"That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father."

(DRV, Philippians 2:10ff)

*Only the Roman Catholic faith contains all of the revealed truths about God - who He is and subsequently, who we are in relation to Him! Only the Roman Catholic faith gives you complete access to God's grace, RIGHT NOW through the sacraments instituted by Jesus Christ! Deepen your union with God today through His one, true Roman Catholic Church! (see details below). If you're already Catholic deepen your theological knowledge about the one, true faith  and become an effective evangelist - peruse our website and learn about our services!

CES encourages you to "...be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good, and acceptable and perfect" (Romans 12:2b). (We are a private, independent  evangelization source NOT affliliated with - nor sponsored by - any Catholic Diocese)

Committed to Communion with the Blessed Trinity and Undivided Unity in the one true Roman Catholic faith, CES provides authentic catholic theological instruction to build up Catholic parishes and groups. Always obedient to the sacred Magisterium, our goal is to build up the Church of our beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and to bring all souls into commited union with God! We give all glory (only) to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, our heavenly, Almighty Father, and our Comforter, the Holy Spirit: the Most Blessed Trinity and Undivided Unity who alone is Lord! We do so lovingly through the intercession of the highest of all created beings, the Ever Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ's humanity!

 Being in a

state of grace is an obligation, not an ideal! 

 The way to attain a state of grace, maintain it, and grow in virtue is as follows:

*(The Catholic Evangelization Society strongly recommends you read St. Francis DeSales' book "An Introduction to the Devout Life" as you embark on your journey to holiness!)

1. To gain a state of grace, first ask our Heavenly Father in the name of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ for the desire to attain a state of grace and remain in it. Ask God for the grace (His undeserved gifts and help) to recognize sin and to stop sinning mortally! This requires that you hate all mortal sin (see the third section of the Catechism of the Catholic Church), change the way you think, and practice self-discipline. Remember, every moral response to temptation contains a divine and human element - God's grace and our willful acceptance of it. The key is to cooperate with God's grace, to do His will, not yours.

 2. Contact a devout local priest and schedule a time to make a good general confession. If you're not Catholic, ask him how you can become a member of the Catholic Church (see "Restore Your Union..." to the right). Ask the Holy Spirit to help you recall all of your past grave or mortal sins. To determine what sins were mortal in your past, pick up a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and look up Mortal sins under the title "Sin."

Remember, every priest has heard every kind of sin so have no fear of going to confession. Tell the priest you're making a general confession after having been away from the Church a long time and hence,  need his assistance. He'll help you through your confession.

3. After your confession, commit yourself to ATTEND MASS DAILY and train yourself to shun and hate all mortal sin and speak well of all virtues! See people as precious temples of God - His sons and daughters - not objects to be used for pleasure or monetary gain! Ask God to give you the gift of the "mind of Christ Jesus" - to think as He thinks! *Remember, love - practice charity toward - all people just hate sinful actions (hate the sin, love the sinner).

 4. Purge yourself from all affection for mortal sin:

*Start by reading/performing the meditations listed in St. Francis De Sales book, "An Introduction to the Devout Life."

a. ATTEND MASS DAILY (receiving holy communion - the holy Eucharist as long as you can do so worthily - see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraphs 1415, 1417, 1650-51), if possible and pray your Rosary daily without fail! Even if you can't say it all at once, complete 5 decades each day and give the merits and graces obtained from saying it to our Blessed Mother! She's your spiritual Mother and will help you!

b. Do penance, if possible.

. If you can, without losing virtue (ie., losing your patience) abstain from meat or dessert two days a week or eat less (if you can afford to do so, especially during lent, give the money you save to the poor - Catholic Relief Services' Rice Bowl drive each lent is a wonderful cause or give it to your local Church's poor box or food bank). *Be sure, however, not to let your penance make you proud (esteem yourself too highly) and others miserable. Penance is only good if it helps you grow in virtue, especially charity!

Remember penance is an act of self-denial. It is the exterior manifestation (clear display) of an interior change of heart and mind. These actions prove we've changed our thinking about something and wish to strengthen ourselves spiritually against the sinful desires of our flesh! (ie., One may abstain from meat in order to remind himself that there's more to life than food, then take the money saved from the act of abstinence and give it to the poor as an act of charity - an act of self-denial for the welfare of others - to prove to God that he loves his neighbor.)

c. Adore our savior in the Most Blessed Sacrament - (give at least 1/2 hour each week to Eucharistic adoration. Remember, Jesus Christ our Lord is really present, his whole divine person - body, blood, soul, and divinity - in the Most Blessed Sacrament! It only looks and tastes like bread! He's there, a prisoner of love for love of you, so worship Him reverently!). 

