Catholic Lighthouse

Jesus Christ is the Light of the world. His beams of light penetrate the darkest minds and intellects. His Lighthouse is the Holy Catholic Church. Nothing can snuff out the light beaming from this divinely established Lighthouse, but sadly, minds can reflect that beautiful Light away, and reject Its blessed Truth, allowing the storms of iniquity to overflow and draw souls darkened by skotos*, into the depths of the sea, facing fearful shipwreck on the shores of hell. The beautiful Star of the Sea, Mary Immaculate, the Lighthouse keeper, has the power given by God, to calm the raging storm tossed souls, and lead them safely to the firm steadfast anchorage of the Holy Catholic Church, divinely founded on the Rock of Peter. There, in the security of this sacred sanctuary, all who enter in are assured of the graces necessary for eternal joy. The Pilot, the Vicar of Christ, steers this unsinkable ship into the calm waters of infallible truth and peace. *(biblical Greek meaning: of ignorance respecting divine things and human duties, and the accompanying ungodliness and immorality, together with their consequent misery in hell)
