Blessed Are The Peacemakers and the Persecuted: A Look At Matthew 5:9-10

In today's passage we continue with the beatitudes.  We read about the peacemakers and the persecuted, but what does that mean?

They Will See God: A Look at Matthew 5:7-8

In today's passage we are continuing with the beatitudes.  What does it mean to be merciful?  What does it mean to be pure in heart?

The Meek Will Inherit The Earth: A look At Matthew 5:5-6

In today's passage we continue with the beatitudes.  Who are the meek?  What does it mean to hunger for righteousness?

The Purposeful Universe with Dr. Dan Kuebler

In our video we discuss what evolution is and is not, how the universe has order and nothing is by chance, and Aquinas and the contingency argument for God's existence. It is an informative discussion with a great scientist about our origins.

#principleoftheday: When the vail of heaven is revealed, we will see God in “every-thing”

God communicates a lot to us in many unexpected ways, and the spiritual realm is considered to be more real and important to pay attention to by the Catholic Church, than the physical. In the 1960s America was looking at her people getting into a 4-hour work week. What Happened? Listen as Ann Vandersteel, of Steel Truth, and I tackle the unfortunate truths that keep you moving around your day to day, purposefully keeping you busy, distracted, and possibly unknowingly complacent in the globalists NWO mindset, simply to keep power over permanently ending some of the world's toughest problems, to which we already have solutions and have had some of them for decades!

The Catholic Man Show - Purifying your Memory

The thoughts that take place in the memory can weigh us down to the point of death, or enliven us to sainthood

About our drink:

About our gear:

Lansky Deluxe 5-Stone Sharpening System

• Deluxe 5-stone knife sharpening system for kitchen, outdoor, hobby, or garden knives

• Color-coded stones with finger-grooved safety holders; specially formulated honing oil
• Includes precision-engineered knife clamp and custom-molded storage/carrying case

About the Topic:

Many times when we sin, it is because we have entertained a disorder and perceived it to be good. When we do sin many times it is hard to forget about what we have done and we can glorify the sin. “Forgiveness of sins by God is precisely the highest and the most eminent form of the purification of memory. That is because the divine forgiveness really erases and destroys the sin, so that its weight does not burden the conscience anymore.”

How we can help purify the mind: 1. Confession 2. Adoration and an increase in prayer life which increases the theological virtue of hope 3 Holy thoughts and images.
