a recent prophecy unheard

For the last several months,
the whites have let known what is now the road they are going down.
We can't tell the whites what road to go down.
We know it will be the whites who make the decisions.
It is very obvious that the whites including white Indians,
are convinced going down the wrong road is their salvation.
We must now commence Survival Mode.
China must increase their military strength in and near non white nations
 including the Ark or Bow,
China is in now, to prepare non white nations for survival.
China will bring non white nations to the future.
It is crucial that China prepare them
for the event mentioned in the Seven Fires Prophecy and Revelation.
We must take the warnings seriously.
You must now prepare them for survival.

as the dust settled

Well, what happened there is, of course—now all of you must adjust your brains—the biggest work of art there has ever been. The fact that spirits achieve with one act something which we in music could never dream of, that people practice ten years madly, fanatically for a concert. And then die. [Hesitantly.] And that is the greatest work of art that exists for the whole Cosmos. Just imagine what happened there. There are people who are so concentrated on this single performance, and then five thousand people are driven to Resurrection. In one moment. I couldn't do that. Compared to that, we are nothing, as composers. [...] It is a crime, you know of course, because the people did not agree to it. They did not come to the "concert". That is obvious. And nobody had told them: "You could be killed in the process."

witness of Fr Raymond Nogar OP

I am a Roman Catholic
and I believe in the community of saints,
 both in heaven and on earth.
 I believe that the happy spirits in heaven
can and sometimes do assist by their intercessory power, 
the spirits in this vale of tears.
 I have heard that 
St. Christopher is good on the highways, 
that St. Jude is terrific with impossible cases, 
and that St. Anthony is the one you turn to
when lost articles fail to show up.

But I will tell you something. 
I do not think that St. Anthony finds things for you, 
like lost golf balls for instance. 
You know who finds lost golf balls?  
Impoverished golfers
who haven't the cash to buy new ones every day,
 and caddies on their days off, 
so that they can wash them up and sell them.
 Why do they find them,  when others don't ? 
I'll tell you why.
 Because they look and look and  look
until  they look in the right place
where the ball was all the time.



Well,  then,  where does St. Anthony come in? 
All I can see is that
somehow through an appeal of the spirit,
 like the encouragement of a gesture from a lover,  
there is motive generated,
 a motive which urges a man to look and look and look
 until he looks in the right place, 
where the ball was all the time.

Now to say that the saints are thereby unnecessary, 
that St. Anthony is just superstitious baggage
 in the business of human affairs, 
is to make the claim
that the gesture of the lover is irrelevant.

what has become of courtly love

written in 1174 AD---------




No woman is attached to her lover or bound to her husband with such pure devotion that she will not accept another lover, especially if a rich one comes along, which shows the wantonness as well as the great avarice of a woman. There isn’t a woman in this world so constant and so bound by pledges that, if a lover of pleasures comes along and with skill and persistence invites her to the joys of love, she will reject his entreaties – at any rate if he does a good deal of urging. No woman is an exception to this rule either. So you can see what we ought to think of a woman who is in fortunate circumstances and is blessed with an honourable lover or the finest of husbands, and yet lusts after some other man. But that is precisely what women do who are too much troubled with wantonness.

the avenues to woman wisdom

1. By reproducing in the first place you will harm your future child’s health as you will create a being whose body is vulnerable to harms and will steadily degenerate until death. If you want to actually prevent your future child from being harmed, refrain from reproduce.
Otherwise, any actions you undertake before and after pregnancy will be meaningless as you are not a god who can prevent bad things from happening to your child.
No, you will NOT guarantee a less painful/horrifying life and dying process for your child just because of your health knowledge. That is a fact. If you want to parent, helping children who are already here is a noble and unselfish act. If you already have biological children, you can continue loving them while refraining from further reproduction.




