Saint Quote: Saint Jude Thaddeus

But you, my dearly beloved, be mindful of the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who told you, that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses. These are they, who separate themselves, sensual men, having not the Spirit. But you, my beloved, building yourselves upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life everlasting.

-- Saint Jude Thaddeus (The Epistle of Jude 1: 17 - 21)

Halloween Costumes At Mass?

One of my favorite blogs (which I read daily, so I guess that makes it my favorite) is "What Does The Prayer Really Say?" by Father John Zuhlsdorf, known fondly to his readers as Father Z.

One of the articles on Father Z's blog has to do with a priest reader of the blog making a suggestion for a poll regarding the wearing of Halloween costumes at Mass next Sunday. Please take a moment to read the article and vote in his poll. You may also take part in the discussion. Go to the article and the poll by clicking here.

Saint Quote : Saint Mark the Ascetic

 

 

Even though knowledge is true, it is still not firmly established if unaccompanied by works. For everything is established by being put into practice.
