Thought for the day:

"Give me grace to amend my life, and to have an eye to mine end, without grudge of death, which to them that die in thee,
good Lord, is the gate of a wealthy life."
St. Thomas More

THREE THINGS

"Three things are necessary for the salvation of man; to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do."
St. Thomas Aquinas

Rights of Man?

"The people have heard quite enough about what are called the 'rights of man'. Let them hear about the rights of God for once". Pope Leo XIII Tamesti future, Encyclical

Eternity

All souls owe their eternity to Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, many have turned their back to him.

Post Vatican II

I want to pass on a video which I saw tonight, which is very disturbing and encouraging at the same time. it is in regards to what has happened to the Catholic Church, which is barely recognizable these days, but will none-the-less go on til the end of time, just as Our Lord promised. The site is this:

It is 48:32min. but worth the sitting. It will enlighten you, especially if you haven't noticed what has happened around you.

In regards to one part of the film, mention was made concerning Holy Communion, and the abuses which have occurred during the past 40+ yrs. I know that the priest's intention is crucial to effect the Body and Blood at the consecration. Sometimes I myself wonder if the consecration is correct, whether Christ is really there this time. Let me go on.
After I converted in 1982, I was told that by my godmother that angels were present at the Consecration. Made sense to me. However, one Easter, something wonderful happened during Mass. In those days, I was commentator, on the altar, reading intentions, etc. I had just knelt and received Communion, and was kneeling there while everybody else received. This man came up to my left carrying a boy of about 3-4. When they were in the front of the line, the little boy points at the altar and says to his dad, "Who are all those people?". The dad says, "There's nobody there." Daddy apparently didn't have the Faith that the eyes of a child saw.
Now at that church, nothing was on the altar except the Tabernacle and the risen Christ. I truly believe that the little boy saw the angels adoring Christ in the Eucharist. They were there! Maybe these days they are guarding the tabernacle or waiting for the clergy to once again put Him back where He belongs. Mary Magdalene said, "They have taken Him..." How prophetic!
For all those who think that the churches are empty, maybe you need to rethink, just in case.
