D.C. mayor signs same-sex ‘marriage’ legislation: A Reaction

-
"Via peccatorum complanata lapidibus : et in fine illorum inferi, et tenebræ, et pœnæ.
The way of sinners is made plain with stones, and in their end is hell, and darkness, and pains." (Ecclesiasticus 21:11)



You can find the article to which I am reacting here[D.C. mayor signs same-sex ‘marriage’ legislation]

We are fast approaching the time of Christmas, when Our Lord humbled Himself into human form to bring the way of truth and salvation upon the earth. Sadly, even as we ready ourselves to celebrate this time of great joy and light, there are some who promulgate the darkness of lies upon the earth and think of nothing greater than the falsity and fallibility of the human intellect. They spread the death of sin and ignore He who brings salvation and love to the world. They may call good bad and bad good, but it does not change eternal truth.

"No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon" (Matthew 6:24)

"Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world is the concupiscence of the flesh and the concupiscence of the eyes and the pride of life, which is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away and the concupiscence thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever." (1 John 2:15 - 17)
We should love the Lord with all our heart, and all our soul. We must not be deceived by feelings or emotional arguments, but be led by what is the universal truth which has been revealed to us by Christ. May we pray this Advent and Christmas season for a strengthening of Christian morals and values in society and for a greater reverence for that which is holy, for we cannot serve two masters. Either we serve the Lord with all our heart and soul or the world, but we cannot do both.

"Enter in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leads to life: and few there are that find it!" (Matthew 7:13-14)
In this world of relativism, modernism, nihilism, indifferentism, etc., many paths are proposed, but the fact is there is but one narrow path leading to God. How many are deceived to believe that they can do whatever they please and still be on it, but the Lord says it Himself: "few there are that find it!"  Our brethren in D.C. and many others have deviated from that path, let us pray that they find the path and learn to serve God and not mammon.

Pax tecum.

Praying In Latin

Praying in Latin can be a daunting task, especially if you have never studied the language before. If you are interested in praying in Latin, but are not confident in your pronunciation or don't know where to obtain some of the prayers, there is hope. The Boston Catholic Journal has a webpage that has a number of common prayers written in both English and Latin and includes the Latin audio tracks of the prayers. At the top portion of the page you will find prayers written in both Latin and English. They include: [I've included the Latin Audio Links] • Signum Crucis  - The Sign of the Cross • Pater noster  - Our Father • Ave Maria  - Hail Mary • Gloria Patri  - Glory Be • Angelus  - The Angelus • Confiteor  - The Confiteor (I Confess) • Credo  - Nicene Creed (I Believe) • Salve Regina  - Hail Holy Queen • Gloria in excelsis Deo  - Glory to God in the Highest • Laudes Divinae  - Divine Praises • Regina Coeli  - Queen of Heaven • Veni Sancte Spiritus  - Come Holy

I will be returning soon

After a very long hiatus, I have decided I will start writing again. The stress of where I thought the Church was going and what I hoped was erroneous thinking on my part stopped me. I, honestly, was also a bit fearful to tread that ground, but I think it is time for me to write as I would like after many years. I will start sharing my thoughts again and not worry so much as I did in the past. God bless.

Condoms made for 12 year olds. Sad day.

How sad are the times when the youth are openly corrupted. It is a travesty that young boys, aged between 12-14, will no longer be led down the road of self-restraint, but will now have a means to give into their base passions. Condoms provide only a means to self-gratification and a path to incomplete love. Sadly, these youth will be given this illusion as a means to an end and will be deluded into thinking that this action is love or will be trapped in the sin of lust. Have people really given up on the young and abandoned them to their lustful desires at their most vulnerable time, when they are at peak of the battle their hormones and are discovering life? Instead of children being taught the dignity and honor of their bodies, they are being taught how to defile it. It is truly a sad day. Read the excerpt from the article printed in  Mail Online.
