CATHOLIC DOCTRINE


Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered
and let them that hate Him
Flee from before His Face.
~Psalm 67
¡Viva Cristo Rey! ¡Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe!
Si vis pacem, para bellum!
Benedictus Deus in Saecula!

This post which ends December 31, 2018, I would like to help souls by truly understanding what we are to believe in, in being Catholic. Not just saying that you are Catholic but truly living IT.

In posting the Christian Doctrine I pray that those who read my blog will not only reflect on this past year but also on years past to understand that there is always something to learn and to share with others.

We are all on a journey and I pray on a path to heaven and not somewhere with flames yes hell and purgatory both have flames as stated in the Holy Bible and warnings from Our Heavenly Mother. This has made me reflect on and it reminded me of my own soul and where I want to go when I pass from this life.
I pray it does the same for all who read my blog.

Reflect on how you live and have lived your Catholic Faith this past year and if you are not Catholic, why aren’t you? If you are not, why not look into It? You will not be disappointed.

Any questions, please ask.

Daily Meditation
Remember, Christian soul, that today and every day of your life, you have:
God to glorify,                            
Jesus to imitate,
The Angels and Saints to pray to,
Your soul to save,
Your body to mortify,
Virtues to acquire,
Hell to avoid,
Heaven to gain,
Eternity to prepare for,
Time to profit by,
Neighbors to edify,
The world to despise,
The devil to combat
Passions to subdue,
Death, perhaps, to meet,
Judgment to face.

Pray to God and ask Our Lady of Sorrows, St. Joseph her most chaste spouse, St. Michael and St. Raphael to pray for and protect us, we need their help in this, The Final Battle.

I offer everything that I do to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of His Holy Mother, any and all errors are mine.
