Today's Saint
St. Paul the Hermit (c. 233-345)

It is unclear what we really know of Paul's life, how much is fable, how much fact.

Paul was reportedly born in Egypt, where he was orphaned by age 15. He was also a learned and devout young man. During the persecution of Decius in Egypt in the year 250, Paul was forced to hide in the home of a friend. Fearing a brother-in-law would betray him, he fled in a cave in the desert. His plan was to return once the persecution ended, but the sweetness of solitude and heavenly contemplation convinced him to stay.

He went on to live in that cave for the next 90 years. A nearby spring gave him drink, a palm tree furnished him clothing and nourishment. After 21 years of solitude a bird began bringing him half of a loaf of bread each day. Without knowing what was happening in the world, Paul prayed that the world would become a better place.

St. Anthony attests to his holy life and death. Tempted by the thought that no one had served God in the wilderness longer than he, Anthony was led by God to find Paul and acknowledge him as a man more perfect than himself. The raven that day brought a whole loaf of bread instead of the usual half. As Paul predicted, Anthony would return to bury his new friend.

Thought to have been about 112 when he died, Paul is known as the "First Hermit." His feast day is celebrated in the East; he is also commemorated in the Coptic and Armenian rites of the Mass

Today's Saint

Servant of God John the Gardener (d. 1501)

John was born of poor parents in Portugal. Orphaned early in life, he spent some years begging from door to door. After finding work in Spain as a shepherd, he shared the little he earned with those even more needy than himself.

One day two Franciscans encountered him on a journey. Engaging him in conversation, they took a liking to the simple man and invited him to come and work at their friary in Salamanca. He readily accepted and was assigned to the task of assisting the brother with gardening duties. A short time later John himself entered the Franciscan Order and lived a life of prayer and meditation, fasting constantly, spending the nights in prayer, still helping the poor. Because of his work in the garden and the flowers he produced for the altar, he became known as "the gardener."

God favored John with the gift of prophecy and the ability to read hearts. Important persons, including princes, came to the humble, ever-obedient friar for advice. He was so loving towards all that he never wanted to take offense at anything. His advice was that to forgive offenses is an act of penance most pleasing to God.

He predicted the day of his own death: January 11, 1501.

Today's Saint

Blessed William Carter (d. 1584)

Born in London, William Carter entered the printing business at an early age. For many years he served as apprentice to well-known Catholic printers, one of whom served a prison sentence for persisting in the Catholic faith. William himself served time in prison following his arrest for "printing lewd [i.e., Catholic] pamphlets" as well as possessing books upholding Catholicism.

But even more, he offended public officials by publishing works that aimed to keep Catholics firm in their faith. Officials who searched his house found various vestments and suspect books, and even managed to extract information from William's distraught wife. Over the next 18 months William remained in prison, suffering torture and learning of his wife's death.

He was eventually charged with printing and publishing the Treatise of Schisme, which allegedly incited violence by Catholics and which was said to have been written by a traitor and addressed to traitors. While William calmly placed his trust in God, the jury met for only 15 minutes before reaching a verdict of "guilty." William, who made his final confession to a priest who was being tried alongside him, was hanged, drawn and quartered the following day: January 11, 1584.

meanwhile guys take a look at this link i was reading,
a centenarian is still active in church and is happy and proud of it.

God! he's strong at that age and he can still drive.

Our tomorrow's topic will b "PURGATORY, IS IT IN THE BIBLE?"

@Pamperme

Carlosein, oby1, Viee etc, you all will get my response next week and

I AM NOT A MILITANT

Enjoy yourself bros we are waiting for you to come back.
Na who call u Militant, the person no know sey na u e dey talk to? 

yesterday's topic was " THE COMMUNION OF THE SAINTS"

Just like in our profession of faith 'I believe in God'.

Communion can be termed as those who have decided to be like God.
There are 3 types of Saints : 1. those on Earth 2. those in purgatory and 3. those in heaven

St. on Earth are called Militant because we have not yet conquered.

St. in Purgatory are called the suffering because they are paying 4 their sin (Veneral sin(1 John 5: 16-17 and also 1 John 5:6)

Xteristics to become a living saint
Be spiritually active
Know the word
Blessing others
Be prayerful

If we are spiritually active and commune with the saints, even in our dreams we will b having messages that will b sent to us thru the saints.

