Can I Getta Amen

Why be obedient? The act of obedience builds up the power to obey within us. It's a safeguard in the time of temptation. Being obedient to even traffic laws has spiritual benefits. If you break a law you will upset the good habit of being obedient so that when the temptation comes-and it always comes-you will have less strength to follow the Holy Spirit in the face of a more difficult temptation.

📖 Titus 3:1 "Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good."

Heaven is seeing God. The eyes are the window to the soul, and there are images that lead us into impurity and defile our temples causing harm to our spiritual trust in the Lord. In taking in all the flesh we lose sight of the spiritual good of the soul.
Stay focused on the daily spiritual grind. Plow forward! Keep reading the Word of God.

📖Revelations 3:17 "For you say, ‘I am rich; I have prospered; I have everything I want,’ never realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked."

"The first thing to go will be your daily examination of conscience." - Father Frey
Join us for another mini episode with Fr. Nick DuPré on The 10 Ways the Devil Oppresses Us. This week we dive into part 3: Procrastination.
The devil will coax us into believing we have more time than we really have, and he gets us to put off our spiritual practices of piety that must be done each and every day that God has given us to live for His glory. 

📖1 Thess 5:1-8 "Now concerning the times and the season, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, 'There is peace and security,' then sudden destruction will come upon them like labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet that is hope for salvation."

We are back with our Lenten Mini Series— 10 Ways the Devil Oppresses Us.
Part 2: The devil will LIE and lead us to think we don't need the Church's sacraments or grace. We cannot live a life worthy of going to heaven by our own strength. The devil will lure us in the sneakiest of ways to keep us from God’s grace.

📖John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.”
📖Titus: 3:5 "He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit."
📖John 6:44 "No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day."

Join us this Lenten Season for a mini series with Fr. Nick DuPré on the 10 Ways the Devil Oppresses Us.

Part 1: The devil makes us feel desolate and unloved by instilling FEAR.
What kind of fear? Fear that we have to be noticed by others either in real life or on social media to be important. Fear that we have to be physically beautiful to be loved. Fear that we have to accomplish great things or be publicly awarded to be considered valuable. Fear that we will be excluded or teased if we do not share a popular opinion or attitude.

📖John 8: 44 "He is a liar and a murderer from the beginning."  
📖John 14:30 Jesus calls the devil "The Prince of this World." 
📖1 Peter 5:8 St. Peter compares the devil to an animal, a ferocious and vicious animal. "He is like a roaring lion on the prowl seeking whom he can devour."
