Carmencita Vettori that’s a very nice practice it used to be in Hungary this way for sometime but they changed it sadly, multinational companies liked the idea to Work Sundays all day long

Same with Chick-fil-a in the United States

America used to be that way up until the 1990’s when stores and businesses started being open on Sunday.

Oh man... The answer about Lucifer represents so well why I could neber be Catholic (with respect)- that answer about Mary has no grounding in scripture at all. There are so many beautiful things about the Roman tradition but this exalting of Mary is nit one of them.

I am convinced that the end of the Blue Laws in the United States was beginning of the unraveling of Christian life in our society.

awesome answer! tell her that her name, Maria, is the name of the Virgin Mary in portuguese: Maria, Virgem Maria, Santa Maria

That’s so beautiful. You know yes Mary literally held the light that is Christ our Lord. It’s my oldest Son’s birthday tomorrow. He’s all grown up and in the last part of his twenties now. I remember when my first Wife was pregnant with him. I used to love feeling him kick while he was inside her Womb. That always reminded me of when Mary met Elizabeth and Elizabeth was pregnant with John the Baptist. The verse says of Elizabeth that the ‘child moved within her’. It was as if even while still in utero John recognised this was Jesus, the light of the World who was even then coming into the world. I love thinking of Mary as the new light bearer because as the Father says here Lucifer rebelled and pridefully disobeyed God. However Mary humbly accepted God’s will for her and her life and thanks be to God our Saviour Jesus Christ was born into this World to save sinners like ourselves.

@@murderface3r , like me my youngest Son is of Goan Portuguese extraction. He has taught himself Portuguese and has studied in Portugal with Surrey University. We have a wonderful Portuguese family who live on our road.

That’s a title of St Joseph, light custodian too

@Michaleleer do you have pictures of family hung up in your home? What of family members who have passed away? Do you never speak to those pictures or simply look at them and say something hoping tjey could hear you? If so, is that worshipping them as idols? "Oh grandma, I know you're looking out for me, please help deal with this situation which I know you're familiar with." That's not worshipping that's asking intercession, there's a BIG difference.

I want that wan answered too

+owen Spisak Me too!! And do we each only have one or can we have more than one?

+jeanpaulabshire Guardian angels don't leave us when we get to heaven, they are waiting for us there to join them.

+Sweet Heart You can have more than one, and what's really cool is that we can pray to become closer to them and ask how many we have and what their names are.

+Julia Lindell Just wanted to say that the Church emphasizes extreme caution on asking for names of your guardian angel or even naming them yourself (which some do). This can be very dangerous.

No, she doesn’t. Do you have a chapter and verse for that in the Bible? Because if you don’t your imagination is lying to you and you, in turn, are lying.

I get how you feel. I don't understand why people with other religions always bash and criticize Catholics. "Why do you believe in this" "why do you believe in that" or " you're wrong about this or that". Man, I don't criticize other religions or tell them they are wrong in what they believe. I have been questioned numerous times and I get angry with myself because I haven't been able do "defend" my religion or haven't been able to respond to their questions. I've felt as if I'm being attacked. This is why I want to learn more about my religion and be able to defend my faith. I have a looooong way to go. There is so much I don't know. 😕

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dn1tWuIoZsg.html This guy is amazing if you have the time. Very scriptural and really helped me understand where these doctrines are in the bible.

@The Lesser Confessor please sr. Respect the protestan, every one deserves a little of respect. So catholics are the church of Jesus? No, the real church was the one the apostle create by preaching the word to the world, they die preaching the word in the street, these new churches didnt even go to the streets to preach the word but in the other side the protestant they are always on the streets like Jesus did, like the apostle did, like a real christian, so every church had bad and good. Dont come here saying" satan create protestant" when they are better christians than you.

@@Jmiguel175 you are right, Catholic should not bash Protestants and Protestants should not bash Catholics... Our division has driven so many from Christianity, persecution by fellow Christians is heart breaking. It is time for Christians - Catholics and Protestants to pray for unity, to find what we agree on..."a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand"

@@BlessYouAngel is not about unifying religions or doctrines, is about reading the bible and follow what the bible says no matter if someone has a diferent point of view, if your point of view is not validated by the bible then you are wrong. Everyone wants to have a diferent opinion on the gospel and thats what bring us to these and all these religions and cults. Is not our opinion is what the bible said period.

Bc he knows that YOU are strong enough to manage it. Not everybody can. God must believe in you

@@abri_xxx, why should she have to? Shouldn't the almighty God who demands praise and worship be a little more on top of things like this?

@@HELLH0WND I don't say she has to. It could be ONE explanation.

