So far in my blog, I have been dedicating my time to my series of photos from Spain. Soon, I will be finishing off this series, as I only have a couple more cities to deal with (Madrid, San Cugat y Blanes). Due to this upcoming finale, I will starting a new series "Wisdom from the Apostolic Fathers". This series will bring daily inspiration from the Church Fathers, men who were instrumental in the formation of the Church.
If you have any nuggets of truth that you would like to see posted, please email me via the link provided on the Introduction page.
To preview this upcoming series, I leave you with some amazing words from Justin the Martyr:
“This food we call Eucharist, of which no one is allowed to partake except one who believes that the things we teach are true, and has received the washing for forgiveness of sins and for rebirth, and who lives as Christ handed down to us. For we do not receive these things as common bread or common drink; but as Jesus Christ our Saviour being incarnate by God’s word took flesh and blood for our salvation, so also we have been taught that the food consecrated by the word of prayer which comes from him, from which our flesh and blood are nourished by transformation, is the flesh and blood of that incarnate Jesus. For the apostles in the memoirs composed by them, which are called Gospels, thus handed down what was commanded them: that Jesus, taking bread and having given thanks, said, ‘Do this for my memorial, this is my body’; and likewise taking the cup and giving thanks he said, ‘This is my blood’; and gave it to them alone.” (First Apology 66)
