What are the different End Times theories?
What are the Different End Times Theories: Within the Christian Community, many different interpretations of the End Times exist. Most of these interpretations are held only by the fringe Christian groups and are entirely dismissed by both the majority of Christians and apologists. Today, two interpretations of the End Times dominate the Christian Church. The interpretation held by the majority of Protestants and made popular through movies and books is called: Dispensational Eschatology. The interpretation held by most apologists and scholars is called: Partial Preterist Eschatology. These two theories regarding the End Times; Dispensationalism and Partial Preterism, could not be…
Thanksgiving at the End of the day
Thank you, O God for everything that has happened today: for the good things which have made me happy; for the not so good things which have taught me that I can’t always be getting my own way; for successes, to give me happy times to remember; for failures, to keep me humble; for time at school, at games, with my friends and in my own home. And thank you for this minute with you. Amen. …
Ninth Station: Jesus falls a third time
Ninth Station Jesus falls a third time Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Jesus, your journey has been long. You fall again, beneath your cross. You know your journey is coming to an end. You struggle and struggle. You get up and keep going. As a child, sometimes I fail time and time again. I find it hard to get along with my sisters and brothers, sometimes I’m not honest, sometimes I’m lazy. I’m tempted to stop trying. It’s just too hard sometimes. As…

Send down upon us the Divine Consoler, to enlighten our minds and strengthen our wills. Thou, O Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived, have promised to be with Thy Church until the end of time. Give us a mighty Faith…
Seventh Station: Jesus falls the second time
Seventh Station Jesus falls the second time Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world. This is the second time you have fallen on the road. As the cross grows heavier and heavier it becomes more difficult to get up. But you continue to struggle and try until you’re up and walking again. You don’t give up. As a child, sometimes things get me down. Others seem to find things easier to do or to learn. Each time I fail, I find it harder to keep…
Catechism: God’s Spirit and Word in the Time of Promises
702 From the beginning until “the fullness of time,”60 The joint mission of the Father’s Word and Spirit remains hidden, but it is at work. God’s Spirit prepares for the time of the Messiah. Neither is fully revealed but both are already promised, to be watched for and welcomed at their manifestation. So, for this reason, when the Church reads the Old Testament, she searches there for what the Spirit, “who has spoken through the prophets,” wants to tell us about Christ.61 By “prophets” the faith of the Church here understands all whom the Holy Spirit inspired in the…
Third Station: Jesus falls the first time
Third Station Jesus falls for the first time Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Jesus, the cross you have been carrying is very heavy. You are becoming weak and almost ready to faint, and you fall down. Nobody seems to want to help you. The soldiers are interested in getting home, so they yell at you and try to get you up and moving again. As a child, sometimes I start to do something, but then get tired of it. I hurry to get…

Catechism: Prayer In the Fullness of Time
2598 The drama of prayer is fully revealed to us in the Word who became flesh and dwells among us. To seek to understand his prayer through what his witnesses proclaim to us in the Gospel is to approach the holy Lord Jesus as Moses approached the burning bush: first to contemplate him in prayer, then to hear how he teaches us to pray, in order to know how he hears our prayer. …
Catechism: Christ’s work in the liturgy from the time of the Apostles
1086 “Accordingly, just as Christ was sent by the Father so also he sent the apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit. This he did so that they might preach the Gospel to every creature and proclaim that the Son of God by his death and resurrection had freed us from the power of Satan and from death and brought us into the Kingdom of his Father. But he also willed that the work of salvation which they preached should be set in train through the sacrifice and sacraments, around which the entire liturgical life revolves.”9 1087 Thus the…
