“In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center
of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the
realization that I loved all those people, that they were mine
and I theirs, that we could not
be alien to one another even
though we were total strangers
….There is no way of telling
people that they are all walking
around shining like the sun.”

Q. What about members of Church who aren’t holy?
A. One should avoid judging members of any
organization by those who are lax, disinterested,
or who don’t attend the meetings or live by its
values. Look instead to the lives of those
sincerely devoted, such as:
† Francis & Clare of Assisi
† Damien of Molokai & Padre Pio
† Teresa of Avila & John of the Cross † Thomas Merton & John Paul II
† John de Brebeuf & Isaac Jogues
† Franz Jägerstätter & Oscar Romero
† Edith Stein & Maximillian Kolbe
† Maria Gorretti & Elizabeth Seton
† Thomas More and John Fisher
† Katherine Drexil & Brother Andre

Priests
The ministerial or hierarchical priesthood of bishops and priests, and
the common priesthood of all the faithful participate, "each in its own
proper way, in the one priesthood of Christ." While being "ordered one
to another," they differ essentially. In what sense? While the common
priesthood of the faithful is exercised by the unfolding of baptismal
grace --a life of faith, hope, and charity, a life according to the Spirit--,
the ministerial priesthood is at the service of the common priesthood.
It is directed at the unfolding of the baptismal grace of all Christians.
The ministerial priesthood is a means by which Christ unceasingly
builds up and leads his Church. For this reason it is transmitted by its
own sacrament, the sacrament of Holy Orders.

Step 4: Blessed
A person is deemed
to be interceding on
our behalf, as he or
she enjoys the
beatific vision of God
in heaven.
Step 5: Saint
The Pope decrees a
person to be a saint
normally after at least
on miracle for martyrs
or a second a second
one for confessors.

Act of Contrition
“O my God, I am heartily
sorry for having offended
Thee, and I detest all my
sins, because of Thy just
punishments, but most
of all because they
offend Thee, my God,
Who art all good and
deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the
help of Thy grace, to sin
no more and to avoid the
near occasions of sin.
Amen.”
