As single Catholics, we should all strive for purity of body, mind and spirit and it doesn't matter what gender or age you are. The modern world has many enticements and sexual allurements but we need to ask God, Jesus, and the Blessed Mother to keep us strong despite them all. Click here.

All single Catholics face temptations to live the worldly secular life that many other single people are living. Many times, the secular way of life is directly opposed to the teachings of Jesus, against the Commandments of God and against the Catholic Church. We need to stay close to Jesus at all times and remain persistent in going to Mass and receiving the Sacraments of the Church if we want to receive eternal salvation. Watch above video.

Fatima Mysteries -- Mary's Message to the Modern Age
by Grzegorz Gorny
The apparitions in 1917 of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three peasant children in Fatima, Portugal, are perhaps the most important private revelations in the history of the Church. At the height of World War I and on the eve of the Russian Revolution, Our Lady appeared in Fatima to warn us of another even greater world war, the spread of Communism, and a terrible persecution of the Church unless people returned to God. She asked for us to offer daily prayer and sacrifice for conversion of the world and salvation of souls.
Because of the prophetic nature of Our Lady's messages and their potential significance for the entire world, they have been the subject of much study and controversy, and they have influenced the decisions not only of many individuals, but also of Popes, Bishops, and heads of state.

Vatican City, Dec 8, 2019 / 04:49 am (CNA).- With Our Lady’s Immaculate Conception, God was, even before Mary’s birth, putting into motion his plan of salvation for the world, Pope Francis said Sunday. “Today we consider the beginning of this fulfillment” of God’s promise, he said Dec. 8, during his weekly Angelus address, even “before the birth of the Mother of the Lord.” “In fact, her immaculate conception leads us to that precise moment when Mary’s life began to palpitate in her mother’s womb,” he continued. “Already there was the sanctifying love of God, preserving her from the contagion of evil that is a common heritage of the human family.”

"I am confident that I will behold the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."
Psalms 27:13 God Will Lift You Up Reflection: No need to feel left out in the cold. There is always grace. Do not weep for yourself. Self-pity will only bring you down further. The Lord will lift you up this day. He will revive your drooping spirit. Prayer: I feel your embrace, O Lord; carry me higher. Amen --Excerpts taken from "Uplifting Thoughts for Every Day" By Fr.

For the Month of December
The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus The Church celebrates the Birth of Jesus Christ, the first day in the octave of Christmas. Throughout Advent the Church longed ardently for the coming of our Savior. She celebrates His birth with unrestrained joy. "The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." The Son of God became man to give us a share in that divine life which is eternally His in the Blessed Trinity. Christmas time begins on December 24 with the first Vespers of the feast and ends on the feast of the Baptism of Christ. White vestments reappear in our churches as a sign of joy.
The Christmas feast is a festival full of joy. The Eternal Word has become Man and dwells among us. The longings of the patriarchs and prophets are fulfilled. With the shepherds we hurry to the manger and adore the Incarnate Son of God, Who for us and for our salvation descended upon earth. The purpose of the Christmas feast is beautifully expressed in the Preface of the Nativity: "For by the mystery of the Word made flesh the light of Thy glory hath shone anew upon the eyes of our mind; so that while we acknowledge Him a God seen by men, we may be drawn by Him to the love of things unseen." During the Christmas season there is an extensive exchange of greetings and good wishes among friends. These greetings are a reminder of those "good tidings of great joy that shall be to all the people, for this day is born to you a Savior Who is Christ the Lord" (Lk. 2:11). They are a reminder, too, that all blessings and graces come to us from Christ: "Hath He not also with Him given us all things?" (Rom. 8:32). During the Christmas season there is also an exchange of gifts. This custom should recall to us that on this day God Himself gave to us the greatest of all gifts, His beloved Son: "God so loved the world as to give His only begotten Son" (John 3: 16). The Christmas tree, of which the first-known mention was made in 1605 at Strasbourg, was introduced into France and England in 1840. It symbolizes the great family tree of Christ which through David and Jesse has its roots in Abraham, the father of the chosen race. It is often laden with gifts to remind us that Christmas brought us the priceless gifts of grace and of eternal life. It is frequently adorned with lights that recall to us that Christ is the Light of the world enlightening those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. Though not entirely unknown before, the custom of the Christmas Crib was adopted by St. Francis of Assisi at Greccio, Italy, on Christmas 1225. It is a concrete and vivid way of representing to ourselves the Incarnation and birth of Christ. It depicts in a striking manner the virtues of the newborn Savior, especially His humility, poverty, and charity. Let us try to celebrate Christmas with the innocence and humility of children always keeping in mind the wonderful birth of the Christ Child. Joy to the world the Lord has come, let earth receive her King. Christmas: the Lord’s Birth This is the great solemnity that shows the world that the Word incarnate, the Savior of mankind, is finally born. God becoming truly man is an enormous event. Christmas says to us: alone we can’t profoundly change the world to remedy it. Alone, we can make the world better or worse, but we can’t save it. This gives us hope, true hope, and true Christian optimism: I can’t do it but Jesus is there! This is the mystery of grace synthesized in the human figure of God incarnate. Christmas Eve and Christmas day are moments of contemplation. We consider, in many dimensions, the mystery of love that was incarnated for us. First of all, we contemplate the light and joy, without forgetting Jesus and Mary’s sorrows and sufferings, and the many difficulties that had surrounded them: the cold, the uncomfortable place, the dangers….. It would be good to accompany these thoughts by reciting and meditating slowly on the Holy Rosary, preferably in front of a crib. ‘Blessed grotto of Bethlehem that testified to the wonders! Listen to the way that St Bonaventura, the seraphic doctor, invites us to contemplate this scene in his ‘Meditation on the life of Jesus Christ’: ‘You have also lingered, bent your knee, adored the Lord God, venerated His Mother and greeted Joseph, the holy man, with reverence. Therefore, kiss the feet of the baby Jesus, who lies in the manger, and pray that the Holy Virgin will allow you to hold Him. Take Him between your arms, hold Him and see His lovable face, kiss it with reverence and rejoice with Him. You can do this because He has come to bring salvation to sinners and He has humbly conversed with them, finally giving Himself in the Eucharist’. Christmas also reminds us of the great mystery of God’s people, of the Church acquired through Christ’s blood, animated by the life giving Spirit, governed by the legitimate shepherds in communion with the successor of Peter. On this day in which the Word came to earth, assuming human nature, body, and soul, how can we not think about His Mystical Body that is animated by the Holy Spirit? ‘For this reason, by no weak analogy, [the Church] is compared to the mystery of the incarnate Word. As the assumed nature inseparably united to Him, serves the divine Word as a living organ of salvation, so, in a similar way, does the visible social structure of the Church serve the Spirit of Christ, who vivifies it, in the building up of the body’ (Vatican II, Lumen Gentium, n.8). Holy Christmas also reminds us of the mystery of Mary as Mother of God, mother of the Incarnated Word, and mother of His mystical body, the Church. Christmas encourages us to contemplate Jesus together with Mary, reflecting on Jesus with ‘His mother’, as recounted many times in the Gospels. If our faith must be fully evangelical, it can not neglect a sane and profound devotion to the Mother of God, as she shows us the easiest way to reach Jesus.

The Angel's Prayer of Fatima
"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 |
