Welcome to www.mayjesuschristbepraised.com (formally: www.frpastorius.com) and my attempt to harness the power of the internet for use in my ministry as a Catholic Priest.

In Jesus’ life on earth we see God caring deeply about the things that make human being hurt—sickness, being a social outcast, being lost.  In his life, his ministry, and his death, Jesus shows us a God who is with us in our pain, and who knows our being at its very worst.

The message of Jesus is a simple one: heal the sick, accept the outcast, and find the lost.  In other words, love one another, just as your Father in heaven loves you.

Time after time, though, that message is ignored, and some of the most tragic sequences in human history have resulted—not from a vengeful God determined to punish his erring people, but from our own willfulness and selfishness.*

It is my hope that you will find the information on this webiste helpful as you strive to live out your faith in Jesus Christ.
