I Trust in Thee<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My Mission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I hope to inspire others to love and serve the True, the Good, and the Beautiful!  I believe and am convinced that this is the Most Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who has revealed and continues to reveal His Love for humanity through Jesus Christ who died to unleash the power of the Holy Spirit on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are called to be ready for His coming to judge the living an the dead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through a great mystery of human freedom, I had chosen to follow Jesus and serve Him as His priest.  I had received a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University, but felt God was calling me to follow Him, and the 19th Chapter of Matthew convicted me to give up marriage for the service of the kingdom of God.  See Matthew 19:10-12<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Roots of my Faith<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Divine Revelation is the guide God gave us, both the Divine Scriptures, The Holy Bible, and Apostolic Tradition, the results of Apostolic Succession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sacred Scriptures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Holy Bible<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Holy Bible was the compilation of the the Hebrew Scriptures and the apostles and apostolic persons who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to provide a fundamental guide to our faith.  St. Jerome stated, “Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Teaching of Church Councils<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From the Council of Jerusalem which dealt with how the Church was to deal with its Jewish roots and the impact of Christ to the Second Vatican Council in the 1960’s.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
