BLE & BAE Discussion 32nd Tuesday Memorial of Saint Josaphat, Bishop and Martyr

H
Holiness is possible. Creating holy moments one at a time.

From Dynamic Catholic


Gospel LK 17:7-10

Jesus said to the Apostles:
"Who among you would say to your servant
who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field,
'Come here immediately and take your place at table'?
Would he not rather say to him,
'Prepare something for me to eat.
Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink.
You may eat and drink when I am finished'?
Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded?
So should it be with you.
When you have done all you have been commanded, say,
'We are unprofitable servants;
we have done what we were obliged to do.'"

Gospel for the feast of st josaphatJN 17:20-26

Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said:
"Holy Father,
I pray not only for these,
but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
so that they may all be one,
as you, Father, are in me and I in you,
that they also may be in us,
that the world may believe that you sent me.
And I have given them the glory you gave me,
so that they may be one, as we are one,
I in them and you in me,
that they may be brought to perfection as one,
that the world may know that you sent me,
and that you loved them even as you loved me.
Father, they are your gift to me.
I wish that where I am they also may be with me,
that they may see my glory that you gave me,
because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
Righteous Father, the world also does not know you,
but I know you, and they know that you sent me.
I made known to them your name and I will make it known,
that the love with which you loved me
may be in them and I in them."

Blessing to all who read and share. Make it a great day in our Lord Jesus

O/P: Those Darn Toxic Traddies!

I'm a traditional Catholic.  A " Traddie ," as friends and detractors alike label us.  I wear the badge of Beware the Toxic Traddie! "Traddie" with joy.  Being a Traddie offers stability, sanity, and context in these days of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval for our beloved Church.  I encourage my friends in the real world to discover the joys of the Traditional/Extraordinary Form of the Mass, and I endeavor to encourage my acquaintances in the Catholic Blog-O-Sphere to do likewise. One consistent criticism leveled against Traddies is that we lack charity.  There is some substance to this.  Welder Chick, our OHCA foundress of happy memory, pointed out this shortcoming on more than one occasion, and she was right. The characterization is often overplayed by non-Traddies, who act as if they consider this character flaw sufficient grounds for dismissing traditional Catholics in their entirety.  Yes, there are cranky Traddies out there who lack c...

Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.
