A new Legion of Mary Praesidium (group) is forming at St. Bede Catholic Church in Williamsburg, VA. Its first meeting will be September 8th at 8:00 a.m. For more information contact webmaster@legionofmarytidewater.com.
When the children went to come to Jesus, his disciples stopped them. Jesus said for them to let the children come and that unless one becomes as a child he will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Children naturally seek to learn. They learn from adults, children, peers, tv, radio, etc. Be carefull what they are exposed to; do not expose them to protestant or nondenominational influences. Rather than exposing them to the culture of death, expose them to the Culture of Life.
Children learn to test things, and to respond to hate with love.
Children are due the same dignity as adults. Like adults they need the sacrements and prayer.
The worst of times makes the best of saints.
Beware of false prophits. St. John Chrysostom says this passage talks about nonpracticing Catholics. Flesh begets flesh; Spirit begets Spirit. Fasting and suffering can help. So can prayer and reception of the Holy Eucharist.
The Spirit and the Bride say come. Be a witness, and example.
The priest must live in the world, but be a witness to that which is not of this world. Likewise, all must be a light in our culture of death and darkness.
Do not expose children to mainstream media, or bad influences like the 700 club and dirty jokes. Teach children the culture of life. Treat people as people.
Patience = willingness to suffer
Jesus’s suffering atoned for our sins. The atonement for our sins is applied to us personally.
Our natural body is the body of Adam. The body we see is a shell. Within us is the seed of a glorified body. The real splendour of our person is not fully visible. At the last judgement we will see our true splendour.
