The Good Things in my Life are here because of God. God is Gracious enough to allow me to get through the struggles that I have in my Life and see things the way that I see them with the aid of my Catholic Faith. To Me. . . The Catholic Faith & The Catholic Church are one in the same but at the same time two separate entities. The Church is a place to practice, to learn, to guide me but my Faith is proof of my Love from God, Love for God and Love shining through God. As well as my personal relationships are through trusting in Jesus and receiving his Sacraments which are by his instruction. Furthermore. . . The path to Heaven is by Gods Grace Through Faith Alone and if it is by Faith that we get to Heaven then Faith & Works, are one in the same for the Love of the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit as is spoken with the Greatest Commandment. —Matthew 22:35-40—Mark 12:28-31— Luke 10:25-28 Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God, The Lord is One; Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, before also referring to a second commandment, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Is not Love an Action. . . Is not Love . . . Works. We receive(Action) Gods Grace by Works of Faith. Love. And if Faith alone is the way then why does the book say James 2:14-26 Faith Without Works Is Dead Some will say, Is that all that you have, one place in the bible where it speaks of works? To that I say, Is not one enough!? But I have more. . . John 14:15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. Luke 10:27 And He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” John 6:28-29 Then they said to Him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.” And therefore He has asked of us to do His works and through that you will show your Faith. I Corinthians 13:2 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. So in summary, Faith & Works are United as One and the path to Heaven is made possible through Gods Grace which is by Faith and Ones Faith is alive through Love of Christ which in is the work of God and Works is the key joined with the keyhole of Faith and that opens the Gates of Heaven by Gods Grace. This has all progressed from reading this amazing story about fellow Catholic. . . Mark Wahlberg. en.catholic-link/2014/09/09/from-prison-to-faith-the-conversion-of-mark-wahlberg/
