Crusaders 4 Christ

Fr. Corapi speaking about the call to priesthood.

C4C’s,

What are you doing to fight the good fight? Are you living your life completely for Him? Or are you holding back? If you are wondering when…well now is the time. Give it all to Him and He will give you way more in return then you could ever think of. Did you ever think that Christ may need you to use the gifts that HE gave you? When you die will Christ say to you well done my good and faithful servant, or will He regret ever making you? We need to always be moving forward. Always live in the present moment. Thank God for all that He has given you! There are so many ways that you are needed in the battle for truth, beauty, and the good. Do you have a certain talent or skill Christ has equipped you with that you are leaving  on the wayside? Are you heading in the right direction with your life? Constantly ask yourself these questions along with many others to make sure you are on the path that God wants you to be on. There are many problems that we face in this world today! But do not despair for you are never alone in the battle! Fight the Good Fight!

“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God”
- 1 Corinthians 10:31

God Bless,

Sir Paul

The following is an excerpt from:

Pope Benedict XVI Calls Unity a “Supreme Priority”
The light that comes from God is being dimmed at this moment of history, … says Benedict XVI

VATICAN CITY, MARCH 12, 2009
“In our days, when in vast areas of the world the faith is in danger of dying out like a flame which no longer has fuel, the overriding priority is to make God present in this world and to show men and women the way to God.  The real problem at this moment of our history is that God is disappearing from the human horizon, and, with the dimming of the light which comes from God, humanity is losing its bearings, with increasingly evident destructive effects.”

When I first read these words I was struck hard with the reality that the time we have been given by God is truly a gift and that we have work to do while we are in this world.

It is probably pretty safe to say that the reason the faith is in danger of dying out and the reason that God is disappearing from the human horizon is because we Christians are not doing a good enough job spreading and defending the faith.  Not enough of us are shouting from the rooftops the truth of Christ and His Catholic Church.  Many in our society have become so distracted by the ways of the world and all the entertainment and recreation that comes with it that seeing the importance of God’s presence on the human horizon has become nearly if not altogether impossible.  It is possible for anyone of us to become spiritually blind!

Much of the task to preserve the presence of God in our world sits squarely on the shoulders of us men.  Strong, faithful leadership is essential from the husband/father of a family, the priest of a parish and the bishop of a diocese as well as in every other area of society.  But honorable, noble men do not just grow on trees.  Godly formation and inspiration, body, mind & soul are a must for all men.

Above is an email (from a mailing list) that I received from Doug Barry who is part of www.radixguys.com (please check out their site). You can learn more about Radix here. If you ever have the chance to see Radix I would definitely go. I have seen them a few times now and they are unbelievable. These guys have a rock solid faith.

Remember C4C’s BE STRONG & BE BRAVE! FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!

God Bless,

Sir Paul
