What is Dying?


What is dying? Just the same as putting off a garment. For the body is about the soul as a garment, and after laying this aside for a short time by means of death, we shall take it up again with more splendor.
St. John Chrysostom (347-407AD)

It's Never Too Late


Every now and then we see the goodness and love of God made manifest through someone we know and love.
 
As Catholics, we are taught that we must seek eternal happiness in this life, and this life alone, or lose it forever once we have died.
 
And as Catholics, we are also taught that in this life there will be the suffering, or the cross to bear, but if we bear it with patience and in union with God and His Church, again, we have the expectation that we will be in heaven one day after we die.

For the past 11 years, my mom's brother suffered with cancer. I didn't realize how much until the other day when I talked to my aunt on the phone after my uncle passed away.
 
A lot of people might call our suffering our purgatory on earth. Many of the great saints chose to have purgatory on earth and suffered a lot for their fellow mankind out of love for God and all He has done for us.
 
It's safe to say that my uncle, Doug, suffered a lot, but maybe not necessarily for his fellow mankind, but because that's the way it was. Doug didn't know anything about the Catholic Church or what any of these things mean. When my mother was alive, who also died from cancer, she showed Doug some things about the Catholic Church, but how much she told him, we don't know.
 
Last Friday I got a call from my sister that Doug had succumbed to cancer. It wasn't a big surprise given the events of the week. His final months and days were horrible after he was diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus. He lost his voice, and he had to live with a tracheotomy in at all times because his airway was being compromised by the cancer. . 
 
A week ago Monday he began to hemorrhage from some unknown source. The blood and clots were coming up through his throat and it wasn't small amounts, but huge amounts and it continued on and on for the next few days. The doctors couldn't figure out where it was coming from. After 104 radiation treatments, they figured out that it was probably coming from a hole in the esophagus itself, which they plugged. It helped, but it wasn't enough help. They were preparing to do surgery on him, but because of the rapid blood loss, it would have probably ended his life. As it was, his life ended anyway.
 
Before he died, and I don't know how long he had been thinking of becoming Catholic, he asked for a priest. His wife, Dixie, was trying to prepare Doug for his final passage into eternity as best she knew how. But the lingering question on Doug's mind was "yes I'm going to die, I'm not afraid to die, but where will I be after I die?" So, because of my mom's faith and what she had been through when she was ill, a priest was called. He was given the sacraments of the Church for the first and last time, and  soon after all of it, he died in blissful peace.
 
My grandparents had not raised mom and Doug in any kind of religion. If anything, they were given an idea of born again Christianity, but in the long run, it turned off my grandparents. When my mother and father were married, my mom converted to Catholicism because that is how things were done then. But it was still her choice to do so.
 
But Doug didn't have an opportunity like that. At age 18 he enlisted in the navy and made it a career. He married a wonderful woman who was the love of his life and he was hers. After his retirement he worked at Lockheed for another 20 or so years, before retiring, and moving back near where he grew up.
 
When my sister told me that Doug had been baptized and received the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church, I lost it and began sobbing. I couldn't believe that a prayer I had silently prayed just the night before and, actually, throughout his illness, had come true. He died full of grace, something all of us pray for, but something a lot of us will not have. 
Rest in Peace Uncle Doug

He is now in eternal happiness and I believe, with my mother and grandparents and with them as our intercessors, my family should be in good shape. Hopefully they are praying for my three siblings and daughter, now away from the Church, to one day again be reunited and in full communion with the Church. This prayer answered brings me new hope and awareness that God is listening and He will answer it when it is His time. Our job, as Catholic Christians, is to pray for our families - all of them - Catholic and non-Catholic alike, and persevere in prayer our entire life.
 
I am thankful that I was raised Catholic. I was blessed with two wonderful parents, three siblings, a good husband, a daughter I adore and three special grandchildren. I only hope that when my time comes that I will have one last prayer answered before I die. And that is, to receive the last and final sacrament of the Holy Catholic Church for my journey home. I pray that prayer for all of us.

