The True Church. Where prayer, the relationship between ourselves and God, counted for everything. The Pilgrimage to God through personal holiness. The One True Church Founded by Christ. Not the False Church being Established by Satan today. He would have been struck dumb and horrified by the Rome of today.
Great memories listening to these as I hold my 3 week old grandson thinking about my grandfather. The hymn Faith of Our Fathers struck home. It was the hymn sung as his casket was carried out the great big NYC church we all went to. I was only 11 but I recall it well and the words to it thinking my grandfather lived his faith and taught us. He carried it over to America from his small Dungannon , Co. Tyrone home. And here I am with my 3 week old Theo hoping I can do a bit of what my strong and sweet Irish grandfather , parents and my relatives did for me. Maybe the Americanized tune is different but words the same.
We do well to honour our forefathers. I think Jesus is well pleased with your wise words. Well said Miker. Well said..
Congratulations on the birth of your grandson miker! O blessed are those who fear the Lord and walk in his ways! Your wife like a fruitful vine in the heart of your house; your children like shoots of the olive around your table. Psalm 127
