Salvation is a woman.

As a stand-alone statement, that looks rather odd.

LOL! “Luck be a lady, tonight”. I heard that one on the radio last night. I guess if luck can be a lady, Salvation can be a woman. :)

Of course! “Salvation” is a feminine noun in Spanish, fwiw :-).

I did not know that. I’d guess that “our” Salvation was at 8:00 mass this fine morning.

Probably.

It’s a cold drizzly morning here. Maybe it will be nicer by the time we go to Mass at 1:00 p.m.

Sun would make the catz happy. The calendar says it’s spring, but I’m not falling for it!

Some denominations appeal to the simple and unlearned, but have trouble keeping the top minds. Others appeal to the educated elite, but lose the masses. Catholicism, on the other hand, is a religion of the greatest minds of history and the religion of ignorant peasants. It is a religion that is complex enough for St. Thomas Aquinas and simple enough for St. Joseph Cupertino. It has room at the manger for both the magi and the shepherds.

WOW!!! That is SO true!!!!The Catholic Church has every answer to all questions....it lacks nothing.

Well said. I just got back from Mass, I found the last paragraph of todays Gospel to be really interesting in lieu of all these discussions on FR. I had heard before a million times but it really stood out to me today.

"Now, Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name."
