Our entire history shows that faithfulness, not calculations, wins in the end. This is the Battle of Lepanto for the Church in the U.S., and you need to decide if you’re going to trust Our Lord and Our Lady to win the victory for the Church or not. Some days, it’s like you’ve forgotten this. I get the whole “Well, I can’t do anything if I’m not here to do it!” thought, but the reality is “With God, all things are possible!” And they are far more possible when you are in the faithful majority. That’s everyone from the mom and dad struggling to survive this world and who are trying their best to keep their kids’ faith intact, to the already corrupted Nancy Pelosis and Joe Bidens of the world who do not have long to atone. If you don’t stand up for the Faith because you’re worried you will be rejected, flogged by the media, or removed from your post, what really is the point? You will have failed to protect the Eucharist and, with that, the faithful at large. Can you please make this the norm?! Without Eucharistic coherence, the Catholic Church in the U. Not only was it something, it was the Source and Summit of our Faith.įor once, the less than 25% of liberal but loud bishops who care more about their elite status than their flock, got a dose of reality. For once, it seemed faithful bishops actually cared about the Real Presence, their flocks, the lives of the unborn and stood up for something. Last spring, however, some of us actually got a dose of hope in the form of the Eucharistic Coherence debate. Quite honestly, though, most pew sitters don’t even know it’s happening. Most of us are thinking “Oh, joy.” since it’s usually a train wreck in the mind of those who pay attention to it. And every day, with the help of this song and the love in my heart, I continue to be brave until the day I'm holding my Puppy Face for eternity.We’re about to head into the Fall meeting of the USCCB. This song went from something I had never heard before to one of my favorites of all time. She wants me to be brave so that one day her and I will meet at the Rainbow bridge and walk across together. It was Minny's way of telling me she's ok, she's in a happy place and looking at me being so sad is hurting her as well. In one of the darkest moments of sheer sadness over the loss of my most beloved pet, two days after her death, 23 hours of crying, I hear this song and know like a gun it was pointed at my head. The coming out, for me, was the shell of sadness. Lou from Omaha, NeThe song might be for being brave in coming out, but it has a different meaning for me.When you see only one set of footprints, it was then When I need you most you would leave me."ĭuring your times of trial and suffering, "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest I noticed that many times along the path of my life I looked back at the footprints in the sand. When the last scene of my life flashed before me, One belonging to me, and the other to the Lord. This poem has really helped me and if you need it, it will linger with you forever: "Footsteps in the Sand"Īcross the sky flashed scenes from my life. You may not see him-you may not feel him, but he is there holding you every second. Just because you can't see or feel something doesn't mean that it isn't there: sometimes it is just waiting for us to find it completely before you can feel it with you all of the time. You may not feel him with you all of the time, but know that he is. God is with us through every breath you take, the easy times and definitely in the hard times. I just want to let you know that you are not alone. Then one of my friends at church prayed for me and with a lot of encouragement, I am almost back to the way I was before her death. I was the exact same way when I lost one of my friends October 2016.except with several months of crying and then it was the song "I won't let go" by rascal flats that helped me.well not really, but I heard it and it was the beginning of my healing.
