they go to churches where they preach what they want to hear, and at the same time do not emphasize on holiness, confessions, and penance. 2 Likes 1 Share |

izutex007: Extra activities outside the main church program is a proof of lack of fulfillment in the church.... As a Catholic back in Warri Fr Ozele used to fill the void with his spring of love, programs Because of lack feel spiritual depth, many Catholics have become part time 'pentecostals' church members and frequent visitors to prayer houses |

Thelma110: You are not correct. BTW, how often do you partake of the blood during communion? |
Re: Are You Comfortable In Your Place Of Worship?Read this photo inside by Themandator: 5:00pm On Jan 24, 2016 |
izutex007: No. But the depth of the ministration is equal to the effectiveness of the prayer.... |

ekenetheorg: It is more than you are willing to accept. It isabout knowing that it is dangerous to remain at the level of #ChildofGod. Until I left the Catholic Church I never knew there was a huge difference between child and sons of God. I am now conscious of it |

Larryfly: I stopped attending church for almost a year that my parents had a chat with me and I told them the church wasn't imparting me. |

Larryfly:Sorry but what you described as the catholic practice is alien to what I know as Catholicism. Perhaps you would know of our Sunday to Saturday masses, seven days of the week masses if u were truly conversant with your catholic activities which thus strikes out the rather erroneous notion that we are a two days church. We have youth fellowships at least once in a week in the various parishes were the word is shared, charismatic renewal, bible study classes etc these are avenues where you can get to study the bible. And Holy communion and confessions are not just rituals but are sacraments instituted by Christ himself; do this in memory of me and receive the holy spirit, whose sin u forgive they are forgiven and whose sin you retain they are retained. They are from Christ and point to him. My brother you seriously need to know more about your faith cos its as though u are yet to realize what you claim to practise |

iyke926: I guess you are not even a real Catholic because from what you wrote you are not a communicant and hence very prone to distractions. Catholic is the only church u can find a whole truth and salvation. Don't get confused |

Themandator: Larryfly: How active where you as a catholic? Was it just a Sunday thing or did u delve deeper to understand more? We all are born into homes where we find ourselves being in the same church as our parents...fact But in growing up as a child, was your home the type where your parents sit you down and teach you more about the church, or did they welcome questions from you so they could explain more about the teaching for the day or an understanding of your faith. I never had the luxury of all that as a child, so in my search for an understanding, I took to reading books on faith and spirituality...besydes the Bible *don't mind me...i love books* The church has an amazing library of books from different authors, and would rouse your curiosity to read more. I know the mass might seem too straightforward or routine, but it has a purpose; "our salvation", which I guess u might not have understood. I wish you took the time to understand every part of the mass in its detail. The kind of life i used to live before was not helpful if i was to call myself a christian, not until I decided to challenge myself to do different. I became a part of the opus dei center "helmbridge", and also joined the lay readers, where I hold an active position, and also being a part of the youth fellowship in church where I am a part of the word group; learning from people and also delivering talks when called upon. The thing is I don't know much as a christian, and I'm still eager to know more, and I'm forever thankful to the people I met so far in this life's journey...people i call my teachers and motivators...and as my principle in life, I look to the prayer of St. Francis of Asisi One question that still puzzles me is where do we draw the line between faith and morality?...cz i do bliv an atheist with a good heart would seem better than a christian who disregards Christ in all he does 1 Like |

Themandator: Dear....CCRN is a society within the church and not just an 'activity'. You said Many catholics.... The last time i checked 'Many' is not equal to 'all'. I will never coax any body to bcome/remain a catholic..I am a catholic by conviction. If you feel your conviction isnt satisfied, then who am I to convince you? All I know is this: I know the Lord I serve in truth and in spirit. Thanks to the catholic church. The same Jesus who died for the penticostals died for the catholics...same wit the miracles/prayer answered. No Church hold that as a 'monopoly'. #Peace |

izutex007: Why should the ministration that meets the needs of the people be at the society level and not the church? Christ did not rely on extras to impart... He changed destinies during his ministration |

sirusX: You are still saying the same thing : without the after mass programs and society, it is difficult to find spiritual fulfilment, within the Catholic Church. My summary : As a Catholic, majority are stock at the level of children of God.. And are perpetually under the elements of this world because the homilies rarely points you to sonship. |

All the churches of today are like resorts, they make u very comfortable with fine seats, aircondition and even gifts for new members. There's hardly any church that preaches salvation or rebukes sinners again. Its all about properity, money and power. 2 Likes |

kaeforum: You have to limit yourself to the ones you have been to because I know that of the 12 Months in a year, winners devotes an entire month to the subject of sanctification... The church stands on 12 pillars and each month a particular one is emphasized.. This month's theme is 'prayer and fasting facilitates the fulfilment of prophecy' 1 Tim1v18 |

Thelma110: Sin is sin... No classification. Every sin distances us from God. Receiving Christ has nothing to do with what others think about sitting down... You receive him with your heart and soul... Proof of holiness is demonstration..... The kingdom of God is not in words but power.... If Holiness is taught and is received with the heart and practiced, signs and wonders will be the proof.... If you are holy, you hear directly from God because your spirit would be able to connect with him( God) . |

Themandator: I guessed u dint get me or I dint explain well I meant all those activities helped me get a better understanding of the church and the mass (sumthing I neglected)...helping me listen, meditate and find that spiritual fulfilment. What you don't know....u have no understanding, so u say the things u say based on what you bliv. But who am I to judge. Based on what I know I could say some things about protestant churches of even the muslims, but I know that my views are sum1 from the outside looking in & it would be different from one who has been in that faith and taken the time to learn soo much |

Larryfly:it's because ur mind is almost made up against the Catholic Church. Secondly, what u want to hear in the Catholic Church is not said but things of the world like prosperity, mistaking magic as miracle and prasing God in an unholy way. My advice is either u should leave the Catholic Church and go and look for the "light" then after some weeks ask ur self if u are comfortable with ur self. Or sit down and ask to ahead of you in faith to enlighten you in Catholic faith through God way. |

Larryfly:my bro want I want you to know is that Catholic will only build you to have a personal relationship with God. The relationship is contain in the first question of the cathism class. Which who made you? and we say God made us. Why did God made you? We say God made us to KNOW HIM, SERVE HIM IN THIS WORLD HAPPYAND TO BE HAPPY AFTER OUR LIFE. Now the church has made u to know that u must have an encounter with God to know him better, serve him and be happy. How do you know God? by studying ur Bible, attending religious meeting and attending mass. Note: just as Christ was not begging for follwership the same the church doesn't beg for members to stay cos we all are going to account for our sins. |

iyke926: Yes it is but when you not us utilize it. but don't forget that for you not seeing things in my own perception does not mean dat am wrong it could still mean that u are not getting it right. if you were a Catholic and did not practice what christ instituted himself then something is wrong somewhere. I may call u a heretic |

Larryfly: Brother if it is not panadol it is not the same thing as panadol, the direction goes like this :go to confession regularly, visit the blessed sacrament and pray your rosary daily.... You are right on the road to salvation, remember our altimate aim in this life is to make heaven and nothing unclean can enter heaven says the Bible, if you could follow those parts I mentioned to you then u r good to go. |
