Our mission is to live and defend the faith given to us by Jesus Christ by remaining totally and completely obedient to the teaching authority of His Church. We encourage dialogue between people of all faiths and recognize that we are all striving for holiness.
We feel that it is of primary importance to promote and adore His Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist, develop a habit of prayer, and work for a renewal of reverence in the Sacred Mass, which will help us all in our journey to grow closer to Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
We recognize that we are in a constant battle of good vs evil, and ask for the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary and all the Saints in Heaven for a removal of pride and an increase in humility, with our ultimate goal being sainthood.
I failed. As I was thinking of a topic for this blog entry, I started to think about my camping trip over the weekend. Me and the fam went to lake Murray Oklahoma, where a fun time was had by all.
I say that I failed, because it would have been a perfect opportunity for me to lead by example, and display a devout Catholic faith to a few of my extended family members who haven't been to mass in awhile.
Sure, we had a few conversations about church teaching here and there, made fun of the Presbertyerian who came along for the ride, and went zombie hunting in the forest (to show how pro-life we were), but that was about it. Not once did I lead grace before meals, or say a prayer with the group.
Maybe to display a devout Catholic faith, one must actually have a devout Catholic faith? This is something that I am working on. Lesson learned. I have to do better next time. I will.
