POPE FRANCIS' FIRST HOMILY - MARCH 14, 2013
First public pastoral message from the new Pope Francis to the Cardinals who elected him, and consequently to the entire Church. It is worth noting that the Holy Father was not reading. He was speaking extemporaneously, without any prepared text.
Iam in love. Francis, melts us down like the candles on the altar slow, gentle with a light of burning desire. Praise Jesus and God the father through our Mother that grace has been given to us through Francis.

Statement from EWTN regarding Father Benedict Groeschel:

Statement of Michael P. Warsaw, President and Chief Executive Officer of EWTN Global Catholic Network regarding Father Benedict Groeschel:
To regular viewers of EWTN, it has been evident for some time that Father Benedict's health has been declining. For more than a year, the Network has been in discussions with both Father and his Community about his capacity to continue hosting Sunday Night Prime.
This is the reason that the program moved from a live to a pre-recorded format last year.
In more recent months Father Benedict’s decline has accelerated.
After consultation with EWTN and the Community of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, Father Benedict has decided that it is now time to step away from the program.
The Sunday Night Prime program will continue and will be hosted by other priests of the CFR community.

He's such a hand given blessing from God. He will be in all my offerings. Give glory to god for creating such a beautiful soul.
The One True Faith : The Church Fathers.

Michael, Humble thyself in front of the Lord , let your audience be as Jesus alone. Let us build the Holy Catholic Church by words of hope love and joy. We all fall short of perfection and spiritual direction humanity was built weak to feed off of our Lord, God created man not man himself. We are of a weak humanity not strong this is why God intervenes every day through grace and saints approved as St. Faustina as the mercyful father because he only knows children make mistakes. His mercy is endless and uncomprehendable human minds cannot perceive it. Let us obtain grace through a silent intrerior prayer life for Mother church. We are all one family supporting each other and ready to forgive our brothers as they fall. Let God alone judge and let our limited human minds stop at judging as we all fall short of holyness. Always forgive and forget we cannot understand the spirit world no human has ever until death. When we are at peace with our little self that peace penetrates to others and others gain hope and love. Be heartsmart, and let the mind and mouth give words of love. Praying for the world, Save souls, save souls save souls.
In the Bread and in the Word.
St. Josemaria gives some practical advice on how to grow in friendship with our Lord.
The Eucharist

And he took bread, and when he had given thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.” And likewise the cup after supper, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.” (Lk 22:19-20).
Think of the human experience of two people who love each other, and yet are forced to part. They would like to stay together forever, but duty – in one form or another – forces them to separate. They are unable to fulfill their desire of remaining close to each other, so man’s love – which, great as it may be, is limited – seeks a symbolic gesture. People who make their farewells exchange gifts or perhaps a photograph with a dedication so ardent that it seems almost enough to burn that piece of paper. They can do no more, because a creature’s power is …
How peacfully lovely the spirit comes right through his messages and enters and grows in the listening soul just like the living word of God.
...Paying priests accused of abuse to leave
Cardinal Timothy Dolan paid off priests who had been accused of sexually abusing minors suggest that the prominent Catholic leader was willing to overlook these very same religious convictions to help colleagues accused of egregious wrong doing. The documents, obtained by the New York Times, also show that Dolan lied to reporters when he initially dismissed news of the payments as “false, preposterous and unjust”: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York authorized payments of as much as $20,000 to sexually abusive priests as an incentive for them to agree to dismissal from the priesthood when he was the archbishop of Milwaukee. [...]
But a document unearthed during bankruptcy proceedings for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and made public by victims’ advocates reveals that the archdiocese did make such payments to multiple accused priests to encourage them to seek dismissal, thereby allowing the church to remove them from the payroll.

Let us keep in silence and bring all things to prayer and God. Priest are the extentions of Jesus there faults are Gods dealings alone. Anyone accused will be fully investigated with accurate information and still the outcome which it be, is for Gods mercy. We have to hold our church together and not divide it through gossip or pointing the finger at our leaders, the media does enough of damaging our church when the full truth is not being clear. We must examine our own desires of reason as to expose or damage through words our church by stories or news and give every situation to the lord. Lord forgive us all we are just poor wretched sinners please except our prayers of mercy and hope for graces and your kingdom to arise here now, in the moment. Amen to all.
My Beloved.
Belonging to the King, we rest in His Glorious Love, longing for the day, we behold Face to face.
Breathtaking......Let me service for your will alone my Jesus my Lord....

Lift the City - a Catholic Eucharistic flash mob.
A Eucharistic flash mob in the centre of Preston, organised by the Capuchin Franciscans on Ascension Thursday 2011.
A small team of Catholic evangelists mingled with the crowd to hand out cards and explain what was going on. Here are some of the reactions....
"What is this about? What is happening? What is this about?"
One young girl said: "I've not seen anything like this since Church."
"Are they doing this all day? ... Will they be doing it again? ... Are they doing this any where else?"
Two young women asked: "Why does God allow hurt and pain in the world?" They agreed it was not God's fault but ours. Then they asked: "Why doesn't Jesus come again?" We explained that He is here in the form of bread, but would come again and we invited them to think about Him now.
"Is it religious? What is inside that thing?"
A man said: "What is that guy doing?" An old woman with him replied: "That's Jesus. Show respect."
"This is so moving! It is the …
