@ Lady & Uche2nna

i have read this whole thread and i cldnt find anythn worth replyn to
matter of fact, i find it hilarious
what with the way, statements are being twisted
it is so so funny
reminds of Americans; every statement made by a popular person can have a million interpretatns
people jus twist to aid their own argument
funny


nyways, also wanted to add sumtin:
Jesus said to his Disciples, 'receive the holy spirit, whose sins that you forgive are forgiven and whose sins you retain are retained'
the disciples became new being. . .  . they became bold and fearless
Jesus appreared to a couple of people after his resurrection, he certainly didnt say that to them all

the sacrament of reconciliation means alot to every practising Catholic
it gives me as a person a new and fresh page
bcs it is complete reconcilatn. . .
the ability to even talk to someone, have someone advice you, pray with you is a huge blessn
people say we confess our sins to ordinary humans
i dnt blame them really because they dnt knw
everyday i go for confessn, is lik my birthday, and i try to keep the spirit. . . .

Guess itz my turn to ask:

where is PDF, Octupus, Ruddie, Doyin, Dino and oda honourable member s of this parliament?

i miss all your expert analysis. . . . .

nyways, i hv been follown sum intrestn results
Ivanovic and Serena did well this past months
and it actually got me thinking: who will end the year as world no 1?
seems Henin is strugln for the form that made her 'a killer' last yr
Sharapova came out smoking until recently, no thnx to injuries
Henin is yet to paly in any finals this year let alone win it. . . . .
thou im very glad Serena beat her on tues _{i wish it is grand slam} i still miss seeing Henin in her best form
so my question is who do u thnk will end the year as world no 1?


or the guys it is still the same story
fedex is still searchn for this first title
Novak has tow already. . . . .
Tsonga's light seem to have been extingushed after the AO
Murray is well Murray
Nadal is still searching
Roddick isnt doin badly
Nickolai and Blake?. . . . still fightn hard
so will be the world no 1?
will Fedex improve and get back his form?

at the grand slam AO, it looked as if it will the yr for the younger generation of tennis players. . . . . .

tell me what u thnk!

Oby1:

Remembering Pope John Paul II[color=#000099][/color]
Today marks three years since the passing of Pope John Paul II. On April 2, 2005, Pope John Paul II passed away. He was in his 27th year as pope, one of the longest reigning popes in history. Despite illness and infirmity, he tirelessly preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He defended life in all its forms, wrote prolifically on Catholic topics such as the Eucharist and the rosary, pleaded for peace in the world and created more Roman Catholic saints than any other pope. It is said that he was the most recognized man in the world and he is by far the most widely travelled pope in history.

Pam, tnx for this post
i truely love Pope John Paul II
he was so full of love and  compassion
the epitome of a good Christian life. . . . .
i admire(d) him alot.

Todays Saint

St. Stephen of Mar Saba

A "do not disturb" sign helped today's saint find holiness and peace.
Stephen of Mar Saba was the nephew of St. John Damascene, who introduced the young boy to monastic life beginning at age 10. When he reached 24, Stephen served the community in a variety of ways, including guest master. After some time he asked permission to live a hermit's life. The answer from the abbot was yes and no: Stephen could follow his preferred lifestyle during the week, but on weekends he was to offer his skills as a counselor. Stephen placed a note on the door of his cell: "Forgive me, Fathers, in the name of the Lord, but please do not disturb me except on Saturdays and Sundays."

Despite his calling to prayer and quiet, Stephen displayed uncanny skills with people and was a valued spiritual guide.

His biographer and disciple wrote about Stephen: "Whatever help, spiritual or material, he was asked to give, he gave. He received and honored all with the same kindness. He possessed nothing and lacked nothing. In total poverty he possessed all things."

Stephen died in 794.

Jesoul,

when u say something worth commenting on
u will surely get a response from me. . . . . .

JeSoul:
Did I not say :
"When a person cannot scripturally counter your argument they resort to
1[b]. Accuse you of judging them[/b]
2. Accuse you of misinterpreting or misquoting them
3. Dance around the questions and return answers that have nuthin to do with the discussion
4. They say they'll leave, pretending to be outraged/offended"

same old lines. . . . . .

Oby1:
i understand your position now, untill after your programme. I bet u will see d difference it will make in your life.

i really hope so!

Oby1:

ROFLMAO

Oby1:
Viee na u dey ask that question, u don forget sey e dey by d side dey watch

sori i forget say we b television for oga di law

JeSoul:
Notice this, they are confessing to a priest, and it is the priest that "absolves" or forgives their sins. This is in direct contradiction to numerous scriptures that teaches that God only forgives sins, and that there is only 1 mediator between man and God:



Roman catholic church is the greatest deception today and she will sadly take many down with her to hell.[/b]

why not say what you know and understand?
suddenly you know who is goin the hell and who is not
u can read the Holy Bible from page one to the last and quote it, it really dsnt mean a thing. . . . . . .
try to be more careful with the words you use
why not?. . . . . . . even Jesus himself was/is

@Lady

Glory Glory Glory to Jesus
Honour Honour to Mary.

Today's Saint/ Feast


Annunciation of the Lord

The feast of the Annunciation goes back to the fourth or fifth century. Its central focus is the Incarnation: God has become one of us. From all eternity God had decided that the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity should become human. Now, as Luke 1:26-38 tells us, the decision is being realized. The God-Man embraces all humanity, indeed all creation, to bring it to God in one great act of love. Because human beings have rejected God, Jesus will accept a life of suffering and an agonizing death: “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13).
Mary has an important role to play in God’s plan. From all eternity God destined her to be the mother of Jesus and closely related to him in the creation and redemption of the world. We could say that God’s decrees of creation and redemption are joined in the decree of Incarnation. As Mary is God’s instrument in the Incarnation, she has a role to play with Jesus in creation and redemption. It is a God-given role. It is God’s grace from beginning to end. Mary becomes the eminent figure she is only by God’s grace. She is the empty space where God could act. Everything she is she owes to the Trinity.

She is the virgin-mother who fulfills Isaiah 7:14 in a way that Isaiah could not have imagined. She is united with her son in carrying out the will of God (Psalm 40:8-9; Hebrews 10:7-9; Luke 1:38).

Together with Jesus, the privileged and graced Mary is the link between heaven and earth. She is the human being who best, after Jesus, exemplifies the possibilities of human existence. She received into her lowliness the infinite love of God. She shows how an ordinary human being can reflect God in the ordinary circumstances of life. She exemplifies what the Church and every member of the Church is meant to become. She is the ultimate product of the creative and redemptive power of God. She manifests what the Incarnation is meant to accomplish for all of us.

Comment:

Sometimes spiritual writers are accused of putting Mary on a pedestal and thereby discouraging ordinary humans from imitating her. Perhaps such an observation is misguided. God did put Mary on a pedestal and has put all human beings on a pedestal. We have scarcely begun to realize the magnificence of divine grace, the wonder of God’s freely given love. The marvel of Mary—even in the midst of her very ordinary life—is God’s shout to us to wake up to the marvelous creatures that we all are by divine design.

Quote:

“Enriched from the first instant of her conception with the splendor of an entirely unique holiness, the virgin of Nazareth is hailed by the heralding angel, by divine command, as ‘full of grace’ (cf. Luke 1:28). To the heavenly messenger she replies: ‘Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word’ (Luke 1:38). Thus the daughter of Adam, Mary, consenting to the word of God, became the Mother of Jesus. Committing herself wholeheartedly and impeded by no sin to God’s saving will, she devoted herself totally, as a handmaid of the Lord, to the person and work of her Son, under and with him, serving the mystery of redemption, by the grace of Almighty God” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, 56).

sori abt your Mom Ebos

nyways, nice to be with u all again

my dear i dey lik dat ooo

how bodi?

Lindiwe:
Did you know that our late Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, decreed that every Second Sunday of Easter should be observed as Divine Mercy Sunday? Thus, Sunday, 30 March 2008, will be Divine Mercy Sunday.

During the Mass of canonization of St. Maria Faustina on April 30, 2000, Pope John Paul II proclaimed: "It is important then that we accept the whole message that comes to us from the word of God on this Second Sunday of Easter, which from now on throughout the Church, will be called Divine Mercy Sunday." The readings on that Sunday are always about mercy, trust and the forgiveness of sins.

According to the Diary of St. Maria Faustina, our Lord Jesus said regarding the Divine Mercy Sunday:

"The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet, Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy." (Diary 699)

"I want to grant a complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of My mercy" (Diary 1109).
"Whoever approaches the Fountain of Life on this day will be granted complete forgiveness of sins and punishment" (Diary 300).
To encourage the faithful to observe the day with intense devotion, Pope John Paul II enriched the day with Plenary Indulgence. You can read the Decree for Divine Mercy Sunday here http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/tribunals/apost_penit/documents/rc_trib_appen_doc_20020629_decree-ii_en.html. The plenary indulgence does not change the promises of Our Lord. Rather it provides the Church's highest mark of approval and endorsement.

Please note there are conditions for gaining Plenary Indulgence http://www.ourladyswarriors.org/indulge/plenary.htm. You can click on this link to better understand the Meaning of Indulgence http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07783a.htm

Other useful sites you may wish to visit regarding Divine Mercy Sunday are http://divinemercysunday.com/ and http://www.divinemercysunday.com/plenary_indulgence.htm. I earnestly encourage you to visit these sites.

May our Risen Lord who has opened the Fount of Mercy for us grant us His Mercies. AMEN.

Please spread the message; it is part of deeds of mercy.

Thank you for sharing this!!!!

Oby1:
Greetings to you all. Viee how was your text

my dear it was very ok
thnx
how u dey now?
whatz our plans for Easter??

Lindiwe:
For every good work performed in the state of GRACE, we merit an increase of Sanctifying Grace. Prayer is a good work, a meritorious action, because it includes in itself many virtues. In prayer we offer to God our profound homage and reverence; we praise and magnify the Most High as the King of infinite majesty, as the creator of Heaven and earth. We join in the thrice repeated "Holy" of the Angelic spirits. All these acts are exceedingly precious in the eyes of God.

Further, prayer is the practice of faith, hope and charity; the practice of humilty and gratitude, an expression of confidence in and resignation to the Will of God. How many acts of virtue are contained in a devout prayer! We may well say that prayer is the most excellent of all good works, because no other good work comprises so many acts of virtue, and by no other good work is God more honoured and glorified. If other good works such as fasting and almsgiving, effect an increase of Sanctifying Grace, how much more will a devout prayer augment Sanctifying in our souls!

This increase of Sanctifying Grace is an infinitely great gain. Is there anything more precious than the Blood of Christ? A singlre drop of the Precious Blood of our Saviour surppases in value all the treasures of this world. And this Blood of Christ is the purchase price of Sanctifying Grace. The Saints owe their eternal happiness solely and exclusively to the fact that they are in possession of Sanctifying Grace, and the reprobate will eternally suffer dreadful torments on account of the loss of GRACE.

Oh! how precious is Sanctifying Grace! It makes us children and friends of God, transforms the inmost being of our soul; elevates us to the nobility of Heaven; makes us participators of the Divine nature(2 Pet. 1: 4). Indeed it verily deifies us. This is the sublime reward we merit by prayer. Ought we not to take delight in praying, since the recompense is so infinitely great?

this is lovely. . . . morn peeps
