Today's Saint St. Rose Philippine Duchesne (1769-1852) Born in Grenoble, France, of a family that was among the new rich, Philippine learned political skills from her father and a love of the poor from her mother. The dominant feature of her temperament was a strong and dauntless will, which became the material—and the battlefield—of her holiness. She entered the convent at 19 without telling her parents and remained despite their opposition. As the French Revolution broke, the convent was closed, and she began taking care of the poor and sick, opened a school for street urchins and risked her life helping priests in the underground. When the situation cooled, she personally rented her old convent, now a shambles, and tried to revive its religious life. The spirit was gone, and soon there were only four nuns left. They joined the infant Society of the Sacred Heart, whose young superior, St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, would be her lifelong friend. In a short time Philippine was a superior and supervisor of the novitiate and a school. But her ambition, since hearing tales of missionary work in Louisiana as a little girl, was to go to America and work among the Indians. At 49, she thought this would be her work. With four nuns, she spent 11 weeks at sea en route to New Orleans, and seven weeks more on the Mississippi to St. Louis. She then met one of the many disappointments of her life. The bishop had no place for them to live and work among Native Americans. Instead, he sent her to what she sadly called "the remotest village in the U.S.," St. Charles, Missouri. With characteristic drive and courage, she founded the first free school for girls west of the Mississippi. It was a mistake. Though she was as hardy as any of the pioneer women in the wagons rolling west, cold and hunger drove them out—to Florissant, Missouri, where she founded the first Catholic Indian school, adding others in the territory. "In her first decade in America Mother Duchesne suffered practically every hardship the frontier had to offer, except the threat of Indian massacre—poor lodging, shortages of food, drinking water, fuel and money, forest fires and blazing chimneys, the vagaries of the Missouri climate, cramped living quarters and the privation of all privacy, and the crude manners of children reared in rough surroundings and with only the slightest training in courtesy" (Louise Callan, R.S.C.J., Philippine Duchesne). Finally, at 72, in poor health and retired, she got her lifelong wish. A mission was founded at Sugar Creek, Kansas, among the Potawatomi. She was taken along. Though she could not learn their language, they soon named her "Woman-Who-Prays-Always." While others taught, she prayed. Legend has it that Native American children sneaked behind her as she knelt and sprinkled bits of paper on her habit, and came back hours later to find them undisturbed. She died in 1852 at the age of 83. Quote“We cultivate a very small field for Christ, but we love it, knowing that God does not require great achievements but a heart that holds back nothing for self, The truest crosses are those we do not choose ourselves, He who has Jesus has everything.” JOURNEY WITH THE SAINTS The more we empty ourselves, the more room we give God to fill us, The more you forget yourself, the more Jesus will think of you. The more you detach yourself from self, the more attached Jesus is to you. Mother Teresa of Calcutta. "Lord Jesus, help us to stand up for our faith and be a witness to you in our daily life. I pray for those who suffer persecution and punishment in other nations for their profession of faith in you. Help all Christains to stand like Eleazar as a model of courage [b](Maccabees 6:18-31)[/b]and nobility in the face of challenges to our faith." |

I hope this very thread can serve as a Reference Point. Oby has tried to post the earthly lifestyles of the Saints on daily basis. Someone can easily go back to this thread to get information. I know it will help a lot. @oby It’s nice to reemphasis my intention to participate. You now know how serious I take the Procession. However, if tomorrow I fail to participate – you all will understand that my failure is not deliberate. So, I shall join the Procession. I like taking challenge, if some other persons can join the Procession and participate untiringly, why not me. I have contacted a serious friend to check on me that very day. He will hearten me to queue with the crowd. Viee just said there is a lot of fun but I don’t know what kind of fun she’s talking about. Maybe, I will see the fun of it. @viee You were among the few declared missing - luckily you have been found while the other person(s) whereabouts still unknown. So, welcome back, you were lost and now you are found. Though, you may not be the lost sheep but you may be comparable …. |
Re: Glory To Jesus, Honour To Mary! All The Real Catholics Please Stand Up! by ebos(m): 4:32pm On Nov 20, 2007 |
@Oby You see the problem. The so-called Christians have not heard about Mcabbees and the rest. That is why I said they have been brainwashed and handed over twisted bibles. They are yet to realize that what they are using is not complete bible. They only read the gospel and other books but they think Christianity and role model stopped with the Apostles. Limited or half knowledge of Christianity is the cause of katakata, yet they feel knowing it all. The fake Preachers have not told them when they are hiding from them. |

