@ithought_iwas2 @Blackie_sommy How did you see the Easter Vigil Mass?

@Blackie_sommy On my way already

The Catholics sure have a community that’s built on love and respect, because the kind of DMs and comments I got from this post is enough to make me want to stay

@Ony1nyechi @FrUgochukwu What! You tried o I've never ever gone for Mass in the morning after attendance a Vigil Mass. Abeg, no be me sell Jesus for 30 pieces of silver 😂

@FrUgochukwu Omooo I went for vigil mass, came back by 3am and still left by 5am for the early morning mass which my choir covers. Safe to say I slept all day yesterday, my family is used to it, so nobody disturbed me. My voice is still a gunners 😂

This photo is a perfect description of Catholic Priests, Choristers, Lectors and other liturgical functionaries after the activities of the Holy Triduum and Easter😂

@Sir_Ohms @UnkleAyo "You get right pass son of the soil ke?" Do you even know what you're saying?

@UnkleAyo As Nwa Nwa, you get right pass son of the soil. In igbo land, you dare not mess with nwa nwa. In fact in igbo land, when an nwa nwa have issues with his uncles or kinsmen, he goes to his motherside and sick for help, those ones are ready to kill for Nwa nwa

I have never posted a picture of mine associating with my maternal roots, which is Igbo - and have Igbo people sling expletives at me. Instead, they remind me - that I have as much claim to the soil. Trust my fellow kinsmen to steadily remind me that I'm a tainted blood. 😂

@Oluwapelumi_SMM I got 7 abi rejection emails early last year. E no funny

Why am I so scared because I want to start applying to scholarships? I’m scared of rejection so much…. I’ve been beating myself up because I wished I should have maintained my 2:1 now I’m at the back of the line.😔 Omooooo

@JJNHLNFLetc @BoCamaro It's a matter of legality. God is merciful, but at the same time he is a judge. The wages of sin is death. Our wages for sin is actually death. God has standards and they do not change. He honors his word more than anything. Christ died on our behalf... so we may be free

@BoCamaro Not even trying to be a dick, why did God have to put his son through that when all he had to do was erase all sin with a swipe of his hand?

So I watched "The Passion of the Christ" last night. And I am on my back deck tonight thinking. Think about this. In the movie, they have beaten him to near death and when they first take him to his cross, Jesus clings to it, and the thief chastised him for embracing his own cross. Mocking him for doing so. Then Christ gave all he had to carry that cross which weighed as much as him.. They beat him while he did. It came to the point that his physical body couldn't carry it any longer, so a man was ordered to carry it with him. Yet Christ still clung to the cross. Do you know why? Because he knew at the other end of that short journey was OUR freedom. Not his.... OURS..... with every single step, with every drop of blood, with every single tear, he knew he was one moment closer to being at the right hand of the Father and his mission complete to free us all. The man embraced the cross. Begged God to forgive the men nailing him to it. Begged God to forgive those that had beaten him with whips and canes and hammered a crown of thorns on his head. He embraced it all.... for US...... And now, when times get hard and life gets even slightly uncomfortable, we claim that "God isn't listening and won't take my burden" as if we even know what a real burden is... How many times would we cling to the proverbial cross for another and suffer as he did to free them from the pain? Would we ever do it at all? Maybe for our own child? Maybe? As you lay down tonight, pray a prayer of thanks. Not for the normal things. Not tonight. Tonight, pray a special prayer of thanks that he held on to that cross and carried it as far as his mortal body would allow... because that took more dedication than any of us could give for anyone. By the time you wake up in the morning, he will have risen, 2000 years ago. He will have beat death. 2000 years ago, all the sin you and I will ever commit was paid for because he clung to that cross like it was a lifeline.... not for him... But for you and me.

@MerinPuthussery @CatholicArena This has no business with Hindu. You can talk about hindu without Ripon on the Catholic church

@CatholicArena An ancient practice of India where Hindu deities (present in the idols) meet each other during festivals on a specific day of the year

One of the beautiful traditions of Holy Week is where Jesus and Mary rush to meet one another after His Resurrection. ✝️

@ChiefLyffBoxx Wait! Someone actually said this? 😂😂 Happy Easter jare

“Catholic people will be doing as if Jesus Christ died for only their church.” Ehhhhh So, you believe He died (For all of mankind, of course) right? Ok. To have died, it means He was born too, right? Ok. But you don’t even respect or rate His mother at all. So, you seeeeeee?.

@mauve_frances @frmarcellinus This is beautiful Omor

Catholics, a photo of the sanctuary of your church please 😊.

@perolaashu @TheOgoniboy Thank you Sir Happy Easter

@Prince_Of_Code @TheOgoniboy It’s my reality in the last couple of years. Lol. Happy Easter!

