“Why can’t the Catholic church keep it simple and go right to the Father as Jesus told us to and taught us to in the Lord’s Prayer?”
In fact, the Holy Catholic Church does exactly that, every day, all around the world. It does that in the Sacrifice of the Mass, the Holy Eucharist. And every human being, by accepting Christ and by being in a State of Grace can come to Our Father, in Person, in the Flesh at that Mass. Truly an extraordinary Miracle, repeated daily in every nation and for the last 2,000+ years.
This is part of what confuses protestants and other heretics, since they fail to accept God’s simple Word and do not have the sublime Glory of this ultimate act of Worship, they see the many prayers of the Church in a false light. But when the Truth reaches them in all of the great beauty that Truth holds, then they come Home to Rome.
May the Blessing of Our Lord fall on all of us this wonderful season of Advent, as we all prepare to receive the King of Kings into our homes, our lives and our hearts.
Not going to Rome...Rome is not my home nor is Rome the home of any Christian...My home is in heaven...
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
And every human being, by accepting Christ and by being in a State of Grace can come to Our Father, in Person, in the Flesh at that Mass
Accepting a cracker into your stomach is not accepting Jesus into your soul...State of Grace??? Where's that, next to Massachusetts???
May the Blessing of Our Lord fall on all of us this wonderful season of Advent, as we all prepare to receive the King of Kings into our homes, our lives and our hearts.
How are you going to accomplish that??? The King of Kings and Lord of Lords is already in my home and has been since the day I received Him into my heart/soul as my Savior...But you're still waiting??? What's up with that??? You only get this blessing for that 20 minutes that the Lord is in your digestive tract???
