My parish growing up in the suburbs of Chicago was one of the first parishes in the US to have a Perpetual Adoration Chapel. I remember the police department would comment on relative to the other towns in the area ours had significantly less crime, not that the others were terrible, but there was some gang activity, theft, and the like.

[@churcha1562]

Self-hatred is using the truths about a person's sin in their life to make a person hate themselves, to the point of believing they aren't worth saving. By this one, someone hearing of Christ's love while suffering in self loathing they will say, "Too bad, I've gone too far." Rather than accepting the gift freely offered.

You are an incredibly wise and joyful man, and it is a great pleasure to listen to you. The beard absolutely rocks as well. Lastly I would be humbled and honored to be in your prayers! Peace be upon you Fr. Boniface. God bless you as well Mr. Fradd!

Formation of children: pray with them. I've been going through a divorce which I have faith won't last. But we have four children. I pray with them all the time when they're with me. In the car. Morning, noon, and night. Pray with your kids. Not bragging, but my 8 year old asked me to pray the rosary in the car on the way home from basketball. I'll take that as a sign I'm doing something right. When your kids see you prioritize prayer, they will prioritize prayer. And that's what keeps the door open to God and a holy life.

@Matt Fradd Thank you for telling me this list of where Catholics are leading the way. Yes, it is very easy to get caught up in the negatives. I have been praying so hard for Fr. Carlos Martin. I met him just four days before this spiritual attack happened. I understand now why I was so completely driven to meet my patron, St. Judas Thaddeus, and am incredibly grateful that I listened to the call. Please keep Fr. Carlos in your prayers. And to Fr. Boniface Hicks, thank you. It is so good to see you here again. I would love to find a way to have you give a mission talk at St. Bridget Church in Loves Park, IL sometime.

[@christophersnaith6987]

Meekness is a great word. It's also an equestrian term, which helps us understand its meaning. They call it "meeking the horse". Which is to say, you're bringing the horse under control. When you think about the great power that is brought under control in a horse, then we begin to understand what it is to be meek. It's not that we aren't full of passion, or strength and power, but that in meekness, we bring that male virility under control, and we keep it in control even when it wants to run wild. We direct that passion, that strength, is such as way as to bring about the good. That's meekness.

[@jamesengesser1054]

Amen. I think of the passion as a fire that ment to bring Christ's light, joy and warmth into this world!

[@panes840]

@christophernaith6987 I understand your comparison to some extent, but tbvh bring a horse to meekness to control it is not a great analogy. The horse submits via fear!!! We humans make it submit by destroying its soul. It's actually rather horrid. But, because humans have done it for centuries, we see it as "normal." Terrible, really. Ww humans can't leave animals alone. Our cruelty is quite outstanding.

[@christophersnaith6987]

@@panes840 This is fanfic. Real equestrians love their horses, and take really great care of them. If meeking a horse is evil, as you suggest, then so is training any animal to do anything. Heck, so is disciplining children. It's pure nonsense.

[@brittybee6615]

Not a study Bible, but Robert Alter’s translation of the Hebrew Bible has tons of footnotes that are great if you want to understand the nuances of Hebrew that get lost in translation, which also helps to understand the stories better. Almost every line has a footnote discussing why it could be translated one way versus another. Also helps bring a lot of appreciation for the literary quality the original. It’s in three heavy volumes. If you don’t want to buy all three and aren’t familiar with how the Jews organized their cannon, just be aware it’s a little hard to guess which books would be in The Prophets versus The Writings. (For example, Kings is in Prophets, but Chronicles is in Writings.) I mostly use it for reference

[@user-mw1ln7dc1r]

I realize we all have referred to music of Jesus to Jesus as praise AND worship. Actually, it's ONLY praise. Worship is Sacrifice of the Mass of Jesus, the Lamb. Worship referring to singing and music is a Protestant reference, NOT a Catholic referrence. Music in the Catholic should not and cannot be referenced as worship, because it diminishes the importance of true worship od God though the sacrifice on the altar. Praise music does not at all equal Worship. The Israelites worshipped with sacrifice and we, Catholic Christians, worship with the Holy Sacrifice of Jesus :) Another one of those Protestant characteristics that infiltrated the Church.
