I suppose that it is not easy to give a definition because God leads all by different paths, working in each life as He sees fit. Perhaps that is what the saying "Grace builds on nature" means. Still, when I think of "Spirit-filled" I think of a more charismatic approach to the faith--speaking in tongues, gifts of healing, etc. Do you think these gifts are still applicable to us today?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560483615460834385.post-18933258931541851492014-07-20T18:39:17.947-04:002014-07-20T18:39:17.947-04:00Fr.

For me, Catholics are starting to drift away when it seems the Church are too conscious to win approval by trying to be safe and jeopardize the truth by missing to say it directly. That's why I don't agree with the Philippine's Cardinal new message to priests that advices to 'condemn less' when they are in the best position to do so. But when someone hears a message from a priest like Fr. Isaac Mary Relyea, it leaves a feeling of being proud to be a Catholic because of that bravery on the Truth. Just my opinion. I respect you Fr.
