We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Salvation is the exchange of all that we are for all that He is
John MacArthur

There is a preacher of the old school but he speaks as boldly as ever. He is not popular, though the world is his parish and he travels every part of the globe and speaks in every language. He visits the poor, calls upon the rich, preaches to people of every religion and no religion, and the subject of his sermon is always the same. He is an eloquent preacher, often stirring feelings which no other preacher could, and bringing tears to eyes that never weep. His arguments none are able to refute, nor is there any heart that has remained unmoved by the force of his appeals. He shatters life with his message. Most people hate him; everyone fears him. His name? Death. Every tombstone is his pulpit, every newspaper prints his text, and someday every one of you will be his sermon.

Angelus

ANGELUS

BASIC R.C. BELIEF A devotion to which people are called by the church bell at 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m. It commemorates the Incarnation, and consists of three versicles (short sentences and responses), three Hail Marys and a special prayer.

St. Thomas Aquinas says that in sending His Son into the world, God wanted to contract a certain spiritual marriage between Him and human nature. Therefore, He sent the angel to ask Mary’s consent, in the place of the whole human race. This is brought out in the Angelus.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT This is the kind of prayer condemned by Jesus in Matthew 6:7.
