We Love God!

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

I am guilty of loving money when: 1. Thoughts of money consume my day. 2. Others’ success makes me jealous. 1. I define success in terms of what I have rather than what I am in Christ. 2. My family is neglected in my pursuit of money. 3. I close my eyes to the genuine needs of others. 4. I am living in the paralyzing fear of losing it. 5. I am prepared to borrow myself into bondage. 6. God gets my leftovers, rather than my first fruits.

[T]he sober truth is that without a full disclosure on sin, the gospel of grace becomes impertinent, unnecessary, and finally uninteresting.

    Sabbatine Privilege

    SABBATINE PRIVILEGE

    BASIC R.C. BELIEF Early liberation from Purgatory through Mary’s intercession. Roman Catholic commentators disagree about this special indulgence. Some say sabbatine refers to a time after death (a rest) and only indicates Purgatory will be brief. The classic belief is that a person, having complied with certain conditions, is to be released from Purgatory by the Blessed Virgin the Saturday after his death.

    The conditions include wearing the brown Scapular or a scapular medal, observance of chastity in accord with one’s state in life and a daily recitation of a litany to Mary. If one cannot read, abstinence from meat on Wednesdays and Saturdays may be substituted. Certain other priests can grant other substitutions.

    POST VATICAN II In Modern Roman Catholicism, these practices are dying out, and are often denied.