So, the moral of this story is this: it's never ever too late to turn to God or back to God in this life. It is too late in the next. It is in this life we must make our decision that only we can make. To follow God and His laws or not, as taught through His Holy and Immaculate Catholic Church. What will your decision be?

Prayer Against Evil Thoughts


O God be not far from me.
O my God make haste to help me.
Great fears and imaginings of all kinds
have combined to attack my soul.
How can I come through them unharmed?
How can I crush them?



      "I will go before you," says the Lord, "and will humble the great ones of earth.
       I will open the doors of the prison, and will reveal to you hidden secrets."
      O Lord, do as you say and may all my evil imaginings flee from your presence.
      My only hope and comfort is to take refuge with you in all my troubles; to trust you, to call out to you from my inmost heart and patiently wait until you send your comfort.
Amen


Thomas a Kempis, in his magnificent spiritual work,
The Imitation of Christ, offers up many
helpful prayers including this prayer.




DEMONcratic Convention

 
Google Images
I was looking at the word 'democratic' convention earlier today and the word 'demon' just popped out at me. And I thought to myself, you know, this is exactly how I view what the DEMONcrats are doing at their convention. To me it is Lucifer's very own 'reality show' with Planned Parenthood, NARAL, gay/lesbians, supporters of contraception, and all sorts of sins on their agenda that our good and Holy Lord teaches us to not participate in during this life here on earth.

With Cardinal Dolan doing the final prayer next week, maybe he should add a little exorcism to that prayer and pray it at the beginning of the convention instead. Maybe we'll see people like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid dressed up as little demons, stoking the fire under unsuspecting new democrats, to get them in to their little group and help them lose their souls, too, by lying to them about what, first of all, the Catholic Church teaches and that Obama is the best thing to ever happen to them since, um, Hitler.

To think that a group of politicians in this country can go up and stand there and say that they agree that an unborn child should be killed at any stage of pregnancy is appalling to most Christians.

To think that a group of politicians in this country can go up and stand there and say that they agree that gays should be allowed marriage rights, even though God, Himself, calls that lifestyle an abomination, is also appalling to most Christians.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo's
"St. Francis of Assisi at Prayer"
oil on canvas
There is not one thing Christian about that whole convention. Nothing. It's a mockery to God and everything God has done for mankind. It's disgusting and offensive and should be to every living soul in this country and around the world.

So I am calling all Catholics to prayer this election year. And other Christians, too, who value life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The only way our country will change, is by fasting, prayer and sacrifice. Period.

Each speaker at the republican convention ended their speech with "and may God bless the United States of America".  I am adding my amen and prayer that He will give us one last chance, because that's about all we have left. One.

Obama's Christianity


Might as well include this excellent video by Michael Voris on President Obama's so-called Christianity stance. Voris hits the nail on the head when he says that Obama's Christianity is more anti-Christ than Christian.

The Intolerant Preaching Tolerance?


This video is about a priest, Father Gerald O’Reilly, who was praying the rosary outside of Chick-fil-A, (Watertower) in Chicago, Illinois on the 8th of August, 2012 during a gay/lesbian demonstration against the restaurant. The protestors saw what he was doing and demanded he be removed, and he was, by a cop. Those people tell us we are intolerant? Where is their tolerance for what we believe? This is the height of hypocrisy, which is not unusual when it comes to the gays of this country.

Prayer For Courage

Dear God, give me courage, for perhaps I lack it more than anything else.

I need courage before men against their threats and against their seductions.

I need courage to bear unkindness, mockery, and contradiction.

I need courage to fight against the devil, against terrors and troubles, temptations, attractions, darkness and false lights, against tears, depression, and above all fear.

I need Your help, dear God.

Strengthen me with Your love and Your grace.

Console me with Your blessed Presence and grant me the courage to persevere  until I am with You forever in Heaven.

Amen.

Fighting For God

 
Do not entangle yourself in the affairs of this life,
for you are fighting for God.