Prayer excerpts from the topic "The Communion of the Saints"
1. Ask God to help you believe all the doctrines of the church
2. Ask the saints of God in heaven to intercede for us and the whole church of the body of Christ
3. Ask God to give you the grace to be a living Saint
4. Pray for the souls in purgatory, the faithful who are being purified.
5. Ask God to unite his church both in heaven and on earth
6. Pray that more and more people shall hunger to be saints of God.

Saint of Today

St. Gregory of Nyssa (c. 330-395)

The son of two saints, Basil and Emmilia, young Gregory was raised by his older brother, St. Basil the Great, and his sister, Macrina, in modern-day Turkey. Gregory's success in his studies suggested great things were ahead for him. After becoming a professor of rhetoric, he was persuaded to devote his learning and efforts to the Church. By then married, Gregory went on to study for the priesthood and become ordained (this at a time when celibacy was not a matter of law for priests).

He was elected Bishop of Nyssa (in Lower Armenia) in 372, a period of great tension over the Arian heresy, which denied the divinity of Christ. Briefly arrested after being falsely accused of embezzling Church funds, Gregory was restored to his see in 378, an act met with great joy by his people.

It was after the death of his beloved brother, Basil, that Gregory really came into his own. He wrote with great effectiveness against Arianism and other questionable doctrines, gaining a reputation as a defender of orthodoxy. He was sent on missions to counter other heresies and held a position of prominence at the Council of Constantinople. His fine reputation stayed with him for the remainder of his life, but over the centuries it gradually declined as the authorship of his writings became less and less certain. But, thanks to the work of scholars in the 20th century, his stature is once again appreciated. Indeed, St. Gregory of Nyssa is seen not simply as a pillar of orthodoxy but as one of the great contributors to the mystical tradition in Christian spirituality and to monasticism itself.

GOOD MORNING TO YOU ALL AND FINE MORNING TO YOU ALL.


Prayer excerpts from the topic "Holy Mary Mediatrix of all Graces"

1.  Ask God to forgive u 4 not recognizing the important of Mary in the role of salvation.

2. Ask God to forgive u 4 not giving Mary the honour that is due to her as the Mother of God and of all believers in Christ.

3.  Ask her to use her position as the Mother of Christ and the church to interceed for you (Ebos remember your wife issue and lawyer ask our Mother to interceed on your behalf)

4. Ask her to keep on praying for all her children including our separated brethren for the forgiveness of our sins and world peace

5. Pray that God will give you the grace to live an exemplary life like Mary both in faith, charity, obedience, humility and love

6. Pray that God will always grant her request as he did in the wedding at Cana.

ok, tomorrow i'm off to Church.

Abi o!

hope you are going to pray the rosary sha

That reminds me our topic yesterday was so interesting "Holy Mary Mediatrix of all Graces"  It was rich.

My fault - my failure to control my emotion i.e. violating my rules backfired at me.   I should learn how to call it a day when it's time to do so.

Try and keep to ur rules to avoid unnecessary failure. Since u know ur rules then abide on it.  Well that is trading (i guess) 4u is either loss or profit.  
Abi d wife wey u wan marry dis year na him dey make u dey over trade?

I could not attend mass yesterday because I was away till 8.30pm - I had to visit a friend and the visit was made during the time of mass. Hope, you put us in your prayer?

Sure i did. i always remember my friends in my prayers for God to grant their heart desire if it is the will of God.

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house.
Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor , Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness;
kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.

yes o!!! very very important. When you practise kindness you find joy in whatever u do.

Funny enough, I'm not happy right now.

Why?

gray

stage

I dey trowey salute from my end o

ol boy your case don pass becareful, because you go first need to divorce pilgrim before you come marry another pesin. else yawa go dey o.

Divorce ke, e no dey Catholic dictionary o. na till death una go part (nobody send u message before)

No worry oby na 1.00am i go call u, shebi u don expose your secret

1.00am ke, abeg that one na really odd hour, i fit no even hear d ringing sef because by then i don catapault to another realm.

God of love, it all sounds so simple and easy. You are love and when we love you are present within and among us. Yet, we both know that love is a challenge. So much self-emptying and risk. I am grateful that we can love because You have first loved us and make love possible. You live among us. May the intimacy of Your love eradicate all fear. Lord Jesus, the human image of God's compassion, fear paralyzes us. Fear grasps darkness. When we are buffeted by the waves of darkness and frightened by fear of sinking, walk by us - be our buoyancy! Let us know that we are not alone - that with you, we will not sink into darkness, pettiness and hatred. May your transforming and calming love enable us to get a hold of ourselves and radiate your love living and shining within us.

AMEN AND AMEN

Glory to Jesus

Honour to our Blessed Mother
