Sal C: Good morning brethren.
Sal C will be going for surgery by 9am this morning and the doctor said it will take 4months for my complete recovery. Please pray for me. Though am only going to be away for few hours or a day as the case may be due to the anesthesia.

May the health of the sick, ensure that all goes well. Get back quick Sis.

Sal C: The title is Co-Redemptrix and the last vote against it was done in the month of August 1996.

Right. It would have been a three in one. Co-redemtrix, co-adjutrix and mediatrix of all graces.

In continuation.The church has identified various forms/types of baptism, name them?

Thanks a lot brethren for your prayers and encouragements. Indeed it was very successful. To God be the glory.

babestell: Sal C dear, it is well. God that gave doctors the knowledge to do surgeries shall direct their hands. Speedy recovery!

Syncan: In continuation.The church has identified various forms/types of baptism, name them?

great thread everyone weldone, @ sis sal c congrats on a successful operation and quick recovery by his wound you are healed, may divine healing manifest in your life.

I heared someone was scared of st teresa ot avila, she is a pillar in carmelite spirituality, read her works her spirituality is interesting,
@italo i saw u changed ur signature to highlight your weakness, i would love it if u could go thru d letters of st paul and write down the phrases where yo see ''in him'' and apply them to your self, your weaknesses are nothing compared to what u are in christ. You posses grace to kill ur weakness.
And thanks everyone esp for the good words i read about me.
Sorry i cant actively participate during d thread.

Rich4god:
you got my prayer bro... God will not forsake you at the time of your need. Am sure by now, you are out of the theater... So how did it go...?
here is my number 08060376231... Just incase you need people to talk to(flashin z allowed) wish you all the best.

Bro again? Hmm, the surgery went well. I'll call you.

Syncan:

Right. It would have been a three in one. Co-redemtrix, co-adjutrix and mediatrix of all graces.

Ok, I would have mentioned the three if you had used titles instead of title while asking the question
Though that question led me to serious research.

Uben beat me to the next question. The first and second am sure he is right the third seems right but am not too sure.

Ubenedictus: 1 the water baptism
2 baptism by blood
3 baptism by desire.
Or so i think...

Correct! 1. Baptism by water - The Individual witness to the faith by submitting to water sprinkling/immersion
2. Baptism by blood - The Individual witness to the faith by shedding his blood (die)for it.
3. Baptism by desire - The individual desires to be baptized and could not obtain baptism before death out of no fault of his/hers

Sal C: Ok, I would have mentioned the three if you had used titles instead of title while asking the question

Welcome back Sal C, Indeed to God be the glory. Do not worry, you got your full marks, just a little exposition more on the issue.

Ubenedictus got all the answers, they were all correct and complete too.

In continuation. In these times of legalization of Abortions, we recall a saint canonized by Pope John Paul II, on issues related to this. Who is this saint and what year was the canonization?

Sal C: Bro again? Hmm, the surgery went well. I'll call you.

Sorry sis... At least I now know you are a "sis". If I shd mk the mistake again, you can have my neck.

babestell: Sal C dear, it is well. God that gave doctors the knowledge to do surgeries shall direct their hands. Speedy recovery!

Rich4God if I flash u, will u send me credit too.

Why not, bit 1st of all, as a Vincentian, I will make investigation to see if you truly deserve the credit.

Thanks. Though the signature was actually a quote from St. Teresa of Avila. I just didnt have enough space to put her name. It sure speaks to everyone.

Just like your advice speaks to everyone too.

Like Teresa, we all can triumph over our weaknesses through Christ.

Amen.

same bro, i smiled when i visited the thread and saw italo as the last to comment. I love this thread, it serves as a military base for training, Dispatchments and reinforcement! I'm glad you all came, i was lost and could not give him error- free answers. God bless us all!

Lol @ "military base"

You did the honourable thing. It is better to be silent when unsure than speak in error.

I am thinking of doing a piece for Catholics on strategies to defend the faith effectively and confidently. What you did is part of the key points.

I'm still thinking whether to do it here or open a separate thread for it.

I think I should open a separate thread so that it could have a chance of attracting Catholics who dont normally come here.

God bless you.

I hope your Rosary devotion is still on point o.

We must talk to God (from whom comes our strength) more than we talk to our adversaries.

Thanks bro.
Yes, i think opening a separate thread for that will be Good and as u said, attract other Catholics.
We need to learn more of those strategies More power to your elbows.
O yes October devotion still rowing till the 31st, try and partake @ your parish.

I'm partaking, though my schedule and Lagos traffic wont let make it every evening.

Thanks.

Sal C: St Gianna Bretta molla canonized on 16 may 2004 by Pope John Paul II

Nice one Sal C. Saint Gianna Beretta Molla (October 4, 1922 – April 28, 1962) was an Italian pediatrician, wife and mother who is best known for refusing both an abortion and a hysterectomy when she was pregnant with her fourth child, despite knowing that continuing with the pregnancy could result in her death. She was canonized as a saint of the Catholic Church in 2004.

In 1961, Gianna was pregnant once again. During the second month, Gianna developed a fibroma on her uterus. After examination, the doctors gave her three choices: an abortion, a complete hysterectomy, or removal of only the fibroma. The Catholic Church forbids all direct abortion even when the woman's life is in danger, but Catholic teaching would have allowed her to undergo a hysterectomy, which would have resulted in her unborn child's death as an unintended consequence.

"Abortion – that is, the directly intended termination of pregnancy before viability or the directly intended destruction of a viable fetus – is never permitted...Operations, treatments, and medications that have as their direct purpose the cure of a proportionately serious pathological condition of a pregnant woman are permitted when they cannot be safely postponed until the unborn child is viable, even if they will result in the death of the unborn child." – The Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERD) Directive 45

Gianna opted for the removal of the fibroma, wanting to preserve her child's life.

After the operation, complications continued throughout her pregnancy. Gianna was quite clear about her wishes, expressing to her family, "This time it will be a difficult delivery, and they may have to save one or the other -- I want them to save my baby."

On April 21, 1962, Good Friday of that year, Gianna went to the hospital, where her fourth child, Gianna Emanuela, was successfully delivered via Caesarean section.[1] However, Gianna continued to have severe pain, and died of septic peritonitis 7 days after the birth.

They are saints whose lives are closer to that of Christ...she gave her life that another may live. Help us, O lord! pray for us St. Gianna Beretta.

The triumphant church: the saints who has made it to heaven.
The sufering church: the holy souls in purgatory.
The millitant or pilgrim church: we that are still alive thriving to make heaven.

Isnt it a great family we have?

One that death cannot scatter.

The triumphant pray for the militant/pilgrim; they, in turn, pray for the suffering.

One day, we'll all be together before our God. Amen! Amen!
