FISH STORY
“Come after Me and I will make you fishers of men.” –Matthew 4:19 After Andrew met Jesus, “the first thing he did was seek out his brother Simon and tell him, ‘We have found the Messiah!’ ” (Jn 1:41) With his first cast, Andrew caught not just a man but the fisher of men and women, Simon Peter. Andrew, on his first try at evangelism, caught the man who would...

Thought for Wednesday November 30
Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life. They are more precious than gold, than a heap of purest gold; Sweeter also than syrup or honey from the comb. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life. Matthew 4: 18 – 22 As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. What job do I want Jesus...

Saint of the Day
St. Andrew (1st century) Andrew, the brother of St. Peter, was a fisherman. He was the first Apostle to follow Christ. After Our Lord ascended into Heaven, he went to Greece to preach the gospel. He was put to death by being tied to a cross, where he lived for two days, continuing to preach to the people who gathered around him.

letsbereallove asked: Hi, it would be nice if you would answer some of the questions on the other blog with scriptures. The Word is something that people can refer to & see for themselves. For example, eating chocolate as a comfort food. A verse about greed or God being our comfort would have been nice. This is just something I observed & it's just my opinion so you can just ignore it or whatever. Have a...

Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever. Justice shall flower in his days, and profound peace, till the moon be no more.

November 24, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Since Steve Jobs’ death in October, numerous pro-life commentators have linked the fact that Jobs was adopted to the issue of abortion – pointing out how different the world would be if Jobs’ birth mother had simply chosen to abort her unwanted pregnancy.
But it turns out that pro-life groups weren’t the only ones to make the connection: Jobs himself...

CLIMBING ADVENT MOUNTAIN
“Come, let us climb the Lord’s mountain.” –Isaiah 2:3 Advent is a time for mountain-climbing. It is climbing with all nations (Is 2:2) the highest mountain so that the Lord “may instruct us in His ways, and we may walk in His paths” (Is 2:3). Advent is being like Moses. We climb Mt. Sinai, receive the Ten Commandments, descend radiant with God’s glory, and...
Life in Christ: Catechism #2502
Sacred art is true and beautiful when its form corresponds to its particular vocation: evoking and glorifying, in faith and adoration, the transcendent mystery of God – the surpassing invisible beauty of truth and love visible in Christ, who “reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature,” in whom “the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily.” This...

Saint of the Day
St. Catherine Laboure (1806-1876)
Catherine was a mystic who had a vision of St. Vincent de Paul; he told her that God wanted her to work with the sick. She later had a vision of Our Lady who described to her what is now known as the Miraculous Medal.

Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord. Because of my relatives and friends I will say, “Peace be within you!” Because of the house of the LORD, our God, I will pray for your good. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord. Matthew 8: 5 – 11 “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully.” He said to him, “I will come and cure him.” The centurion...

Sometimes you can’t see it or feel it. Sometimes hope seems far away. Often the difficulties you face make it seem as if hope has abandoned you. But hope never leaves. It is always there, ready for you to embrace.

magical-creation asked: I thought Catholicism WAS a form of Christianity, just like Methodists, Baptists, etc. So why is there so much opposition between Catholics and Christians? Catholics are Christians, we all believe in the same God right? I guess I am confused as to why Catholics are singled out as "it's own thing".

Hope this message finds you well :) I noticed you are on the iwilltrustyou group and I love seeing you guys on my dash, you guys are so Christ-filled and I see the good that all of you do.
