Praise Divine Mercy!: A personal relationship with Jesus Christ
http://praisedivinemercy.blogspot.com/2008/03/this-reminds-me-of-prayer-by-st.html
Jesus, I trust in you! Friday, March 14, 2008. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Here is a prayer by St. Ambrose from a devotional in the Latin Missal. That line, "I ardently desire to have HIM as my Savior, whom I am unable to withstand as my Judge" strikes me to the very core. God by rights is our judge, but He has chosen to save us instead. To me this communicates most deeply the unconditional fatherly love with which He regards us. Often I feel five years old again when I talk to God. It Cam...

Jesus, I trust in you! Wednesday, November 11, 2009. A Favorite Poem of Mine. When fishes flew and forests walked. And figs grew upon thorn. Some moment when the moon was blood. Then surely I was born. With monstrous head and sickening cry. And ears like errant wings. The devil's walking parody. On all four-footed things. The tattered outlaw of the earth,. Of ancient crooked will;. Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,. I keep my secret still. For I also had my hour;. One far fierce hour and sweet:.

Praise Divine Mercy!: Psychology of Atheism
http://praisedivinemercy.blogspot.com/2008/03/one-of-most-jarring-accusations-by.html
Jesus, I trust in you! Tuesday, March 4, 2008. One of the most jarring accusations by atheists is that believers are suffering from some kind of delusion. Believers, they suggest, are merely looking for a comfortable father-figure. However NYU psychology professor Paul Vitz has a rather fascinating rebuttal to these accusations, entitled "The Psychology of Atheism.". March 6, 2008 at 11:47 AM. The argument to a great extent is a rebuttal to those atheists who claim a psychological cause for belief in God.

Praise Divine Mercy!: Martin Luther
http://praisedivinemercy.blogspot.com/2008/03/martin-luther.html
Jesus, I trust in you! Monday, March 3, 2008. Protestants claim they follow a "reformed" version of Christianity begun by Martin Luther. Yet Luther had the following to say:. We are compelled to concede to the Papists that they have the Word of GOD, that we received it from them, and that without them, we should have no knowledge of it at all.". Martin Luther, commentary on St. John. In his sermon of August 15, 1522, the last time Martin Luther preached on the Feast of the Assumption, he stated:. The tru...

Jesus, I trust in you! Sunday, January 28, 2007. Yes, I'm going to talk about LOVE. And it's not even St. Valentine's yet! Well not me really. But, these words ought to be passed on from time to time. Brothers and sisters: Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts. But I shall show you a still more excellent way. 1 Cor 12:31—13:13). The Bible is much more romantic. It even says "Husbands, listen to your wives."(Ephes. 5:25). Links to this post. Madames, Monsiuers, au revoir! That got me to thinking...

Praise Divine Mercy!: It liiiives!!!
http://praisedivinemercy.blogspot.com/2008/03/it-liiiives.html
Jesus, I trust in you! Sunday, March 2, 2008. Since Fr. Renzo. Was gracious enough to put a link to my blog when he started his a few months ago, I thought I might start updating again. I do confess I have been behind on reading his Trilogy, having decided to prioritize my booklist. When one gets in the middle of more than four books, something has to give). This blog seemed a bit pointless before, when the only one reading was my best friend, to whom I tell everything already. Jesus, I trust in you!

Jesus, I trust in you! Friday, February 16, 2007. The Cult of Death. Has a report on the renewed efforts to pass a law through the California Assembly allowing euthanasia. I wrote an essay on the subject in 2005, the first time they tried this. I'm posting it below. Perhaps some of my arguments and research may aid you. Does the “right to life” guaranteed by the Bill of Rights imply a right to die? However, can a rational person choose to die? 8220;Integrity refers to the ability to accept the facts of o...

Praise Divine Mercy!: On salvation...
http://praisedivinemercy.blogspot.com/2008/03/on-salvation.html
Jesus, I trust in you! Friday, March 14, 2008. The following is an old journal entry of mine I was reminded of recently. I think it might have some use to others. One often missed point in ecumenical discussions is that Catholics view salvation very, very differently. To be fair on that aspect, many Protestants will then say of such a person that such actions would indicate that they never were saved in the first place. How then, can ANYONE assume salvation? This brings back again to a problem of semanti...
