Jesus died for us, will we live for Him?
Let us live our faith and defend our faith today.
What are the challenges to the faith today?
The First and Greatest Commandment
Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment.
- Matthew 22:37-38
and with thy whole strength.
- Mark 12:30
1) Living for God.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. - Romans 12:2
One of the hardest thing to do is to live for God, it's because we live too much for the world. So to live for God, is to not live for the world.
It's not easy, but it is putting God's will before our will. This is living for God.
It's not easy, but it is putting God's will before our will. This is living for God.
2) With thy whole strength, make Holy Communion in the Hand unthinkable.
Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. - 1 Corinthians 11:27
When we love Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, we must not allow any particles to fall to the ground (each particle is still the full Jesus), which does happen with receiving Holy Communion in the hand.
Sure, Holy Communion in the hand is permitted, never the less it does not cancel the truth that Eucharistic particles do fall to the ground and is trampled on.
Is this concern really necessary? Absolutely, how can we live for Christ, yet treat Him this way. It is not just some particles of bread, it's Jesus. If we are serious of our belief, we should not be saying "yeah but.." Remember, love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, soul, mind and strength. Yet how can faithful Catholics possibly prevent this in the mists of the Modernists controlled Novus Ordo churches; forcing the faithful to receive Holy Communion in the hand? We must do what is worthy to God. Seek the Authentic Mass.
We cannot treat God's greatest Commandment as an option or as a casual response.

3) Seek the Authentic Mass
If we are to truly love God, seek the authentic Catholic Mass, not something that is watered down with Protestant influence. Because of this, the Novus Ordo demands Holy Communion in the hand, and disregards the original law of Holy Communion on the tongue.
Seek the Traditional Latin Mass (for the Roman Rite) where Holy Communion is given on the tongue while kneeling.
We can receive Holy Communion worthily, but it may not be easy due to distances and the limited numbers churches offering the Traditional Latin Mass.
Yet this is the reason why Our Lord Commands us to love Him with our whole heart, soul, mind and strength. So that we do make the effort to receive Him worthily.

4) Love of God's Laws (Commandments, Church Dogmas and Doctrines)
If you love me, keep my commandments. - John 14:15
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
- Matthew 5:18
Form the habit of loving all God's laws, in other words, obedience to God's will and not ours. That way we can truly say we love God.
The Second Greatest Commandment
And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
- Matthew 22:39
1) The Salvation of Souls - Evangelize the Faith
And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.
- Matthew 28: 18-20
Nothing is more important in loving thy neighbor than to help save their soul. Modernists will tell us that "everyone has a reasonable hope of salvation" but what does that mean if people do not know Christ? How can they know the way, the truth and the life without Christ. Would we knowing Christ, choose to leave Him, why not? If we are to love our neighbor as ourselves, why do we not let them know of Christ our Savior?
2) Only Inside the Church
extra Ecclesiam nulla salus
Catholic Dogma: Outside the Church there is no salvation.
We may not know who is, or who is not saved, but we do know that whoever is saved, is inside the Church. Remember our Creed: I believe in One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. The Church is One but does have three parts.
Those who are outside the Church (Militant) but do receive sanctifying grace (before the Church was established or through invincible ignorance) do still end inside the Church (Suffering and or Triumph). Outside the Church there is no salvation. Jesus came and died for us, but he also built His One true Church to show us the way, the truth and the life for our Salvation. He did not build it for no reason or as an option only. Jesus is like you are with me, or against me. Can we not apply this to His One truth Church? Beside what we think, what matters is what we believe and accept. Catholic Dogma - It is incontrovertibly true. We either have the full faith or we lose the full faith. Christ is not about lukewarmness.
Yet many will not believe, they will ignore one or more Catholic Dogmas they dislike, claiming to still have the faith but loose it.
"For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables." - 2 Timothy 4:3

3) "Go and sin no more." - Let us not believe the Modernist's false mercy.
Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more. - John 8:11
Mercy is only given to us now in this life, for those who repent and amend their lives before it's too late. After, only comes the four last things Death, Judgement, Heaven, Hell. Those who promote mercy and accompaniment, but never mention Jesus' words of "Go and now sin no more." are showing false mercy.
It may not be easy, but we must all keep trying. Going to Confession is the process of receiving true mercy.

4) Our trust the Blessed Virgin Mary
"One day through the Rosary and the Scapular I will save the world." - Our Lady to Saint Dominic
How many Catholics do actually pray the Rosary everyday and why don't the Modernists promote the Rosary and the Brown Scapular? Where is the trust in Our Lady?
We have to trust Our Lady, it's up to each one of us. We should not abandon the wonderful gifts Our Lady grants to us.
