The basic truth of Catholic faith is not how many masses we have participated and how many times we confessed? Or are you divorced or not; or how many sanctuaries you have visited; or how many rosaries you have said; or how many relics that you have gathered; or how much money you have given for the feasts; or how many priests and bishops you have known.
The basic truth of our being CATHOLIC is this :
John 17:20-26
20 (Jesus) “I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. 22 And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me.
24 Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me. 26 I made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them.”
"HOLY SPIRIT MAKE MY HEART OPEN TO THE WORD OF GOD, MAKE MY HEART OPEN TO GOODNESS, MAKE MY HEART OPEN TO THE BEAUTY OF GOD EVERY DAY". POPE FRANCIS
