Expect You MIRACLE Today & Every Day or You Might...

Only those who expect MIRACLES in every part of every day....live lives filled with MIRACLES and far more graces & Blessings than the average person alive on earth.

We receive what we we expect.

If you or I wake up anticipating bad news...

Guess what your phone will ring all day with problems.

For everyone who knows that Johnny or Jane expects days filled with problems....

Others assume that Johnny & Jane are exactly who they are to call & visit with every single delima that not only they personally encounter...

But recommend Johnny & Jane to each person they meet and greet along every single street whether in Ponchatoula Louisiana...

Or on the coast of Madagascar, Nigeria, Malawi, Egypt, India or Yugoslavia.

Earth geography never limits God's laws of deliverance, blessing or prosperity.

Nor is God ever limited by our circumstances.

We can always accept less than God's best and settle for what others are content with....

Or we can reach out for HIS greater gifts.

Jesus said:  "Far greater things than these you shall do...

For I go to my Father at HIS right hand and anything I ask is mine anything you ask in my Name My Father & I shall do for you & through you!"

Living A Lie Or Contradiction is Not New To Many Catholics Today!

It is a shame that a large percentage of Christians and possibly the percentage of Catholics who have accepted as truth into their hearts a peculiar twist of Satan's lies.

That is, if I am silent and do not make a case for against any particular issue then I am not taking part in whatever the sin of day is...

Then that they are not committing and therefore are not responsible.

However GOD says:  IF YOU ARE NOT HOT OR COLD I WILL SPIT YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH!"

I was wearing today a button pinned to my bright pink jacket that reads: PRAY FOR ABORTION TO END!"

 At a Graduation lunch in a New Orleans Catholic Parish the Sunday following Father's Day 2013...I was astounded the responses I received & conversation it spawned.

I expect this kind of confrontation if & wear it to the grocery store but not to Catholic Holy Mass & to a party of Catholic Families at a Catholic Church.

I was told that "Even if I personally would not abort my child, I don't have the right nor do you have right to suggest to others what they should do!"

Well is preaching & teaching the Holy Gospel suggesting to folks a better way to live???

And so this statement contradicts the entire life of a christian for we are called to always live by the Holy Scriptures that say:  "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!"

Let HIS life, HIS joy, HIS mercy which endures forever never cease from parting from our lips!

We are to be imitators of God who calls each by name and who speaks good things into being at all times....

We are to like God embracing all that befalls us with great FAITH...speaking hope to the hopeless and life into the dead!

I pray you see this contradiction that we all plainly see and hear all over where ever we go...

Maybe you never thought of in this perspective.

EstherStephanada!

We All Can Receive MIRACLES and Be Vessels Through Which God Grants MIRACLES to Others

Though we must not be afraid of what others will say or think,

Nor can we be controlled by other's opinions are talk of us.

We who desire to be chases down by both blessings and MIRACLES that never cease but only keep multiplying with our joyful smiles and laughter in spite of devils who seek and track us...

We must keep on keeping on singing regardless who is murmuring behind our backs.

As we heard in last Sunday's Gospel the Lord was not concerned of who what about who HE is...

And so shall we must be continuing to bless others with our smiles and songs...there will always be someone like our former next door neighbor Veronica on Alvin Callender Street when we with God were building our home...

She came outside yelling one day not able to understand how not even hers & her nephews hateful actions against us could not kill our spirits.

She came outside as I was singing new songs through joyful tears...tears that our neighbors were trying to stifle the rebuilding of our home.

What we had completed the day before our neighbors had punched holes into in the night...

But I sang new songs to the God above knowing HE who watches through the night from HIS throne up above not only saw the crimes against us in the night but had the power to restore not only that which the angry jealous locusts had stolen...

They who were filled with jealousy, anger and hate and have never been loved nor have loved themselves....

No different than the Ponchatoula local native neighbors who say out of one side of their mouth that they are going to build Ponchatoula into a thriving economic marketing business center, yet they tie up themselves in bondage that they cannot grow...

By shunning newcomers who choose to make Ponchatoula home!

No town or city will ever grow & prosper past the point they are today without welcoming new citizens not only physically into their neighborhoods, and into the community and church families.

Regardless how many families come and are shunned they will eventually move on in the same numbers or even more.

