Please fast and pray every Thursday for the renewal of the Catholic Church in America. Please note: The Cybersociety will fast on Fridays beginning January 2013, in accordance with ancient custom.

This is not a photoblog; this is not a Catholic trivia blog. The story of our origins.

                  Remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.    

 They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires."  These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.  


       


But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.



Letter of St. Jude, v. 17-20. His symbol is the ship, for his missionary activities. His feast day is October 28.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."  --Matthew 7:7

"...let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith."    --James 1:6

 Ask. And if you need faith, ask for that too.

Happy Saint Francis' Day!





"Religious and social cranks of all sorts have appealed to him for justification, and he has completely won the hearts of the sentimental. But the idylls that are associated with his name--the marriage with Lady Poverty, the listening birds, [etc.]...were only, so to speak, the 'trimmings' of a character which was wholly imbued with the spiritual, inspired by Christian dogma, and devoted not simply to Christ but to the crucified Christ." (Butler's Lives of the Saints)




Francis re-building (literally) the church.
