A Catholic Response

Live as free men, yet without using your freedom as a pretext for evil; but live as servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God.

Both the questions and responses are edited to conserve space. Unfortunately we no longer read our e-mail due to a glut of junk mail. It now takes hours to download a day's worth of mail! Sorry.

Angel...from Hermanoleon...
Reflect on the precepts of the LORD, let his commandments be your constant meditation; Then he will enlighten your mind, and the wisdom you desire he will grant.
Sirach 6:37
Points for Prayerful Meditation:
  • The opposite of love is not hate but power.
  • No freedom without love.
  • No love without God.
  • Sins are acts against God, but since we are created in the image of God, they are eventually acts against us.
  • The true stumbling-block to faith is not reason but arrogance.
  • The Ten Commandments are the laws that liberate us from barbarism.
  • Suffering reminds us that we are not in control of the universe.
  • "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
  • "Man is precisely a person because he is master of himself and has self-control. Indeed, insofar as he is master of himself he can give himself to the other (spouse)." [Pope John Paul II,The Theology of the Body, p.398]
  • "To experience the gift of married love while respecting the laws of conception is to acknowledge that one is not the master of the sources of life, but rather the minister of the design established by the Creator."[Humanae Vitae 13]
  • Choose freedom instead of slavery to passions. Come Holy Spirit; Fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. You send forth your Spirit and things are created. And you renew the face of the earth.
    Let us pray: Oh God, you taught the hearts of your faithful people by sending them the light of your Holy Spirit. In the same Spirit give us right judgement and the joy of your consolation. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
