The Glorious Catholic Church

 The whole country is in love with our brother St. Leopoldo.......




 The Altar is in shape of a Ciborium ......beautiful and amazing


 The Bishop is explaining the history of the Church




 The Crucifix is very ancient.......

 The Crucifix speaks a lot...just need to stand in silence and prayer and He speaks to our mind and heart....

 These holy objects remind of the glorious moments in the Catholic Church

 The Cathedral has a museum filled with many ancient Holy objects used for the celebration of the Eucharist.....

 These portraits are very ancient...some of them go back to 12th Century



 St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clara....

 The Body of Blessed Hossana....Montenegro

 The General Minister celebrated this morning Holy Eucharist preached homily on the day's Gospel....At the Gospel reading which comes as the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew's Gospel, we are reminded that it is not enough to just call on the Lord. What is key to entering the kingdom of heaven is "doing the will of my heavenly Father." We pray for this every time we pray the Lord's prayer, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.." At the Last Supper Jesus repeatedly told his disciples, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." (Jn 14: 15) At his Agony in the Garden the night before he died, Jesus repeatedly prayed, "Not my will but yours be done." (Lk 22: 42)
In the Gospel reading, comparing our following of Jesus to building a house, Jesus tells us that our lives would be built on rock if we hear and follow him; our lives would be built on sand if we do not follow his commandments.
