The word cripple is many times a word to fear and of fear because it denotes and bespeaks inability to function in a healthy or effective manner. In reality, to become a cripple is sometimes self-inflicted by ones own lack of self-control or self-discipline and/or self-confidence. The word cripple can be directed or meant to emphasize a persons lack of moral strength, a neglect to performing obligations, or rejecting responsibility, allowing any one of these behavioral patterns to cripple relationships, necessities of life, and/or omitting sound values and sound standards to permit hope, charity, responsibility to be the guiding factor…

There are many good, sound, and favorable aspects to self-love, as well as selfishness, egoism and self-indulgence. The full definition that could be applied to self-love has an unlimited source of personal attentions and gainful attempts. Love for the family has many diversifications, and in its total meaning covers a multiple of human traits, human inhibitions, human protective reasonings, human needs, human determinations on just what love for family should show, should direct, and what should result from it. Love for friends can be a responsive love of association, for association, a need for understanding and communication, a reliability upon…

Loyalty should have no price tag, just response to responsibility. Loyalty should be more than a virtue. It should be a form of reliability that is expected and respected where duty, obligation and service are the objects of sincere participation and/or involvement. Truth, Charity, Loyalty, Dignity, Kindness, Genteelness, Hope, Mercy, Justice and Love, not only encourage the same response, but each of these acts, actions and/or example, leave a mark on the giver and the receiver that speaks out loud the real meaning of Christianity in Action. These virtues, practices of imitating the Direction, Guidance and Teaching of Our Lord…

Such personal traits as greed, lust, gluttony, brutality, pessimism, negativism, are made in reference to some peoples character, behavior, mannerisms and social habits. Each of these traits or behavioral patterns shows a lack of self-discipline, a lack of ethics, a lack of caring what other people see, a lack of self-control, and a lack of moral obligation to other peoples likes and dislikes. Greed comes in many forms and in many ways, for many reasons and in many areas of life. It demonstrates selfishness, possessiveness, insecurity and disregard for charity or good manners. Gluttony is not directed only to ones…

How often have you acted on impulse? Have you ever regretted this type of action? What does impulse mean to you: a quick thought, a quick action without thought, or a time when you felt a quick desire to do something out of your daily routine, out of your norm of habits? Have many of your impulsive actions been directed to Spiritual things such as times of prayer, times of service to God through sacrifices, times of penance in reparation for failure in obedience to Gods Ten Commandments? Have your impulsive moments been restricted to self-indulgence, greed, lust, anger, permissiveness,…

Most men respect a formal notice that requests a service, a departure, or some form of information. To notice means to be alerted to a particular situation, person, or thing. Notice the full meaning intended by God in the Ten Commandments. Notice the purpose of These Commands. Notice the full meaning They suggest, They combine, They make issue of. Notice your interpretation of Them, your attention to Them and your practice of Them. Notice the justice in Them. Notice the moral value to Them and in Them. Notice how each one is attached to a way of your thoughts, actions…

How would the young people of today define a hero? Where would they start in their analysis, their description, their outstanding qualifications by which they would arrive at such a definition? Would the hero of their description come from an immediate fad based on violence, immaturity, permissiveness, promiscuity, drugs, or even the hard luck story of someone who fell to the depths of degradation and found their way back to a somewhat normal existence? What trappings would they dress their hero in: gaudy, vulgar, sensual, sadistic? What emphasis would they put on the persons, the heros behavioral pattern of life?…

A security blanket is often thought of in connection to and with a very small childs way of holding something that has a comforting effect to the childs daily life. Now what this security blanket fully means differs with each child who experiences this habit. Some children suck their thumb. Some children pinch other children. Some children use the security blanket or some other outward sign that shows some form of the childs inability to stand alone or without attention from someone else. Some people whine and get attention through this form of speech. Some people are boisterous, some are…

Parasites are known for their living off of other things. Parasites draw to sustain themselves. Throughout the world there are many types of parasites. Some draw so much from whomever or whatever they attach themselves that they can kill physically, mentally or monetarily, if they are allowed to stay in a given area too long. Parasites thrive on what they gain from other people or other things. In our society today we have many types of parasites. Some eat at the morality of other individuals, some thrive on monetary gain through debilitating sources that penetrate the weaknesses of human beings.…

Many men and women, even children can be obsessed by the profile of their face. They can feel it compliments them, or they can feel it is not attractive and does not appeal to other people. Vanity and ego are part of mans feelings about his or her own profile. There are other types of profiles more important than the profile of ones face. It can be called a personal profile of ones daily living, practices, habits, behavior, and results of all daily actions, thoughts, words and deeds. Look at the profiles of todays events. Did they show, express, or…

"FIDELITY"

