In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.

“Alone. That’s how Satan wants us. Alone with our own tangled thoughts. Alone with his whispered lies that start to sound more and more like truths. Separated from the very people who could speak courage into our deep places flirting with discouragement and defeat. Separated from friends who could let us stand on their faith when our own gets a little shaky. The enemy knows if he can isolate us, he can intimidate us. Confuse us. Deceive us. And ultimately, make us believe that the safer paths in life are ones apart from God and our friends who serve God. Sweet friend, if you have felt isolated recently, I want to encourage you to reach out to that friend who leads you back to God time and time again. If you are longing for a friend like that tonight, turn toward Jesus. Ask Him to send a godly friend your way. And know that I am praying for you to find that kind of friendship too.”

westfailia:

what if a catholic priest were to just bless the entire ocean would it turn the entire thing into holy water or do priests have an effective blessing range? does that range increase based on your level? can the pope bless the entire ocean?

so technically any priest could, but shouldn’t for pooping reasons. 

source: my brother is in his 4th year of study at a catholic seminary, and referred to one of his professors.

Mother Teresa

Quote: “O Jesus, my Love, may my heart be consumed in loving Thee; make me humble and holy; give me childlike simplicity; transform me into thy holy love. O Jesus, life of my life, joy of my soul, God of my heart, accept my heart as an altar, on which I will sacrifice to Thee the gold of ardent charity, the incense of continual, humble and fervent prayer, and the myrrh of constant sacrifices! Amen.” - St. Paul of the Cross

Will you do me a favor and pray for me? I've accidentally sinned multiple really bad sins for two years and now I'm worried about my salvation as well as my life. Please help me reach salvation and reach all my goals, (which are meant to glorify god and to positively impact the world)

Praying for you. Go to Confession this weekend and everything will be fine. xoxo

i love how he also referenced the count of monte cristo + braveheart

The name Saul meets “great one.” The name Paul means “little one.” While making this film, I learned that by changing one little - one tiny letter that we can become great in the eyes of God. But it requires us to be little if we wish to be great. But this is the way of the saints. This is the way of the holy. And this is the way Saul became Saint Paul.
