The Church founded by Jesus on Peter the Rock soon had to withstand dissension The disciples were still   human and individual and had much work to do, aided by the Holy Spirit and guided by their knowledge of the Risen Lord,, before  they could unify themselves into Christ's Mystical Body as willed by the Father. Paul and Barnabas had had a very long walk to face a huge disruption of passionate adversaries. There were no "airport bishops" or " monks" then.

Dear Lord  in these days of decline let us be fed by the Eucharist and strengthened by the Holy Spirit to know that we are together with all the world your children and nothing can come to pass that is not willed by you the source of all good.

Is it possible to be a grape on the vine without being in the Church? Can it be that everything that we know to be bad about the Catholic Church is part of God's plan for the Last Days.? Can I come to the Father alone but still be part of the Mystical Body? I know much about wrongs that were hidden but are now revealed although still unacknowledged openly.

Dear Lord send your Holy Spirit to enlighten your Church and let the scandals and sacrileges be sincerely atoned for; let your priests pray and thus come to Holiness that you demand. Let "we are all sinners" not be for our confessors a way of vocation; and let them teach that your Mercy follows sincere repentance and not because you are "nice".
