True?
Total abstinence is so excellent a thing that it cannot be carried to too great an extent. In my passion for it I even carry it so far as to totally abstain from total abstinence itself

Help create a Catholic Community that welcomes all God’s People, provides for & challenges spiritual & total growth
Reaches out to help people who are disadvantaged & make the world we live in a better place to live
Our true home is in the present moment. To live in the present moment is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the Green Earth in the present moment.
Ezekiel 37: Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and have you rise from them, O my people! Romans 8: If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit dwelling in you.
John 11: And when he had said this, He cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth.
