Voce mea ad Dominum. Random thoughts from an amateur theologist. Wednesday, November 30, 2005. What exactly is the point that St. Matthew is making? Lord, in your kindness hear our petitions. You called Andrew the apostle to preach the gospel and guide your Church in faith. May he always be our friend in your presence to help us with his prayers. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. Posted by WBB @ 10:41 PM.

I have a method to my prayer. The Church has made it rather easy for us to pray by using what is called The Divine Office or The Liturgy of the Hours. It is an ancient method of praying using the Psalms and canticles from the Old and New Testaments in a four week cycle and consists of Morning Prayer (. This passag...

Voce mea ad Dominum. Random thoughts from an amateur theologist. Sunday, April 30, 2006. To receive or not receive, that is the question. The two disciples recounted what had taken place on the way, and how Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of bread. Today I think I am going to follow the lead of my pastor, Fr. John Talamo, and discuss a somewhat touchy subject, and that is why people who are not Catholic cannot receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Mass. I used to think, "What arrogance! In ot...

Voce mea ad Dominum. Random thoughts from an amateur theologist. Sunday, July 30, 2006. The whole one unity. I have always been somewhat frustrated when I am confronted by a Protestant who says, "The church is never called Catholic in the bible." I have never been able to have an answer to this which was satisfactory for me, until the last few months. Despite the fact that I have been lax at putting my thoughts into writing, the truth is I have continued to be just as contemplative as ever. My wife alway...

Voce mea ad Dominum. Random thoughts from an amateur theologist. Sunday, October 08, 2006. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother. And be joined to his wife,. And the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together,. No human being must separate. Annulments are a sore subject with people. The idea that the Church can declare a marriage null and void, that a marriage never existed, is confusing to people. Questions like, ...Often...

Voce mea ad Dominum. Random thoughts from an amateur theologist. Thursday, March 30, 2006. The LORD said to Moses, Go down at once to your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, for they have become depraved. They have soon turned aside from the way I pointed out to them, making for themselves a molten calf and worshiping it, sacrificing to it and crying out,‘This is your God, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt! So, was the big deal that Israel was worshipping a calf? That accl...