My advice to you is pray to God, and only to God. In Deuteronomy, Jesus tells the Israelites: your God is one. In John 17:3 Jesus calls the Father the only true God. It's clear that you are struggling with this. I'm telling you that the reason is, because it isn't right. I advise you to check out Islam. It makes sense, and it's clear. And all answers are clearly given to all your questions, straight from God, in the Quran. No intermediary needed. No priest, no church, no human, no confusion. If you have questions, I'll try my best to answer them to the best of my knowledge.

lol .... Mystery explained! I wondered why he always does that.

I can give you the Muslim answer if you would like... It's a smart question, yet easy to answer for Muslims. I don't know how it would be answered from a Christian view though.

@@bishrn Sure, I would love to hear what you’d say from that perspective.

Lauren Hammons in my experience, most homilies have to do with the reading of that day.

He is a person and he actually talks😅

I posted this 3 months ago. NOT one catholic has replied! Why???? Catholics claim Sunday is a holy day made by God. I will ask these questions again which NO ONE can answer. And I know you will NOT!!! Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE RESTED on the First day of Creation?--(to make the day special). Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE BLESSED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special). Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE SANCTIFIED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special). Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE NAMED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special). Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE DECLARES the First day of the week as HIS HOLY DAY?--(to make the day special).

We honor the day Christ was raised from the grave. We call it The Lord's Day. Hope that answers your question.

@@sandybunns6161 quote---We honor the day Christ was raised from the grave. We call it The Lord's Day. Hope that answers your question.--unquote But, OBVIOUSLY you DO NOT care what God calls it. The FIRST day of the week and ONLY THAT!!! Whay day does SAY is HIS HOLY DAY???? THAT IS WHAT IS most important!! Isaiah 58:13 13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on MY HOLY DAY; and call the sabbath a delight, the HOLY of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: THE ONLY DAY GOD SAYS IS HIS HOLY DAY--SAbbath--The ONLY day GOD SAYS IS THE SABBATH IS the seventh day!!!

I used to struggle with this a lot. Then I was once told that reading scripture is the best way of listening to God speak to us. It's amazing! Scripture is the Living Word, we can read the same passage so many times and each time God whispers different things to us as new things stand out when we read it.

Thanks for letting me know. I didn't think I would even get a response from anyone. What you said is a good way to think about hearing God's voice. Thanks again for the tips. God Bless.

Colin DeHaven Im glad to have helped!!! Reading scripture daily really helps me in my spiritual growth (:

I know what you mean. I've heard the best way to hear God is by disconnecting yourself from everything and not think of anything and to be in silence but like you said, I think that I'm just listening to myself thinking. It's really hard 😕

chaveochoa Yeah its tough

Such good ideas! Thanks for pointing out making others work on Sunday.

+macben de souza Best thing to do is pray, anything that brings you closer to God will help you see what his plan is for your life. There are some really cool resources online to increase your prayer life, just Google it

+Julia Lindell I can pray but I find it difficult to keep quiet and listen to God and what he wants to tell me instead of me doing all the talking. thanks for the reply though :)

+OrganicOrganist Thanks for sharing your perspective. Personally I think of prayer as a two-way thing, I consider my relationship with God as something like a friendship. If I had a friend who always talked but never listened it would be hard to continue a relationship with them, but these are just my thoughts.

I used to wonder this all the time. I think the best way to listen to God is by reading scripture, especially the gospels and the rest of the New Testament.

macben de souza O sweety .seek and you shall find .Knock and the door will be opened .Im older.I know the answer .When i was younger I didn't hears God voice .I started really getting in to my bible .There is a proverb for every day then i would end it with a pslam and then I would do my prayers .I asked for it .Lord let me hear your voice .Help me in my day .Well he didnt use a mega phone .Its like this .If you are in the military, and you squad , is practicing with a nother squad ..The voice you hear out in the field is your captians voice .not the other teams captian .Because you only hear what your captian is saying ..Same with sports .If im out on the field .My captain is yelling for me to do this with the ball .yes im going to do it .I pay no mind to the other teams coach.Only to mine .Thats how God works .So ask him Lord please let me hear you !then you will one way or the other .He will never leave you .He is always there .He is Your God .We are his people GBU

CASEY KEELEY We are no longer under Mosaic Law.

Jesus Himself said "I have not come to abolish the teaching (meaning the 'mosaic law' as you say), but to fulfill it" Jesus followed mosaic law, so what right do we have to not do it ourselves? I intend no disrepect by my comment, I was merely pointing out that the day of rest was established in Genesis and not in the Ten Commandments. I am not being a troll.

UnratedAwesomeness SAY THANK YOU FATHER FOR HEARING MY PRayer. Just like Jesus did. Thank him in the name of our Lord and be good to Others just like God is good to you. God bless you.

Help someone without, someone in need and you will be blessing His Name like he blessed you. "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

Pray the Rosary daily, that’s literally praying with Our Blessed Mother to Jesus and ask St. Joseph to help you get to know her more, no human person has ever been devoted to Our Blessed Mother more than St. Joseph. He’ll guide you to Jesus through Mary.
