The Uncensored Truth
Christianity is all or nothing. Jesus died on the cross and gave everything for us that we might give everything to Him. If He is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all. One Bread, One Body – November 5, 2000

Most Excellent Example of Patience
If you are looking for an example of patience, behold there on the cross the most excellent example of patience. For great patience is shown in two ways.

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) The Mass is mystery; it is the summation and resolution of all the mysteries. It is the focal point of Mary’s life; the focal point of Christ’s life; the focal point of the life of every true Christian. Have you ever assisted at Mass? It is the crucifixion of God.
