Isolation During COVID-19

The Spirituality Center●Studium team on Zoom

Remember when we were living through the first wave of COVID-19 last summer? I felt freedom was taken away from me in a way I have never experienced before. I suspect we all did. I recall one day mid-June when I simply wanted to escape, to run away, to be free. I wanted to go where COVID did not exist, yet that place was nowhere to be found. So instead I started reaching out to more people. I wrote cards, made phone calls, and sent emails. I learned to used messenger through Facebook to connect with a variety of people. Making these connections through social media was exciting; it would take my mind off the current situation, if only for a few minutes. I learned to Zoom, enjoying some face-to-face conversations along with FaceTime.

So now, in December, I ask myself, “How have I continued these connections with the people I re-connected with?” or “How have I been living these days and surviving COVID-19 through prayer, family, faith, and friends?” As we celebrate the season of Advent, we know there is light at the end of the tunnel with the birth of Jesus. I look forward to celebrating the light of Jesus birth, who is bringing light to our world once again.

  1. Catholic must know Dogma > Ripped from your soul.
    If you're at all interested in knowing ... the Catholic Dogma ... that we *must believe* to
    get to Heaven, and which you have *never* seen ...

    I list it on my website > > www.Gods-Catholic-Dogma.com

    And no ... the anti-Christ vatican-2 heretic cult (founded in 1965) is not the Catholic Church (founded in 33 A.D.).

    There are over 200 heresies against Catholic Dogma ... in the "vatican-2 council" documents ...50 listed on Section 12 (followed by Catholic corections) > www.Gods-Catholic-Dogma.com/section_12.html

    Being outside ... the Catholic Church in any heresy ... leaves one with no chance of getting to Heaven.

    Physical participation in a heretic cult (vatican-2, lutheran, evangelical, etc) ... automatically excommunicates you from the Catholic Church (that is, Christianity) > www.Gods-Catholic-Dogma.com/section_13.2.2.html

    Mandatory ... Abjuration of heresy to enter the Catholic Church > www.Gods-Catholic-Dogma.com/section_40.html

    Dogma that one must Abjure to leave the vatican-2 heretic cult and enter the Catholic Church > www.Gods-Catholic-Dogma.com/section_40.1.html

    The BIBLE says ... 15 TIMES ... it is not the authority on Faith,
    the BIBLE says the Church in it's Dogma and Doctrine ... is the authority on Faith and the definition of the Catholic Faith ... www.Gods-Catholic-Dogma.com/section_6.html

    The Catholic God knows ... what we think and believe ...

    Catholic writing of Romans 1:21 >
    "They ... became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened."

    Catholic Faith (pre-fulfillment) writing of Deuteronomy 31:21 >
    "For I know their thoughts, and what they are about to do this day."

    Catholic Faith (pre-fulfillment) writing of Job 21:27 >
    "Surely I know your thoughts, and your unjust judgments against Me."
