PADRE PIO PROVES THAT THE HOLY MASS IS JESUS' SACRIFICE ON CALVARY

Padre Pio was once asked what was the problem with clapping at Mass?

He replied: "At Calvary, there were also who applauded the death of Christ's death: the soldiers and the demons."

"Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, when He was about to offer Himself once on the altar of the Cross to God the Father, making intercession by means of His death, so that He might gain there an eternal redemption, since His priesthood was not to be extinguished by death, at the last Supper, 'on the night that he was handed over', left to His beloved Spouse the Church a visible sacrifice, such as the nature of man requires, by which the bloody sacrifice achieved once upon the Cross might be represented and its memory endure until the end of the age, and its saving power be applied to the remission of those sins which are daily committed by us."

The church sect founded by Felix Manalo has once again created a fake story.

The ministers and members of the church founded by Felix Manalo have once again created a new fake story. This is part of their deception of other members of their organization, and so that they can offer other Catholics. But it was found out that Martinez is not a real Catholic priest but rather a lay minister. He knows nothing about theology and other Catholic history. Catholic defenders uncovered this with the help of the church he served. Let's be careful of the deceptions of groups that are thirsty for the truth.

Every year during Lent I'm asked why Catholics fast and abstain. How can I explain our Lenten practice?

Image
Lent  is the 40 days before Easter in which Catholics pray, fast, contemplate, and engage in acts of spiritual self-discipline. Catholics do these things because Easter, which celebrates the Resurrection of Christ, is the greatest holy day of the Christian year (even above Christmas) and Catholics have recognized that it is appropriate to prepare for such a holy day by engaging in such disciplines. (Archbishop Fulton Sheen noted that the Protestant attitude is summarized by the line, “First comes the feast, then comes the hangover,” while the Catholic attitude is “First comes the fast, then comes the feast.”) The reason Lent lasts 40 days is that 40 is the  traditional number  of judgment and spiritual testing in the Bible (Gn 7:4, Ex 24:18, 34:28, Nm 13:25, 14:33, Jon 3:4). Lent bears particular relationship to the 40 days Christ spent fasting in the desert before entering into his public ministry (Mt 4:1-11). Catholics imitate Christ by spending 40 days in spiritual dis...

The Filipino tradition that replaces the “Glory Be” with this prayer during Holy Week

This alternative prayer is used saying the Rosary, and focuses our minds on the somber reality of the Passion. It is a traditional custom, especially among many Filipino Catholics, to replace the “Glory Be” prayer during Holy Week with a more somber prayer. The”Glory Be” prayer is usually said after praying each decade of the Rosary. This has been the custom for many centuries and is the most common way to pray the Rosary. However, during Holy Week, and in some places starting from the 5th Sunday of Lent, the following prayer will be prayed in its place. The prayer highlights the Passion and death of Jesus and is meant to help Catholics meditate more on the suffering of Jesus. V. Christ became obedient for us unto death. R. Even to death on a cross. These two verses are straight from St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians, “he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8). This tradition is popular in the Philippines, and among Filipino...