Today's Saint 21.11.07 Feast of the Presentation of Mary Mary’s presentation was celebrated in Jerusalem in the sixth century. A church was built there in honor of this mystery. The Eastern Church was more interested in the feast, but it does appear in the West in the 11th century. Although the feast at times disappeared from the calendar, in the 16th century it became a feast of the universal Church. As with Mary’s birth, we read of Mary’s presentation in the temple only in apocryphal literature. In what is recognized as an unhistorical account, the Protoevangelium of James tells us that Anna and Joachim offered Mary to God in the Temple when she was three years old. This was to carry out a promise made to God when Anna was still childless. Though it cannot be proven historically, Mary’s presentation has an important theological purpose. It continues the impact of the feasts of the Immaculate Conception and of the birth of Mary. It emphasizes that the holiness conferred on Mary from the beginning of her life on earth continued through her early childhood and beyond. Quote "Hail, holy throne of God, divine sanctuary, house of glory, jewel most fair, chosen treasure house, and mercy seat for the whole world, heaven showing forth the glory of God. Purest Virgin, worthy of all praise, sanctuary dedicated to God and raised above all human condition, virgin soil, unplowed field, flourishing vine, fountain pouring out waters, virgin bearing a child, mother without knowing man, hidden treasure of innocence, ornament of sanctity, by your most acceptable prayers, strong with the authority of motherhood, to our Lord and God, Creator of all, your Son who was born of you without a father, steer the ship of the Church and bring it to a quiet harbor" (adapted from a homily by St. Germanus on the Presentation of the Mother of God). |

MEDITATION OF THE DAY [b]The creator of the world will give you back both breath and life.[b](Maccabees 7:1.20-31) If we read this whole chapter 7 of Maccabees. There is this mother of seven sons who watched her 7 sons killed, she is one such example of heroic virtue. She didn't shrink back when forced to watch the torture and murder of each of her sons successively. When her youngest son was promised a bright future if he would comply with the demands of his captors, she helped to fortify his resolve to stand by eternal values. The reservoir of her courage was that she knew God in such a way that she trusted him totally. This Mother's courage was founded in a deep faith in God, that he was "the Creator of the world, who shaped the beginning of man and devised the origin of all things." She believed too in his mercy and love and that he would give life to those who would "forget (themselves) for the sake of his laws" (2 Maccabees 7:23). In her hear and mind she knew the truth of God and believed he was worthy of complete and total dedication-even to death. Her firm belief in God and his promises led to her actions. JOURNEY WITH THE SAINTS My Jesus, how good it is to love you! Let us be as two friends, neither of whom can ever bear to offend the other. St. John Vianney. |

Sure procession is always spirit filled, with different societies in the church coming together, Is either you join the St.Jude society, the sacred heart of Jesus, Charismatics, choir, legion of Mary. Infact the last time I participated, i joined all the societies, if I dance with this one, i will leave i join another. I remember this song by the sacred Heart of Jesus society, if you like u can join me: JESUS IS PASSING THIS WAY THIS WAY, THIS WAY JESUS IS PASSING THIS WAY IS PASSING THIS WAY TODAY What touched so much, was on our way passing through some hospitals some sick ones came out to receive the touch of healing from Jesus who is passing through. |

@pilgrim I had not visited this thread for sometime.just saw your reply to some of my past posts. I am pleased that all your arguements are not out of line with what i 'm used to hearing from penticos , taking issues out of context and misintepreting them. Assuming you don't know,be informed that words,phrases,sentences,statements take different meanings when taken out of context. You quoted where Judith was referred to as "glory of Isreal" and you say the book is not inspired scripture? I didnt see that before i commented that she and other great men /women of old are 'glory of Isreal ' contextually. Your attempt to denigrate the book of Judith is unfortunate. Early chriatians being mostly gentiles used diaporal scripture(old testament in use by jews who grew up outside the homeland) They used the so-called apocryphal books or 2nd canon.They were accepted as inspired by Jews of the era and area. If you say na devil write Judith and the rest, well that will join your other gaffes! |

The BIG problem is the quality that goes into making Catholic doctrines.When you have a college of Bishops with a combination of over 10,000 PH.Ds,over 3000 of them Professors(in different fields of scripture,theology,philosophy,language etc) Would one expect what they comprehend and bring out to be easy for some of these penticos to understand and accept? That 's one of the reason words and phrases confuse them.A well educated person should look at issue contextually and challenge it statements based on the context they are used. I am interested in matter of "SOLA SCRIPTURA' mentioned by pilgrim1 and i state "The Scripture is not the only source of teaching for the Church" |

alliednetw: Ecclesiastes 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.. Therein lies your sorrows. With all their education, the Holy Fathers of the RCC have never agreed on anything. Go and ask your priest about your Holy Fathers. Unfortunately, their social/ducational achievements have intimidated you into swallowing their sophistries without thinking. You have blinded yourself to the extent that when your leaders commit blunders, you wont see it cos you cant or are too lazy to question them? Your claimed your popes are infallible, yet the same RCC have anathemised the same popes you claimed are infallible. Cant you just open your outer eyes and see the serious deceptions going on in your Head Quarters about that dogma of infallibility? alliednetw: The above only suggests that you are probably not 'well-educated' because you simply cant understand simple words as they are. Jesus says He is the only way, the truth and life, nobody comes to the Father, except [/b]by Him. But you and your marain apparitions come and claims to be a co-redemtrix and a mediatrix, and a saviour togther with Jesus and you sit there and say the bible is not the only source of teaching. Do you know that the doctrines of mariolatory was never in the earliest dogmas of the church of Rome and that it was smuggled in along the line? I know they must have taught you that it was 'Peter' that taught you so. Go and ask about th Holy Fathers of the RCC once again. St. Augustine Liguori, a Vatican approved bishop and writer whose books the priests use till today legitimised sin. [b]St. Liguori says that we must not rebuke the penitent priest who falls only once a month. Go and ask your priest if that doctrine is false and you think those priests are gods! They are a unch of decievers playing on your intelligence. Tjhey know what they do and what they have sold their souls into but find it difficult to run out of babylon! On the Sola Scriptua thing that catches your fancy, perhaps, this qustion might be of help: If the bible says the way to go is to turn towards the right, (for hypothetical purposes), and we now have another 'source' or traditions that says the way to go is the right, we can say okay, the traditions do not contradict the bible. So we all rest. But if on the other hand, the alternate sources say turn left, when the bible says turn right, what should we do? Should we have a contradiction if both 'sources' are of God? Should it not rather be a corroboration? Your traditions have always negated the teachings of the bible, hence, either the bible is not of God or your traditions is demonic. I live that for you to decide. |

alliednetw: While it is good to acquire knowledge, when it comes to the things of the God, your qualifications are worthless. The apostels where mainly fishers of men who probably were never lettered let alone acquiring doctorates. If this people could be used of God to understand spiritual things and were commissioned by Christ to continue his work on earth, wy do you now emphasize the otiose qualities of these men that have succeeded in confusing you and using one high mass of low mass to enrich themselves to remove your poor souls from a fictitious purgatory? Dont let anyone deceive you with some credentials. God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. alliednetw: If Peter, James, John, Andrew, etc, did not go to college before being 'qualified' to lead the church then, it implies that your Bishops', Priests, Carinals, Popes, credentials should never come to the fore when talking of understandijg spiritual matters. alliednetw: We 'penticos' [/b]would rather look at issues ourselves from the bible. [b]1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.. The people that Paul taught in those days in Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Did you see that? They SEARCHED the scriptures daily (not traditions of men), you see were you lack? |

Your bible defines sin as: 1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the [b]transgression of the law From the Hebrew scriptures,YHWH showed Daniyl this prophecy: Dan 7:25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time Do you see this prophecy coming to pass? in these words: 29 Candid Confessions of the Catholic Church! "From this same Catholic Church you have accepted your Sunday, and that Sunday, as the Lord's day, she had handed down as a tradition; and the entire Protestant world has accepted it as tradition, for you have not an iota of Scripture to establish it. Therefore that which you have accepted as your rule of faith, inadequate as it of course it is, as well as your Sunday, you have accepted on the authority of the Roman Catholic Church." D. B. Ray, The Papal Controversy, 1892, page 179 30 Candid Confessions of the Catholic Church! "I have repeatedly offered $1000 to anyone who can prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the holy Catholic Church alone. The Bible says, 'Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.' The Catholic Church says: 'No. By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week.' And lo! The entire civilized world bows down in a reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church. Priest Thomas Enright, CSSR, President of Redemptorist College, Kansas City, Missouri, in a lecture at Hartford, Kansas, and printed in the American Sentinel, June 1883, a New York Roman Catholic journal. 31 Candid Confessions of the Catholic Church! "The Catholic Church for over one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her Divine mission, changed the day [of worship] from Saturday to Sunday. , The Christian Sabbath is therefore to this day the acknowledged offspring of the Catholic Church, as Spouse of the Holy Ghost, without a word of remonstrance from the Protestant world." Editorial, The Catholic Mirror (Baltimore), September 23, 1893. Remember it is written! You have the referrences, go search them out, what more proof do you need of the fulfillment of this prophecy? The RCC has just told you how and why they changed YHWH'S shabbat Law Exd 20:8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Exd 20:9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, Exd 20:10 but the seventh day is the Shabbat of YHWH your Father. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. Exd 20:11 For in six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore YHWH blessed the Shabbat and hallowed it. |

Today's Saint St. Cecilia (3rd century) Although Cecilia is one of the most famous of the Roman martyrs, the familiar stories about her are apparently not founded on authentic material. There is no trace of honor being paid her in early times. A fragmentary inscription of the late fourth century refers to a church named after her, and her feast was celebrated at least in 545. According to legend, Cecilia was a young Christian of high rank betrothed to a Roman named Valerian. Through her influence Valerian was converted, and was martyred along with his brother. The legend about Cecilia’s death says that after being struck three times on the neck with a sword, she lived for three days, and asked the pope to convert her home into a church. Since the time of the Renaissance she has usually been portrayed with a viola or a small organ. Quote “Liturgical action is given a more noble form when sacred rites are solemnized in song, with the assistance of sacred ministers and the active participation of the people, Choirs must be diligently promoted, but bishops and other pastors must ensure that, whenever the sacred action is to be celebrated with song, the whole body of the faithful may be able to contribute that active participation which is rightfully theirs, Gregorian chant, other things being equal, should be given pride of place in liturgical services. But other kinds of sacred music, especially polyphony, are by no means excluded, Religious singing by the people is to be skillfully fostered, so that in devotions and sacred exercises, as also during liturgical services, the voices of the faithful may ring out” (Constitution on the Liturgy, 112-118). MEDITATION OF THE DAY We will follow the covenant of our ancestors (Maccabees 2:15-29) Mattathias steadfastness and faithfulness to God inspired the whole family. Despite offers of worldly honors such as being identified as "friends of the king" (1 Maccabees 2:18) which conferred special priviledge in the king's court, the right to wear distinctive hats and robes, and guaranteed riches in return for submission to the king's edict-Mathathias remained faithful to the one true God. We can learn from his example. How we live now prepares us for eternity. It is a question of knowing in advance the time and place of judgement, and changing our lives in the light of that knowledge. Rather, we are called to remain faithful to God, despite whatever worldly rewards and esteem we might gain by compromising. And how do we muster the strength to remain faithful? We see a clue through the example of Mattathias: "He was burned with zeal and his heart was stirred" (1 Maccabees2:24). This inner zeal is a work of God in us which grows as we come before him in word and sacrament with hearts seeking to know him. God shows himself to those who seek him and inflames their hearts with a burning love for him. Let us turn our hearts to the heavens and seek God. PRAYER "Lord God, show yourself to us. Let us burn with zeal and let our heart be stirred for love of you. In this way, help us to be faithful to you." AMEN |

Thank God for big Mama and I pray that God will help us to squeeze out little time out of our busy schedule to serve him. Your quote "My mama go represent me well" reminds me of the Gospel homily on Tuesday by the presiding priest in the mass. He said on that judgement day, we are going to stand alone to give our own account, our brother, sister, mother or father will not be dir to represent us. I still be small boy o!Small boy no mustach Quick teaser, I de find wife o!, But i de fear all this women i de see, ONLY GOD GO HELP ME, lol (At times teaser no dey bi teaser) Why u go fear when you get the Almighty God, the same God that sent Angel Raphael in the book of TOBIT to Tobias to accompany him to locate his wife.
