Words written in red; Words of Jesus
Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Mag'dalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joan'na, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.
Luke 8: 1 – 3
We ought not, as soon as we leave church, to plunge into business unsuited to church, but as soon as we get home, we should take the Scriptures into our hands, and call our wife and children to join us in putting together what we have heard in church.
— John Chrysostom
Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful and humble I feel Your hand and seek the guidance through Jesus that will continue to form me in His image and liken my heart to His above all. For as far as I maybe for that image and that likening, is as far as I am from what I had become. But now I am aware that I am created in Your image in Jesus and it is in the Spirit that I am, for outside the Spirit I am just being, but in the Spirit through Jesus I am want I was created to be. Help me be. Now that I am awakened help keep me conscious and connected to You where I might shine enough to be a light for others starting with mine. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
1 Corinthians 15:12-20<http://www.ewtn.com/vbible/search.asp?abbr=_1Cor&ch=15&bv1=12&ev1=20>
12 Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; 14 if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. 17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied. 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

That's a good question, since these days both parties endorse policies or engage in activities that contradict some or many Catholic teachings about abortion, poverty, immigration, war and peace, or other issues of life and justice. But that's not always been the case.
