“Up to this time, how many future Saints did you speak with, work with, go to school with, have solid friendships with, or merely pass by? How would you determine a future Saint? How would you judge a man’s behavior in reference to his possible Sainthood? Would you judge him on how much work he does, how smart he is, how he carries on with his responsibilities, how talented he is, how successful he is in the eyes of others? Or would you say that Sainthood could be recognized by the obvious extreme purity a man or woman would show in their speech,…
View Entire TeachingSo many of the men in Holy Mother Church have become lax, not relaxed. It is difficult for anyone to truly be relaxed under the strain of conflicting values, conflicting standards, multiple changes in procedures, and the confusion in the example being displayed. Granted, all organizations, religious, commercial or social, have in-house problems, difficulties, executive differences, and at times, a strained atmosphere due to personality conflicts and personal values and standards. At no time is any organization totally free of not needing overseeing to protect the stability, the integrity and the dignity of the organization. For two thousand years Holy…

The Gift of Faith, to understand, to be able to comprehend the facets of Faith, is more than a Treasure, truly more than a Gift. It is a Special Favor granted by God…
View Entire TeachingWhat do I owe God? For some, this would be difficult to answer, only because of their own self-love, their ego, their inability to realize that they are a beautiful facet of Gods Charity and Love. God instilled within each human being a will, each mans line of decision, but oftentimes, the reality of this will is misunderstood, and in taking it for granted, omits the responsibility of this will to respond to the Will of God. It is truly the will of man that determines what he believes in, what he values his Faith on, and in what manner…

View Entire Teaching“They say, ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder’. In many ways, this is a ridiculous statement. ‘Out of sight, out of mind’ is more apt to be the case. Our Soul, not being able to be seen by us, is at a great disadvantage, but our Faith in God instills within us the true presence of our Soul. It is our Soul’s love for God, and God’s for our Soul that we feel, without knowing what we feel, but It is That Part of us that recognizes our need for God in our whole life. Human weaknesses are oftentimes, many…
View Entire TeachingIt is very difficult for men to realize that many times their actions, their words, their opinions are imitated by those they meet, those they live with, those they work with, and sometimes, even those they are only socially associated with. People forget that they have a great responsibility when they project their personality. It is obvious in the entertainment world that imitation is carried on down through many stages of comedy, drama and music. Children imitate each other, their parents, their friends, and everything they see, also clothing, social activities, vocations, habits, and even Spiritual endeavors. Today, what example…
View Entire Teaching“Men deem it a great tragedy when they go bankrupt financially. Somehow they do not see a great tragedy in their Souls being bankrupt in purity and morality. The Soul is That Part of us that belongs to God. The Soul is That Part of us that we must return to God. We are the custodian of It, and it is our Soul that will reap the reward we earn for It while we are alive upon the earth. Our Soul reflects everything we are: Our thoughts, our words, our meanings, Our actions, our involvements, Our standards, our values, Our…
View Entire Teaching“Sports, work, entertainment, family life, talents, war, are all subjects with lengthy detail, subjects constantly before us, entwining our past, our present and our future. These subjects place us in different places, doing specific things, utilizing our abilities, promoting our conscious actions to attain specific goals. Men rarely look at themselves as having to do with so many things, in so many ways, for so many reasons, with so much purpose for the good of themselves, and the good of, perhaps many others’ lives. There is so much to life. There is so much to do. There is so much…
View Entire Teaching“Constructive criticism has many aspects to it. Criticism in itself can be an unhealthy situation when the criticism reflects only self-opinion, self-importance, self-love, ego, or insensitivity to others personally or their private business. Sometimes people make the great mistake thinking that their criticism is necessary for others to see things correctly. This type of criticism has only self-opinion in it, and shows the critic as full of self-importance, self-righteousness. There are many fields of vocation wherein people feel justified in criticizing every aspect of others’ lives; the news media, not always correct, but determined to make others feel that their…
View Entire Teaching“There is a devil. Every time anyone commits a sin, it pleases him. His hate for man, his hate for God, his jealousy of God, his jealousy of man, is indescribable. His greatest enemy is the Ten Commandments, for when These are upheld by man, it means that fewer sins are being committed against God. It is important to understand the hate of satan for anything good. It is important to realize that pure thoughts, pure actions, pure deeds, are God’s Will for man, from man, through man, in man, for nothing can enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless it…
View Entire TeachingHave you ever thought about yourself having a false standard? First of all, many people, in not facing truth, accept falseness in every form of life, every department of life, substituting an artificial approach, response, causing great insincerity in their very presence, promoting artificiality in all their associations with other people. Sometimes this false attitude appears in vanity form, ego form, boastfulness, bullying, boisterousness, brashness, covering up a deep, insecure, emotional instability. Sometimes aggressiveness covers a false pretense of knowing all about something, when in reality, this is only a facade of understanding. Facing the Ten Commandments in how God…

