Ever since the beginning of Christianity, one of the main problems was evangelization. How were Christians supposed to propose what they call the “gospel,” the “good news” to all people as Jesus commanded them to (Matt. 28: 19-20)? Most of Jesus’ disciples were [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=civilizationoflove.wordpress.com&blog=1491041&post=140&subd=civilizationoflove&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Being a gift to Christ means to give him what we value most: life. What destroys life, what makes it ugly, is sin. It is ugly because it destroys a friendship, it destroys the relationship with the people you love.

On the topic of silence, the story of Christ and the woman caught in adultery can educate us (Jn. 8:2-11). The scribes and the Pharisees were trying to test Jesus and brought forth a woman who was caught in adultery. The Jewish leaders argued that the Mosaic Law teaches that they must stone [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=civilizationoflove.wordpress.com&blog=1491041&post=123&subd=civilizationoflove&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

“Father, they are your gift to me,” says Christ. How are we a gift to Christ? This means that we are given to Christ from the Father. But how exactly are we given? In theological terms, this is called election. It is being possessed by God.

One of the main problems with Catholics today is not that they do not understand the Mass, but that they seem to limit their spiritual life in it. How do we extend our experiences of the Mass to our workplace, our homes, and our schools? We hear over and over again in homilies [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=civilizationoflove.wordpress.com&blog=1491041&post=121&subd=civilizationoflove&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
