Welcome to the Catholic Evangelization Society!
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 company 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 orthodox catholic theological instruction, faith consultation, mission days, and publications 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 communion 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!
Catholic thoughts:
Honor the
Divine Infant
CES reminds all Catholics this month that our beloved savior, Jesus Christ, is always there for us in times of trial. Consider, this month, honoring the Divine Infant Jesus of Prague with a 9 day Novena! No-one loves you more than our timeless savior, the Divine Infant Jesus of Prague! NEVER despair, turn to the Divine Infant Jesus and cast your cares upon Him.
NEVER DESPAIR
Your life was given to you so that you may gain eternal life...transforming union with God!
Put your heart not on the things of this world but on Jesus Christ and growing in greater union with Him...remember life is never as bad as it seems!
About
Forgiveness?
A famous Rock and Roll song came close to "hitting the Bullseye" recently regarding the meaning of life: the song claimed that it's about forgiveness. In truth, life is about sacrificial love, imitating Jesus Christ (God's) sacrificial love for God (the Father) and humanity: beginning with the commandments, moving into the Beatitudes (Blessedness) and ending with the New Law of the Gospel, man is called to deny himself, to love God and neighbor sacrificially, to imitate the divine nature (which is total self-donation, sacrificial love). So while forgiveness is important, it is only one manifestation of sacrificial love.
Let each of us "become partakers of his divinity who humbled Himself to share in our humanity." Let us try to practice sacrificial love.
_______________________
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 - all sin...especially all mortal or deadly sin: for example - any sexual immorality such as lust etc.,.improper sexual behavior in any form - remember our bodies are temples of God's Holy Spirit - not objects of pleasure. Change the way you think about sex - it's sacred - not a sport (this is our Catholic religious belief and a form of our religious expression - this mental outlook is a key element of the virtue of chastity - see the Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraphs 2348-2359).
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!
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 power and especially His REAL presence - in the Eucharist AND MOST OF ALL TO GIVE YOU UNION WITH HIM NOW ON EARTH!
THE EUCHARIST IS THE
PHYSICAL PRESENCE, THE REAL 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 - according
to Church teaching -
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 local parish!
E-MAIL US IF
WE
CAN BE OF
HELP!
Our beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ loves you...choose to follow HIM TODAY in His one true Catholic Church...the only one built on Peter, the Rock and still going strong despite human weakness! Be united to our precious savior in the Most Blessed Sacrament, the Holy Eucharist when you meet the Church's requirements! Remember, "...obedience is better than sacrifice...' (I Sam. 15:22) so be obedient to the Church's requirements before receiving communion: before uniting yourself with your true Lord - Jesus Christ!