Read your Bible constantly(interpret it, according to the 3 conditions listed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church - see paragraphs 112-114). 

d. Be obedient to the teachings of the Magisterium of the Church.

e. Pick your company. Your friends are not your friends if they practice or think of base behavior.

f. As a rule, calmly ignore and don't examine bad thoughts and change your thought(s) when tempted. Even better, kiss the holy wounds of Christ reverently (in your mind or physically on the crucifix) and practice acts of love toward Him when you are tempted and distracted by bad thoughts. Now and again, cover yourself under the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ: make the sign of the cross and state "I cover myself under the precious blood of Jesus Christ my savior."

g. Go to confession at least one a month. You receive great grace - undeserved gifts and power - from Jesus through Mary to help you overcome sinful tendancies every time you make a good confession! Be sure to be perfectly sorry for your sins and resolve never to practice them again! Now and again renew your Baptismal promises - to reject Satan and all sin, and then renew your acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior through His one, true Catholic Church! Pledge to worship only the Holy Trinity and undivided unity - Father, Son - Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit!

Lastly, remember God loves you! He is there for you. If you should fall, know he still loves you, get up, repent, go to confession and try again! But NEVER settle for a life of mortal sin! God's commandments aren't suggestions: choose Him today in thought, word, and deed by keeping His commandments (praying your way through temptations) and practicing acts of charity - acts of self-denial for the welfare of others! In this way, you'll imitate God's own divine nature, grow in grace and achieve greater union with God!

Restore

your 

union

with

  God  

through His 

One

True 

Catholic

   Church...

  Follow these conversion 

  steps today and be   restored to a state of   grace...

1. Admit you're a sinner and 

    need Jesus Christ, the only 

    begotten Son of God as YOUR

  Lord and savior!

2. Repent - change your thinking  and direction - willfully show contrition for and firmly resolve never to practice sin...especially all mortal or deadly sin:  for example - never to practice any sexual immorality such as lust or improper sexual behavior in any form - remember our bodies are temples of God's Holy Spirit - not objects to be used for pleasure. Change the way you think about life and lower goods: for example food, property, money.

NOW CONFESS JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR. HE IS THE INCARNATE, ETERNAL WORD OF GOD WHO CAME INTO THE WORLD TO RESTORE ALL OF MANKIND TO UNION WITH GOD - TO SAVE US FROM OUR SINS BY DYING IN ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS  (transgressions).

3. ASK our loving, Heavenly Father - your Heavenly Father who loves you - in our savior Jesus Christ's name- for the grace -the underserved help-gift- to STOP sinning and to help you think as He thinks!

4. Admit you need the sacraments of the one, true Roman Catholic Church - they were instituted by Jesus Christ to automatically confer grace - to give all of the faithful His underserved help and gifts and especially His REAL presence - in the Eucharist AND MOST OF ALL TO GIVE YOU UNION WITH HIM NOW ON EARTH!

    THE HOLY EUCHARIST IS THE 

      THE BODY, BLOOD, SOUL AND DIVINITY -

the whole divine person

 - OF JESUS CHRIST OUR BELOVED SAVIOR!  YOU MUST UNITE YOURSELF TO HIM IN THE EUCHARIST AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE! HOWEVER, YOU MUST BE IN FULL COMMUNION WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FIRST AND  

IN A STATE OF

GRACE, FREE FROM ALL 

DEADLY OR

  MORTAL SIN   

(See paragraphs 1415, 1417, 1650-51 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Only validly baptized CATHOLICS, who have gone to  sacramental confession, received absolution and live in a state of grace can receive the Holy Eucharist).

 Respect Church

  teaching on the

  Eucharist! Only

  receive our Lord

   in a worthy 

    manner for not doing so will

negatively affect

 you 

(See 1 Cor.11: 27-30).

          THEREFORE:

5. If Catholic, ask our Blessed Mother and St. Joseph  to guide you - and  find an orthodox priest - one who willfully accepts and practices the teachings of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church - and make a general confession. Ask him to guide you back into the Church. 

  Remember, if he rejects ANY of the teachings of the Church in the universal Catechism of the Catholic Church then you'll want to ignore him. Period. If you're not Catholic, ask our savior for the gift of Catholicism and follow the above steps for a Catholic, seeking to enter the Roman Catholic Church's RCIA program available at a Catholic parish (that obeys magisterial teaching!).

   E-MAIL US IF