For every family and community has both sincere and insincere folks whom they call their own.

Those whose hearts are pure but were born within a thorny city among hateful tit-tat chatter boxes who love not...

Eventually these too will choose to move onto a better place where they will not be embarrassed by their previous associations whether blood or geographic.

No they will follow the lead of those who come full of life seeking to bless an entire community when they first arrived...but refuse to live an entire life time among grumblers and wishy -washy complainers.

As Joyce Meyer has taught over the years....one can choose to complain and remain and go around and around a same old mountain of a pill.

Or you & I and each of us can reach out and beyond our circumstances for another new dream...when others fight to long and hard resisting thy kindness and blessing...

As Jesus said:  "Shake of their dust and move on..."

Such cities will never grow but as Sodom & Gomorrah will be your town or city who shuns the hearts who of those who enter bearing kindness and generosity of their grateful loving hearts...

Such a town or city will never grow but die  from their own choices....their own deception...

The fruit never falls far from the tree and the selfish resentful hearts wither and never blossom but rather their self-righteousness they fatten and fluff and spread as an eagle spreads its wings...

Then they go around time gloating convincing themselves and each other that they together did a good thing.

: 2 men sue Chicago archdiocese, allege priest molested them in ’60s - Chicago Sun-Times and this priest is consecrating Holy Mass now in Louisiana: Diocese of Chicago has lied!

Date: Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 5:38 AM

Subject: 2 men sue Chicago archdiocese, allege priest molested them in '60s - Chicago Sun-Times

Wake up Catholics of America!! Our Bishops have been lieing all along!  Be careful to discern before you learn and copy-cat what your Pastor or Parish priest says & does today...not all are priestly but merely in priests clothing.

This priest has not been stripped of his priesthood but has been consecrating Holy Masses but not in a Holy Way at least since  August 20, 2012   when he after asking for Sacramental anointing for my blood pressure...he ridiculed me for "genuflecting. His Words: "You are to never genuflect to the host. (He failed to say to Jesus) You are no longer a slave but a friend and friends don't ever genuflect to friends they shake hands! " as he motioned with his arms and hands. "

 And on Thursday of last week June 20, 2013 as I genuflected to receive Our Lord's Body from him once again, he holding Our Lord between his thumb and forefinger, raised that same hand back clenching his fist grimacing his face in anger at me as if he would punch me in the mouth & knock my teeth out. But I still opened my mouth anyway to receive my Lord upon my tongue. I heard my Lord say several things as I went down in genuflection "Though you walk in this valley of death fear no evil not even this man though he is in priests clothing. "

 He was not gentle as most priests & Eucharistic Ministers as he "Msgr Baranowski who these call Belinsky...placed Him (to this priest out of his own mouth calls it a host...not The Lord). Wake uo Catholics across USA your Bishops are lieing to you. Most of these they say have been stripped of their priesthood have not, they are just moved and introduced to a new community of potential vicims with a name change. This evil man actually told me "I am a psychiatrist BARANOWSKI .and if I were still practicing you would be.....his pride could not hide behind his name change and when he layed hands on my head to administer the sacrament of the sick he did so lustfully. Sad that not only was it a good thing I was with my husband then...that in today's world some women cannot even go to Holy Mass without the threat of pedophile priests after them

2 men sue Chicago archdiocese, allege priest molested them in '60s - Chicago Sun-Times
Two men are suing the Chicago Archdiocese and a former priest, claiming he molested them during unsupervised overnight trips more than 50 years ago. The plaintiffs — now both in their mid-60s — say they met then-priest Alexander Sylvester Baranowski when they were students at St. Wenceslaus grammar school in Chicago.

Blogs about priestly defiance observed and reported to Vatican

Greetings Dear  Friends!

William & I love you all so much!!!

We cannot even imagine being without your sincerity of heart...your  friendship & thus we love you all so so much.... Abner & Fatima and always pray for you, your attentions and families.

William & I just after leaving St Anselm immediately after you Deacon Abner laid hands on my husband following Msgr Baranowski's ... Holy Mass.

I know that they call him Msgr Belinsky, but he himself called himself "Baranowski" when on my birthday Monday August 20, 2012  I asked for sacramental anointing me for my high blood pressure that was erratic because we were constantly moving.  And he is one of many the Catholic Church keeps moving and changing their names.

At that time you really protected William & I from his inappropriateness dear Abner and again I thank you. 

But as I told you that at that time I would leave it to you to talk to Fr Frank about what I found on the Chicago website as he did slip and to my husband & I called himself by his rightful name and ordered me to never genuflect when I received the Eucharist again in the future.

He said:  "You are no longer a slave but a friend and friends don't genuflect to friends...They SHAKE HANDS!"  He exclaimed.

He added that "I am a psychiatrist and if I were still practicing I you would be my patient"  

I then on Facebook publicly asked Fr Charles Okeke of Atlanta area is there any such thing as showing too much reverence to our Lord in the Eucharist?  Fr Okeke said an absolute "No."  and many priests connected to him that week agreed and echoed the same.

I then wrote about this priest and posted to "STOP Holy Communion in the Hand" and other Catholic groups where the world could see and I received support, encouragement & prayers from Catholics around the world.

Well here is the next chapter in the "Belinsky/Baranowski charade.   For a priest who does not believe that demons are real....is contrary.

It is impossible to believe in God and declare that the devil and his legions of demons or fallen angels exist not.

On First Friday William asked him to bless our new box of salt purchased at grocery.  I told William we would be better to ask you our friend Abner, now Deacon Abner.

William says:  "Why not the priest...he is a priest?" 

Well Msgr Baranowski/Belinsky asks my husband:  "What for?"  William said:  To keep the "Demons away."

Afterwards William asked me "Why did he not know about salt & demons???"   I did not want to upset my darling whose body has been challenged by returned  tumor...  So I only said: "I agree it is strange.

I did not elaborate explaining that he was the same priest who inappropriately anointed me showing desire when he laid his hands on me...and what I wrote above.

Nor did I say William dear, we know his past as written on the Chicago Diocese website.

This impostor for the Lord in my opinion...but God protects the Faithful laity from his sins when he consecrates so I will not ever not receive Our Lord in the Eucharist when he is the Celebrant of the Holy Mass made the sign of the cross over my husband's salt box with a smirk and an eye roll...then flew fast out of Saint Anselm.

Well on Thursday June 20, 2013 when I genuflected to receive our dear Lord, Msgr Baranowski showed his anger...as I went down & came back up he flung his hand back as he held our Lord...he would call "It a host"  not "HIM or the LORD"  I am sure he has absolutely no passion for the Lord and ridicules everyone who is filled with passion for God.

And so, to finish describing what he did...  with my Lord clinched firmly between his thumb and his first finger of his right hand he with a frustrated angry exasperated grimace on his face swung back the hand holding HIM almost as if he was going to throw HIM behind him and abandon the Mass.

But we all know he did not do that...but as he angrily turned his head all around with face grimaces that my husband behind me & certainly many maybe not all in line behind us and in the other Communion line that you were distributing Holy Communion to Abner could see.

I also believe folks who love us who had returned to their pews already saw this too but they said their good byes very quickly afraid to get into conversation.

Although they do not know me well...for this sort of thing I put in writing before discussing so as to get correct.

And then to verify what I already knew Abner IO asked if he was the same priest who anointed me in front of you on my birthday last year.  Yes was the answer.

He has gained much weight gradually over the last year since our first time meting him on August 20, 2012.

And as I promised Abner, I never reported the behavior of this priest until after your Ordination knowing that even though you have no accountability for his or any other individuals behavior, that I would postpone reporting his strange behavior.  But today I am sending this to the Vatican along with letters I wrote about it just after it happened.

Such an inappropriate person, one who thinks blessing salt is silly...should not be consecrating Holy Masses nor performing any priestly duties at all and under Pope Benedict such a report may not have produced any results.

But I have read Pope Francis' response to the idiotic practice of American Bishops shuffling around accused priests.

And the two hidden emails are my code addresses to post to two blogs at once.

Abner, Kenneth, if I fail to do this I truly cannot ever receive Holy Communion again in my life.

It is this which God created me for...as I told you Abner...from my tiniest childhood I told you though I knew not my name until 5th grade...though I begged my God buddies Father Son and Holy Spirit who appeared to me for children wanted nothing to do with me...  I begged them to take me with them for no one wanted me...I was hated and despised....  I was always told:   I NEED YOU...or WE NEED YOU....when all 3 appeared and played pancake parties with me upon my knees for no one else would eat with me...

I NEED YOU WHEN THE END OF THE WORLD COMES.

And so Abner I am sorry for any bumps this report may cause for you...but remember his behavior was not your fault and is not your responsibility.

I found a holy priest in New Orleans who was here in States just for a few more days for sake of missions from Africa to whom I made a confession.   He directed me:  "Relieve yourself from this false guilt and continue to write such letters...to write this specific letter.

And I cannot recall for sure but I think it was Fr Cayet at St Joseph who I heard preach on false guilt & legitimate guilt, or maybe it was the mission priest to St Joseph just before Christmas...but I had been praying about this all of this time.

And I have received my answer.

God Bless your hearts and protect you always!

Sincerely,

Stephanie & William

When Travelling Yesterday, we visited A Eucharistic Adoration Chapel where the Routine is that they never light Red Tabernacle light nor any candle...GREIVES US & MANY!

June 22, 2013

How can the very young learn to reverence Almighty God or new Christians particularly new Catholics be made strong when not even all Catholic Priests properly reverence the Lord in HIS Holy Tabernacle whom they have been given the gift to consecrate???

There are ironies of life that cannot be changed by human kind... but these that should never be...

But rather are by choice of a few whose conduct of choices are not pure nor represent the teachings and foundation of Holy Mother Catholic Church which Jesus Himself planted & built upon the Rock of Saint Peter, the first Pope predecessor of Pope Francis of today whom most all in our world today respect, admire and love.

 The dangers of such priests and church leaders whether ordained or laity leaders or ministers who do not live purely whether by lewd conduct or dress, or pure arrogant or defiant behaviors... such as refusal to light Red Tabernacle Candles that are to burn always except for on Good Friday the day Jesus though pure as HE was, was put to death as a criminal on the Holy Cross that all of us would live pure lives and dress modestly not revealing ones curvatures to wrongly stimulate or create sexual desires within the flesh of the opposite sex...

The dangers of our leaders living such a relaxed laid back...I don't care...attitude through life is that the sheep will go where the shepherd goes and do what he does...not what he might say....even if his words are pure and not false doctrine.

It is time for all Christians particularly Catholics to rise up and fear not but open thy mouth and demand that your priests and deacons of your Catholic Parishes follow all Liturgical, Dogmatic requirements that not even one be confused and think:  Well it must not REALLY be all that important if Fr Collum...or if Fr Cayet or Father whoever does not bother to...

If you are among the Catholics who like my own husband when he converted from the Lutheran Church to the Catholic Church for the sake of children and was not properly indoctrinated  what our Holy Mother Catholic Church teaches...or even if you are among the few who have received a  solid foundation teaching of the old Baltimore Catechism....

All of you, everyone will benefit purchasing your own personal copy of  The Catholic Catechism from your local Catholic Bookstore or from www.EWTNReligousCatalogue.com/HOME+Page?BOOKS/Catechism 

Then when you hear false teaching by anyone representing Holy Mother Church whether a priest, deacon, religious brother or sister or just a flake they hired to teach what they refused to teach because they are too lazy to work and teach it right....

They would rather have a very large church budget and pay high salaries for lay teachers to teach false doctrine or to dress in tightly fitting  swanky sweaters or denim blue jeans...made famous fortune by Levi's named for a Holy Priesthood... that is holy no more after watching too many vulgarly dressed females distributing Holy Communion and reading readings for Holy Mass...

But just because they live this way...You are not to!

Look beyond not only the Bread you eat in Holy Communion and see your Savior and Lord...

Look beyond the fakey flakes and even beyond a defiant unholy priest who you sadly have at the yoke of your Catholic Parish...

You and each one are called to be great Saints...do not miss the opportunity as Mother Angelica says on her program intro.

And as Father Harold Cohen SJ of New Orleans taught all when the Catholic Catechism was first re-published by Pope John Paul11....

Read your Catechism and learn it, and when you hear anyone representing Holy Mother Church teaching falsehoods of any kind...

Politely and respectively say:  "Dear Father______"   or Dear Sister________ please turn to in our Catholic Catechism to Page____ Paragraph______  and see that in actuality our Church teaches_______"

And when you do these things you will be Esthers & Jacobs too and be not afraid to open your mouth in this way.

But rather be afraid of what will happen to you if you open not your mouth and are silent.

Silence brings complacency and no community will live or thrive complacent in a state of sin.

No community can grow if complacent and stagnant at all even if their position is not sinful but just indifferent or uncaring...their indifference will eventually cause them to be chaff in the wind...to be swept into the fire along with all the other lazy ones who care not love....not today...maybe next week Lord...today I am....

Well, none of us are promised tomorrow...not even our next minute our hour,

However if you are like my William & me and your heart is always kneeling to HIM...and you are always embracing what befalls you with FAITH and obedience...dropping whatever you were doing and in an instant allowing God to place your steps in another direction always paying homage to HIM with genuflection..immediately obediently doing whatever direction HE gives your personal heart...

As I am now posting all this on the World Wide Web for you to read and be inspired and compelled to go out encouraging others to do the same...Echoing praise, honor and glory to HIS Holy Name....laying your praying hands on the sick that through your prayers HE will heal them...through your voice crying out loud "Make the way of the Lord into your hearts"

Your voice crying out into your neighborhoods:  Turn from your homosexual lifestyle that offends and defies natural life...

Your voice will make the difference where you are for God... Open your mouth now for HIM and see how...

Subject: When Travelling Yesterday, we visited A Eucharistic Adoration Chapel where the Routine is that they never light Red Tabernacle light nor any candle...GREIVES US & MANY!
To: Vatican <cdf@cfaith.va>


William & I went to Bogalusa yesterday to visit someone we know & to find out about VA clinics and Charity clinics opening there.

And planning our visit the day before I had checked online & knew that Annunciation Catholic has Eucharistic Adoration on Thursdays.

We were there for about two hours 1/2 hours.  We saw regular adorers relieve each other and the woman there when we arrived told me that there are many in the community upset by this regular routine practice of not lighting candles.

I thought from the Saint Statue that Redemptorists may be here, but I read the history of the church & learned Sisters of St Teresa  and others.  

I noticed in the written history they have on their website www.accbogalusa.org/historypart4.pdf   that they mention: "The many parishioners who prayed and toiled to______ and tear down old buildings to rebuild.

They did not say what and why they tore down the old, but I can imagine something like the history of ST Joseph of Kannapolis North Carolina  where it is the standard operating procedure to not light candles for Mass sometimes.  And there is was Father Alvaro's standard procedure to not have a list that people signed to commit to a particular hour every Friday.

The year my husband & I lived walking distance from there Feb 14, 2011- Feb 29, 2012, William used to drop me and I remained the entire day into the night to make certain HE WAS NEVER LEFT ALONE WHILE WE WERE IN NORTH CAROLINA.

St Joseph of Kannapolis had burned down & was flooded many times...Certainly because THEY PAY HIM ONLY LIP SERVICE & LEFT HIM ALONE!

So I can imagine that since God always protects HIS OWN...churches that are damaged by fires & floods to the point they must be torn down....

Their lack of reverence & respect of HIM IN HIS Sanctuary has gone on for a very very long time.

Those Catholics disturbed by it I am sure must not know how to do anything about it.

But I trust that you Pope Francis will make certain your Cardinals & Archbishop Gregory Aymond take care of this.

We All Better Start Baring Each Other's Burdens With Love and Laying One's Own Life Down For.....Or...

As long as many men are glorifying their own bodies....whether building, bulking up their muscles with weights to compete...

Say for Mr. America contests...

Or simply to be the biggest man in town...

And women wearing tight vulgar clothes that actually reveal more of their exact curvatures than if they exposed their naked skin...

Our youngest sons through no fault of their own...but yours will become SEX driven and needy long before they would have even had interest in taking a girl on their first date!

And we would not have teenagers or their mothers killing teenagers over sexual desires...as sadly happened this year in Ponchatoula earlier this year!

A Warning To Everyone For When You Open New Online Accounts....Humorous Consequences That Can Make For More Dangerous Circumstances If Not Caught or Corrected...

Anyone who has known my husband William and I for any length of time know that for my first 49 years of iife that I had physical tunnel vision for real!!   Yes REALLY!

 

That I only saw a small portion of any one's faces at a time, and that I was raised as a sighted child because my parents would not acknowledge my challenges for they were ashamed of "who or what I was."

 

And that on the Feast of the Holy Family 2009 I received a Eucharistic MIRACLE in my eyes and have enjoyed given thanks & praise for nearly three and a half years of landscapes and full length drapes!

 

So I have done some amazing things for someone who literally at times could not see what was under her ow nose!

 

I graduated from Grace King High School without ever having read much with understanding.

To satisfy my mother I sat on my bed for hours just every once in a while turning a page....

But since what was printed in those books made no sense to me and I could not see...

 

That time was not wasted... for in my heart I was not in a chair at a desk nor was I lounged on my bed reading...

I was conversing with my Lord my God and your God...

I would ask HIM to fill my heart and mind with whatever I needed to know...to stay safe at home, school or on the school bus...

Walking down hills or through my neighborhood.

 

A friend who I had not been in touch with for quite some time sent me an invite to open a "  LinkedIN " account.

Happy to hear from her I did just that thinking I could take my time that there would be no hurry to build a resume for myself and at a future date possibly this could help me grow a licensed business with  income doing what I enjoy the most...free-motion embroidery, crochet and writing.

 

But what happened was as I opened this "Linked IN " account, I was interrupted.

And as always, I embraced my interruption... as you do too... 

Took care of whatever it was my husband need that time....

 

I do my share of asking him questions that too for him are not at the best timing...

It happens in all marriages in all kinds of friendships...

 

There is no fault placing here...  No anger or frustration but rather jovial laughter and entertainment...

Life is much easier when one can laugh at and with themselves...

But what happened since I did not stay with the program as I first began opening this Linked IN account was it automatically sent invitations to everyone who I ever wrote an email to from the first date I opened this email address.   And not only to these who I possibly only wrote once ever, some were business inquires that I never thought about again in over 5 years.

 

Other auto invitations went to folks who I never wrote but their email address was attached to one of those cutesy poems with pictures many just keep forwarding and forwarding over and over...certainly none of these I ever thought would one day show up as "CONNECTIONS"

 

And since I at times post to my blogs not signed into blogger but from my email as I am doing now...

Linked IN posted connection requests to my blogs for about a 5th time last night.

 

So instead of going into Blogger and removing those comical posts  "MrsStephanie............invites you to CONNECT"  from my blogs...

I am leaving Linked IN right there...

Instead I will post this on all of them...

 

And make a game of it...

 

But it could have serious consequence when an unsent invite is accepted by someone who is worse than unpleasant.

 

I HAVE CUT OF several CONNECTIONS....some without any explanation.

 

Check your email contact list for many email systems save all information as your potential contacts even though you do not routinely write email to them nor they to you.

And you can possibly also have your account hacked into through these odd seemingly insignificant addresses that seem not worth even giving time to DELETE!

 

But do it!  DELETE DELETE!

And when you open new accounts do not let systems access your contact lists, manually type the ones you want to communicate with the new account and you will have fewer headaches of             SPAM JAMS...

 

And you will not have to check your new account more often than you would have liked to to make certain you have no spying new connections...that maybe unsafe for you...

As happened to me!

 

But the Lord will always keep us free indeed with out needs HE cannot nor will not meet...

And when the devil does raise his head....

 

Whether a cyber spyer...a marriage divider...or simply folks who some how did not learn or remember from Kindergarten how to introduce themselves and ask others their names....

I guess till Jesus comes back there will be those who try to force themselves upon others instead..

 

When anyone is rude, crude, or  speaks with forked tongue...

Remember our Lord said to cut off the hand that causes us to sin...

 

Don't you wish that it was as easy to get rid of all of these....as pushing or clicking a DELETE BUTTON!

Do You Remember When In A Catholic Church One Could Hear A Cotton Ball Fall To The Floor?

It was pre-Vatican 11 when I was in Catholic Kindergarten & First Grade at St Mathias Catholic School on North Broad in New Orleans.

Little girls were not allowed to step even close to...certainly not onto or over the Church threshold of doorway without a veil upon her head.

And the Dominican Nuns would wack us behind our knees with a yard stick if we did not properly genuflect when & where they said we should.

And the priests about to go out of St Josephs of Ponchatoula who will be replaced by Diocesan FR Paul McDuffie on July 7, 2013 are of the same....Dominicans!

