Just like we need to love the sinner and hate the sin, so must we separate the truth of the Catholic Church handed down from Christ from the fallen members (including leaders) that have compromised that truth. It is important to learn what the Church teaches so that what people “think” The Church teaches doesn’t get in the way of what Is the truth. I am beyond grateful everyday that I can truly receive the body and blood of the same Jesus that died for me. AMAZING!

Thank you, Jackie. Love Coffee and Covid, but I wish people would do some more research on what the Church actually teaches. Those who left truly do not know what they rejected, or they never would have done so.

Yes and this can be proven out by the many Protestant and formerly anti-Catholic people that on seeking the truth, end up in the Catholic faith.

Amen, sister! So well said. I need all the grace that’s available 🙏🏻 Can we commune with God on our own? Of course! But we live by our senses, and the same way Jesus used mud and spit to heal the blind man when he could have easily just said “be healed,” illustrates that we need concrete expressions of God’s presence. Receiving Holy Eucharist is life-changing!

Not only that, it’s BIBLICAL! Matt 26: 26-29

Amen. The Lord, in the Eucharist, was my lifesaver during covid. I found a TLM Church that did not close down, did not require masks and were honestly practicing their faith. I found myself back in the Faith of my Fathers.

I thank God each day.
