Though I go to church every week I sometimes mouth the words without praying them in my heart. Thanks for such an inspiring message and the reminder to live in the moment with Christ. FYI, I've lived in 2 large cities but never felt the need to carry a gun.

Millions of faithful Jews were marched off to death camps in WW2. Little David had to kill a giant with his gun of the day. God save us from this madness on earth.

Unfortunately, I do meet some Catholics who have that same 2nd Amendment "my rights, my gun" attitude. I have to conclude that they probably need more formation about what our faith calls us to on this count. <br /><br />How one can listen to the Gospel at Mass, pray in the General Intercessions prayers for peace and tolerance, receive the Lord in the Eucharist (and hope in doing so to become more like Him) but still cling to worldly attitudes that contradict that just shows that we are indeed a Church filled with people at every stage on the faith journey and a people who need to be conscious of our sinful impulses when they conflict with the teachings of Jesus.<br /><br />Welcome back, Sam - and blessings!<br /><br />jdonliturgyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729552755992633453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747077806405542777.post-4881715877961286792013-02-09T03:53:12.072-06:002013-02-09T03:53:12.072-06:00I am a Catholic on my journey back.

I was constantly disheartened by the aggressive 2nd amendment / gun rights attitude and expressions of intolerance that came out of the same well as "born again" and "filled with the Spirit." <br /><br />Something just didn't sit right. Of course, this is not to say that there were not others who were wonderfully spiritual. However, protestant church liturgy generally comes nowhere close to articulating the Embolism Prayer that your piece so wondrously celebrated. Now I know why my heart would be strangely uplifted every time I joined this congregation prayer!<br /><br />SamDr. Sam Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03699215259459992784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747077806405542777.post-53205879382340143542011-09-20T11:12:56.529-05:002011-09-20T11:12:56.529-05:00That's real faith in action!

You've given me something to think about in terms of how I view what I say in relation to how I live. <br /><br />Great stuff, thanks!Marc Cardaronellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608322942508691673noreply@blogger.com
