“Only in Christ can men and women find answers to the ultimate questions
that trouble them.
Only in Christ can they fully understand their dignity as persons created
and loved by God.”
Pope St. John Paul II
(shelf fungus / Julie Cook / 2020)
“There is nothing to be dreaded in human ills except sin—not poverty,
or disease, or insult, or ill-treatment, or dishonor, or death,
which people call the worst of evils. To those who love spiritual wisdom,
these things are only the names of disasters, names that have no substance.
No, the true disaster is to offend God, to do anything that displeases him.”
St. John Chrysostom, p. 334
An Excerpt From
A Year with the Church Fathers
“true disaster is to offend God” and God is offended at sin. Neither the sinner nor the saint can intentionally sin and not suffer the consequences.
Truly so!!

Many blessings Kathy!
Sadly, our society has lost sight of this truth.
It seems as if only a select are fully aware of the gift!
Amen!