St. Ambrose of Milan (340-397AD) on Struggle
 
I thought this was a good reminder for today. We are indeed fighting for God because we have come to know and love the Lord and He above all things is worth fighting for. All Catholics need to stand up and fight for God against those who are fighting to kill the unborn, allowing gays to be married as if that is a natural thing to do, and on and on. We can not ever stand up for those things that are evil and that are becoming the norm. We can't stop praying to God to help us in this fight. If we want evil to end, we need to bring down the evil governments that are allowing these things to happen. This government in the United States is horrific in their stance on evil things. Both sides. One side more than the other. We have the power to kick these people out of office and this year, Catholics, you need to do what is right. Abortion is never right. Gay marriage is never and never will be right. Stand up for the God you are professing to love each time you receive Him in the Blessed Sacrament. How can we say we love Him if we are allowing evil to dictate our lives? Think people about what you are doing to your souls. 



St. John Climacus of the Ladder


Do not be surprised that you fall every day;
do not give up, but stand your ground courageously.
And surely the angel who guards you will honor your patience.

From St. John Climacus (of the Ladder) (524-649AD) on Struggle

Obama for Partial Birth Abortion?


According to this video, President Obama is for abortion at any stage of the pregnancy, because after all, it is the mother's responsible decision. Responsible? How can he say a young teenager is responsible if she gets pregnant? And why is it always the baby who suffers, and not the mother or the father?

I am getting so sick of this government treating a pregnancy as if it is nothing. They refuse to concede to the fact that this pregnancy is of a human being, with a beating heart, little hands and feet, a head, and can feel pain, and still they go on killing day after day someone God created for His own purpose.

It frightens me that Catholics go along with abortion as a choice. It frightens me that the Republican party is making a big deal out of what a congressman from Missouri said regarding rape and abortion and won't support him, yet it is the party's own platform that says it will not support abortion even in the matter of rape or incest.

No matter what, God created the child even if it is from a nasty crime such as rape and incest and should not be the one who is punished for what someone else did to that woman. It sickens me to think of the torture that little child endures because of it. And the mother is in serious danger of losing her eternal soul because of it, as is the father and the doctor and the nurse and the parents and anyone who is connected with helping these girls procure abortions. Doesn't anyone believe in hell anymore? Doesn't anyone believe we will suffer eternal consequences for our unrepented actions?

So basically what Obama said in 2003 is the government will not interfere in to the life of a girl who is pregnant and wants an abortion, but now he will interfere in to our lives and force us to have his health care plan that is forcing all kinds of people to go against their consciences, which I will not do.

Catholics, we need to get him out of office and you need to go back to your catechisms and read it again and again and come to understand that abortion is a huge mortal sin and you will suffer in hell for it if you side with it. Same with contraception. Our children need to be taught abstinence and not given the means to have safe sex. They also need to know the consequences of their actions of recreational sex. We're failing our children and dooming them to hell if they die before they understand that there are serious consequences for their actions and we aren't even stopping them.

Why Frequent Confession?


Confession is one of the sacraments of the Holy Catholic Church that is probably the most important of all the sacraments in order to assure ourselves that our sins have been forgiven. And once we receive absolution from God, only then do we know within ourselves that we are able to receive Christ worthily in Holy Communion, as God wants us to do. Receiving frequent communion, then, also wipes away venial sin and helps us to stay away from mortal sin.

There is always a lot of discussion of how often a person should go to confession. It was made known to us that Blessed John Paul II went to confession once a week. At that time I thought to myself, what sins do a pope do? It seemed impossible that the great man Pope John Paul II would have to go to confession once a week. But maybe that is what has made him 'Great'.

After I heard that the Pope did this, I thought that maybe I should try and go once a month. It always seemed like I was bothering the priest in asking him to hear my confession. In the parish I had been in there wasn't a set time. He just made himself available as people needed.
When we moved to another parish in 2004, I was very happy to know that the Church had set times for confession every week. And later, they added another hour for people on two different days of the week, making it almost always possible to go to confession anytime.

