To: Cronos

Cronos, I agree strongly. Nothing that the anti-Catholics here have done, has harmed my faith. I am more secure in my Church than I was before encountering FR’s anti-Catholics, and I thank the Lord Almighty for sending them here to push me into becoming a better Catholic than I was before.

Heh.

To: Judith Anne; Cronos
When we do as we ought, God who enables and spurs us to do it, uses the works He gave as a conduit for His grace. So, God is due prayer and praise. If he gave us nothing more, we would still owe Him his due. But when we pray and praise, as mysteriously as wheat germinating and growing in a field, he grows grace in us.

So also, in our seeking, however inadequately, to convey the truth about Him, He who needs no defense is not made stronger. We are.
