Find us at THE BISHOP Writes What are you doing for Lent? hat’s the question Catholics often ask each other in the 40 days Tleading up to Easter. I would like to ask a different question – “Why do something for Lent?” So often from Ash Wednesday until Easter, we take on a regime of self- denial or active charity, but why? We are about to celebrate the most important event in world history; the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. What made his death so important was the freedom with which he went to this death. It was not forced on him, he chose it. This freedom made his death a paramount act of Love. Without selfishness and in total dedication to his father and to those around him, he gave up his life. He had a radical freedom to die. His resurrection comes in the wake of this freedom. is slavery to desires and is the epitome denial is not sufficient. We cannot We don’t have this kind of freedom, of selfishness. We don’t choose, instead achieve freedom by ourselves.

From Fr. Gamber to myself, from the original German core to the admixture of Irish, Italians, Spanish and others, ours has been a story of families and their belonging to this greater family of St. Boniface. In such a short space as this, the task is impossible. So I will speak here not of the history or the story of this faith filled and faithful community, but of its tradition. From the beginning, St. Boniface Parish was and has remained a symbol of its people and priests; a symbol of the values and aspirations of the courageous Germans who came to this wilderness from the civilized climes of their homeland to create a better life for themselves and their posterity in this land of opportunity and freedom.

  • Blasphemous Titles of Rome’S Mary Goddess
    Blasphemous Titles Of Rome’s Imaginary Mary Goddess The following list of aggrandizing titles bestowed upon the Catholic Mary confirms just how far the Church of Rome has gone to elevate their false version of Mary to goddess status. It appears as if they have exceeded the idolatry of ALL pagan goddess worshippers combined. As you can see from the list below, Rome has borrowed attributes from many pagan goddesses in the titles “Our Lady Of”, “Mother Of” and “Virgin Of”. The Catholic Church has also searched the Bible far and wide in order to misapply attributes to Mary that she never had or that belonged to some other biblical person, in an effort to create their deified version of Mary. The true biblical Mary who gave birth to the Lord Jesus Christ – and who did not remain a virgin – would be shocked and revolted by the glorification of herself by Catholics, that so far overshadows the attention and glory given by Catholics to Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.
