Deacon Ward's Almost Daily Message

Last week's tough Catholic question...
The doctrine of the Trinity means:
And the answer is...
And the answer is...
Question 6
a. Wrong, because this is the heresy of Modalism, which says that there is one Person in the Godhead and that Person, so to speak, wears different “masks” according to his different activities.
b. Wrong. This is another nonsense answer. The very word Trinity comes from the prefix for three (“tri”), so you should have seen right away that the Trinity could not be composed of four Persons.
c. Wrong, because this is just a rephrasing, in “gender neutral language,” of 6a.
d. Wrong, because Christians are monotheists and believe in one God, not three. No matter how closely together three gods work, they remain three gods, not one.
e. Correct, because all the other possible answers are wrong.

May God's Light Shine
May God send you
More Strength and Grace,
If you should face
A crisis place.
May God send you
More Love and Light,
If you should face
A stormy night.
May Joy and Peace
Be yours today,
And may God's Light
Shine on your way.
On You Today
(Poem from the Sisters of Mercy) 🌹🌹🌹
Today, we pray for Fathers Robert Little, Joseph Lively, and Steven Marchand of our diocese…and also for
deacons Bill Brown, Bruce Burk and Tom Cass.
“Eternal Father, we lift up to you these and all the priests and deacons of the world.
Sanctify them, heal and guide them.
Mold them into the likeness and holiness
of your Son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest.
May their lives be pleasing to you. In Jesus' name, we pray." Amen.

Gregorian chant in a stairwell sends shivers, goes viral
Here is a video that sends a timeless message: Where charity and love are, God is there.
Kings Return, an a cappella vocal group rooted in Gospel, jazz, R&B and classical music, recently wowed their fans with a rendition of the
classical Latin piece Ubi caritas.
Sung from the heart of an ordinary stairwell, the choral acoustic perfection has gotten a lot of praise — over 14,000 shares and streams of comments, with listeners expressing their heartfelt gratitude: “That brought tears to my eyes …” “Positively breath-taking …” “Heavenly.”
The 8th-century antiphon, often sung on Holy Thursday during the washing of feet, was arranged by the modern Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo. Translated, the piece sends a powerful, timeless message:
Where charity and love are, God is there. Christ’s love has gathered us into one. Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him. Let us fear, and let us love the living God. And may we love each other with a sincere heart.
As of the song’s release on July 3, the Kings Return Facebook page had more than 29,000 followers. They describe themselves as “a vocal band of brothers formed in 2016 from pre-existing friendships.”
They further explain that their band’s name “reminds us to be our brother’s keeper and to pay homage to our King, Jesus, who has Himself promised to return.”
