Written by

RevMcGuire on

HIS Most Gracious Rule as I prepared for today's Spiritual Reflections - I wondered does anyone actually know what the Most Gracious Rule is, and if so why aren't we all following it... as I understand it – it goes something like this - “to Love as HE has Loved us” how much harder could that be, with the very same Grace given to us – by extending Grace just as we have been given and even more so when we may feel like doing otherwise... then and only then can we find HIS WORD upon our hearts and minds, simply because ...

From: healthforlouisiana.blogspot.com

Why the Pro-Life Movement Should Support Health Care Reform Much has been made of Congressman Cao's recent cross-party vote to support the health care reform bill that was passed by the House of Representatives this week, but Cao has been on the side of our health ever since his election.

Theological Reflection: Priesthood of the Believer

Written by

superfly on

Toward a Theology of the Laity I am often asked by my seminary and church colleagues if I feel limited in my calling by not pursuing the path of ordination. The tragedy of such a question is that it misses an important reality of the life of the laity in the church: they are already ordained by their faith and the identity named as their reality in ...