2. Because of the high risks of pregnancy, STDs, vaginal infections, and cervical cancer, I highly recommend against penile-vaginal sex at all. Yes, most men are taught that this is the only “right sex,” but it isn’t. If your spouse takes issue with you refraining from penile-vaginal sex, HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH. I repeat, HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH. He should value your health over his “need” to have penile-vaginal sex. If you can, please leave that relationship. You are better off alone or in a relationship that doesn’t require penile-vaginal sex. For more information, research radical feminism.


Also, please keep in mind that in some cultures, penile-vaginal sex is only done when they want to conceive, not on a constant basis where birth control is needed. If penile-vaginal sex makes you uncomfortable sometimes, it could have something to do with you doing it too much or that you shouldn’t do it at all.

///from a voice-recognition translation

a dominican metaphysical stand-off with a jesuit

“Father Teilhard’s vision [of order and beauty in the cosmos] seems to have all the qualities of the old myth of the eternal return, in which history is really incidental and novelty is, at bottom, only apparent. In his cosmic order, even Christ the Lord of history finds His “place” at the center, and the contradiction of the Cross is quite logical and expected. In that world, there is no terror, no trickery, no trouble…. The God of the strange world of Father Teilhard is not the one I have come to believe in. His is the God of the neat; mine is the God of the messy. His God governs with unerring efficiency; mine provides with inexcusable waste. His God is impeccably regular; mine is irresponsible. His God is the Lord of order; my God is the Lord of the Absurd.”

Kateri said:




"I am not my own;
I have given myself to Jesus.
He must be my only love.
The state of helpless poverty
that may befall me
 if I do not marry
does not frighten me.
All I need is a little food
and a few pieces of clothing.
With the work of my hands
I shall always earn what is necessary
 and what is left over
I'll give to my relatives
and to the poor.
 If I should become sick
and unable to work,
 then I shall be like the Lord on the cross.
He will have mercy on me and help me,
 I am sure."










.....

so we know there is still perfectly rational thinking happening in america

The American idle fancy that poverty is their idol, and that if they can fix it with government funds, then they will become the idol of all the idle, and garner their votes. They aren't far wrong.  The exact opposite is the case, however, about what Jesus is saying. Jesus is saying that the poor can go to Hell.  He doesn't want their votes. He just wants his disciples to love him entirely, which Mary Magdalene or whoever she is, has now shown that she has done.

What the Romans are about to do to his feet has nothing to do with acupuncture, and Jesus needs a touch of TLC, like everyone else.

                         A Prayer For Our Earth                                    











All-powerful God,
you are present in the whole universe
and in the smallest of your creatures.
You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.
Pour out upon us the power of your love,
that we may protect life and beauty.

 Fill us with peace, that we may live
as brothers and sisters, harming no one.
O God of the poor,
help us to rescue the abandoned
and forgotten of this earth,
so precious in your eyes.

 Bring healing to our lives,
that we may protect the world
and not prey on it,
that we may sow beauty,
not pollution and destruction.

 Touch the hearts
of those who look only for gain
at the expense of the poor and the earth.
Teach us to discover the worth of each thing,
to be filled with awe and contemplation,
to recognize
that we are profoundly united
with every creature
as we journey towards your infinite light.
We thank you for being with us each day.

 Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle
for justice, love and peace.

THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH

I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant:              To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art -- if they desire to learn it -- without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but to no one else.                  I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.                  I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly, I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.                  I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work.                  Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief, and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves. What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about. If I fulfill this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.

 That I would be cast headlong in a flood
and swept to thither yon by waves and tides
would a more gentle Fate prefer. Love rides
a swifter past than all we whispered good.
Your whims were once but that. But now I see
more jagged ice afloat in this cold hell
than all the northern sailors would, pray tell;
Their arctic ventures distant shores to lee.
Feign not your worry,  Love.  I'll leave now.  Sent
by winds that tear the sails of what I'd hoped
would compensate for dreams had we eloped.
Alas, my heart  bedecked all bruised and bent.
 But nigh the night has come my life now hurled-
  A  plaything  in a mad tempest, twice twirled

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only
because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."