It was at this time in my life that I started going every two or three weeks. After I did that, though, I began becoming more aware of my sins and my conscience would eat at me until I would go to confession again.
Now after going once every two months for years, it shocked me that I became so aware of my sins now that I was going more often.

Recently I had a period of spiritual dryness, and for the first time in a long time, it was another two months before I went to confession again, and then it was only after a struggle within myself. But I noticed, this time, that the longer I stayed away, the less aware I became of my sins. It was so bad that I didn't even know for sure what I had done to warrant going to confession. So each week I convinced myself not to go.

Then the 'I wonder if I confessed that' thought came in to my mind. I started having attacks of sorrow over sins I know I've confessed in the past, but not sure if I did it right. This came about after I was reading in a very old missal (1878) that said: "In examining your conscience, remember you have to find out what sins you have committed and how many times you have committed them".

I thought, shoot, I haven't thought about how many times I have committed a sin since I was a pre-vatican II kid. And I didn't even think they still did it until I read somewhere else that we ARE supposed to remember how many times of each sin we did. So I got worried.

Then I read 'You are obliged to confess all your mortal sins, and one mortal sin omitted either wilfully or through a careless examination of your conscience, renders your confession of no avail, and makes you guilty of the sin of sacrilege. Examine your conscience, therefore, with great care; and often during your examination make a little aspiration, "Jesus, give me your grace," or "Mary, my Mother, help me"'.

Continuing on, it said 'if you confess often, every week or month, go through your examination of conscience and always confess, in addition to your present sins, some sin of your past life; one you feel most sorrow for.'

I thought, wow. I had been told not to be so scrupulous in repeating a sin and here this little book is telling us to do it.

Finally, I was reading the book "Dogma of Hell" tonight. It talked about a man who had committed a mortal sin but refused to confess it because it embarrassed him. So he would go to confession for everything but that sin, and
still continued to receive Holy Communion. However his conscience was killing him because not only did he not confess the mortal sin, but he committed grave sacrilege by going to Holy Communion. This went on and on and he decided to become a priest. He thought maybe that would help him confess it, and when he did confess it, he got it so mixed up, it wasn't even right. Well he decided he would wait until the day he was on his death bed to confess it and unfortunately, he died without getting the chance to confess it. He showed up to someone after he died and told the person to stop praying for him because he was in hell and that person's prayers were to no avail. I thought, whoa!

Now tell me, after all I have said, do we still want to hide our mortal sins from the priest? Jesus knows what we have done. And Jesus is there and is speaking through the priest in telling us what to do. We must not ignore confession and forget our pride and confess everything or else we'll end up like that guy in the book I am reading. We shouldn't ever wish that on our worst enemy.

So the answer to the question "Why Frequent Confession?" So we go to heaven and not hell. THAT is the answer. It's all up to us. God gives us the way to become holy, but we must participate in our own salvation walk.

God Gave Us Catholic Priests

Morning Reading from Sirach 45:7, 17
God made him perpetual in his office when he bestowed on him the priesthood of his people; He established him in honor and crowned him with lofty majesty. He gave to him his laws, and authority to prescribe and to judge: To teach the precepts to his people, and the ritual to the descendants of Israel.

From Pope St. Pius X

"It is an error to believe that Christ did not teach a determined body of doctrine applicable to all times and to all men, but rather that He inaugurated a religious movement adapted, or to be adapted, to different times and different places".


Pope Saint Pius X

Saint Pius X understood that a life lived in the truth of the faith takes enduring root only in the community of worship. His vision for the Church included a strong emphasis of liturgical renewal. His work to open the Eucharist more widely to the faithful, especially to children, was one of his enduring gifts to the Church.

Pope Pius X was elected pope in 1903. He took as the motto of his reign 'to renew all things in Christ.' He fulfilled this task in the spirit of simplicity, poverty, and courage, arousing the faithful to a Christian way of life and waging constant warfare against the errors of his age. He died August 20, 1914.

