The Holy Trinity
Ever since Jesus, we Christians have taught, held to, and even died for the truth that God is three persons in one God.  He's both a unity and a Trinity.

 What's so important about it?

 Because it's central to the love that we're called to.  Consider this:

 We know that God is love, and true love isn't basically for oneself, but for another person. 

 We also know that before God created the universe, he had existed for all eternity.  So if God were only a unity, he would have existed for an infinity without anyone to love.

 But he is love and couldn't not love.

 So there must have eternally been more than one person before anything was created.  But only one God existed.

 God has revealed to us that, in fact, there have eternally been three persons in the one God.   

 And since God is love, and created us to love him back and love each other.

 So I suggest that, in honor of the Most Holy Trinity, that we:

 Do 
One
Kindness 
a 
Day

Such as
Thank your grocery worker
Buy the coffee of the next person in line
Have a heartfelt conversation
Just say hi
Be Creative!

Crisis: Persecuted Christians

      Few know the following about the number of Christians killed just for believing in Jesus.  During the last hundred years, the number exceeds the total of Christians killed in all the previous centuries combined --including the period of the Roman Empire.        Today a Christian is martyred for the faith every eleven minutes somewhere in the world.        A shocking 80% of Christians today live where they suffer some form of persecution--that is, not just being looked at funny or mocked, but jailed, denied employment or schooling, beaten,  home burned, or outright killed--just for naming the name of Jesus. +          +          +      Take India, for example.  Last month Kande Munda, a bricklayer, and his wife Bindu began to receive death threats.  Bindu's mother, not a Christian or part of the same community, came to visit...

Longing for  a Joy  That Is Complete “Although I have much to write to you, I do not intend to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and to speak face to face so that our joy may be complete.” (2 John 12) T he church has faced pandemics throughout the centuries.  But we’ve never had the ability to move certain aspects of corporate worship online.  Mater Dei is streaming Masses on TV, Facebook, YouTube, and its own website. W hen I watch, it’s always bittersweet. I THANK YOU, LORD W e can be grateful for the church's opportunity to use today’s technology.  After all, why should the Enemy’s voice be the only one on TV or online?  Pope St. John Paul II explained that technology can help us reach more people.  It is being used by the Lord in ways that we are still only beginning to understand.  Lives are being changed forever as a result of Christian blog posts.  Many sheep are being delivered from the deceitfuln...

Hope Because of God's Mercy! When we Christians talk about the hope inspired by God's mercy, we're not talking about something we have to create or invent.  We're talking about something that's a sure thing. The Apostle John tells us something important:       See what love the Father has bestowed on us, that we may be called the children of        God.  Yet so we are.  The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.        Beloved, we are God's children now.  What we will be has not yet been revealed.  We       know that when it is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is.  Everyone       who has this hope based on him makes himself pure, as he is pure.  (1John 3:1-3) "See what love the Father has bestowed on us"!  God's love, the love that led him to send his Son for us, is so great ...
