Monsignor Pope Ping!
It's always sad to see those who hate our faith. Their anti-Catholic remarks show their abysmal level of Christianity. I seriously doubt if ANY brand of Christianity allows for anti-Catholic remarks. And goes for a big vice versa.
Today's readings were from the
Collect of the Mass honoring Italian-born St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, (one of 13 children) who ended up working TIRELESSLY for the Italian immigrants in the USA. Her life was so long, interesting and MULTI-continental. I didn't know that, in the name of our Lord Jesus, she opened schools and hospitals in the Americas. Her work for our good Lord spreads the Word of God by EXAMPLE, often the best way.
the Book of Wisdom 13:1-9, speaking about the distractions of this life. I found that particularly interesting! I do get distracted sometimes by the insane, unthinking drivers.
Of course, the Psalms are always and always glorious to hear. THE HEAVENS PROCLAIM THE GLORY OF GOD. They are beautiful to hear and recite, aren't they?
The Gospel Luke 17: 26-37 spoke of "Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather."
Now I DO NOT refer to any poster here by name but that sure does ring true with some of the Catholic bashing I read. They know who they are...and so do we.
And, speaking of vultures, I also do not refer to LAWYERS! :o)
