just to add a bit, another thing that strengthens me is the power of the cross and how the temptation goes away when you do it, and how the devils tremble at the sign of the cross. also, the pope always reminds us to ask God. So, ask God to give yo…

when someone said this, Regarding the question about whether alcohol is permitted or not, let us remember that All things are pure for those who are pure (lol including alcohol). i was reminded of the story of St. Macarius and how when he was eatin…

i was listening to a sermon by the pope and he mentioned this verse (Genesis 1:2-5) 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. he said some people only look at this part and leave the rest out, which is And…

GArgiriadis & Godislove260, What you seem to be going at is that some people believe that they can discern. let me warn you, never say "I can" but rather what God has allowed me to do. forgive me, but i think this thought of "I can" is from t…

[quote author=Godislove260 link=topic=7874.msg103689#msg103689 date=1243891844] If someone knows that going on the net is too great of a temptation for them and they know they won't resist the temptation to visit certain sites, then it might be best…

by just examining it, i think the circle in the center must represent no beginning and no end or rather THE beginning and THE end, the Alpha and the Omega and by looking carefully at the design i can see a heart on each of the 4 branches. on the to…

i didn't get what people were saying pertaining to the past or present tense. Some people seem to be in agreement with each other; however, they are stating different views. So, to make it clear, should it be Christ is Risen or Christ has Rise…
