- 262: A Fourteenth Century Castle
- ... for work shops. During the war The water supply was vital, especially when the castle was surrounded. Wells were dug into the rock below the castle, the water was used for bathing and drinking. The Lord lived at the heart of the castle which was called a keep. If the defenders broke into the castle all the remaining soldiers would go into the keep and fight to the death. Women and ... Noblemen captured in battle would have luxury quarters high up in one of the gate house towers. They were held until there families paid a ransom.

- ... came into this world to bring redemption for our sins. He did this through his death and resurrection, or what we refer to as the pascal mystery.

To better ... again by official Church documents up to the present day. Reconciliation was never meant to be solely attached only to the Sacrament of Penance.

- ... other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Jesus is the name in which the roles of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are revealed.

Cornelius and his household were Gentiles, yet there again Peter "commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord" (Acts 10:48). (Most translations actually say, "In the name of Jesus Christ.") If Peter was wrong on the Day of Pentecost, he surley had ample time to be corrected before he went to the ... when Peter preached, he stood up with the eleven Acts 2:14). Matthew was there, yet we find no words of correction from him. He surley would have spoken up if Peter had disobeyed the Lord. But all the apostles understood and carried out the Lord's commission. As Jesus said in prayer, "I have manifested thy name unto the men [the apostles] which thou gavest me out of the ...

- 266: Comparing the Sermon on the Mount and the Sermon on the Plain
- ... minor variations. Literary World Both sermons begin with the recordings of the Beattitudes. The similarities are the most apparent between the two accounts of the Beatitudes.

Matthew records nine beatitudes and among those, Luke recorded the first, second, fourth, and ninth. He also recorded four separate woes ... the sermon, the law of love proceeds the beatitudes. Gods commands concerning love are given for application in our lives (Lk. 6:27-36 Ox.). Loving your enemies is a powerful command of the Lord.

According to Walter Lord, author of The Night Lives On, the Titanic could have been saved in the very beginning of the crisis when the iceberg was first reported to the bridge. If First Officer Murdoch had steamed right ... ice onto the deck (Pellegrino 21). After the collision occurred, there was only one thing open for Captain Smith to do. It was almost midnight and he gave the order to take to the lifeboats (Lord, Lives On 82). This decision brought Captain Smith face-to-face with the fact that there were 2,201 people on board and enough lifeboats for only 1,178 people (Lord, Lives On 83). The Captain was going to have to make a choice as to who would be the first allowed on the lifeboats. Around 12:30 a.m. the bridge informed the crew ...

- ... of the world, and wherever God's word is absent he has an easy task, not only with the weak but also with the strong. May God help us. Amen. Grace and peace in the Lord. Dear sir and good friend, I have received a treatise in which a Jew engages in dialog with a Christian. He dares to pervert the scriptural passages which we cite in testimony to our faith, concerning our Lord Christ and Mary his mother, and to interpret them quite differently. With this argument he thinks he can destroy the basis of our faith. This is my reply to you and to him. It is ... as they will; we see the facts before our eyes, and these do not deceive us.
