Kelly In LP — Correction. Catholicism is not a breakaway tribe. The Catholic Church is not a denomination. The Catholic Church is the original church.

As always Bob you relay inspiration and inner reflection. How can we be so laser focused on cooking, shopping, eating (and lets be honest- arguing) that we tend to overlook one of the worst situations befalling our Christian brothers and sisters around the world?

It seems all to often we concern ourselves with only OUR country, OUR neighborhood, OUR family, OUR religion.

No matter the denomination of a Christian sect, we all bow down to the one true King. We go by labels in today’s “check the box” world, and sadly, Christians are no different. We have Catholicism, Baptist, Episcopal etc…. We chose to break off into our own tribes so to speak, because we didn’t like certain rules. We think we know better!

Truth is, there are many roads that lead to the same destination, we all pick our own route, means of travel and we even started our own pace!

As Bob reminds us, TRUE Christians are being persecuted around the world as though we slipped into some demonic, backwards, black hole type time warp sending us all back 2 thousand years. You won’t see this in the A block of ANY major news cast or on a single front page in print around the globe. There is an occasional exception, but it is rare. We all want to know who wore what to whatever award thingy, right? Sigh… Anyway…

They are under attack and need our prayers more than ever. We are so lucky to live where we can worship in His sunlight! We can fall to our knees in joy or sorrow without worry of punishment or death! We truly are blessed beyond our earnings.

God Bless and help us ALL.

Nice reflection.

I was just wondering…your quote from Luke.

I understand that this world we live in will pass away. But Heaven will pass away? I thought we as Catholics have a goal to strive to be with our Father in Heaven?
