Msgr Pope ping
Speaking of how Satan deceives people with language:
Cardinal Wuerl has a very clever name for collaborating in the sacrilegious reception of Communion, causing grave scandal: He calls it “a pastoral approach.” That’s a great gift, being able to dress up one’s own mortal sin in language that makes it sound as though you are caring for souls.
Ping!
Not by “dumb luck” do we continue day after day but through the Holy Spirit that truly owns us
**With the bait of greed for more and more possessions comes the hook. Perhaps it is credit card bills we cannot pay, perhaps it is slavery to a kind of lifestyle that we think we cannot live without, but we cannot really afford and which drives us to need double incomes, and work long hours. And thus we never know our children or really even enjoy the things we think we have. Perhaps too, it is a supreme frustration that no matter how much more we have, it is never enough. Our eyes are never really satisfied with seeing, our ears with hearing, or our will with amassing. For we seem to insatiably want more as the hook of greed drives its points deeper within us, snaring our hearts so that Satan reels us in.**
Another warning about greed
Undermines monotheism.
