Have Not Heard This Truth In Some Time. How About You?

Why must there be a general judgment since each one is judged individually at the moment of death? There are five reasons: that in a solemn fashion an end may be put to the human race; that the result of the particular judgment of each one may be made known to all men; that men as members of human society may be publicly judged, showing their influence for good or evil, since both good and evil spread on and until the  end of time; that the wisdom and justice of God may be seen and acknowledged by all men and the evil judgments of the world corrected; and that solemn and public submission of all creatures endowed with reason may be given to God. 

Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S.

Don't Let The Enemies of Truth Win

 

But, Lord, It Is So Difficult

(Image Source- Wikimedia Commons) Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work.   Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings.   One Bread, One Body

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence.  He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence.  Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence.  (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
