Saints, Feast, Family - Traditions passed down with Cooking, Crafting, & Caring - April 19 Saint of the day: Saint Expeditus Patron Saint of against procrastination, of emergencies, expeditious solutions, merchants, navigators, programmers, and hackers revolutionaries Friday of the Third Week of Easter Job, Chapter 5, Verse 21-22 21 From the scourge of the tongue you shall be hidden, and you shall not FEAR approaching ruin. 22 At ruin and want you shall laugh; the beasts of the earth, do not fear. What is to be observed and avoided in conversation? How we are to bear the evil tongues of others? [1] IT IS A matter of as great importance to guard the tongue as it is the pupil of the eye, because " Death and life are in the power of the tongue ." (Prov. 18:21). Be prudent in every conversation, suppressing that immoderate inclination which rashly hurries most people on to pass sentence upon their neighbor without due examination and deference to th

Saints, Feast, Family - Traditions passed down with Cooking, Crafting, & Caring - April 21 Saint of the day: Saint Anselm of Canterbury Fourth Sunday after Easter · Start Total Consecration to Mary April 21 to end on May 24, the feast of Mary, Help of Christians Job, Chapter 6, Verse 14 A friend owes kindness to one in despair, though he has forsaken the FEAR of the Almighty. Job now speaks and goes on to chide his frienemies for not giving kindness to him when he is destitute. Even the ungodly treat their friend with respect. I can imagine that when Job was at his height of power and prestige before the devil’s attack; his friends were sucking up to him and fondling his ego to great extremes but now they have nothing but contempt for him. True friends are faithful to the end. Job longs for a true friend. We should reflect on this that Job longed for what we have received by the grace of God; an intimate relationship with Him via the Holy Spirit and the act

Saints, Feast, Family - Traditions passed down with Cooking, Crafting, & Caring - Saint of the day: Saint Donan Patron Saint of Eigg, Scotland Job, Chapter 3, Verse 25 For what I FEARED overtakes me; what I dreaded comes upon me. Job is not just experiencing self-fulfilling prophecy here; he is under a real attack. In chapter two of Job, we see: [1] · God bragging about Job, and Satan, once again, doesn't buy it. · God gives Satan permission to hurt Job physically, something he wouldn't let him do last time. Just don't kill him. · Satan's method of choice? Give Job sores from his tippy toes to his noggin. · Job's wife apparently doesn't find this attractive because she suggests that he curse God and die. But Job refuses to be disloyal. · Job's buddies Eliphaz, Zophar, and Bildad come to visit and chill with him while he rolls around in ash and sackcloth. This is all standard procedur

Saints, Feast, Family - Traditions passed down with Cooking, Crafting, & Caring - April 20 Saint of the day: Saint Agnes of Montepulciano Patron Saint of Siena, Italy Saturday of the Third Week of Easter WEED DAY Acts, Chapter 9, Verse 31 The church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was at peace. It was being built up and walked in the FEAR of the Lord, and with the consolation of the Holy Spirit it grew in numbers. The church was at peace because the apostles trusted in the power of God and accepted Saul as Paul. Saul was the major threat to the fledgling church until Christ stopped Saul in his tracks. For those who do not fear God let us pray that Christ stops us knocks us to the ground and delivers us as He did Saul. Christ chose Saul because he was an earnest man first. The great need at this hour is manly men. We want not goody-goody piety; we have too much of it. We want men who will do right, though the heavens fall, who

Saints, Feast, Family - Traditions passed down with Cooking, Crafting, & Caring - Saint of the day: Saint Bernadette Soubirous Patron Saint of illness, people ridiculed for their piety, poverty, shepherds, shepherdesses, and Lourdes, France Tuesday of the Third Week of Easter SAINT BERNADETTE Job, Chapter 2, Verse 3 The LORD said to the Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him, blameless and upright, FEARING God and avoiding evil. He still holds fast to his innocence although you incited me against him to ruin him for nothing.” Satan is indeed our adversary but let us focus on what our Lord tells us. I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more. I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one. (Luke, Chapter 12, Verse 4-5) It would seem that Christ is talking about the Devil her

[1] Q. What is the relationship between sunlight and depression? Sunlight has a complex relationship with depression. On the one hand, sunlight can help to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression. On the other hand, too much sunlight exposure can also have negative consequences for mental health. One of the most well-known effects of sunlight on mood is its ability to increase levels of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating mood, sleep, and appetite. When serotonin levels are low, people may experience symptoms of depression, such as sad

Penguins and the Puzzle Palace

Penguins and the Puzzle Palace By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky ( bio - articles - email ) | Apr 15, 2024 Share Tweet Share Pin Email We have an ingrained curiosity to solve puzzles. From childhood tinker toys to modern skyscrapers, our curiosity helps us overcome engineering complexities. Curiosity also helps us assemble the picture puzzle of God’s revelation. By God’s design, life is a puzzle palace for us. On the Road to Emmaus, Jesus assembles the scriptural pieces found in the Old Testament to demonstrate that the Messiah had to suffer and die to save us from our sins. God creates. Man sins. God promises a Redeemer. He forms and prepares the Chosen People to receive the Messiah in the fullness of time. Moses and the Exodus provide a blueprint for our journey to the Promised Land. The Prophets direct us on the right path. The risen Jesus appears to His Apostles. Jesus confers the dignity of life in union with Him through the sacraments. He appears in his glorified body. Jes

Monday Night at the Movies Roberto Rossellini, Stromboli, 1950 Monday of the Fourth Week of Easter EARTH DAY Passover begins at Sundown. Job, Chapter 6, Verse 21 It is thus that you have now become for me; you see a terrifying thing and are AFRAID . Job is a horrifying thing to look upon. He is just plain nasty. Full of oozing sores and covered in filth. He kind of looks like our savior on the way to pay for our sins. Job is scaring his neighbors, and they find no fun in fear. Can you run away from your fears? Taking Courage [1] The words “Be Not Afraid” are written more than 365 times in the Bible. God has reminded us continuously throughout Sacred Scripture to have no fear and trust in Him. Sometimes circumstances let our fear take the lead while our faith in God lags. St. John Paul II reminds us to “Be Not Afraid”. “Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly knowing that I am with you, therefore no harm can befall you; all i

Auxilium Christianorum - Praying for Persecuted Priests Monday, May 24 is the Feast of Mary Mother of the Church. It is also the Feast of Mary Help of Christians (Auxilium Christianorum). Please consider joining this Auxilium Christianorum family to pray daily for our holy and courageous persecuted priests. The Church teaches us that it is divided into the Church Triumphant (which includes the members of the Church in heaven), the Church Suffering (this includes the members of the Church in purgatory), and the Church Militant (this refers to those members of the Church who are alive in this world). Because we are part of the Church Militant, we are in a spiritual warfare and this spiritual warfare requires that we recognize, as Saint Paul teaches us "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places." ( Ephesians 6:12 ) The me
