God Immortal Be Adored

Thoughts on the Mystery of Mysteries — The marathon to the end of the Ecclesiastical year which started on the feast of Pentecost is followed by the feast that offers solemn tribute to the Most Holy Trinity.

What a bunch of hooey.

What a bunch of hooey. The good shepherd (priests/bishops/ the pope) nourishes his flock by preaching the Word of God. The mission of the Church is to preach, govern, and sanctify souls. That is, teach the Word of God as it came to us through the Bible and Apostolic tradition…
