THIS WEEKS YOUTUBE VIDEO
DO CATHOLICS BELIEVE IN FAITH ALONE?


Father Paschal takes us through what
"Faith alone" means and the
Catholic teaching on the question.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus said:
 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord', will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but the one who does the will of
my Father who is in heaven".

This is a clear teaching from Jesus,
Father Paschal explains, that faith
alone is not sufficient for salvation.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

Gracious and loving God, we thank You
for the gift of our priests, help them to
be strong in their vocation and become instruments of Your love and grace.

Send Your Holy Spirit to give courage and guidance to all You are calling to the Priesthood, Diaconate and Religious
Life in our Archdiocese.

May those called, hear Your voice, and respond wholeheartedly to become the person You have created them to be.

Heavenly Father, form us all in the
likeness of Your Son, Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd, so that we may love You more deeply and serve You more faithfully.

We ask this through Christ Your Son,
the Eternal High Priest.

AMEN
