Bishop Strickland

This is the hour of the laity! If we keep our eyes on Christ and His deposit of faith, we can bring others to the true faith and be joyful warriors while Christ works His plan. Many of the laity are looking to their shepherds and Bishop Strickland provided that much needed support. What a beautiful holy shepherd (disagree with your stupid things remark) God bless Bishop Strickland! And God bless Cardinal Burke, Athanasius Schneider and Cardinals Sarah, Mueller and Vigano. We pray for Francis, but not his intentions. You are right Fr John about the need for the Blessed Mother’s intercession! She’s got this! And Christ has provided many beautiful priests like you to keep his children steady and focused on Christ! Use the patten, altar rail and Eucharist on the tongue delivered by only sacred hands. We must act like we revere the real food Christ has given us in the the Eucharist -His body and most precious blood! Until we act like we believe in the real presence, others will not believe!
The transcendent is so powerful in bringing others to belief.

Best part of my day!

I’ve learned so much. Most important is, priests are people too.
I’m listening from the beginning and enjoying every minute.

Too one-sided

Been listening since 2013. When one of the new guys talk’s it’s like a one sided conversation. It’s most evident with Fr. Mike.