STRANGE INVITATION

TRASH

ONLY

found poems are fun

George Weigel states

For more than thirty years it’s been my privilege to explore the Catholic Church in all its extraordinary variety and diversity. I’ve traveled from inner-city parishes to the corridors of the Vatican; from the barrios of Bogotá to the streets of Dublin; across the United States and throughout Europe, Latin America, Oceania, and the Holy Land. I’ve spoken to Catholics of all states of life and stations in life, from popes and heads of state to cloistered nuns and campus ministers and literally thousands of clergy;  with political activists of all stripes and the wonderful people of the parish in which I’ve lived for almost three decades;   with modern Catholic confessors and martyrs and with men and women who are troubled in their faith.

The experience has been exhilarating, sometimes exasperating, occasionally depressing;   I’ve been immeasurably enriched by all of it, in ways I can never adequately repay. But I’ve tried to make a small down payment on a large debt with the publication of Evangelical Catholicism: Deep Reform in the 21st-Century Church .    In the book, I’ve tried to focus what I’ve learned in more than thirty years of Catholic thinking, writing, and activism through two prisms: a new interpretation of modern Catholic history linked to a fresh proposal for how we should understand the Catholic possibility in the third millennium, and a detailed program of Gospel-centered reform that will equip the Church for its evangelical responsibilities in a time of great challenge.

The challenge can be defined simply:   Throughout the Western world, the culture no longer carries the faith, because the culture has become increasingly hostile to the faith. Catholicism can no longer be absorbed by osmosis from the environment, for the environment has become toxic.  So we can no longer sit back and assume that decent lives lived in conformity with the prevailing cultural norms will somehow convey the faith to our children and grandchildren and invite others to consider entering the Church.

No, in our new situation, Catholicism has to be proposed , and Catholicism has to be lived in radical fidelity to Christ and the Gospel. Recreational Catholicism”Catholicism as a traditional, leisure-time activity absorbing perhaps ninety minutes of one’s time on a weekend”is over.   "Full-time Catholicism”   ...   a Catholicism that, as the Second Vatican Council taught, infuses all of life and calls everyone in the Church to holiness and mission,  is the only possible Catholicism in the twenty-first century.

The Evangelical Catholicism of the future is a Catholicism of radical conversion, deep fidelity, joyful discipleship, and courageous evangelism. Evangelical Catholics put friendship with the Lord Jesus at the center of everything: personal identity, relationships, activity. Evangelical Catholics strive for fidelity despite the wounds of sin, and do so through a daily encounter with the Word of God in the Bible and a regular embrace of Christ through a frequent reception of the sacraments. Evangelical Catholics experience dry seasons and dark nights, like everyone else; but they live through those experiences by finding their meaning in a deeper conformity to the Cross of Christ”on the far side of which is the unmatchable joy of Easter, the experience of which gives the people of the Church the courage to be Catholic. And evangelical Catholics measure the quality of their discipleship by whether, and to what extent, they give to others what they have been given: by the degree to which they deepen others’ friendship with the Lord Jesus Christ, or bring others to meet the unique savior of the world.

Evangelical Catholics enter mission territory every day, leading lives of integrity and charity that invite from others the question, “How can you live this way?” That question, in turn, allows the evangelical Catholic to fulfill the Great Commission by offering others the Gospel and the possibility of friendship with Jesus Christ. Having responded to the Risen Lord’s call to meet him in Galilee, evangelical Catholics go into the world in witness to the Christ who reveals both the face of the Merciful Father and the truth about our humanity.

Strong truths generously lived: that’s Evangelical Catholicism.

The big-bellied hippopotamus

Inhabits the jungles of Java,

Where in the depths of each lair, cuss

More monsters than haunt the dreamer.

 

The boa uncoils and hisses,

The tiger gives out its roars,

The angry buffalo whistles;

He grazes at peace or snores.

 

He fears nor kris nor assegai,

He gazes at man, with no cares at all,

And smiles at the sepoy’s musket-ball,

That merely rebounds from his hide.

 

I’m like the hippopotamus;

Clothed with my convictions’ weight,

Strong armour none can penetrate,

I tread, secure, the wilderness.
