Noah's Ark

God was very displeased with the human race and how they were defying God's laws. He sent a huge flood to wipe them out except for Noah and his family and 2 of every creature. Noah and his family and the animals were in the Ark for 40 days and nights. God then promised Noah he woud never do this to the human race again.

Upper Room

While the Apostles were waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit they stayed in the upper room. They are all scared, they were hiding hoping theywould not suffer the same fate as Jesus. Can you imagine how scared you would be if the man you followed for the past few years was murdered for everything you believed in. I would be hiding too. I would be scared if I had to go out and prech somthing that had just gotten their friend killed.

Holy Week

The Risen Christ Approaches!
This Sunday, March 31st is Easter Sunday! The day our lord Christ Rises from his grave to redeem and save mankind. 
Easter, along with Christmas, and other days of Holy Obligation where the Church is packed with "Jack Catholics" ( Catholics who only show up to the most important Celebrations) pack the Church. Another name for these type of Catholics lacking in Faith is "Cafeteria Catholics", those who pick and choose which Church teachings they wish to follow. Sadly, I'll admit that I am a little of each of these, so I cannot go on a rant on how bad it is or how much of a sinner  a person is for being one.   But there is always Hope to redeem ourselves! The Lenten Season --soon to come to a end-- is a great time for a spiritual change. Often, sacrificing or "giving up" something for God during lent is always a great faith builder for me. Lent is a call to Holiness, a call for preparation for what is to come. This is what Christ time in the desert was focused on. Just as we prepare ourselves for Easter, Christ was preparing himself for his death on the Cross. And just as the Apostles rejoice we they discover that their Lord has risen, so shall we!

The Communion of Saints


First Judgement

This first post is to inform you about the Church as the Communion of Saints. That is to say that it covers a range of topics from Judgement day to how the relationships between churches are, such as that of the Muslim and the Catholic faiths. To start off I want to talk about Judgement Day. My view on it, and from what I have been taught, makes it sound like a bad thing. Where in St. Johns last writings in the book of Revelation, he talks about how the lamb will undo the seven seals and it will be pandemonium on earth makes others scared about Jesus's second coming. I'm here to tell you not to be scared. Jesus's Second coming will be a glorious thing, not something to be feared. If you are faithful and have a good sense of morals, Jesus's second coming will be the best thing to ever happen to you. You will be taken into heaven by his power. But thats for another time. I'm Charles Mooz with my partner, God, signing off.