Attend tonight's Vigil Mass of the Resurrection. You'll love it. It's the most beautiful celebration ever!

@StandPoints_ @MrMekzy_ Rest abeg

@MrMekzy_ Bro… this is tradition, not godly or Christ‑like. We need Bible‑based teaching, not church practices shaped by pagan traditions.

Good Friday procession in Malaga, Spain. The Catholic Church has so much Aura.😍❤️🙏🏾

@bob46446691 @Sachinettiyil Can you guys just let us be? They're being baptized already.

@Sachinettiyil How about become born again, as Jesus actually required?

Catholic France 🇫🇷 Easter Vigil Mass in France, where over 21000 people will become Catholic. Video: Marin Laflèche

@frmarcellinus We started ours by 7pm and Mass ended around 10pm 3 new people joined the Church in my Parish The Bishop was the Chief celebrant. Enjoyed every bit of it. But I just wished we started later, say around 10pm But insecurity has to be avoided at all cost

We remember our brothers and sisters in the various states in Nigeria that had to bring forward their Easter vigil mass to 6:00 pm, due to the massacre of Christians in the region by Islamic elements. May the Lord grant them safety and be their protection.

@perolaashu @TheOgoniboy You want to experience 2 Easter Vigil Masses in 1 year 😂 I'll try this next time because, honestly, the Easter Vigil Mass hits differently. From the Procession, to the Gloria, and then the renewal of vows. I love it here

@TheOgoniboy It varies from parish to parish. I just left one parish who started at 6pm and going to one starting at 10pm.

@Ranger5052 @Vitus_osst Jesus offended? Offended who exactly?

@Prince_Of_Code @Vitus_osst And it’s seems to me Jesus spoke about Righteousness, and he was definitely in the face of sin and evil- he offended. John the Baptist definitely offended. The disciples and early Christian’s offended.

Behold the most Powerful, Spiritual and Historical religion in the world 🌍 " THE CATHOLIC CHURCH "

@Ony1nyechi @UcheMaryOkoli Honestly I took Lent a bit more serious this year (not really serious as I should honestly), but I know I couldn't have even cared about it at all if not for the constant push I was getting feom Twitter here

@UcheMaryOkoli No but it will definitely tone down a bit The first day of lent (Ash Wednesday)revived something in us and I hope it continues

Catholic twitter has been super amazing this whole Lenten season. I really wish we can continue to grow the community even after Easter.

@Ranger5052 @Vitus_osst "All the Churches seem to think..." Really? I'm in Nigeria and Catholic missionaries actually have us some of our first good hospitals, clinics, schools and even now. So I really don't know where you're getting your narratives from

@Prince_Of_Code @Vitus_osst All the churches seem to think it is better to go along with the current will/wants of society instead of confronting and healing society. Jesus caste out the money changers and confronted the Sanhedrin, the pope praising Islam is grand naïveté.

@Ranger5052 @Vitus_osst You're deflecting, and you know it. And yes, in Catholicism, no Christianity, the Pope still remains a force you can't just shove to the background. The power isn't just on him. He has that power by virtue of his office/position

@Prince_Of_Code @Vitus_osst The Pope is no more important than any one else and he definitely doesn’t speak for God- otherwise 1,000s of priests would not have been raping kids for all those years.

@_edwin_cole This is what happens when we feel the need to share on much on social media. If does all she listed as a surgical resident, then she's super strong, but it also means her husband isn't helping her out.

Someone asked if your partner “assists” and your response essentially is “He prefers WE pay to get it done but this has not been successful, so i’m stuck with being a full time house wife + full time surgical resident. Again, does not sound like your husband does much.

@severegrace @UcheMaryOkoli I understand. This is actually a different discussion altogether

@Prince_Of_Code @UcheMaryOkoli This may be an interesting discussion, but it is a different discussion. The matter at hand was the libel of the OP. She made a sweeping and false claim against millions of people and used it to declare them heretics and blasphemers.

Protestants call the Eucharist a mere symbol which infact is heretical and blasphemy. But we Catholics know that symbols don't bleed as we can see in the second frame. Jesus is fully present in the Eucharist. Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinty. Jesus said in his words in John 6:53-56. You can not have eternal life if you do not participate in the Eucharist. Participating in the Eucharist qualifies you for eternal life, and if you reject the Eucharist, you have rejected Jesus.

@severegrace @UcheMaryOkoli I get it. But that isn't what Christ instructed. He specific said "This is my body and This is my blood" Consubstantiation literally says the bread coexists with the body of Christ and that's all shades wrong

@Prince_Of_Code @UcheMaryOkoli Some do, not all. There is also consubstantiation, real presence, etc. Again, I don't know any that call it a "mere" symbol. Certainly not all Protestants do. This falsely assumes protestantism in monolithic and it is a straw man.
