[Salvation]

In sum, may we all appreciate and value SILENCE. If done with an attitude of prayer, God will speak most eloquently in the depths of our hearts.

Excellent post. I especially liked -

#5. The Example of St. Joseph.

P.S. I knew of veneration, dulia, hyperdulia, and Adoration, but never before the term ‘protodulia’.

Thank you for your edification. † Dominus vobiscum †

One wonders how some Catholic FReepers justify all their rage and fury at Pope Francis, EVEN THOUGH he was ELECTED to the papacy by Cardinals who KNEW his policies and plans, all in the face of Advent and the celebration of the birth of our good Lord and Savior, Jesus.

That prolonged, virulent and sustained hatred CAN'T be good for their minds, hearts and souls, can it?

PAX TIBI.
