Kamsified my new date is 14th May.


Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all.

Kamsified:

MarvellousGod:
Thank you

Eehhh, how did you get to I would like 20?

Yeah, I choose 20..

hahaha, ain't we serving a marvellous God

Aizenosa:
I just looking at my mind in 3D, thanks

Blame it on the Spirit. You're welcome.

MarvellousGod:
What are we choosing? Date to start the novena?

I ask because I don't understand what you mean by date we wish to be prayed for

Cc: kamsified

I believe what she meant is that the 21days novena starts on the 10th, but every participant will have a day on which the brethren take care to make a specific mention of the person's "name" in their prayer. Note that 20th is still free

Ehm Rich4god, kamsified and co, whenever you start I choose 12th May. Make una tell Aizenosa o, e go de interested.

FrancisTony:
Indeed.
Nice one Syncan

Thanks bro. God bless you.

Aitee1:

Greetings to the brethren!

You're welcome again, you came in peace, so may the peace of Christ be with you.

FrancisTony:

jnrbayano:
As usual. This is great.

Thanks bros. God bless you.

I'm in on the novena. Meanwhile I welcome Aitee1, pls greet the brethren. A nice day to you.

Today's Gospel John 14:1-6

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God still, and trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s house; if there were not, I should have told you. I am going now to prepare a place for you,...

Indeed its big enough to accommodate all, as many as will bear true witness. ChineloSA, It will be a place of surprises; where you won't find some you expect to see and find some you never expected to see. Fembleez, It will be a place of glory, where worn out knees of prayer will shine like gold and humiliated personalities for Christ sake will glow in glory. Chy27, It will be a place of fraternity, where saints of ages gone welcomes you by name. Italo, It will be a place of rest, where the worries of life on earth are not remembered. How determined are you to get there, how much do you desire heaven, no one goes to heaven who does not desire it. If you desire heaven, now is the time to put your faith in practice, for faith without good works is dead of itself says St. James. Today we celebrate St. Joseph the worker, a model of good work, may he intercede for us all in our spiritual works, and for physical jobs for our unemployed.

Ubenedictus
Italo
Peppyluv
Debbie and co...
Tomorrow, we dey start may devotion, make Una come give us modus operandi on how we go do our own for this thread....

Jnrbayano, syncan... Abeg mk Una call register..

Where is SalC when you need her?

dynamicbuzz:
Thank you dear, you just made me feel better

You're welcome. May the joy of the Lord be your strength...as you pray for Syncan too.

dynamicbuzz:
Please I have got a question, when praying the 54 day novena, and mistakenly skip a day, can one pray that day's prayer into the next day?

I will say It's ok to make that effort, God sees the heart. Your novena is still on and going fine. Novenas are not magic wands that has set conditions, what God looks at is your effort.

smoothpapuzy:
But do you agree with me that the priests neglected there duty?
I mean, I don't own my life and can be called at anytime. What if other people have died as a result of the negligence!

No, because I have not heard from the priest, what if someone was dying? Do you still consider your case as more important? What if like Padre Pio they the got interior knowledge that you weren't prepared? I will not agree with you just like that, for even you have not acknowledged the truth in what I stated above.

smoothpapuzy:
Please advice me.
On two occasions, I've met with priest to hear my confession but they told they were busy and I should come on the day of confession.
As a Catholic I learnt that a priest will hear your confession anywhere you are, anywhere,.
But right there in the church, I was turned down by two different priest.
What if I had died, whose head would my sins lay?
Should I have bluntly reminded them it was there duty to save souls at any point in time?...

Please advice me, I need to know how to curb this!

For your sake, I will advise you not to take lightly the sacrament of penance, prepare yourself for it with the neccesary examination of conscience, contrition for your sin and resolution not to commit mortal sin again. When you do this, you'll be able to put into consideration the parish set time for confession, and make your preparations towards the day. If you can, get a spiritual director. I will not advise you to try force a priest to hear your confession. Let me stop here for now.

darknez:
That thought occurred to me but it wasn't very appealing, hence I dropped it. Absence of light is inadvertently implying an absence of God who we know is Light.

I believe God can (if he wants to) make it such that darkness exist nowhere. I believe he can (if he wants to) make it such no matter how we try make a room dark, light will always result. Looking at it from that perspective, I would say he created darkness.

What exactly is nothing? Empty space? If God created the Universe, then he did create nothing.

