Prayer in Honor of Mary's Courage


Mary,
you heard a voice.
You answered, "Yes,"
risking shame and disgrace,
ridicule and rejection.
Still, you said, "Yes."
Yes, to the promise
you received from God.
Yes, to the birth
of a firstborn son.
Let your trust be our inspiration,
your faith
be our guide,
your hope
our course for courage.
This we ask
in the name of the child
you bore,
the Savior of the world,
who came
through God's abiding love
and your spoken word.
Yes.
So be it.
Amen.

May God have mercy on you for all the lies that comes from you.
Remember to bear false accusation is a sin.
If you don't understand or don't want to understand anything from Catholics, i think is better to remain silent.

We have come to stay and i'm very sorry that there is nothing you can do about it.

Glory be to Jesus!!! Honour to our Mother Mary

Remove the scale in your own eyes before you remove the one in your brothers that is if there is any.

She is my Mother always and nothing can change it, i'm sorry.

Today's Saint 25/9/07

St. Elzear and Blessed Delphina (1286-1323) (1283-1358)


This is the only Franciscan couple to be canonized or beatified formally.

Elzear came from a noble family in southern France. After he married Delphina, she informed him that she had made a vow of perpetual virginity; that same night he did the same. For a time Elzear, Count of Ariano, was a counselor to Duke Charles of Calabria in southern Italy. Elzear ruled his own territories in the kingdom of Naples and in southern France with justice.

Elzear and Delphina joined the Secular Franciscans and dedicated themselves to the corporal works of mercy. Twelve poor people dined with them every day. A statue of Elzear shows him curing several people suffering from leprosy.

Their piety extended to the running of their household. Everyone there was expected to attend Mass daily, go to confession weekly and be ready to forgive injuries.

After Elzear’s death, Delphina continued her works of charity for 35 more years. She is especially remembered for raising the moral level of the king of Sicily’s court.

Elzear and Delphina are buried in Apt, France. He was canonized in 1369, and she was beatified in 1694.

Quote

St. Bonaventure wrote: "Francis sought occasion to love God in everything. He delighted in all the works of God's hands and from the vision of joy on earth his mind soared aloft to the life-giving source and cause of all. In everything beautiful, he saw him who is beauty itself, and he followed his Beloved everywhere by his likeness imprinted on creation; of all creation he made a ladder by which he might mount up and embrace Him who is all-desirable" (Legenda Major, IX, 1).

Prayer to the Holy Spirit



Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.
Amen.

Saint of the Day 24/9/07

St. Pacifico of San Severino (1653-1721)


Pacifico was born into a distinguished family in San Severino in the Marche of Ancona in central Italy. After joining the Friars Minor, he was ordained. He taught philosophy for two years and then began a successful preaching career.

Pacifico was an ascetic man. He fasted perpetually, eating no more than bread, soup or water. His "hair shirt" was made of iron. Poverty and obedience were two virtues for which his confreres especially remembered him.

At the age of 35, Pacifico contracted an illness that eventually left him deaf, blind and crippled. He offered his sufferings for the conversion of sinners, and he cured many of the sick who came to him. Pacifico also served as the superior of the friary in San Severino. He was canonized in 1839.

Quote

"Moreover, I advise and admonish the friars that in their preaching, their words should be examined and chaste. They should aim only at the advantage and spiritual good of their listeners, telling them briefly about vice and virtue, punishment and glory, because our Lord himself kept his words short on earth" (St. Francis, Rule of 1223, Ch. 9).

May God deliver you.

@Pilgrim.1
Even if at all the Pope said anything, must that be the reason y you attack all Catholic.
Maybe you should find a way to reach to the Pope and pure out your heart to him, if that will solve your problem.
 
Please farabale (i no know how 2 speak yoruba and you dey force me speak).

@ebos, carlosein and other of my brethren

Glory to Jesus!!! Please answer me

I dey kampe. I just felt like relaxing because there is no need arguing, when you know that they already know the truth, but accepting is the problem. The time i will use to do important things i don't want to waste it in argument.
Jesus has given us the option to chose between life and death, he is not forcing anyone, but he said i prefer you chose life.
So the things of God is not by force.

Carlosein thats a very nice post.

Glory to Jesus!!! Honour to our Mother Mary.

Sure

I think the best thing is to be silent .  Don't answer any post from them, because they hv made up their mind to hate catholics, which is very wrong.  The more you explain to them the more they find more contradiction.

Thank you Cgift. Let God be our Judge.

shey na Catholic dey dir own jeje una go come dey find them, 4rm left, right and center una dey attack everyday. Any of una wey open church, na 4 catholic church their aim go dey to come pick members wey go make up d congregation.

Una no fit wipe off catholic church (So make una save una breathe)

God no dey make mistake at all.

For ur information many catholics turned protestant dey come back to the catholic fold everyday new people are being received. They go taste and come back and know that what is not Panadol can never be Panadol.

I dey pray for you and others too, make God remove ignorance, pride 4rm una eyes.

na wao (make una no get high blood pressure because of Catholic)

Catholic don come to stay so no matter wetin una talk from now till who knows when go fit change wetin God don write. You no fit erase God's handwritten.

There are so many people wey dey hunger 2 hear d word of God, una dey here dey throw missiles upon ur fellow believers. Where is that love God talked about?

Make God deliver una o

Na wao

@Reverend
John 8:44 "You are the children of your father, the devil, and you want to follow your father's desires. From the very beginning he was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and father of all lies".

@pilgrim.1 your quote"Because we love you dearly, that is why we keep warning you, pleading with you, praying for your souls, prodding you to turn to the WORD of God, and imploring you to let Him speak to your hearts. Rejecting His WORD because of the traditions of Catholicism is a dangerous thing indeed".

Who has made you judge over the Catholics?  I thank God he is the Judge and not man.  The ways of human are different from the ways of God.

The Soon Coming King
The Consuming Fire
The Great Judge of the whole world
The Creator that was not created
The Bright Morning Star
The God of my Family
The God that Answereth by Fire
The God that walketh upon the sea
The God that Calmeth the troubling Sea
The Lamb of God that sitteth upon the throne
The Lamb of God that was slain for our sin
The Patient God waiting for the sinners
The Redemptorist
