Wise Words On Wedesday: Catholics are Romantic

romantic

We believe that two people can fall in love and stay in love.

We believe that the biggest jerk can become the holiest person in our lives.

We believe that the lowly are the ones who will be raised, the downtrodden, the blessed, and the ones who are taken advantage of, justified.

We believe that joy changes lives.

That a piece of bread and a cup of wine transforms into the Body and Blood of Christ and consuming that Body and Blood will transform us.

We believe that we can step into a confessional a repentant sinner and walk out a forgiven son or daughter.

We are romantic

– Fr Ryan Mann

Wise Words on Wednesday: Being Happy In Heaven

Heaven

No man can possibly be happy in a place where he is not in his element and where all around him is not congenial to his tastes, habits, and character.

When an eagle is happy in an iron cage, when a sheep is happy in the water, when an owl is happy in the blaze of noonday sun, when a fish is happy on the dry land – then, and not till then, will I admit that the unsanctified man could be happy in heaven

– JC Ryle, Holiness, 1879
