This feast of Mary celebrates a special privilege of Mary, our Mother. The Assumption means that she entered into the glory of heaven not only with her soul, but also with her body. The Son of God took his body from Mary’s pure womb. It was fitting, then, that her body should be glorified as soon as her life here on earth was ended. Now Mary is in heaven. She is queen of heaven and earth. She is the Mother of Jesus’ Church and queen of apostles. Every time Mary asks Jesus to give us graces, he listens to her request. After the resurrection from the dead, we, too, can go to heaven with our bodies. If we use our bodies now to do good, those bodies will share in our heavenly reward. After the resurrection, our bodies will be perfect. They will not be subject to illness anymore. They will not need any more food and drink to keep alive. They will be able to go every place without time or effort. They will be beautiful and splendid! Mary’s Assumption body and soul into heaven is a dogma of faith. This wonderful truth was proclaimed by Pope Pius XII on November 1, 1950. As we celebrate the feast day of Mary, we can entrust ourselves to Mary’s maternal care.

St. Clare of Assisi

Posted on August 11, 2009 - Filed Under Faith

St. Clare was born around 1193 in Assisi, Italy. She lived at the time of St. Francis of Assisi. Clare became the foundress of an order of nuns called the “Poor Clares.” When she was eighteen, she heard St. Francis preach. Her heart burned with a great desire to imitate him. She also wanted to live a poor, humble life for Jesus. So one evening, she ran away from home. In a little chapel outside Assisi, she gave herself to God. St. Francis cut off her hair and offered her a rough brown habit to wear. She stayed with the Benedictine nuns until more nuns would join her. Her parents tried in every way to make her return home, but Clare would not. Soon her fifteen-year-old sister Agnes joined her. Other young women wanted to be brides of Jesus, too. Before long there was a small religious community. St. Clare and her nuns wore no shoes. They never ate meat. They lived in a poor house and kept silent most of the time. Yet they were very happy because they felt that Jesus was close to them. Once an army of rough soldiers came to attack Assisi. They planned to raid the convent first. Although very sick, St. Clare asked to be carried to the wall. She had the Blessed Sacrament placed right where the soldiers could see it. Then she knelt and begged God to save the nuns. “O Lord, protect these sisters whom I cannot protect now,” she prayed. And a voice within her seemed to say: “I will keep them always in my care.” At the same time, a sudden fright struck the attackers. They fled as fast as they could. St. Clare was abbess of her convent for forty years. Twenty-nine of those years she was sick. But she said that she was joyful anyway because she was serving the Lord. Some people worried that the nuns were suffering because they were so poor. “They say that we are too poor, but can a heart which possesses the infinite God be truly poor?” St. Clare died on August 11, 1253. Just two years later she was proclaimed a saint by Pope Alexander IV.

“Go in peace; you have followed the good way; go in confidence, because your Creator has sanctified you, has cared for you constantly, and has loved you with all the tenderness of a mother for her child. O God, blessed be you for having created me.”-St. ClareSociety on dvd

Your Age by Chocolate Math

Posted on July 24, 2009 - Filed Under Life in General

choc-u-latorDon’t tell me your age; you’d probably fib anyway – but the Hershey Man will know!

This is pretty neat.

DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read .Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it’s fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 – I’ll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759. If you haven’t, add 1758.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number.

The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Thirty Years and Counting

Posted on July 11, 2009 - Filed Under Life in General

Today I gathered with several of my fellow SFO’s and we prayed the Divine Office together and asked the founder of monastic orders, St. Benedict, for his intercession in our lives. I’m sure my Oblate friends will be glad to hear this. :-)

Normally we gather at St Bernard’s The Missing the movie

Countdown: Jerusalem Four Rooms full movie but today we drove to the home of one of our sisters in Ryegate and met there. It was a wonderful change of venue and we are already planning to do it again next summer. A fittingly Franciscan interlude briefly interrupted our meeting when a Muley doe came up to the picture window and peered into the window to see what a rag-tag band of followers of the “Fool for God” were up to.

Tonight I will be meeting with my class from high school. It has been 30 years since I have seen many of these folks and I’m sure the pictures of grand babies will be prevalent. Tomorrow we will celebrate Mass at the the high school with Fr. Mike Belinsky a classmate of ours who joined the priesthood shortly after college.

Tonight should be interesting.Love & Sex divx

The Long Weekend

Posted on June 14, 2009 - Filed Under Life in General

Almost glad the weekend is ending. Almost.

After the contractor finished the patio door on Friday I spent the rest of the day running around trying to get all of my errands finished.

Saturday left at 8am for Helena, had a great visitation and returned home by 9pm.

Sunday I mowed our 1/3 of an acre twice to knock the hay field down since I just got my push mower back from the shop. Then we went to the big orange box (definitely not my idea) to purchase flowers and a shrubbery which I shall trim with a herring. Then I ran out to one of my sisters to try and get her Wi-Fi up and running but the Cat5 cable provided by her ISP was bad and I’ll have to go out tomorrow and finish the jorb.

Other than that, not much is going on. You?

This was titled “Funeral Home Services.”

Good Afternoon,

I have a number of potential customers looking for funeral services in your area. I thought you would make a good fit.

Please give me a call at your earliest convenience.

I would make a good fit for their funeral services? I’m feeling a little creeped out just thinking about it.
