Simple things to remember:<br /><br />"And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it". <br /><br />"Be strong in your Faith".<br /><br />Remember,"where sin abounded,grace abounded MORE".<br /><br />"I am with you always, until the end of time".Marianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-33135653292127152532010-03-29T21:09:15.302-05:002010-03-29T21:09:15.302-05:00Your post made me cry.

Not sure if it was a good book or not but I am curious to re-read it now that I'm both MUCH older and will prob. understand it! lol...and having read Fr. Ciszek's books, well...I"m quite curious. But won't happen for at least a couple months.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-42162510127068901442010-03-29T19:36:33.290-05:002010-03-29T19:36:33.290-05:00I've heard of "The Jesuit", but have...I've heard of "The Jesuit", but haven't read it. I think it took place in Russia in the 1930's.<br />I actually thought Thorn Birds was well-written, too bad it was about a priest breaking his vows.Melody Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442985285647041700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-85858105780306666102010-03-29T19:02:27.910-05:002010-03-29T19:02:27.910-05:00Melody ~ I think last year it was the stunning rev...Melody ~ I think last year it was the stunning revelation that was supposed to shake the Christian faith...Jesus was... *gasp*!.... JEWISH! Oh, the horror!<br /><br />*rolling eyes*<br /><br />I do remember the Thorn Birds, hearing about it, don't remember much else. I think my Mom had teh book on a book shelf, don't know if she ever read it. I know I picked it up now and again but just reading the jacket cover I yawned and walked away. <br /><br />You know...I did read a book called "The Jesuit" and I think it was a sort of spy novel, but now I can't find anything about it. I don't think I have it anymore. IT was my Mom's and I think I "inherited" it with a bunch of other books she was getting rid of, but I suspect I tossed it years ago. By any chance you ever heard of it?Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-74960152176505031592010-03-29T18:41:51.424-05:002010-03-29T18:41:51.424-05:00Very well said.
And you're right that it's...Very well said.<br />And you're right that it's always something. Many times it has been an inappropriate movie or miniseries that just happens to make its debut during Holy Week (you're probably too young to remember Thorn Birds). Then there was the ossuary a few years ago that was supposedly of St. James, and even had inscribed on it "brother of Jesus" (whatever that proved). Just happened to surface during Holy Week. But this latest business is by far the ugliest, in recent memory anyway.<br />I like your thought that Christ does not sleep among us. I also think of Psalm 46, "God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress."Melody Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442985285647041700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-56090085026828030832010-03-29T17:39:58.061-05:002010-03-29T17:39:58.061-05:00Excellent and uplifting, thank-you.

I've always been deeply.. fond, if that's the right word, of the Byzantine tradition of giving the Sacrament of Extreme Unction to all of the faithful (because, in the East, it is not limited to the physically sick) during Holy Week, and most significantly at the Service of the Bridegroom on Holy Wednesday. <br /><br />We are healed and strengthened because we <i>are</i> sick. We're dying, all of us preparing to be crucified and buried with Christ, in a very real way, this week - just as we prepare to rise again at Easter. It's not meant to be easy.Mandrivnykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12114386237830968319noreply@blogger.com