From the August Magnificat Magazine, page 286 and page 288, on the feast day of Saint Pius X

There are a lot of advantages to reading Catholic books published pre-Vatican II to see how and what the Catholic Church taught as far as devotions go. For instance, I read the following tonight at Mass:

"At the beginning of reading of the Gospel, when we're standing, both the priest and the people make the sign of the cross; first upon their foreheads, to signify that they are not ashamed of the cross of Christ and his doctrine; secondly, upon their mouths, to signify that they will ever profess it in their words, and thirdly upon their breasts, to signify that they will always keep it in their hearts."

This is from an 1878 manual of spiritual exercises. I always thought that this was a new thing in our Church - new as in after Vatican II.

Psalm 24

The earth is the Lord's and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false.

He will receive blessings from the Lord and vindication from God his Savior. Such is the generation fo those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob.

Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up; you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord might in battle, Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty - He is the King of glory.

Persevere in Prayer

From St. Louis Grignion de Montfort (1673-1716AD)

Scripture meditation: Be persevering in prayer; be watchful and thankful. At the same time, pray for us also. Colossians 4:2-3

Reflection: Rising or going to bed, leaving or returning, away or at home, I have the "Hail Mary" always on my lips. I am insuperable when I say it. To become perfect, say a rosary a day.

Virtues & Vices of Men In Power

The Great Evil of Pride

Ecclesiasticus Chapter 10 (DR)

[1] A wise judge shall judge his people, and the government of a prudent man shall be steady. [2] As the judge of the people is himself, so also are his ministers: and what manner of man the ruler of a city is, such also are they that dwell therein. [3] An unwise king shall be the ruin of his people: and cities shall be inhabited through the prudence of the rulers. [4] The power of the earth is in the hand of God, and in his time he will raise up a profitable ruler over it. [5] The prosperity of man is in the hand of God, and upon the person of the scribe he shall lay his honour.
 
[6] Remember not any injury done thee by thy neighbour, and do thou nothing by deeds of injury. [7] Pride is hateful before God and men: and all iniquity of nations is execrable. [8] A kingdom is translated from one people to another, because of injustices, and wrongs, and injuries, and divers deceits. [9] But nothing is more wicked than the covetous man. Why is earth and ashes proud? [10] There is not a more wicked thing than to love money: for such a one setteth even his own soul to sale: because while he liveth he hath cast away his bowels.
 
[11] All power is of short life. A long sickness is troublesome to the physician. [12] The physician cutteth off a short sickness: so also a king is today, and tomorrow he shall die. [13] For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms. [14] The beginning of the pride of man, is to fall off from God: [15] Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end.
 
[16] Therefore hath the Lord disgraced the assemblies of the wicked, and hath utterly destroyed them. [17] God hath overturned the thrones of proud princes, and hath set up the meek in their stead. [18] God hath made the roots of proud nations to wither, and hath planted the humble of these nations. [19] The Lord hath overthrown the lands of the Gentiles, and hath destroyed them even to the foundation. [20] He hath made some of them to wither away, and hath destroyed them, and hath made the memory of them to cease from the earth.
 
[21] God hath abolished the memory of the proud, and hath preserved the memory of them that are humble in mind. [22] Pride was not made for men: nor wrath for the race of women. [23] That seed of men shall be honoured, which feareth God: but that seed shall be dishonoured, which transgresseth the commandments of the Lord. [24] In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes. [25] The fear of God is the glory of the rich, and of the honourable, and of the poor:
 
[26] Despise not a just man that is poor, and do not magnify a sinful man that is rich. [27] The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God. [28] They that are free shall serve a servant that is wise: and a man that is prudent and well instructed will not murmur when he is reproved; and he that is ignorant, shall not be honoured. [29] Extol not thyself in doing thy work, and linger not in the time of distress: [30] Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread.
 
[31] My son, keep thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to its desert. [32] Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own soul? [33] The poor man is glorified by his discipline and fear: and there is a man that is honoured for his wealth. [34] But he that is glorified in poverty, how much more in wealth? and he that is glorified in wealth, let him fear poverty.

