tolugar: Shame on the catholic community of ahiara diocese
A big disgrace to Catholicism
I thought we are united as one in the body of Christ
Is not a disgrace to Catholicism, its the ignorance of the people. The same problem that befalls this nation (tribalism) is what you see happened there at ahiara diocese. How can Nigeria be one, when tribalism is even practised among the same people with different dialects? Shame on the Ahiara Christian Community. They may live to regret this, but God is merciful. So brother, rephrase your statement because when you Catholics, you are generalising it like it occurs everywhere. This same similar issues occurs when higher institution want to appoint VCs and Rectors, they tribalize it. So how can this stop?,
This is serious. Real old. I watched 90% of the above listed. I think there's one too called Ako man, I don't know if I got the spelling, Pingu, Droopy, the Simpsons and few I can't remember especially when we licked eclairs sweet along. Lol. Nigeria was good! we learnt not to be violent with these cartoons, now I can't really tell the type of cartoons that is aired now on DTSVs and Co. May God help us.

The Divine Mercy is a Roman Catholic devotion focused on the mercy of God and its power, particularly as a form of thanksgiving and entrusting of oneself to God's mercy.
The devotion as known today can be traced to Polish nun and canonized saint, Sister Faustyna Kowalska, known as the "Apostle of Mercy", who lived from 1905-1938.
[1] It is based upon the biblical verse: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you
[2] in that anyone who seeks God's mercy will not be turned away.
According to Kowalska,
Jesus, in inner speakings to her, requested her to commission a picture of him with the words Jezu Ufam Tobie (Jesus I Trust In You) inscribed on the bottom.
The Hour of Great Mercy
At three o'clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy , In this hour I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion. As often as you hear the clock strike the third hour immerse yourself completely in My mercy, adoring and glorifying it, invoke it's omnipotence for the whole world, and particularly for poor sinners, for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul. In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others for the asking; it was the hour of grace for the whole world - mercy triumphed over justice. Try your best to make the Stations of the Cross in this hour, provided that your duties permit it; and if you are not able to make the Stations of the Cross, then at least step into the chapel for a moment and adore, in the Most Blessed Sacrament. My Heart, which is full of mercy: and should you be unable to step into chapel. immerse yourself in prayer there where you happen to be, if only for a very brief instant.
1. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed.
2. Then on the Our Father Beads say the following: Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
3. On the 10 Hail Mary Beads say the following: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (Repeat step 2 and 3 for all five decades).
4. Conclude with (three times): Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Jesus asked that the Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena to the Divine Mercy which would begin on Good Friday. He gave St. Faustina an intention to pray for on each day of the Novena, saving for the last day the most difficult intention of all, the lukewarm and indifferent of whom He said: "These souls cause Me more suffering than any others; it was from such souls that My soul felt the most revulsion in the Garden of Olives. It was on their account that I said: 'My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass Me by.' The last hope of salvation for them is to flee to My Mercy." In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus told her: "On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy , On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls." The different souls prayed for on each day of the novena are:
DAY 1 (Good Friday) - All mankind, especially sinners
DAY 2 (Holy Saturday) - The souls of priests and religious
DAY 3 (Easter Sunday) - All devout and faithful souls
DAY 4 (Easter Monday) - Those who do not believe in Jesus and those who do not yet know Him
DAY 5 (Easter Tuesday) - The souls of separated brethren
DAY 6 (Easter Wednesday) - The meek and humble souls and the souls of children
DAY 7 (Easter Thursday) - The souls who especially venerate and glorify Jesus' mercy
DAY 8 (Easter Friday) - The souls who are detained in purgatory;
DAY 9 (Easter Saturday) - The souls who have become lukewarm.
During the Solemn Novena leading to Divine Mercy Sunday, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy should be offered each day for the day's intentions.
FEAST OF DIVINE MERCY (NEXT SUNDAY AFTER EASTER) Our Lord's Mercy grants forgiveness of all sins and punishment on the Feast of Divine Mercy, Mercy Sunday, mercy for even the most hardened sinners! It is the Sunday of Divine Mercy, the Feast of Mercy
May God bless you. Just the version I was searching for, I got it right here. Our Lady of Perpetual Help- Pray for us.
