Following Jesus through His Church

That is the purpose of this blog. The "red" part comes from the fact that many Bibles have the words of Christ in red; e.g.,

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him. And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:  
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.  
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
The poor in spirit: That is, the humble; and they whose spirit is not set upon riches.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.  
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
The Gospel According to Saint Matthew 5:3-12
