Christ's institution of the sacraments was a way for Him to continuously come to His faithful followers throughout the centuries and throughout their lives. The mysterious nature of this arrangement, of this institution was a feature of their confection.

freely and infinitely from its source in Jesus Christ. The flesh and blood of Christ is even more potent than the manna from heaven that is referred to in the Old Testament, more accessible to all and more transformative to human life. The practice of the Eucharist became the cornerstone of John’s community, and for Eucharistic communities throughout time because of the ongoing affirmation of the dependability and reality of Jesus’s love. Moloney also points out that… Continue Reading...
Supper that is given at Mass when the priest consecrates the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

a shield, and his hand exposed palm outward to reveal the stigmata that he possessed (the wounds of Jesus Christ from His crucifixion -- in this case, the wound of the nail in his palm). Francis's face is almost skull-like in its Byzantine fierceness -- it pronounces an otherworldly devotion that is made up of stark spiritual commitment. This is, the artist tells the viewer, not a soft man -- but a man who is hard as nails. Yet, at the same time, there is something friendly in the eyes, something humorous in the slightly upturned lips that suggest some of the mirth that Francis no doubt felt… Continue Reading...
determination in the mind to accept the doctrines of the Christian Church, which primarily teach that Jesus Christ is God and that the salvation comes by way of Christ and His Church. Next, the Faith is based upon the trust that the individual has in God according to the doctrines he has received: believing what he believes, he trusts God to save him. This is what is meant by “Now faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). Faith has a very real relational aspect to it because it does involve leaping from where one is now to… Continue Reading...

Jesus Christ is the Son of God; 2) He died on the Cross in reparation for the sins of world; 3) His sacrifice atoned for the sins of mankind and opened the gates of Heaven, which had been barred since the fall of Adam and Eve. The Christian Faith encompasses other teachings and doctrines as well, but these are the preeminent points that have a historical basis. 1 Peter 3:15 tells us to always be mindful of the reasons that we have such hope—such faith. We are not to forget… Continue Reading...

intentionally inflicted on a person” (Thistlethwaite, 2009). When Jesus Christ died for the sins of humanity, Jesus did so while enduring excruciating pain. This torture was justified in that, it was done to save humankind from Original Sin.
Therefore, to be a Christian is to suffer. Why would a terrorist escape this ‘extreme suffering’ in the eyes of some Christians? Henceforth, it makes sense that people according to their personalities and how they were raised, believe torture is part of life and torture can be used on those that present as a threat to their world (Remmel, 2016).… Continue Reading...
God is merciful and willing to forgive us if we adopt a new identity in Jesus Christ. Instead of seeking joy elsewhere, we can grow it right below our feet by walking a new path. This is to say that the only path that can lead us to happiness, confidence in all we do, and stability (marital or otherwise) is that of reuniting with our father in heaven. The book reminds us that unlike Christ, everything else we have in this world is short-lived. For this reason, focusing on the things of this world is likely to contaminate to our overall wellbeing. It is also… Continue Reading...