I won't want to prod you further in this line of thought as long as it stops with darkness, but that last sentence...somehow evokes a no no from the reader. No wahala bro, but beware, if Ubenedictus finds time he may want to sing and dance on this. .

SalC:
I know of the threat by ISIL, never knew Al qaeda did same. May God save us from them all.

Nne You may be right about the most recent threat, if you want to be specific. However for me, once such "fatwa" is given, its just a matter of "who go first catch am "among the terrorists.

peppyluv02:
Did you all see the breaking news? Our very own Vatican was the target of an al Qaeda attack! They (20 of them)were arrested in Italy just before they tried to carry out the attack on the Holy See.
These people are calling for a 3rd World war! May God continue to help us.

They had threatened to do that earlier, am not surprised. Let's continue to pray, there is real danger ahead.

peppyluv02:
Abeg na for dream o!

Still well done to you, because even for dream dem no go fit send me that message .

SalC:
The bold got me thinking, is it always we boldly and confidently do what God asks us to do? I mean when we have decerned that yes, it is the Lord who speaks, especially when such tasks are the 'not so easy' type.

We are most times more interested in the ones we consider rather easier and the one we are almost certain of how it will turn out. But it shouldn't be so. If Abraham was like this, he wouldn't have left his fathers land to an unknown place, and if he had not left, he wouldn't had accomplished the great task ahead of him and certainly wouldn't be the father of faith today.

This is why I commend Peppyluv002 as she continues to preach the gospel of peace in sambisa.

We should learn to trust God in difficult and uncertain situation while obeying his every command. He knows what is best for us and his yoke is easy.

Good morning brethren and do have a fulfilled day ahead

Yes ooooo. More power to you elbow peppyluv02.

darknez:
By inference, my guess would be before the beginning of time.

God is responsible for everything in existence through creation. Darkness was either created or has been from eternity just like God.

I prefer to say that only God has the attribute of being eternal while all others derive their eternity through him. If darkness wasn't by itself eternal, then it was created.

Question is, who created it? If God didn't then it is either someone else did or it just simply existed. I would prefer to go with the popular saying: "God did it!"

Hmm...Well if i may say my own sha, asking who created "darkness" could be like asking who created "nothing", For just as darkness is the absence of light, "nothing" is the absence of "something". Before creation, there was nothing, yet one does not go about saying God created nothing.

darknez:
God created it.

hahaha, that's a good one, but on which day?

darknez:
Thanks

You're welcome. Ehm ..no vex oga, but why you like darkness sef?

darknez:
The above is an extract from the Compendium. Can someone explain why they say God is not indirectly the cause of evil?

He neither created nor willed it. He created a good being and gave him free will, and willed that he does good. Evil comes from the choice of that being not to do good.

bchi:
Thanks all.
I love him so much, he do love me also
I have told him about his church severally, he said that I'm telling story until i comes in as his wife, he will decide if I will go to my church or not.
He is a serious catholic member, charismatic member.
I am So confused because my family and church members told me, he won't change because of him rather I will b the one. .
I don't want to leave him.
I don't just know what to do!

A practicing Catholic! You're even complaining of a charismatic, Chai...those who have good backside don't know how to sit; says the dog. You just hit Gold and you're here blabbing. It's hard to drop what you've been fed with, but it's time to find out truth yourself. Visit here:https://www.nairaland.com/1464338/thread-catholics#18554555, If you have objection lay it out there, if you have question ask, and you'll be clarified, so you can make a wise and informed decision.

SalC:
You all are always in my prayers, I miss you more.

Awww, that's so sweet. Thanks dear, God bless you loads.

SalC:
Chai sorry nah..been too busy lately that I can't help not being away.

Thanks for your inspiring posts

How have you been?

I see. To God be the glory. I am fine, thanks. Just missing the brethren.

SalC:
Good morning brethren, do have a grace filled day

Good morning, and where have you been

Happy Mothering Sunday to all mothers...mentioning: debbie,okpurukata,bluerange,chineloSA,ify124, as a point of contact to you all.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I give thanks to my God upon every remembrance of you. Philippians 1:2-3

Kamsified:
Waoh God just used you to prepare this message for me. Though I need Jesus hurry (if it's ok) cos the water is nearing my neck

God bless you for this and pls keep me in your prayers(that's if u still have a space on your list)

If you feel He is talking to you, then you're blessed. Do not worry about His timing at all, what difference did it make to Him that Lazarus was sick or dead? His timing is always perfect. God bless you too, you're on my list.