The word fidelity is a commonplace word in our day, mostly referring to sound. Fidelity in morals is almost rarely referred to or adhered to. Fidelity to most people is archaic in respect to the responsibility it bears in human relationships. Fidelity should be spoken of more, and should be spoken about for its worth in human relationships. Pandemonium in permissiveness, promiscuity, immorality, indecencies, immodesty, impurities, has totally eliminated fidelity in marriage and human relationships. Infidelity is a mockery because infidelity is totally against what God intended fidelity to mean. Needless to say, such offensive behavior to God and to…

If a ceremony is merely a symbolic ceremony then it loses authenticity and only represents or typifies a subject. The Cross to us is a symbol of Christianity. A symbol is a conventional sign of some object or idea. When Christ handed to the Apostles and others who were there, the Bread and Wine symbolizing the human elements of His Body and Blood, this Act was more than a symbolic gesture on His Part. As God, He instilled, not just implied, that this Act of Faith was bound to Him through the Sacrifice of His Human Life for our salvation.…

Im tempted by everything. It just seems as though at the slightest suggestion, whether verbal or visual, I feel vulnerable and most times fall into participation. Physically, mentally or verbally I have made many justifications for my behavior, even though I inwardly know that impurity of any kind is contemptible to God. Through the ages, through all time, we understand that men of all races, all colors, all creeds could be identified to the exact behavior of our time. Logic should tell us that even though History repeats itself where mans behavior, habits and failings are totally against Gods Will…

"MISPLACED FAITH, MISDIRECTED FAITH"

Roman Catholics are themselves destroying piece by piece Gods Church. How are they doing this? Roman Catholics all through time have based their Faith in God primarily on their faith in the clergy of the Church. Clerical opinion was law. The power in this clerical opinion had many defects because the clerical people of the Church were mere men and women, vulnerable to opinions, self-determinations, ego, and the authority and power of their vocation of life. Roman Catholics based their Faith in God on what they were told by the religious oriented administrators throughout the entire Organization. Let us look…

“A little Light, a small Fire, a simple Act of Faith; Light to see, Light to draw attention, Light to communicate, Light to write, Light for guidance; a little Fire to keep warm, to cook food; ‘Thank You, God, for the Gift of Light, the Gift of Fire, for when it is used for right, for good, it has so much purpose, so much reasoning, so much help to our physical existence.’ The Light of the Moon we look forward to. The Light and Heat of the Sun we need. A little Votive Light speaks out loud, in so many…

"RENEWAL"

The word renewal is being used to alert Roman Catholics to situations that will generate more Protestantism than Roman Catholicism. The method by which this renewal program is based upon has all the signs of people becoming more dependent upon hearing another persons emotional experience, or even unemotional feelings about their religious hopes, experiences or motives. All the words in the world, all the simplicity in which they project this program, all the enthusiasm that can be mustered up to encourage small groups, large groups, leadership groups, say Protestantism, not Roman Catholicism. There is no doubt that many people find…

"LENT - A NEW BEGINNING"

“I’LL START WITH AN HONEST APPRAISAL OF MYSELF” “AN HONEST APPRAISAL OF MYSELF” “Am I a Just man, or am I just a man? Am I domineering? If so, then I am insecure. Am I inconsiderate? If so, then I am insensitive to the feelings or needs of others. Am I immature? If so, then I lack wisdom.” “AM I A HOMOSEXUAL?” “If so, then I am acting against God’s Purpose for man, Procreation; and committing impure actions against the basic nature of Reasoning for How and Why God created man and woman. The large number of gay people in…

"WHY MUST I PREPARE FOR HOLY MASS?"

Holy Mass is really a formal congregation, one in which order, teaching, reason, understanding, obligation, and our Faith in God is practiced and strengthened. Attending Holy Mass should not solely mean to be fulfilling an obligation, but a time to reaffirm ones Faith in God, by first entering the church respectfully, humbly, quietly, genuflecting out of Honor to The Supreme Being of All Things. The Sign of The Cross says there is recognition of His Presence, His Sacrifice that made this opportunity possible. All distractions should be ignored. Nothing should be allowed to supersede or disturb our intentions and Honor…

"SODOM AND GOMORRAH II?"

“We live in what men call ‘civilized times’, yet there are happenings, occurrences and events that make one wonder what people in our time refer to or consider civilized. The pernicious effect that drugs, pornography, abortion, permissiveness, cults, alcohol and homosexuality are having on so many people, must certainly be recognized as a breaking down of logical moral values and sound moral standards, in spite of what men think that they live in: a civilized world. On top of all the obvious pernicious dangers, desecrations and destructiveness, there are many underlying demonic gestures, entertainments, and indulgences, that on the surface…

“Dear God, I know I cannot mail this letter to You through ordinary means that I am used to, but I know that You will see and hear through the words I write, my thoughts are clear. Often when I pray I wander, because I do not see Your Presence there. I sometimes worry that because I wander in my words, You might stop listening, waiting for me to concentrate more on what I’m saying to You. Please God, I want You to know, that though my thoughts, my prayers seem to wander, my sincerity and love is truly there.…
