Catholic Church Facts Part 2 – Catholic Verse of the day
Today’s Catholic Verse of the day is from the Gospel of John Chapter 20 Verses 1-9. This is the account of Easter Sunday when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus and found it empty. She ran to tell the disciples and then Jesus appeared to her and said “Do not hold on to me for I have not yet returned to the Father.” Then he ascended into heaven. This verse is a reminder that Jesus is always with us even when we cannot see him.
Catholic verse of the day on Easter Sunday
“He is not here for he has risen as he said.” Matthew 28:6. This verse from the Gospel of Matthew is the Catholic reading for Easter Sunday. On this day we celebrate Christ’s resurrection from the dead. This event is the cornerstone of our faith and it reminds us that death is not the end. Christ has conquered death and we too will one day rise from the dead to be with him in heaven.
What are times when Catholics have to go against social norms to remain faithful to the Gospel?
There are many times when Catholics have to go against social norms to remain faithful to the Gospel. One example is the Church’s teaching on contraception. In a world where premarital sex and casual sex are seen as normal the Church’s teaching that sex should be reserved for marriage can seem archaic. Another example is the Church’s teaching on abortion. In a culture where abortion is seen as a woman’s right the Church’s teaching that abortion is murder can seem radical. There are many other examples but these two illustrate how Catholics sometimes have to swim against the tide to remain faithful to what they believe.
Do Catholic men have a right to have children?
Catholic men do have a right to have children as do all men. However, the Catholic Church does teach that men have a responsibility to ensure that they can provide for their families before they undertake to have children. This teaching is based on the principle that children are a gift from God and should be treated as such. Additionally, the Church teaches that couples should prayerfully discern whether or not they are ready to have children and should only do so when they are prepared to provide for them both physically and emotionally.
The Catholic Church teaches that marriage is a sacrament and that the husband and wife are equal partners in God’s plan for their lives. They are to remain faithful to each other for the rest of their lives and they are expected to have children. However, the Church also teaches that there are times when it is morally permissible to use contraception such as when a couple is trying to avoid having more children than they can afford to support. So while Catholic men do have a right to have children they also have a responsibility to ensure that they can provide for their families.
What does it mean to a Catholic if I am suddenly tired at 3 00 pm but wake up again at 3 01 pm?
It means that you are in danger of falling asleep and not being able to stay awake for the rest of the day. It is a good idea to get up and move around or do something to keep yourself awake.
Catholic prayer for someone dying of cancer?
“God our Father, You love us unconditionally, And we are grateful. We know You are with us In the good times and bad, In sickness and in health. We ask for Your strength now as we face cancer. Give us the courage to fight, The faith to believe in Your healing, And the hope to see Your love at work in our lives. Amen”
An unbaptized man wants to become Catholic through RCIA but is still living with his significant other and has a child what must be done to accomplish his desire to complete RCIA and get baptized
The baby needs to be baptized so that he is able to receive the Eucharist and be a part of the Catholic Church. The baby must be baptized because it is the Church’s teaching that baptism is the sacrament that makes us a member of the church. It is also a way to show the world that we are Christians. It is a way to show the world that we love our neighbors and care for those who are less fortunate. It is a way to show the world that we are not selfish, but rather generous. It is a way to show the world that we have the power to change lives.
