Remembering Who We Are
Once upon a time, a young prince is challenged by his father to go off into the world to prepare for his coronation: "You will undergo many hardships, and the hardest of all will be to remember your true identity in the midst of a people who know nothing of our kingdom."
Christians are challenged with a simple question: "Can it be that you have entirely forgotten who you are?"

The Origins of Catholic Education
zhlédnutí 3,9KPřed rokem
We think of ourselves as living in a highly educated time, but there's a sense in which we actually do very little education. On the surface, this claim seems ridiculous: schools and universities fill the world, and the modern world can boast of impressive scientific understanding and scientific advancement. It helps to turn to the distinction between education and training. While training refe...

During the past decades, Catholic life has been dominated by questions of tradition. What is it? How important is it? What is its role in the life of faith?

    It's so difficult to know exactly when to "choose" who to surround yourself with ("good people") when I also have to be careful not to "escape" from the environment God has placed me in. Also "putting your utmost confidence in Jesus" can sometimes seem so esoteric, because what if I put my trust in him and it turns out I should have planned better or used my "common sense" to choose to do something? Sorry, maybe I'm just not getting it right. Would appreciate prayers for clarity. What exactly is the balance between "total dependency" and doing the work?

    Too much interruption around us is how satan has tried to hide the truth from us. Hollywood, business, money, and hardship through our ethics of work, losing respect for our own dignity, which has made us slaves of our own ignorance about what is truly important in our lives. Invading and corrupting the church representatives as well in the many ways that we have sadly seen. We need to regain the ground we lost with Jesus's and Our Queen's help. Thank you keep going as you uncover Jesus's enlightenment. God is amazingly powerful.

    Thank you. Paideia was still the guiding ideal in Catholic and other schools of His ghet education when I was in grad school in the early 1960s. But then the technocrats took over; we got bogged down in one pointless war after another, we lost our idealism, our sense of purpose, our sense of decency and our moral compass. « imIf ot feels foot, do it » became the cry of the 60s social revolution, and ce skidded downhill every since. Now we kill inconvenient babies, put old and sick fool out of their misery, let criminals back on the street to commit crime again, don’t back up our law enforcement people, don’t really care for our sick as human persons, just statistics, font honor our soldiers’ sacrifices nor the sacrifices their families make. We are a give me, give me culture. We have forgotten John F. Kennedy ‘s advice: « Don’t ash what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. If ou are under 75 you probably don’t know what I’m saying. You have been deprived of the benefits of living in one o the few truly great countries in history. I pray that your curiosity is pricked and you work to bring the US A back to its greatness.

    This is an outstanding, lucid articulation of reality. The sad thing is, the Catholic Episcopacy is to blame from within for the cultural shift that was was Christendom. The Episcopacy has promoted a flawed notion of “Social Justice” that isn’t even Catholic. They have fostered, encouraged, and educated the most anti-Catholic powerful people who are now excluding the very Church from the society. Bishops like McElroy, Tobin, Cupich, Bernadin, Wuerl, McCarrick, and Gregory are to blame for this disaster.

    Sometimes I look at a little figure of Christ I have at home, I ask Him "what am I doing wrong that doesn't allow you to get closer to me?" and the feeling of blame pierces my heart because I know it's my fault, not His. It consumes me. I know He itches to fill me up with His love, but I'm a sinful, stone-hearted idiot that doesn't know how to let Him work on me. My sweet Jesus, forgive me. Let me know what can I do to be one with you.

      I was raised Catholic. In my desire to deepen my faith, I went to a Baptist church and have since come back to the Catholic Church. But when I was young, they did CCD. You got the basics so you could receive communion and also the sacrament of confirmation. The religious education was extremely lacking and you just did it because you were Catholic. At 60 years old, investigating on my own I have learned so much. Children don’t learn to do things because you just say “I said so“. You need to know what you’re talking about and walk the walk. I don’t know what it’s like now, my kids are in the 30s, but it was no different when they went to CCD. If you want people to come back to the church, you need to give them some information and teach them. This Nun is amazing!!

It even seems as if they had been made one for each other 😮🥲
