Keep Me Faithful

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, by the will of the Father and the work of the Holy Spirit your death brought life to the world.

By your Holy Body and Blood free me from all my sins, and from every evil. Keep me faithful to your teaching, and never let me be parted from you.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

Catechism of the Catholic Church - LIFE IN CHRIST

2. Ways of Coming to Know God

33 The human person: With his openness to truth and beauty, his sense of moral goodness, his freedom and the voice of his conscience, with his longings for the infinite and for happiness, man questions himself about God's existence. In all this he discerns signs of his spiritual soul. The soul, the "seed of eternity we bear in ourselves, irreducible to the merely material,"can have its origin only in God.

Random Thought

Far, far from the Christian be the love of novelty! God hates the proud and obstinate mind. -- St. Pius X

St. Matthew, one of the twelve Apostles, is the author of the first Gospel.

This has been the constant tradition of the Church and is confirmed by the Gospel itself. He was the son of Alpheus and was called to be an Apostle while sitting in the tax collectors place at Capernaum.

Before his conversion he was a publican, i.e., a tax collector by profession. He is to be identified with the "Levi" of Mark and Luke.

His apostolic activity was at first restricted to the communities of Palestine. Nothing definite is known about his later life. There is a tradition that points to Ethiopia as his field of labor; other traditions mention of Parthia and Persia. ...Read On