View Entire TeachingMen thirst for knowledge. Men hunger for a closeness to God, yet men do not always take advantage of the opportunity to learn what is available, and many times do not utilize to the fullest, the Faith they have been endowed with to grow in a manner God wants each of them. Men become lethargic when they do not see signs of growth. A wise man instinctively knows that Spiritual growth is based on a sincere desire to want to grow in the warmth that beginning to know God a little more brings. Many times a man feels cold spiritually,…
View Entire Teaching“Sarcasm reflects bitterness, dislike, ego, superiority, and envelops a lack of respect, a lack of sincerity, a lack of understanding, showing a deep personal expression of inferiority. Sarcasm, oftentimes in its belittling attempt, not only promotes hard feelings between two people, but it forfeits the rights of the one who is being cut down by the lack of charity that sarcasm administers. Taking the time to do things right, to do things in a thorough manner so they will accomplish what they were set out to do, is important in every man’s life. A lawn partly mowed is a tremendous…
View Entire TeachingBeing a man in the sense of gender gives this way of life a particular code of ethics. It says protector, provider, son, father. These are specifics that go with being a man. There are many responsibilities in being a man. One is to be a leader for what is good, what is proper, what is right, what is sound. Being a man also says striving for a specific vocation to be used to carry out specific responsibilities as a man. It does not say that weakness is not allowed, or that immoralities are expected. By no means does it…
View Entire TeachingThe Soul is not a phantom but reality. The Soul is a Spirit of God given to each man, woman and child, to be returned to God for All Eternity. The Soul earns Heaven through the rewards obtained by the results of human behavior, intentions, actions, values, standards, and Spiritual growth. By nature, men do not like to be subject to other mens wills, for innately, each man desires to act independently and be the master of his own thoughts, words, actions and deeds. Each mans Soul is the victor or victim of mans will, because of the decisions that…
View Entire TeachingWe shudder at the historical barbarism we read about or that we see in movies, depicting the culture of certain times in History. The very presence of inhuman brutality makes us cringe with horror for such an episode in human life for anyone to endure. Paganism has a certain amount of barbarism in it. It, too, closes out reality, spirituality, sensitiveness to the One True God. Barbarity, paganism, not only occurred in past History, but in our present time there are evidences of these things. Abortion is a barbaric act. Incest can be included here. Child beating, wife beating, husband…
View Entire TeachingEgo, vanity, are traits and habits that bring weakness to a relationship, to a vocation, to a family, and in many ways, destroy what they touch. Ego stresses self-love, self-behavior, self-indulgence, self-opinion, self-importance. Vanity says, I, I, I, I. On top of this, it says, me, me, me, mine. With the sound logic of reality, seeing what ego and vanity truly are, obsessions with ones own self, would it not be classified wisdom to erase either of these from our personality, our nature, our manner of speech, or what we base anything upon in our whole structure of abilities, capabilities,…