Folks including the Dominican Nuns & other educational teachers just like everyone else spoke with a New Orleans accent sounding more like: "NU Owlwwwwwwwwwwwwwwlinz" in that part.

And though I did not even learn my name until 5th Grade...see:   www.OhLetMeLiveLetMeLIveLetMeBeBorn.blogspot.com

Although in 1965-66 nor in 1966-67  I did not understand what the word Catholic was are meant...  all girls & boys knew we were "CAT-LICKS" because the nuns said so!

And girls and boys would not even dare bring chewing gum to school and what child would dare talk in line along the way....

Certainly not once in the church sanctuary!

One thing I can say I have heard my entire life from both protestants or self professed atheists...

For my experience has always been every that atheist like the devil Satan himself knows God exists...

Saying God does not exist in their own minds gives them the freedom of responsibility of living by the 10 Commandments and some even think licenses them to abuse others infringing upon their basic inalienable human rights.

And so I have heard folks who have large laundry lists against even the truly devout Catholics...not just the fakey flakey "Imitation Flavored" ones say:

" One thing I can say for the Catholics is you really know when you are in a Catholic Church!" 

This referred to the once was reverence in all Catholic Churches.

If these same people entered a Catholic Church today they would find disrespect for HIS Holy Sanctuary often even by the Ordained Priests and Deacons....some like St Joseph of Ponchatoula's Deacon Doctor MJ "Dutch" Schanzbach routinely speaks with profanity and on the eve of St Patrick's Day...Saturday Vigil Holy Mass at 5PM spoke profanity as part of his homily somehow expecting enthusiastic laughter but thank God did not receive the up roar of laughter he hoped for...only a sparse number laughed...though shockingly he did not shorten his homily after his brash choice of words...he actually seemed to lengthen it as if he was justifying himself!

This particular Saturday evening Holy Mass the Knights of Columbus had their Quarterly Communion so most of them were in their ceremonial dress costumes including hats with feather flumes & swords in sheaths...

Which though we know is handed down by tradition from long ago..
Jesus said:  "Put away the sword for thode who live by the sword shall die by the sword."

This is also the regular Holy Mass that the local Family Court Judge Katherine Yeargain assists at along with her Knight of Columbus husband John Yeargain.

Wonder what she thought of the Deacon Doctor's foul mouth jokes...I know she was not laughing!

We all know that the only salvation or justification anyone can receive is through the cross, blood and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Many to most folks cackle in HIS Holy Sanctuary no different than if they were in the neighborhood Pub Bar...or their own living room.

Very Sadly they do this even immediately following Holy Mass which means mere minutes after receiving our Lord's Body they have forgotten Who it is they just received!

They actually steal from themselves and others the very best part...the short period when our Lord is the absolute closest to us...the moment when HE is the readiest to heal our bodies of all malformities, diseases, and solve the greatest complications of our lives.

Let us pray that our new Pope Francis together with our Lord Himself will bring back the reverence lost in just a few decades.

Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

As I keep saying:  Many push away from themselves their heart's greatest desires without recognizing HIM in the breaking of bread with others..

 

They ask with their hands clinched in fists to fight and press off opportunities to give and thus with their hands and hearts closed in either hostility or self-justified self righteousness....

 

With same action cut themselves off from friendship and God's blessings..their greatest heat's desire!

facebook FrCharles Okeke FrCharles Okeke updated his status: "Lauds (Almost all fled the Adoration/Benediction) At the Adoration/Benediction that followed the the Vigil Mass of the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God (New Year Eve), Matthew 26: 40 kept coming to mind: "When he (Jesus) returned to his disciples he found them asleep. He said to Peter, "So you could not keep watch with me for one hour?" At the Exposition of the Holy Eucharist, almost the entire congregation literally ran for the exit as if fleeing from the Lord. Of over 300 people that attended the vigil mass, just about fifteen remained for the Benediction. So sad. But despite such glitch, the Church is set to bloom in the years to come and is bound to be victorious in the end. May the Lord bless and keep us; may the Lord let His face shine upon us and be gracious to us; may the Lord look kindly upon us and give us peace in the year to come. Here's wishing all my facebook friends a blessed New Year." You are receiving this email because you've listed FrCharles Okeke as a close friend. Change Close Friend Notifications.
