Trust in Christ and nothing else.

Amen. We are agreed. We just have different ideas about HOW to Trust in Christ.

Someday I will have to tell you my personal testimony about the incredible graces I have experienced participating in the sacraments. Through the sacrament of Confession, the Lord took away my desire for pornography -- it does nothing for me now. Those demons were chased away. Participation in the Sacrament of the Eucharist has transformed my life. I hear and read the Word and I also eat His Body and Drink His Blood. What a tremendous gift it is, for me, to stand before the Eucharist and KNOW, before me, that IS My Lord present materially in the flesh in the re-representation of His Sacrifice on Calvary. Wow! And to take the hidden manna of His Flesh into MY Body -- how can I not be changed? It brings me to my knees. I wish you could have that experience just once, and then maybe, just maybe you might understand where I'm coming from...

Sadly though, many Catholics take the Eucharist but do not really believe. They eat and drink judgment upon them selves, says the Word of God. I pray the Lord will be merciful with them -- I was once there myself.

God bless.

But that is not how Christ told us to worship him. We are spiritual beings and we are to worship and enjoy Him spiritually.

If the materialistic so enthralls you, it's too bad you don't experience the spiritual. It is far superior. As God wills.

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." -- 2 Corinthians 4:18

You, my dear brother, "get it"

We protestants have had similar life changing experiences without taking the Eucharist. We confess our sins to our God through His Son, Jesus Christ. He fills us with His Holy Spirit and we are alive in Him. Don’t think Catholics are the only ones who have had these experiences. God is no respecter of persons. His universal catholic church is the entire body of believers. I hope one day you will see that. Blessings, Mary
