If we let Christ enter fully into our lives, if we open ourselves totally to him, are we not afraid that He might take something away from us? Are we not perhaps afraid to give up something significant, something unique, something that makes life so beautiful? Do we not then risk ending up diminished and deprived of our freedom? And once again the Pope said: No! If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great. No! Only in this friendship are the doors of life opened wide. Only in this friendship is the great potential of human existence truly revealed. Only in this friendship do we experience beauty and liberation. And so, today, with great strength and great conviction, on the basis of long personal experience of life, I say to you, dear young people: Do not be afraid of Christ! He takes nothing away, and he gives you everything. When we give ourselves to him, we receive a hundredfold in return. Yes, open, open wide the doors to Christ – and you will find true life. Amen.”

HIS HOLINESS, Pope Benedict XVI
(homily at the beginning of his Pontificate, 24 April, 2005)

Michael,

Wouldn´t you talk with a brother (me) about this outstanding, marvelous and incredible priest, Padre Pio? I would like to encourage you to tell us, and this go to the other members of this group, what you exactly know about Padre Pio, and how this knowledge affects you in your life as a Christian.

YBIC,

Jorge (welcome, man!)

I am a revert to the catholic faith, returning in 1986 plus I was battling addictions, booze, drugs and porn. Its been a long tough but rewarding journey. I am researching starting a catholic purity support group website for Catholics struggling with addiction to lust. I am teaming up with our parish priest because he mentioned in his homily recently "You would not beleive how many men I know who are addicted to porn."
He asked me to tell my transformation/recovery story at the monthly men spirituality meeting in August. I have been free from "meism" since 2/13/2007, by the grace of God and fellowship.
So I am here as a witness to the power of the sacramental life and fellowship in helping one overcome addiction.

Jesus, I trust in you,
Chris

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the contact. Psalm 139 is also my wife's favorite. Yesterday on the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary our respect life committee and our KOC council sponsored prayers at the memorial to the unborn at our two local Catholic cemeteries. Today I smoked a turkey and others did the rest for Fathers' Dad.

God bless, Carl
