Single Catholics Are To Be Chaste and CelibateWhen single Catholics have friends, it is paramount that they make sure that those friendships remain good and holy friendships. Some singles make the mistake of following the secular ways of the world where they sexualize their relationships instead of respecting themselves and others. We, as single Catholics are supposed to be followers of Jesus and, as followers of Jesus, we must respect other people and act in a way that is befitting a Catholic Christian in our world today. We cannot follow the secular and sometimes hedonistic ways of this modern world because it is contrary to Jesus' teachings and the Commandments of God. We need to make sure that we always stay close to Jesus and our Catholic faith. We also need to help our family, friends and others come to Christ and His Catholic Church.

What To Do With TemptationsTemptations come to every Catholic. What matters is how we deal with and manage them. We are never alone in our troubles. We need to know that Jesus is always with us and He can be there for us if we ask for His help and guidance. When we are having difficulty managing the temptations that come our way, we need to immediately re-direct our thoughts and minds toward God and to Jesus and we need to pray for protection and make holy decisions and not evil ones. The video above offers some advice on What To Do With Temptations.

Vatican City, Feb 22, 2020 / 08:30 am (CNA).- The Vatican announced Saturday the approval of a miracle attributed to the intercession of Venerable Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager and computer programmer, who died in 2006. The miracle involved the healing of a Brazilian child suffering from a rare congenital anatomic anomaly of the pancreas in 2013. The Medical Council of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes gave a positive opinion of the miracle last November. With Pope Francis’ approval of the miracle promulgated by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints Feb. 21, Acutis can now be beatified.

For the Month of February 2020
The Holy family The month of February is dedicated to the Holy Family. The special devotion which proposes the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph as the model of virtue of all Christian households began in the 17th century. It started almost simultaneously in Canada and France: the Association of the Holy Family was founded in Montreal in 1663, and by the Daughters of the Holy Family in Paris in 1674. This devotion soon spread and in 1893 Leo XIII expressed his approval of a feast under this title and himself composed part of the Office.
The feast was welcomed by succeeding Pontiffs as an efficacious means for bringing home to the Christian people the example of the Holy Family at Nazareth, and by the restoration of the true spirit of family life, stemming, in some measure, the evils of present-day society. In the words of His Holiness Pope Leo XIII, "Nothing truly can be more salutary or efficacious for Christian families to meditate upon than the example of this Holy Family, which embraces the perfection and completeness of all domestic virtues." The Hidden Life of the Holy Family The home of Nazareth is the school where we begin to understand the life of Jesus—the school of the Gospel. First, then, a lesson of silence. May esteem for silence, that admirable and indispensable condition of mind, revive in us...A lesson on family life. May Nazareth teach us what family life is, its communion of love, its austere and simple beauty, and its sacred and inviolable character...A lesson of work. Nazareth, home of the Carpenter's Son, in you I would choose to understand and proclaim the severe and redeeming law of human work. — Paul VI at Nazareth, January 5, 1964 On the doorpost of the house at Nazareth was fastened a wooden tube containing a rolled parchment inscribed with the passage quoted above from the Book of Deuteronomy and another passage (11:13-21) citing the blessings of serving God. On entering and leaving the house the members of the Holy Family would piously touch this Mezuzah, saying, "May God keep my going out and coming in from now on and forevermore." All this was intended to show reverence for the word of God. Such was the vocal and the more or less formal prayer which Jesus, Mary, and Joseph offered in their home at Nazareth. In their hearts, however, they prayed always. Just as the Heart of Jesus was constantly united with His divinity, so were the hearts of Mary and Joseph so closely bound to God that their every action was a prayer. — Excerpted from Reflections on the Life of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, Francis L. Filas, S.J. Imitation of the Holy Family The Holy Family models for us what family life should exemplify. It is a school of virtue for both parents and children. There we find God, and learn how to connect with God and with others. The family is where love is freely given without self-interest. It is where we learn to love, to pray and to practice the gift of charity. Pope John Paul II has said, “The family, more than any other human reality, is the place in which the person is loved for himself and in which he learns to live the sincere gift of self” (Nov. 27, 2002). We should ask ourselves if our own families model that of the Holy Family. We need to be open to God’s grace to value the positive and to accept our mistakes — and to be willing to rectify them. Parenting is a very challenging responsibility and at times errors are made despite the best intentions. Recognizing this, children should trust their parents and never forget that parents want only what is best for them. Which leads us to what may be the most important family virtue — forgiveness. Living so intimately within the family nucleus naturally gives rise to unpleasant situations where someone is apt to be offended. St. Paul knew this when he told us to “bear with and forgive one another.” The health of our family may depend on how quickly we learn to forgive without harboring feelings of resentment. It is also important to pray as a family, especially the holy rosary. Prayer will help us to intensify our closeness with each other and to learn to forgive. It is essential to discover the relationship between the Eucharist and family life. Pope John Paul II wrote, “In the Eucharistic gift of charity the Christian family finds the foundation and soul of its communion and its mission” (Letter on the Family, No. 57). — Excerpted from The Holy Family models what family life should be, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. Click here to recite the Consecration to the Blessed Mother and to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Above Artlcle Source Credits: CatholicCulture.org

"Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee profoundly, and I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of the same Son Jesus Christ, present in the Tabernacles of the world, in reparation for all the sacrileges, outrages and indifferences by which He Himself is offended. And by the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners. Amen"

Many Catholics dream of visiting the holy Marian shrines but may find it too expensive to do so. With modern technology, the Catholic Church has found ways to make the Marian shrines available to all people by allowing Catholics and all Christians to ask petitions and to view the Marian shrines live on location. Please take the time to spend some time with Our Blessed Mother at Her shrines and email your petitions to Her. You can also listen to the information about the various Marian apparitions. Click on the names of the Shrines to be transported to those locations and click on the stories of Our Lady.

This video by Vivacristo describes about the visions of the afterlife as described by St. Faustina Kowalska. We need to all make sure that we change our lives so that we all will attain heavenly salvation and not eternal destruction. If you have sinned, please go to confession as soon as possible so that you will again be united with God and Our Lord Jesus. Then, make sure that you do not continue to offend God or Our Lord anymore. |

It is extremely important that single Catholics throughout the world learn about their faith. There are some Catholics who were not catechized well as children and did not learn much about their faith at that young age. As adult Catholics, we must all get to know what our Catholic faith teaches so that no one is ignorant of the faith. Take the time now to read the online version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Once you learn more about your Catholic faith, you can then help to pass on that information to family and many others. Click here |
