I read what he says on Catholic websites–such as this one. Typically, I end up following it right back to the source. It is usually quoted properly. I wait for the Vatican ‘spin’ and that is almost always saying that we all don’t ‘understand’ what he said; and here’s the REAL translation…he deserves the criticism and you can’t make butter from tar. He was born and raised a socialist; and he spends too much time on U.S. politics. Lastly, he has total buy-in to the liberal lying media here as well. I’m not buying what you’re selling today. We need to call him out at times; no man or priest on earth is infallible or immune from criticism from his flock. I believe in our faith and Jesus–what does Francis believe? Clearly he has deep issues with many Catholic beliefs and doctrine. He’s not being misunderstood in most cases
Let him answer for himself. His big mouth is his worst enemy.

It gives us a wonderful lesson “about taking everything to God in prayer” as Hezekiah did. He did not boast of the strength of his army but saw the answer was with God and even spread the letter for God to read showing his strong belief in God. May God strengthen our faith.
God bless you Bob for your good works.

You bring up many subjects in your reflection today. I will briefly focus on your last line.

I wonder if Matthew was familiar with Ecclesiastes, verse 14 of today’s Gospel reading sure has hints of it. Few will choose the narrow gate. Chances are against you. So why even bother trying?

Mark

Last week my brother tried to commit suicide. Now I see the family as being devided about next steps. Lots of useless conversations about who is doing what right/wrong.

Thank you for this today.

Thank you for your words today. They are so on point. I have been praying constantly, but I admit I do get sucked in to the division and immediately feel terrible. I pray we can all see the only way to get to see the truth is to rely 100% on God’s plan through prayer.
