"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of God."

[@josephzammit8483]

Very good of you. Being poor in spirit is a great disposition to love God with all our life. And it is a great disposition to depart from here into eternity to enjoy the presence of the Most Holy Trinity face to face for ever. I’m publishing a weekly KZbin video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you

Always get so much out of your teachings and have been listening since your conversion. So in The Chosen we see this relapse happening with Mary Magdalene. I love the way we can learn the faith and love Jesus through many many avenues! The gospels are the gold mine. God bless you. 💟

Yeah, Thanks a lot! HE’s teaching us that right now in this country. HE’s teaching me twice; I’m Cuban. Apparently I didn’t get it the first time around.

I was pondering a passage of Brideshead Revisited in which the Mother (a strong believer) tells the agnostic friend of her son's, (reflecting on Matt: 19:24) - saying, "But of course, it's very unexpected for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, but the gospel is simply a catalogue of unexpected things. It's not to be expected that an ox and an ass should worship at the crib. Animals are always doing the oddest things in the lives of the saints". I often think about this and wonder....

I mentioned the passage about "Who can be saved" on Saturday. And here it is in the readings. Message received.

[@MrPeach1]

@@tony1685 that is the Holy Spirit right there! I was in church on a Saturday helping with a men's retreat. Guess what I talked about? Justin Martyr! He actually explains in 150AD why they meet on Sunday in his first Apology. They meet on Sunday because it is the day God created the universe and because it was the day Jesus choose to resurrect from the dead.

[@MrPeach1]

@@tony1685 The day Jesus was raised from the dead is that start of the new AGE. So we celebrate that over the old Covenant day. Since we are partakers of the New covenant.

[@MrPeach1]

@@tony1685 its no folly Justin Martyr and the rest of the real Christians celebrated on Sunday. The church has the authority to make it so. If you can't understand why we would celebrate on the day Jesus rose and not the day Jesus lay in repose all day then I don't know what to tell you. It seems pretty obvious to me. Why don't you go look for early church leaders that rebuke Justin Martyr for his claims about Sunday worship.

[@emmanuel_litunya]

@tony Isaiah 66:23 From new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, says the Lord. As you have referenced shows that worship in Heaven is perpetual not just on a particular day. You judge Catholics based on Sabbath observance which should not be and St Paul gives a wonderful response to your arguments in Romans 14:4-6 and Colossians 2:16-17. Saturday or Sunday observance should really not be the point of your argument against the Catholic Church as our Lord Jesus Christ says that Sabbath was made for man not man for the Sabbath that the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath Mark 2:27-28

[@MrPeach1]

@@emmanuel_litunya I hadn't read that Romans verse before it really does hit us with the hammer of charity doesn't it. It is also a charity I don't feel when I read tony's messages to me.

At 5:34, as if Jesus claims to be ..God(Mat 19:17)? O Boy, I read and meditate and H.Spirit( received at Baptism) teaches me to what to do with sectarians who claim Jesus is God: if the Word (of argument) does no work on must use Sword and Fire to destroy the Temple and such Preachers. I must do it in order to be obedient to the voice of H.Spirit- it takes me few hours to get to your address and fulfil the unique Noble Mission; ps. The Zondervan NT Greek Eng.Interlinear (by W.D.Mounce),2008, has a different translation of Lord's Prayer "Our Father.."in Matthew and Luke regarding GR."peraismos", translated once as "trial" and the other as "temptation"(only one is true!) My email question to the Author has been without a response (of course, two different "scholars" translate it differently!). Yet, only a Sword will teach you the truth

[@streetmonk001]

No. It's to deny oneself of all physical goods in order to better seek Spiritual rewards...eternal joy for our Lord had no place to lay his head on. Our Lord possessed nothing but the will of the Father

[@josephpack7315]

Anybody else notice it’s always the most comfortable, well off people preaching this junk to the rest of us?
