Go Rebuild My ChurchGO REBUILD MY CHURCH -There is a Pattern!This week, Peter and Leslie discuss what they believe is the most important call from the Holy Spirit to the American Church: to move from maintenance to mission! According to the latest statistics, Catholic weddings have decreased significantly since 1970. Only one-third of Catholics believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, and seventy percent of American Catholics do not practice their Faith. This backdrop calls for a re-examination of how the Church was built, as seen in the Acts of the Apostles. Just as the Lord gave Moses a pattern for building the Tabernacle in the Wilderness...

2024-07-0227 minGo Rebuild My ChurchA Call To Intercession Part IIIIn this last three-part series, Peter and Leslie discuss the call to rebuild and renew the ministry of intercession here in our American Catholic Church. Citing the High Priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17, examples from the Acts of the Apostles, and finally in the life of a famous saint, the Doanes believe that joining our Lord in heaven as committed intercessors, the Catholic faith can begin to address the issues of poor leadership, disunity, and persecution from the world system. Throughout salvation history, there have never been unique strategies or human willpower that have brought lasting results. Instead...

This week, Peter and Leslie share the High Priestly Intercession of our Lord as recorded in John's Gospel, chapter 17. Here, we can discover the Lord's heart revealed through intercession. This will lead us to know what priorities we should take...

Living our Catholic life according to the liturgical calendar helps us be the people Jesus talked about- to be in the world, but not of it! The Doanes discuss the Octave of Christmas and how the Church has given us special feasts to experience the Lord and His graces within that period. Specifically, the feast of the Holy Family teaches us truths concerning the family that are desperately needed in the day we live. The family is under attack from all th...

The Doanes give a historical and theological background for our celebration of Christmas and the Christmas Season. Over time, the seed of secularism has seeped into our celebration of Christmas not only in the culture at large but also in the Catholic Church.

2024-07-0127 minGo Rebuild My ChurchThe Advent and Christmas Seasons-Part IIIThis week, Peter and Leslie continue a short series on the Advent and Christmas Seasons. The Doanes give a historical and theological background for our celebration of Christmas and the Christmas Season. Many have bought into the narrative that Christmas is celebrated on December 25 to replace a pagan holiday. To the surprise of many, this may not be historically accurate! Early Church writings indicate something different. Along with its history, Christmas celebrates one of the great dogmas of the Catholic Faith- the Incarnation. This week, we discuss exactly why the Faithful bow before the Lord at every Mass on...

The next step after encountering the Lord Jesus is building a personal relationship with Him. That relationship will become the basis for us to develop "our story" of how Jesus changed our lives. The question becomes, when and where does the Lord want me to share my story? How will I know the time is right? Sacred Scripture teaches a powerful metaphor- the Open Door!

When St. Peter confessed that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the Living God, he took the first step necessary to follow Jesus. But that would only be the beginning. Following Jesus would mean developing a personal relationship with Him. This would take place on the Lord's terms and not Peter's. So, with us, we are called not only to make an initial commitment to our Lord but also to follow the pattern we see in St. Peter. We are also called to develop a...

When Jesus first spoke of building His Church, he did so at Caesarea Phillipi, where paganism, perversion, idolatry, and the "gates of hell" were fully displayed. There, St. Peter made his prototype confession of who Jesus was, the Christ, Son of the living God! There, Jesus said He would build His Church, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it.

This church received the most severe rebuke and warning from Jesus Christ. But also, they receive abundant hope if they repent! Jesus said that He stood at the door and knocked. This becomes the way out of their severe condition of syncretism and He offers them communion and fellowship if they will open the doors of their hearts and lives. So, too, we, as 21st-century Catholic Christians, must follow the example of these first-century Catholics! If we take specific steps t...

When Jesus speaks to them, He commends them for their endurance, hatred of evil, labor, and doctrinal purity. But, they have a severe flaw-they have left their "first love."

He was staying in rented quarters, chained to a Roman soldier, yet receiving all who came to him, proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching all about the Lord Jesus Christ.

Behind the scenes, he wrote four powerful epistles during this time. In this last chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, even though Saint Paul is in chains, the Lord used him in powerful ways to lay the foundation of our Catholic church. If we are to join Paul and affirm the building of the church, we, too, are called to participate and affirm those principles that he established through these prison epistles.

During the storm at sea, St. Paul exhibits seven powerful traits that helped him during this harrowing event. We, too, face the storms of life.

Jesus encourages him to "not be afraid," the powerful challenge we continue to hear throughout the Sacred Scriptures. In today's culture, we hear the call to be courageous and "not be afraid." As we rebuild our Catholic culture in personal life, family life, and parish life, the gift of the Holy Spirit ministers courage to those who open their hearts to the Lord, just as St. Paul did in Corinth!

Jesus told the Samaritan woman, " True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth." Catholic worship is most perfectly experienced in the Sacrifice of the Mass.

He and his new disciples, Timothy and Silas, venture out but have a surprise from the Lord! He does not allow them to go where they had determined was God's guidance. The Holy Spirit refuses to let them proceed with their initial plan. So, too, with us, the Lord sometimes guides us in a different direction than we had planned. In the Acts of the Apostles, we discover seven ways the Holy Spirit gives us divine guidance!

Here, Barnabas, along with Saul of Tarsus, settles in Antioch and teaches a great number of people for one year. We see that catechesis was critical for the building of this parish. For our parishes to become strong in the Faith, like Antioch, we must rebuild by bringing the family into the center of our approach to catechesis.
