A LITTLE HISTORY

After 12 years of owning a Catholic Bookstore, and after doing this for 12 years without any salary, I came to the realization that Demonic Infiltration of Souls is everywhere, and that the whole world needs Much More PRAYER, FASTING AND ALMSGIVING!  These are the three STANDARD TRADITIONAL CHRISTIAN PRACTICES which obtain God's graces and blessings for whomever they are offered, and enough intercessory prayer is the missing ingredient in the entire Pro-Life movement!  These three virtuous Christian duties help us to practice FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY! (See 1Cor 13: 13)

"Prayer is a vital necessity.....Nothing is equal to prayer; for what is impossible it makes possible, what is difficult easy....

Those who pray are certainly saved; those who do not pray are certainly damned."

  (Taken from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, in the Article titled "The Battle Of Prayer", paragraph 2744.  Please read the entire article, 2725 - 2745 in the CCC.)

We Christians, who have "good will" (St. Luke 2: 14) toward our fellow man and toward all mankind, need to organize weekly intercessory prayer activities in churches and parishes all over this country and around the world!  We need to turn churches into the "house of prayer" that churches are intended by God to be!  We need to pray for FAMILY MEMBERS, PRIESTS, BISHOPS, MINISTERS, CLERGY, GOVERNMENT LEADERS AND BUSINESS LEADERS.  WHY???  BECAUSE THESE LEADERS MAKE DECISIONS THAT AFFECT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US!!!  MANY DECISIONS ARE IMMORAL, AND THE DECISION MAKERS NEED PRAYER AND FASTING.  NOTHING ELSE WILL WORK to change their hard hearts!

Parent must pray with and for their children, and children must pray with and for their parents!   This type of prayer is TRUE, AUTHENTIC, CHRISTIAN CHARITY, AND THE GREATEST THEOLOGICAL VIRTUE IS CHARITY!!!

SALVATION HISTORY
is recorded in the Bible, and the Bible is written in a Circular-Flashback Mid-Eastern Style of Literature that is very different from Western English Literature.  Western Literature tends to be written in a Linear Time Line Style of progressing in time from one event to the next.  Sacred Scripture circles back, again and again, filling in more details of what was previously said in a previous book of the Bible 

The writers of the Sacred Scriptures purposely keep returning the reader to the Book of Genesis, because the Book of Genesis sets the stage for the other 72 Books of the Bible that follow.  Even Jesus did this when He said, "Have you not read, that he who made man from the beginning, Made them male and Female?" (St. Mathew 19: 4).  If we do not understand the major themes and families in Genesis, then we misunderstand the entire Bible.  It is crucial to study Genesis with the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and everyone can benefit from the set of tapes titled, "In The Beginning" A Study of the Book of Genesis by Dr. Scott Hahn.  This wonderful set of tapes is available from Saint Joseph Communication, 1-800-526-2151 and www.saintjoe.com
