Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you                Pray without ceasing                For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you                And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him                Through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God                Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven                Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven                It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God

Message from the Editor, Love One Another! 15/2010
   

By Father Mieczysław Piotrowski TChr,
Love One Another 15/2010 → The main topic



 

It is the fundamental task and duty of every man and woman to discover the truth. Jesus enlightens us only when we come to recognize the truth. It is the truth that sets us free (cf. Jn 8: 32). Without truth there is no freedom, but enslavement. The organs of the mass media — radio, press, TV, Internet — have the great mission of serving the truth, seeking it, and making it known to the public. In his homily of June 6, 1991, Pope John Paul II cautioned the members of the media against being drawn into the service of falsehood. He appealed to them to take special responsibility for their words, for these ought to testify to the truth and express concern and love for mankind. Alas, all too often the communications media are engaged in a concerted distortion of the truth about the human person, about God, the Church, and her teachings. The legalized killing of unborn children, euthanasia, divorce, contraception, homosexual unions, in vitro fertilization, marital infidelity, de facto marriages, etc. are so speciously presented by the media as to create the impression that their acceptance represents a good and a sign of progress. All this is one great deception by the powers of evil. John Paul II warned: “The communications media can become a means of violence, if there stands behind them another violence, which need not be physical. Another kind of violence. Another kind of power....That is the outlook of our times: between the freedom, which Christ constantly extends to us, and rejection of Christ” (June 6, 1991).

To live the truth means to enjoy a personal relationship with Christ through daily prayer, reception of the sacraments of penance and the Eucharist, and living out His teachings. Jesus said: “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (Jn 8: 31b-32). Let us not allow ourselves to be enslaved by the lies artfully prepared by the enemies of man, Christ, and the Church.

Dear readers, please promote Love One Another Magazine in your neighborhoods. Help us in our mission to make the truth of the Gospel known to the greatest number of souls.
