The Surrender Novena
Day 1
Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.(Jesus to Fr Dolindo)

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

It is wonderful to do a surrender Novena every first 9 days of every month, to remind us to give ourselves to God.

Someone shared this, and I wanted to share it with you

Fake Catholics can't use the faith to promote themselves in the political arena and then use their positions to push radical anti-Catholic positions. Congratulations to the priest for standing strong against evil!

"If you cannot find Christ in the beggar at the church door, you will not find Him in the chalice."

St.John Chrysostom

•Happy Feast of the Visitation🌹
Elizabeth exclaimed,
"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! But why am I so favoured, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!"•

Common protestant 😭🙏🏻

Gospel of the Day (Matthew 16:15-18)

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.
And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.
I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

INTERESTINGLY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS IN THE BIBLE AS WELL.... See Acts 9:31 it's it's original greek❤️ where the Church all thought is called "Ekklesia Katholes"... Aka the Catholic Church.

JULY 7: KILLED FOR BEING "TOO CATHOLIC"
Soon-to-be Saint Petro ToRot
Married Layperson, Catechist, and Martyr
Died: 1945
---
He was a married layperson, catechist, and martyr from Papua New Guinea. During World War II, the Japanese invaded them and the missionaries were driven out. He led the Catholic community. He organized prayer gatherings, baptisms, and funerals. He exhorted his people not go back to polygamy and cannibalism. The Japanese arrested him for being "too Catholic" and killed him with lethal injection.

I agree

Just finished reading an account of St Francis of Assisi by GK Chesterton and one thing about the great Saint as related by Chesterton stands out; “He deliberately missed the forest for the trees”.

Chesterton doesn’t mean that as a pejorative to say he misses the point, but that he misses the point deliberately in a childlike way. He deliberately sees a collection of individuals not a crowd, he sees a sheep in a flock and he sees the tree of the forest. Let us never fail to remember that each and every one of us Christ died for as individually as if we were the only person who ever lived, so therefore let’s treat each person as though they re the only person alive, each flower as though it’s the last left on earth and each tree like it stands alone.

Friends, do not see a mass, see the Christ, and, more presciently, see Him in everybody.

Faux-intellectuals will be like “Religion is just how people made sense of the world when they didn’t understand science yet, for example all the laws in the OT about not consuming dead animals is to prevent disease” my brother in Christ there is so much talk of “discharges” in Leviticus for both men and women, it is quite clear everybody is walking around with an STI or a yeast infection and this is a point in salvation history when polygamy is still permitted