I thought you people have long ate them. That was just one of the means used to rig the last election. Refusal to give out PVC claiming they were not produced. So who are you telling now that they are lying waste? Nonsense! Packets of Evil people.
Emmanystone: No. It's not. It's Hellenistic. The kind of Prieathood Catholicism practices is Hellenistic. Celibacy in Priesthood is Hellenistic not Biblical.
Did Jesus Christ marry? Please don't get me wrong, and am not saying Jesus practised celibacy, but the Church decided to act in line with Jesus, so I don't know where your own perspective came from.
pode: Of which his own (permanent card) may likely come out before the week run out why me that registered 2013 have not yet receive my card There is God o
So me and you dey the same shoe for this Mata. Bros correction, him go don collect his own instantly not even before week runs out
dingbang: even in the Catholic church, there are members who still roll with the modern valentine way of celebration, So let's not act like saints. Yes we all know St Valentine "as we were taught" was a saint bla bla bla who was known for his acts of love.
Its unfortunate things have turned around but that doesn't mean we shouldn't celebrate love. We spend a lot of our energy criticizing others instead of leading by example. If u feel that Val's day to you means showing love to the poor then do it instead of pointing fingers on those who are living their lives the way they want it.
Your point is crystal clear, but the Thread Poster's point is that, non-catholic should stop criticizing the Catholics, even after criticizing, yet they stylishly practice what they do. I think that's what he is trying to say.
Speak Your Truth- The Revolution Has No tribe. Check this and get inspired by Nigerian
It's time we ask ourselves if Revolution has tribe. We have to stop this act of Nepotism, Tribalism and favoritism and call ourselves Nigerians disregarding where the other is from.
Phone. Too bad! I that's the reason I don't engage on phone calls, chatting or whatsoever in public until am home. I detest people with such an addiction! RIP Bro. This train can be very fast especial on no load. I will never forget the one that passed me at Offa, Kwara state, I only felt the breeze...
This is a question many young people today ask. But before I go deeply into this topic lets find out what virginity is all about. Virginity is the state of never having had sexual intercourse. It is really that simple if you have never had sexual intercourse you are a virgin.
Being a virgin is a good thing but I have noticed in today’s world that most people don’t appreciate or care for it like people in the previous generations did. Now people do everything humanly possible to lose their virginity.
Growing up many of us were taught the importance of virginity and how it will help our life by preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease but as we grew up we realize that keeping it is not as easy as we were made to believe and we beginning to question our belief and things we were made to believe.
Should I keep my virginity till I get married?
So back to the question should I keep my virginity till I get married. Being a virgin is a choice and it is really up to you to make your choice. Don’t be in a hurry to lose your virginity because others are losing theirs take your time and think it through.
Being a virgin its all about choice and your belief. Most people have decided to keep their virginity to prevent unwanted pregnancy and STDS. And others to not ruin their relationship with God.
BEING A VIRGIN IS NOT A CURSE NEITHER IS losing it something to Celebrate
Keeping your virginity all depends on your relationship with God and your relationship with yourself. At the end of the day its still your choice. Make the right decision
Leave a comment for me below tell me know what you think
God bless your act. You should be a model for some slay irresponsible so called queen they call themselves. I always embrace ladies with modesty, chastity and good virtue. May God give you the strength to keep it till marriage. I like your pride on your hood. Keep it up. #Peace
Well, social media is porous to anything. Most times I mind what I post online. Personally, I hate Instagram so I said I will never register there because when I saw activities on IG through my friends phone, I said its not necessary for me, probably meant for entertainers. Even as we type on NL, HRs are here reading...lol let just be careful online though. But seriously speaking am of the opinion that its not necessary to ask for Social Media ID.
Emmanystone: Pope, sir. Pls repent from your sins and ask Jesus into your life before you die. It's very important that you have the New Life Christ came to offer.
