Far too often today people call themselves Christians without ever having repented of their sins, without any change in their lives. But, if one isn’t saved from his sins, from what is he saved? Is it not a blessing to turn away from sin? (See Acts 3:26). To repent is for the sinner to recognize and acknowledge his lost sinful condition before a holy and just God. Repentance should not be taken lightly, for God commands it! “(Acts 17:30) He also makes it clear that this is something that every person must do. To be in violation of this is to go directly against what God says He wants men to do. Being born into a religious family, being a member of a church all your life, and keeping religious traditions will not save anyone, if your heart is cold and if you ignore truthfulness and justice. John the Baptist’s enemies had sought to silence him, but the Gospel cannot be silenced. As soon as John had finished his testimony Jesus began His in Galilee. Galilee was at the crossroads of the world and much traffic passed through this little region. It had been assigned to the tribes of Asher, Naptali and Zebulum when the Israelites first came into the land (see Joshua 9). For a long time it had been under Gentile occupation. Isaiah foretold (see Isaiah 9) that the good news of salvation would be proclaimed in this land and reach to the Gentiles. Jesus begins the proclamation of the gospel here to fulfill the Word of God. (Matthew 4:15) The Gospel is the power and wisdom of God: power to change and transform our lives and wisdom to show us how to live as sons and daughters of our Father in heaven. In Romans 2:3. Paul says, “God’s kindness leads us to repentance.” Not God’s anger, not God’s wrath, not God’s vengeance, but God’s kindness leads us to the place where we can say, I need all new things. I repent and I lay aside every burden. I lay aside everything that I have kept in my heart, everything that dirtied my soul, everything that has tarnished my heart. I lay it aside for the surpassing worth of knowing God’s grace. The kingdom is here. God’s presence is in front of each and every one of us. Let us be aware of what a blessing, what a good thing, what a hallowed thing, what a peaceful thing, what a graceful gift it is that He wants to give us. Let us pray that God opens our eyes, ears, heart and mind to receive and experience that newness within ourselves today itself. Read this bulletin online: www.stjosephhouston.org | Published by:Rev.

  • St. Simon Berneux Catholic.Net
    St. Simon Berneux Catholic.net The Korean Martyrs were the victims of religious persecution against Catholic Christians during the 19th century in Korea. At least 8,000 (as many as 10,000) adherents to the faith were killed during this period, 103 of whom were canonized en masse in May 1984. Paul Yun Ji-Chung and 123 companions were declared "Venerable" on February 7, 2014, and on August 16, 2014, they were beatified by Pope Francis during the Asian Youth Day in Gwanghwamun Plaza, Seoul, South Korea. There are further moves to beatify Catholics who were killed by communists for their faith in the 20th century during the Korean War. Background At the end of the 18th century Korea was a country ruled by the Joseon Dynasty. It was a society based on Confucianism with its hierarchical, class relationships. There was a small minority of privileged scholars and nobility while the majority were commoners paying taxes, providing labour and manning the military. Below them was the slave class. Even though it was scholars who first introduced the Gospel to Korea, it was the ordinary people who flocked to the new religion. The new believers called themselves "Chonju kyo udul" literally "friends of the teaching of God of Heaven". The term "friends" was the only term in the Confucian understanding of relationships which implied equality. History During the early 17th century, Christian literature written in Chinese was imported from China to Korea. On one of these occasions, around 1777, Christian literature obtained from Jesuits in China led educated Korean Christians to study.

    1 FAITH CONFESSION OF ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago The faith confession of St. Thomas the Apostle, “My Lord and My God”, stands in history as the most profound confession on Jesus’ true identity. ‘Lord’ and ‘God’ are the equivalent words for the Greek terms ‘Kyrios’ and ‘Theos’ respectively used to denote the Hebrew words ‘Yahweh’ and ‘Elohim’, two expressions used to address the Almighty One. Making use of these words to the Resurrected Lord, Thomas equates Jesus to the Absolute Deity. He connects the Old Testament and New Testament St. Thomas Syro-Malabar understanding of God in the person of Jesus Christ. Catholic Diocese of Chicago St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago, by living My Lord and My God and experiencing the faith confession of her patron through the celebration of her liturgy, aims at the deepening of the identity and heritage of Syro- Malabar Church in the United States of America.

  • Prayers to the Saints, Is a Collection of About 212 Prayers Dedicated to the Holy Ones of God
    By James H. Kurt Reviewed by Tannia E. Ortiz-Lopes (timewithtannia.tripod.com) James H. Kurt's book, Prayers to the Saints, is a collection of about 212 prayers dedicated to the holy ones of God. The book follows the Church calendar of the United States and includes prayers to known saints, others of recent canonization, and others not so well known. The prayers are written with an eloquent and poetic language describing the life of the saints and echoing the psalms of David. This glimpse into the lives of the saints will make you curious and will encourage you to further investigate the cause of their martyrdom and/or their holy lives. Now let us reflect on the meaning of prayer. According to dictionary.com, a prayer is a “spiritual communion with God or an object of worship, as in supplication, thanksgiving, adoration, or confession.” However, our Catholic dogma gives us a more profound meaning of prayer. The Catholic on-line encyclopedia, newadvent.org, defines prayer as “an act of the virtue of religion which consists in asking proper gifts or graces from God. This may be done by acts of praise and thanksgiving, but petition is the principal act of prayer.” Both definitions have a common purpose, “spiritual communion with God.” These petitions could be done by asking God directly or by seeking the assistance of the holy ones. As per newadvent.org, “we pray to the holy angels and to men not that God may learn our petition through them, but that by their prayers and merits our prayers may be efficacious.” I chose to showcase some saints and martyrs of the cause of Christ who gave their lives for the goodness of God kingdom in far away places such as Europe, Korea, Uganda, and Vietnam.

  • Archbishop Smith: 감사합니다
    Archbishop Smith: 감사합니다 감사합니다 That’s “thank you” in Korean. I’ve been saying that a lot these last number of days. That’s because it is the only thing I CAN say in the Korean language. Archbishop Richard W. Smith with Archbishop Hyginus Kim Hee-jong and Auxiliary Bishop Simon Ok Hyun-jjn. In point of fact, to say 감사합니다 is the reason I’ve travelled to Korea, from where I am writing this particular blog post. For over twenty years, the Archdiocese of Gwangju, in the southwestern part of the country, has been making priests available to care for the members of St. Jung Ha Sang Parish, the Korean Catholic community in Edmonton. For years the parish has been inviting me to visit this land, and finally I have been able to make the timing work, in coordination with Archbishop Kim Hee-jong, and his Auxiliary Bishop Ok Hyun-jjn. So, for this wonderful expression of solidarity and support towards our Korean parish and our local Church in general, I am here to bring the thanks of the clergy and lay faithful of the Archdiocese of Edmonton. Archbishop Smith with Archbishop John Hung Shan-chuan, S.V.D or Taiwan. My journey began with a two-day stopover in Taiwan to visit with a friend from university days of old. It was great to see him and to catch up on what has been happening in his life. It also afforded me the opportunity to pay a visit to the Archbishop of Taipei, Most Rev. John Hung Shan-Chuan, to learn about and see a bit of what is happening in that local Church, and also to thank him for the gift of one of his priests who served our Chinese parish of Mary Help of Christians for a few years.
