As I see it; life is getting more difficult for all those who still understand the difference between the truth and a lie. For those of us who know that Jesus and His Holy Catholic Church is the Way, the Truth and the Life. I would not have a life without Christ nor would I want a Life without Christ and the Holy Mass.
An excerpt from the FLOCKNOTE site (free to join) below is from the Testimony of Catalina Rivas, a church approved Stigmatist of our time. She is from Venezuela. She has been filmed by the Fox news people while experiencing the Crucifixion of Our Lord Jesus Christ in her body. I have seen the film several times. The writer of the blog combines Catalinas Testimony with the Sunday Mass Scripture, and the Catechism of the Catholic church. It is published on a weekly basis. I will ask if we can have it fed to our blog.
God is always with us,
Sincerely,

*SUNDAY October 16, 2016** -* *TWENTYNINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME*
*Gospel **- Lk 18:1-8*
Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to *pray
always without becoming weary.*
He said, "There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor
respected any human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and
say, 'Render a just decision for me against my adversary.' For a long time
the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, 'While it is true that
I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps
bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her
lest she finally come and strike me.'"
The Lord said, "Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. *Will not
God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and
night?* Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that
justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he
find faith on earth?"
*The Catechism of the Catholic Church*
*2742 * “*Pray constantly*... always and for everything giving thanks in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.” St. Paul adds, “*Pray
at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.* To that end
keep alert with all perseverance making supplication for all the saints.”
For “we have not been commanded to work, to keep watch and to fast
constantly, *but it has been laid down that we are to pray without ceasing*.”
This tireless fervor can come only from love. Against our dullness and
laziness, the battle of prayer is that of humble, trusting, and persevering
*love.* This love opens our hearts to three enlightening and life-giving
facts of faith about prayer.
*2743* *It is always possible to pray*: The time of the Christian is that
of the risen Christ who is with us always, no matter what tempests may
arise. Our time is in the hands of God:
*2744 * *Prayer is a vital necessity.* Proof from the contrary is no less
convincing: if we do not allow the Spirit to lead us, we fall back into the
slavery of sin. *How can the Holy Spirit be our life if our heart is far
from him?*
*From “Springs of Mercy” Testimony of Catalina Rivas
(SM-4:4,15:3,32:5,58:4,64:5)*
*4:4)* *Do not let anything remove you*, not even one step from this path.
You will have difficulties, insults, reproaches, but the light of the truth
will shine. Without blinding, one by one will convert; you are to simply
pray… *Offer each moment, good or bad to Jesus… for now… only that.*
*15:3)* *Pray much*; *do not tire of speaking*. Did I get tired of calling
you? A soul is worth more than all of the beauty of creation, because it is
part of Me… *Pray much and help all those whom you can*… I too, love you.
So much more since I have elected you so that
while you humble yourself, you exalt yourself and My glory will be greater.
*32:5)* *More, much more prayer is needed*. With or without the mysteries,
if you are physically occupied, you may repeat ejaculations, words,
thinking of the Holy
Trinity or the Blessed Virgin. *But may you be a constant prayer* and a
lasting surrender.
*58:4)* Glorify the Father and win back one soul each day. *Do not tire of
evangelizing with your lives, with continuous prayer…*
*64:5)* *Pray, little children. Pray a great deal more*. *You do not know
how much your prayers help. Without them, everything that is happening
would be a great deal more difficult.*
