Thanks Joe for your wonderful reflection. To my co- reader “Anonymous” the “frocked demons” you refer to above are our children, brothers and cousins as well. Do not be very hush on them as they also find themselves in temptations just like you and I. Remember Jesus Christ was also tempted by Satan himself. Let us be fair to them and pray for them to be strong so that they may not fall when tempted. Remember the more closer you are to God the more stronger your temptations are. God bless you

Yes indeed, remain trustful in Jesus Christ. But some distrust in the avenues of the Catholic church is not misplaced at this time. The most innocent among us (children) have been heinouslý hurt by frocked demons ordained by the church. The usual commentaries and actions are no longer satisfactory. At this time we nèed God’s blessing in some extraordinary fashion. I am praying for the god-sent Catholic reformist to stand up and stand out.

Well said Joe. The fundamentals, basics, habits, routines help improve us at any level. Our faith and the basics need to be solid as a rock then everything that comes after works out. I love this Catholic Moment. Thank you Joe

A great and timely reminder to “go back to the beginning” (one of the catchphrases from my favourite movie, The Princess Bride) when things begin to look wrong. I especially value your point that if you place your trust in humans, there’s always the chance you will be disappointed, but not so if you place all your trust in God.
