Our Lady, the Mother of God. She is the Co-Redemptrix of the Church. As we dive into this topic at hand, it is important to note a few points. Every Mariological truth is in Scripture. Never Hold Mariological truth to a higher standard to Christological or Trinitary truths. Magisterium, Scripture, and Tradition are necessary togetherContinue reading “Mother Mary as Co-Redemptrix”

Becoming a Saint
One word comes to mind when I think about sainthood. The word is sacrifice. Sacrifice is a saintly service to live by. Even the smallest sacrifices make a difference in our world today. We know how Christ sacrificed for us (1). We are to be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love,Continue reading “Becoming a Saint”
Importance of Freedom
Ah the importance of freedom. It is such a vital component between Man and God. Man is rational and is created with free will. We are not Slaves of God, rather Children of God who freely choose on our own. We have the freedom to seek & follow our Creator (1,2). Free will is Freedom.Continue reading “Importance of Freedom”
Relationship w/ God
Our relationship with God is a Love Affair (1). It is not just initial infatuation, but rather real love sustained through repeated acts of the will. It is like marriage and faith. We are meant to love God with all our heart, mind, and soul (2). We promise faithfully to live out that commitment forContinue reading “Relationship w/ God”
God: The Trinity
Ah the Trinity, so much to talk about it. The Trinity is “a mystery of faith in the strict sense, one of the mysteries that are hidden in God” (CCC 237). The Trinity is not three gods, but three Divine Persons in one God. As the Fourth Lateran Council puts it, “each of the personsContinue reading “God: The Trinity”
Defend the Church
Does it feel like more and more our faith in God is put to the test? Not that we don’t love Him, but we question the plans He has for us? We know that faith is “the free assent to the whole truth that God has revealed” (CCC 150). Let it be known that “God’sContinue reading “Defend the Church”
The Prayer Life
Sometimes when we pray, we expect God to answer our prayers with a snap of our fingers. Sometimes we give up on praying to God after the first day, week, month, etc. Because we feel our prayer never got answered, God may be ignoring us or what ever the case may be. It’s okay, IContinue reading “The Prayer Life”
The Pro-Life Stance
There is no question that I stand and support all Life. I believe that everyone (the born and unborn) have a Right to Life. I stand with the Church and her teachings. For those who may not know, “since the first century, the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teachingContinue reading “The Pro-Life Stance”
The Search for Truth
Ah, the search for truth. As Christians, we are called to live truth (1). It leads us to question things, which is a great thing! If we did not question things, how are we to know what is true? Truth opens and unites our minds in the Lógos of love (2). Lógos is another name for the “Word ofContinue reading “The Search for Truth”
Patience
Patience. Its tough to live up too. Definitely not something achieved in a short period of time. Looks so easy to do and yet, its difficult to live out. How does one become patient? I have used prayer in these moments, as it is written “And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you willContinue reading “Patience”
