Catholic Parents OnLine

Our Mission:
To build a network of faithful, dynamic, and informed parents, students, and alumni, committed to working with Catholic schools, other programs of education and the community at large, to ensure the authentic teaching and protection of our Catholic Faith, and to address issues that undermine our Catholic Faith and Morals.

Your Soul Belongs to Christ
St. Paul likens our union with Christ to a bride’s devotion to her groom, emphasizing the need for a pure, singular focus on Him. Whether married or single, we are called to love and serve Christ wholeheartedly, allowing our love for Him to enrich our relationships with others. This requires self-examination, identifying areas where we may be holding back or allowing sin to hinder our spiritual growth.

Love God, Not What You Get
The dedication of Solomon’s temple and the people’s desire for healing from Jesus highlight two perspectives: glorifying God and seeking personal gain. While seeking healing is not inherently wrong, the true focus should be on spiritual healing and a deeper love for God. The challenge is to purify our intentions, moving from selfishness to selfless love and charity, ultimately giving ourselves entirely to God.

Leave Everything, Especially Yourself
The Gospel reading emphasizes the importance of leaving everything to follow the Lord, which applies to all, not just those in religious life. This involves dying to self, prioritizing service to others, and embracing obedience, particularly in one’s state of life. True poverty of spirit is about detaching from material possessions and focusing on loving and serving God and others.

Pray for Holy Priests Now
The priesthood is a sacred calling, not a position of entitlement. Priests are called to serve God and His people, acting in persona Christi, and should be revered for their role in administering the sacraments. The lack of holy priests is a problem, and the faithful should pray for priests to be saints, as their holiness will lead to the sanctification of the Church and the world.

Familiarity Can Destroy Your Faith
David’s census reflects a lack of trust in God, highlighting the human tendency to seek control. Familiarity with Jesus led to a lack of faith among his hometown, emphasizing the need for reverence and respect for Him as God. Fr. Altier clarifies that Jesus’s “brothers and sisters” were relatives, not siblings, reinforcing the perpetual virginity of Mary.

The Presentation of The Lord
The Lord, as the high priest, came to the temple to purify it, just as He purifies us, His living temples. By recognizing our dignity as temples of the Lord and striving for holiness, we allow Him to work within us, freeing us from sin and death. This purification enables us to love and glorify Him more perfectly, ultimately leading to our own glorification.

Modern Idols, Ancient Warnings
The prophet Zephaniah calls for humility and repentance, warning of the coming “day of the Lord” when God will intervene in human history. This day can be both good and bad, as seen in the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. The readings emphasize the importance of humility, truth, and goodness, urging us to prepare for Lent by identifying and eliminating idols in our lives and strengthening our prayer life.

Chaos Around You, Peace Within
St. Paul urges us to rejoice in the Lord always, even amidst chaos and trials. True joy comes from focusing on God, our salvation, and heavenly things, rather than worldly possessions and concerns. By rejecting evil and embracing Christ, we can find peace and joy, even in the face of adversity.

The Hardest Death: Yourself
The Gospel reading today emphasizes the importance of being watchful for the Lord’s return, which will come unexpectedly. This unpredictability extends to the trials and tribulations we face in life, which are opportunities for spiritual growth and purification. By enduring these challenges with trust in God’s presence and protection, we can die to ourselves and live for Him, conforming our souls to Christ.

God’s Promise Includes You
God’s promise to build a house for David was fulfilled in Jesus, not through a physical temple, but through a lineage of royalty. This promise extends to all who are members of Jesus Christ, making them part of God’s eternal house. As temples of the Lord, believers are called to bear fruit, reflecting the holiness and worship due to God.

Truth Is Beautiful When It's Lived
St. John Chrysostom, celebrated for his eloquent preaching, exemplified living the faith despite persecution. His life, marked by joy and charity, demonstrated the beauty of the truth he preached. While many teach the truth, few live it as he did, highlighting the need for authentic examples of Christian living to inspire others.

Have You Committed The Unforgivable Sin?
The unforgivable sin is final impenitence, dying unrepentant, or apostasy, rejecting Jesus Christ after knowing the truth. Seeking help from mediums, psychics, or engaging in practices like Reiki healing and tarot card reading is sinful and opens one up to demonic influence. Trust in God and prayer, not Satan, for guidance and protection.

When Anger Betrays Christian Faith
The church challenges us to live our faith, following Jesus’ teachings. St. Paul advises against anger and revenge, urging us to respond to enemies with kindness. In light of the tragedy in Minneapolis, we must avoid anger and division, recognizing human dignity and responding with compassion and understanding.
We are called to treat all people with respect and charity, even those we dislike or disagree with. This is a challenge, especially in today’s world, but it is an opportunity to grow in virtue and be a positive influence, following the example of Jesus Christ. We must examine ourselves and strive to imitate the virtues of the saints, prioritizing peace, healing, unity, and charity.

Do You Have What It Takes?
The gospel reading challenges us to follow Christ truly, not just believe in Him. This requires rejecting a watered-down, easy version of Christianity and embracing the full teachings of the Church, including living out virtues like justice, godliness, and charity. It means dying to self, carrying our cross, and making God the absolute priority in our lives.

Be Ready at the Unexpected Hour
The Gospel reading emphasizes the importance of being prepared and vigilant for the Lord’s return, as the timing is uncertain. This preparation involves being in a state of sanctifying grace, focusing on prayer, and striving to do God’s will rather than our own. While we may not be perfectly ready, having the right disposition and actively working towards holiness is crucial.

When Doing Good Provokes Hatred
The Gospel reading highlights the Pharisees’ misunderstanding of God’s work, as they prioritize their interpretation of the Sabbath over the life-giving act of healing. This story challenges us to question our own assumptions and see things from God’s perspective, recognizing that His ways and timing are often beyond our comprehension. We are called to be patient, faithful, and trust in God’s promises, even when they don’t unfold as we expect.

Can Comfortable Christians Endure?
Fr. Altier emphasizes the importance of learning from the saints’ endurance and faith, particularly in the face of persecution and suffering. He encourages individuals to view their own struggles as opportunities for growth in virtue and holiness, urging them to cooperate with God’s grace and avoid making excuses for their shortcomings. By doing so, one can develop a stronger faith and potentially be counted among the saints.

The Shekinah, or glory cloud, represents the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence within each baptized believer. While the cloud overshadowed Moses and the apostles, it also dwells within us, enabling us to speak face-to-face with God. However, we must remove the barriers of sin and selfishness that block this intimate union, allowing God’s light to shine through us and transform us into His likeness.

Divination Is Rebellion Against God
The Gospel reading emphasizes the distinction between the old and new covenants, highlighting that the fullness of truth revealed by Jesus Christ surpasses the Old Testament. While the moral laws remain unchanged, the ritual laws have been fulfilled and replaced. The first reading warns against sins like divination and presumption, which are still considered mortal sins and a rebellion against God.

Burying Truth Hinders Spiritual Growth
The gospel reading highlights the Jewish people’s inability to recognize Jesus as the Messiah, despite acknowledging the presence of prophets. This refusal to accept the truth of Jesus’ identity extends to modern times, where people often acknowledge His divinity but struggle to accept the implications for their own lives. Embracing the full truth of Jesus’ identity, including His suffering and resurrection, means accepting the call to share in His glory through suffering and living a life of faith.
