Happy Sunday brethren


The priest got me thinking today after he shared images of children suffering malnutrition in different countries.
Mehn in some of the countries, parents feared their kids may not live till the age of 5. He shared the story of a family where they take turns to starve so food can go round everyone.
For example, Italo wouldn't eat today so salc can eat, and tomorrow will be Syncan's turn to starve so jnrbayano can eat. Omg!!!!!!

While I thank God we don't have such extreme cases in Nigeria, we're encouraged to always lend helping hands to the less privileged around us and all over the world. What shall it profit u to live in a mansion while ur neighbor cannot afford clean drinking water

Remember 'whatever u do the least of my brothers, that u do unto me'

Trust me it's better u didn't hear these horrible stories from the priest cos I've not bn able to eat since then embarassed
I never knew such unimaginable level of poverty still exists on this planet.
Names of the countries withheld for privacy reasons



Have a blessed new week everyone

annulment is a declaration that a marriage never existed because the necessary conditions for it were not met.
these are some of the things that marry render a marriage null and void ab initio.

Bigamy - either party was already married to another person at the time of the marriage

Forced Consent - one of the spouses was forced or threatened into marriage and only entered into it under duress

Fraud - one of the spouses agreed to the marriage based on the lies or misrepresentation of the other

Marriage Prohibited By Law - incestuous marriages

Mental Illness - either spouse was mentally ill.

Mental Incapacity - either spouse was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the marriage and was unable to make
informed consent

Inability to Consummate Marriage - either spouse was physically incapable of having sexual relations

Underage Marriage - either spouse was too young to enter into marriage without parental consent.

THE WEIGHT OF THE HOLY MASS
(From the Catholic Society of Evangelists
Newsletter, August, 1999)
The following TRUE STORY was related to Sr.
M. Veronica Murphy by an elderly nun who
heard it from the lips of the late Reverend
Father Stanislaus SS.CC


One day many years ago, in a little town in
Luxembourg, a Captain of the Forest Guards
was in deep conversation with the butcher
when an elderly woman entered the shop. The
butcher broke off the conversation to ask the
old woman what she wanted. She had come to
beg for a little meat but had no money.
The Captain was amused at the woman and
the butcher. 'Only a little meat, but how much
are you going to give her?', he wondered.
'I am sorry I have no money but I'll hear Mass
for you, ' the woman told the butcher. Both the
butcher and the Captain were indifferent about
religion, so they at once began to scoff at the
old woman's idea.
'All right then,' said the butcher. 'You go and
hear Mass for me and when you come back I'll
give you as much as the Mass is worth'.
The woman left the shop and returned later.
She approached the counter and the butcher
said. 'All right then we'll see.'
He took a slip of paper and wrote on it 'I heard
a Mass for you.'
He placed the paper on the scales and a tiny
bone on the other side, but nothing happened.
Next he placed a piece of meat instead of the
bone, but still the paper proved heavier.
Both men were beginning to feel ashamed of
their mockery but continued their game. A large
piece of meat was placed on the balance, but
still the paper held its own. The butcher,
exasperated, examined the scales but found
they were alright.
'What do you want my good woman? Must I
give you a whole leg of mutton?'
At this he placed the leg of mutton on the
balance, but the paper outweighed the meat. A
larger piece of meat was put on, but again the
weight remained on the side of the paper. This
so impressed the butcher that he was
converted and promised to give the woman her
daily ration of meat.
As for the Captain, he left the shop a changed
man and became an ardent lover of daily Mass.
Two of his sons became priests, one a Jesuit &
the other a Father of the Sacred Heart.
Father Stanislaus finished the story by saying,
'I am from the Religious of the Sacred Heart &
the Captain was my father.
'From this incident the Captain became a daily
Mass attendant & his children were trained to
follow his example.
Later, when his sons became priests, he
advised them to say Mass well every day and
never miss the Sacrifice of the Mass through
any fault of their own.
Remember too that 'a Holy Mass a day keeps
the Devil away'.


God bless you all.
