Proper Formation of Conscience


(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons)

…finally, every person has a right to freedom of conscience and the serious duty to follow his or her conscience.  But conscience never develops in a vacuum.  Conscience is never just an exercise of personal opinion or preference.  Every person has the obligation to form his or her conscience in the light of God’s truth.  And for all men and women, in every age and every culture, the truth about God and the human person is taught in a complete way only by the Catholic faith.  

(Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.)

Don't Starve To Death

 

Look Up! Look Up With the Eyes of Your Mind, Heart and Soul!

en t “When the Host is held on high and a chalice lifted…look up! Look up and see what Mary saw.  See a naked man squirming as He bleeds against a blackened sky; see a battered human body, writhing on a tree, prisoned there by savage spikes that have torn through Sacred hands and feet; see thorn-tortured head tossing from side to side as anguished torso labors, lifts and strains; see the eyes of God roll towards heaven beseeching, as broken lips blurt out that soul piercing cry: “My God, My God, Why has Thou forsaken Me?” What is this?  This is the Mass.  This is Crucifixion.  This is what Mary saw at the elevation of Christianity’s first Mass.  This is what you should see at the Elevation of every Mass!”  (From  The Way to God by Father M. Raymond, O.C.S.O. )

Don't Pray? Think Again!

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons ) In whatever state a soul may be, it ought to pray.  A soul which is pure and beautiful must pray, or else it will lose its beauty; a soul which is striving after this purity must pray, or else it will never attain it; a soul which is newly converted must pray, or else it will fall again; a sinful soul, plunged in sins, must pray so that it might rise again. There is no soul which is not bound to pray, for every single grace comes to the soul through prayer.   St. Maria Faustina Kowalska
