At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. Not every one that saith to Me: Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 7, 15-21

LESSON THIRTIETH:

On the First Commandment

Q. 1180. Are we obliged to make open profession

of our faith?

A. We are obliged to make open profession

of our faith as often as God's honor, our neighbor's

spiritual good or our own requires it. "Whosoever,"

says Christ, "shall confess me before men, I will

also confess him before my Father who is in

heaven."

Q. 1181. When does God's honor, our neighbor's

spiritual good, or our own good require us to

make an open profession of our faith?

A. God's honor, our neighbor's spiritual

good, or our own good requires us to make an open

profession of our faith as often as we cannot

conceal our religion without violating some law of

God or of His Church, or without giving scandal to

others or exposing ourselves to the danger of

sinning. Pious practices not commanded may often

be omitted without any denial of faith.

Q. 1182. Which are the sins against hope?

A. The sins against hope are presumption

and despair.

DRESS CODE

We want to foster the greatest reverence and respect for Our

Lord at Mater Ecclesiae. Our attire is an outward expression of

our love for the Lord and shows how important He is to us. It

is also a sign of our respect for the House of God. Therefore,

one should always wear their “Sunday Best” to Mass:

modesty, good taste and common sense should prevail.

Accordingly, the following rules apply:

NO SHORTS, EVER, FOR MEN, WOMEN OR

CHILDREN.

Women: No revealing clothing, low necklines, short

skirts or bare midriffs. Please dress modestly with

dignity and self-respect. We suggest that women wear

a head covering.

Men: No tattered, soiled work clothes, old jeans or

gym clothes. Please wear “business or business casual

attire” to set a good example for our young men and

boys.
