“For each one of you, as for the apostles, the encounter with the divine Teacher who calls you friends may be the beginning of an extraordinary venture: that of becoming apostles among your contemporaries to lead them to live their own experience of friendship with God, made Man, with God who has made himself my friend.” – Pope Benedict XVI
The mission of these websites is not different from the mission of any Christian Catholic. We present and defend the faith given to us by the faithful magisterial teaching of the Catholic Church. We seek to form and inform the reader with sound material useful to all. This multimedia effort is aimed at helping Christians to grow in the faith and learn to defend it.
In this collective effort our community does not forget those who have received the call of God and are considering to join the Catholic Church. We hope that the conversion stories, and the life example of the saints that lived through history impulse many to seek Christ and the Church that He founded. We are here to help.
Quod scripsi, scripsi
“What I have written, I have written.” This website has been renamed to Quod scripsi, scripsi, the famous phrase of Pontius Pilate pronounced after he unwittingly revealed Christ divinity before the Jewish religious authorities of that time. Pilate’s dictate appears in the Bible in John 19:20-22.
Many of the Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and Greek. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written” (Lat. “Quod scripsi, scripsi.”) — John 19:20-22
The idea of using those words came to me after some meditation. God used Pilate to mysteriously proclaim His Name from the Cross in spite of Pilate’s complete ignorance. Thus I thought the words quite apropos to describe my work here.
As mankind advance towards “the valley of shadows” I ask you one more time to multiply your prayers for this blog. For as long as God allows, this publication will be here. Quod legisti, legisti.
God is constantly presenting mankind to us as ground where we can sow the eternal Gospel. The moment has come to commit all of our energies to an urgent worldwide evangelization. The first duty of every Christian is to present Christ to all.
The urgency of this call cannot be ignored. All Christians today are asked to live and act like the Christians of the early centuries of the Church. It is our duty one more time to be the salt of the earth, to give life to this dying world through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Church in crisis is rapidly losing its ability to evangelize effectively. Our culture has lost the way and is teetering dangerously close to the abyss of extinction.
Our work must follow the perfect example of Our Blessed Mother who was the first glimmer of light shining in the dark night of a decaying ancient world.
We can’t waste any time.