You believed and worshipped Mary and the Dead saints, that will not get you into heaven. Confess all the fornication you committed with the nuns and all the abortions you made them commit.
Very soon sir, you will meet Him who has no respect of persons. Be sure not to to told, Depart from you worker of iniquity.
Have you seek for God's mercy and forgiveness before you ask the Pope to do that? Have you removed the spec from your eyes before you saw that of Pope's? Have you ever in your life try to examine your conscience? If the Pope seek for God's mercy, will you know? Did the Catholic Church doctrines states She worship Mary, have you ever heard it before? Please, elucidate more in your opinion because its very opaque. In fact, I can't find any point there than 'criticism' which the church faces daily. Yours will not and never count. #Heretical
In a rare new letter penned by Benedict XVI, the retired pontiff said he is in the last phase of his life, and while his physical strength might be waning, he is surrounded by a “love and goodness” that he never imagined.
“I can only say that at the end of a slow decline in physical strength, inwardly I am in pilgrimage home,” Benedict XVI said in the letter, published Feb. 7 in Italian daily Corriere della Sera.
He said that “it's a great grace for me to be to be surrounded in this last piece of the road, which is at times a bit tiring, by a love and goodness that I could never have imagined.”
Benedict addressed the letter to Italian journalist Massimo Franco of Corriere della Sera, who was charged with the task of presenting the retired pontiff with letters expressing concern and asking about his well-being five years after resigning from the papacy.
He shocked the world when he announced his resignation Feb. 11, 2013, declaring that the See of Peter would be vacant as of 8p.m. on Feb. 28. A conclave was called to name his successor, and on March 13, 2013, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected Bishop of Rome, and took the name Francis.
In his letter, published Feb. 7 on the front page of Corriere della Sera, Benedict said he was moved that so many readers from the paper “want to know how I've spent this last period of my life.”
He said he considers the questions and concerns of the readers part of the love he has experienced, and sees them as “an accompaniment” on the last phase of his life.
“Because of this,” he said, “I cannot but be thankful, on my part assuring you all of my prayers. Best regards.”
AlfaSeltzer: People are sending cars to other planets and these ones are still carving trees.
...and what have you done? At least he has carved something, some sent cars out from this planet (as you have said) Useless boy. You deserve more words that the 'Useless' because I initially quoted the wrong person.
Rangojack: Permit me to say that you are ill-mannered sir/ma. I only laughed at a funny comment and there you are calling me "useless". That was very wrong of you.
Permit me to be apologetic about the comment too, but I personally don't like seeing people japing at some individuals who make out time to be productive. It hurts me. Yesterday, someone posted a comment here, filled with discouragement, I had to oppose it. Its time we have appreciate our own and develop it to be better standards instead of condemning or making comparison that may end up discouraging or demoralising the person. Am sorry one more time. I will say I was too fast in typing that last statement. I shall recall it back. Please, learn to appreciate the good work of others, it had a long way to go in our lives and society at large. Once more, accept my apologies. Sorry, I just discovered that you are the wrong person I quoted. Please forgive me again.
Handsomecole: The grammatical blunders in the write up is more than enough to discredit the article. "Prefer" instead of "Preferred " , just imagine " Here are the 6 reason" instead of "6 reasons" etc. Mtcheeew!!! . False hope.
People like you I know them, you know nothing but always spot people's errors or mistakes. If you are asked to speak in public, can you do it? Even within your mates, can you? Yet for an individual to write a short article, you condemn it! You are part of the "shithole" Trump refers to. Some Nigerians don't encourage, but discourage people. If you evaluate your life properly you'll find out you are not moving forward. How does B.sc makes you successful over HND? How many people with degrees made it to the apex level if not self development? I guess you may be thinking that Higher institution teaches you how to speak English and makes you boss. Our HND ought to be school of Tech or Uni. of Tech but due to mishap of Nigeria, they tend to turn things the opposite side. My friend studied in Russia, School of Technology, you that have B.sc here in Nigeria even with your M.sc are you better than him? Are you even better than an O'level Certificate holder in China, Japan, USA or even some individuals in Nigeria? "Check Yourself"- Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson)
