THE CATHOLIC ESSENTIALS;
A FRANCISCAN LIVING ROOM RETREAT
 With great humor and
insight, Fr. Angelus Shaughnessy invites us to lay aside all distractions
and accompany him as he follows after Christ. Fr. offers us the pure tenets
of Catholicism, as lived and taught by the heroes of his beloved Franciscan
order. The path to God, taken in simplicity by St. Francis and St. Anthony,
beckons to us as well.

A
FRANCISCAN LIVING ROOM RETREAT CONSISTS OF THIRTEEN TOPICS:
1. WHY STAY CATHOLIC?
Why be Christian in the first place.
We have as much of the Holy Spirit as we love the Church. (St. Iraneaus)
2. JESUS CHRIST: The Greatest Psychologist
The Supreme Psychiatrist
The Sacrament of Penance: The Sacrament of Christian maturity.
The most neglected Sacrament
3. THE HOLY EUCHARIST: The Only Legitimate
Addiction In This World.
Not even God Himself could have given us any more.
“The world could sooner live without he sun than it could live without the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.” (Blessed Padre Pio)
4. SUFFERING: Why Bad Things Happen to Good
People.
Our God whispers to us in our pleasures; He shouts to us in our pains. No
one stays just a good egg; either we hatch or we go rotten. (C. S. Lewis)
5. LOVE: The Most Used, Overused, Misused,
Abused, Misunderstood Word In the English Language.
The only thing that is divine in this world: LOVE!!
LOVE is the only word in the vocabulary of God.
Our God speaks only one word: LOVE!
6. MARY: Not Even god Could Have Made Her
Any Better,
Our Church has a Mother!
It was Mary who kept us forever from worshipping an abstract Christ.
(Coventry Patmore)
7. THE HUMBLE HEART: The Only Thing Jesus
Asks Us to Cultivate.
Only the Grateful are Happy.
Only the Humble are Grateful.Only the Humble are Happy. |
8.
PRAYER: Watching God, Allowing God, To Love Us. God is Love. Exposure to
God is exposure to Love
To be loved is our greatest need.
9. JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED: If That Is God On
The Cross, What Else Is
There In This World?
He was reckoned among sinners.
He was reckoned a sinner.
He became sin!
10. WHAT CHRIST DID FOR WOMEN: Chivalry was
born on Christmas day
What women have done for Christ.
No one in history has understood women better than Jesus Christ.
11. THE CATHOLIC PRIEST: Makes God So
Available As To Make God Edible
If we truly understood the vocation of the priest, we would die not of
fright, but of love. (Saint John Mary Vianney)
Saint Augustine: “To restore a soul to the Life of god is a greater
accomplishment than the creation of the world.
12. CHRSTIAN PURITY AND CHASTITY:
Only the chaste are Happy!
The chaste are seldom chased after!
Spare us, Lord, from using people who we should be loving.
Spare us, Lord, from loving things which we should only be using.
Why ae so many people depressed?
13. PEACE AND JOY: The Farwell Gifts Of
Jesus To Us.
Peace may well be the best translation for Joy…..In the third Millennium.Joy
is the infallible sign of the Christian.
A Christian has only one duty: to be full of joy.
St. Francis: “It is for the devil and his ilk to be sad, but for us always
to rejoice in
the Lord.”
Do not expect peace anywhere without forgiving hearts.
