Words to Live By – From Catholic Tradition

A Remedy for Our Sins during our Time of Apostasy

After our baptism, Our Lord has given us other daily remedies. The Lord’s Prayer is our daily purification. Let us say, and let us say with sincerity because it is an alms in itself: “Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.” Give alms and all things are clean to you.”

St. Augustine, Doctor of the Church, Sermon #261 For the Feast Of The Ascension

Catholic Candle note: It is true at all times of the Church that our sins are remitted through praying the Our Father well. How much more does Divine Providence make the Our Father efficacious for the remission of sins during the present Great Apostasy, when our Loving Heavenly Father has willed to withdraw the Sacraments from faithful and informed Catholics, most of whom do not currently have access to an uncompromising priest!

God has not abandoned us! Rather, He lovingly gives us different efficacious tools to use to help us to save our souls during these apostate times. Read these articles:
