(Christian Edition of the Tao Te Ching) parallels the message of the
Bible, which can be summed up in one word: love. Love is the
fundamental principle that will open our hearts, allowing the Holy
Spirit to strengthen and deepen our faith. It will equip us with the
right tools to advance our God-given mission. The Church is sent to
all peoples, all lands, and cultures. These are the last words
spoken by Christ before His ascension into heaven, along with His
promise to the Apostles and their successors that He would remain
with them until the end of time.
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit," ~ Matthew 28:19.
Instead of focusing on whether the BFG Handbook is a

This handbook establishes universal principles that deepen our
understanding of how we can truly love God and our neighbors. By
exploring these timeless teachings, it guides us in living a life
rooted in compassion, faith, and a genuine commitment to the well-
being of others.
In the U.S., only about one-third of Catholics believe in
transubstantiation, which is the belief in the true presence of Jesus
Christ in the Eucharist. For Catholics, the Eucharist is not just a
ritual but a profound, mystical union with Christ that strengthens
faith and fosters holiness. It is central to Catholic life, serving to
connect with Christ, offer thanks for His sacrifice, and receive His
grace.