Catholics Need To Wake Up

The wait is over. We finally know who the running mate is going to be for Mitt Romney. And I think this could be a very good thing for Catholics and our country.

But first, the Catholics of this country have got to make a decision - are you or are you not going to follow Church teaching on abortion, birth control and gay marriage? If not, then the country is doomed, because Romney can't win without the help of faithful Catholics who will stand up for God.

What is a faithful Catholic? Is it someone who goes to mass every weekend just because they have to or do we go because we love it? And if we love it, are we willing to follow all of the Church's teachings or are we going to remain unwaivered over what God is commanding of us?

See, to support abortion or gay marriage goes against Scripture and is a sin. Everyone old enough to read knows what "Thou Shalt Not Kill" means. But does everyone know that God calls the homosexual act an abomination? You would if you read scripture. If not, then maybe it's time to start.

Paul Ryan has been labeled a devout Catholic. With him and Romney in office, we will be assured that our religious freedom is not taken away from us, because if Obama wins again, that is exactly what is going to happen along with a bunch more in our bill of rights. The final stamp will be put on the 'no religious freedom' portion of the first amendment and it'll go on from there because now there will be no reason for Obama to hold back on his 'executive' authority.

We also need our Bishops and Priests to fall back in line with Church doctrine and stand UP for it. I would think by now the clergy who are in the upper end of the heirarchy of the Catholic Church would be the first ones to cry foul when this country makes what is evil, good, and keep fighting for it, no matter the cost. We need our bishops to tell the priests to defend and preach the teachings of the Church at Mass. And this is not being done every where. Why?

Well, I think one reason is because people don't want to be reminded of sin. Well why not? Do we or do we not want to go to heaven? And what is the first thing we learn in our Catechism/CCD classes? We learn that we need to receiving sanctifying grace to go to heaven and to keep our souls free from sin. This means receiving Holy Communion. But, we must receive Holy Communion in a worthy manner and that means, people, going to confession often. 50 years ago people knew that if they had mortal sin on their soul, they could not receive communion and people would sit in the pew and not receive. They would rather sit in the pew than have their sin forgiven. Boggles my mind. We don't see that anymore and you can't tell me that there is not one person at Mass who doesn't have some sort of mortal sin on their soul. I mean, if that is true, then we'll all be in heaven? But we KNOW that is not true. Yet people still refuse to go to confession.

Catholics, this is our chance to set things right in this country. The cup is running over with our sins and our country isn't exempt from sinful actions.

This election season, we need to pray and pray hard that we do what God wants us to do - and that is support the republican ticket and make this country whole again. Who knows, maybe Romney will become Catholic after all of this. God is on our side. We need to be on His. Always. It is His commandments we are breaking when we support these evil actions and yes, I consider artificial birth control an evil action right up there with everything else, because it shows that the couple do not put God first in their life and trust in HIM to decide how many children we have or don't have. Not only that, some of them cause abortion - a huge mortal sin.

This may be our last chance and we need to support these two men, no matter how much our pride hurts in coming to the realization that we need to obey God and not man. Do we love the Holy Catholic Church or don't we? And do we love our country or don't we? Do we want to continue down the slippery slope to hell or do we want to prepare ourselves to meet God in an immaculate way that only the Sacraments can provide?

Catholics Need to Fight For Faith


Michael Voris Questions and Answers
August 4, 2012

He makes a great point of Americans voting. For the Lesser of Two Evils - Romney not being Christian and Obama being possessed by evil.

How do we Catholics decide if we should vote or not or who to vote for?

I thought we voted for the lesser of two evils in the last 2 elections. This one is definitely
worse. So is it morally wrong to vote this year or is it worse if we don't vote? What do we, as Catholics, do?

Priests for Life "We Will Disobey!"


Obama and his administration have left Catholics no "choice" (how ironic is that?) but to DISOBEY. We will NOT comply! We will NOT go against God and our Catholic faith! We Will Disobey!!
