Denial is the worst kind of lie...because it is the lie you tell yourself.

Jesus Transcends Denominations

The Catholic Church sincerely believes that Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church and gave her the full deposit of faith. But many people misinterpret this to mean the Church teaches that all non-Catholic denominations are NOT teaching the truth and therefore their members are going to Hell.... (www.catholic365.com)

What is good about Good Friday? Why isn't it called Bad Friday? Because out of the appallingly bad came what was inexpressibly good. And the good trumps the bad, because though the bad was temporary, the good is eternal.

Humanity needs constant forgiveness and redemption. The power of the cross is LOVE and holds the promise of LIFE in Christ.... (www.catholic365.com)

Jesus is clear in his message: If I have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet. He tells us he is giving us an example of service to others. "As I have done for you, you should also do."………So why the reluctance to be a part of this? Why do we not want to follow Jesus in that? Maybe we are afraid; maybe just tired. It may be just a matter of trusting in God.

Jesus came into this world to destroy the power of sin and death. Jesus came into this world to offer freedom from sin, not from Pharaoh. Jesus came into this world to open up again the gates of Heaven, not the Red Sea. This is the freedom that Jesus won by dying on the Cross.... (www.catholic365.com)

In today’s reading we see John state clearly that if you know God then you follow the Apostles: We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and whoever is not from God does not listen to us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 1 John 4:6... (www.catholic365.com)

Man-Made Spirituality versus Communion With God

Attendance at Mass, regular confession, spiritual exercises, fasting, and prayer are wonderful vehicles of grace but if we think pious activities alone will sanctify us, we will only appear holy on the outside like the Pharisee... (www.catholic365.com)
