Jesus’ wounds teach us a lot. In his resurrected, glorified state — Jesus keeps his wounds. Why? And, if Jesus keeps the signs of his wounds in his perfect state — what does that say about us and our wounds, whatever form they take? In at least some cases, can our past weaknesses, our visible (or invisible) wounds come to their perfection in God, for His greater glory and even our own salvation? It may just be possible.🔴  ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in Ireland.

Do you desire fame, either big scale or small scale? So did Sr Clare Crockett, and so does everyone else, to some extent. But this doesn’t have to mean you’re a narcissist, it actually might just mean you’re human.

Are you doing enough to save your soul? At the end of your days, will you face mercy or justice — eternal reward, or eternal punishment? These big questions are wrapped up in the seeming contradiction between justice and mercy. Yet, miraculously, in God we find 100% mercy and 100% justice. In Him, all things come to perfection.🔴  ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in Ireland.

The Enemy loves our distractions, and Church politics can be one of them. True, there is a place for correcting the Church and helping her to fulfil her mission.

"I'm sick of it. Are you not sick of it?" Getting thrown around like a rag doll in life is not fun. Feeling overwhelmed and jolted by every bit of bad news, every negative comment, every fear, anxiety or worry. But it doesn't have to be like that. Don't have your identity hijacked by the Devil and the lies and tumult of the world. Instead, keep it in Christ, and you'll find the glory and peace that you're called to.🔴  ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in Ireland.

How many times do you walk into a Church? Once a year, week or day? Every time, there is an unimaginable amount of grace available, if we just engage our faith. Fr Columba explains door liturgies, why we make the sign of the cross when we enter, what it means to do that with holy water, and how a church can help us to prepare for Heaven, the place it's made to point us to.Donation page for Father's church: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/SPM-Peaks-2023Registration page for Father's fundraiser: https://www.stpatricksmission.co.uk/3-peaks-challenge/🔴  ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in Ireland.

Last week we looked at how to propose, not impose. This week we look in more depth at how to help someone convert, without nagging them. Having a close friend or family member not practise the faith can be very painful, as it should be. The pain of seeing one we love choose to reject Jesus is a great sorrow.

In the darkness of her final days, when she was dying of Tuberculosis and feeling spiritually deserted, St Therese displayed a bold confidence in God.

As Christians, we know we are called to live with high standards. Though it can be easy to talk about them, it can be a lot more difficult to live them out.
