NO PROCASTINATION Day
Romans,
Chapter 13, verse 3-4
3
For rulers are not a cause of FEAR
to good conduct, but to evil. Do
you wish to have no fear of authority? Then do what is good and you will
receive approval from it, 4 for it is a servant of God for your
good. But if you do evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword
without purpose; it is the servant of God to inflict wrath on the evildoer.
What
we are talking about here is blind obedience or loyalty. Paul concludes that
believers are to render obedience to governing authorities and by doing so they
render obedience to God from whose power all authority comes. Paul deduces that
kings and magistrates’ rule by consent of God, but it is the responsibility of
these authorities to make just ordinances and to enact laws that support
decency. Caesar is not entitled to
obedience when such obedience would nullify God’s prior claim to the believer’s
morality.
On
a historical note: Today the secularists of France took King Louis XVI and had
him beheaded by use of a guillotine in front of a crowd of Parisians.
Fight Procrastination Day[1]
“I never put off till tomorrow what I can possibly do — the day after.” ― Oscar Wilde
Procrastination can really be the bane of our existence,
with another day coming around the corner, there’s no real reason that we can’t
put it off till tomorrow is there? Of course not, and tomorrow has another
tomorrow, so let’s do it again! It is by this way of thinking that absolutely
nothing gets done, and we know good and well that procrastination is us out to
get ourselves. But what can we do? Fight Procrastination Day reminds us that
it’s up to us to beat this monster, and only we can decide to get up and get
done today what was supposed to be done.
History of Fight Procrastination Day
Fight Procrastination Day tells us to get up in arms and
start battling the age-old beast that is “putting things off”. There are a
million techniques to battle it, but procrastination is decidedly an epic level
raid monster, and sometimes it seems like a concerted effort of us and our most
efficient friends is the only thing that will put it down. The fight against
procrastination has been going on a long time, and there have been some really
creative methods created to fight it, all to varying success. What kind of
crazy techniques? How about Victor Hugo and James Riley choosing to write naked
so it wasn’t a simple matter to head out to drink with the boys at the local
pub? Not necessarily a universally practical method, but it definitely has its
high points. Then there are modern versions that are truly remarkable, programs
that you download onto your computer that act as a filter according to the
rules you set up… Ya know, like if you work at home and want to use it to
control your behavior during work hours?
How to celebrate Fight Procrastination Day
You celebrate Procrastination Day by getting ready to fight
putting things off all day long. You can do this by starting with precommitment
the night before, you set yourself an alarm, get rid of your distractions, set
up your workspace, and be ready to hit the ground running when you get up. If
you’re trying to make sure you’re ready for work, set your breakfast, coffee,
and towels for the morning shower up the night before. Everything to streamline
your way out the door and prevent you from dawdling.

PART TWO: THE CELEBRATION OF THE CHRISTIAN MYSTERY
SECTION TWO-THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS OF THE CHURCH
I. Why
Is This Sacrament Called "Orders"?
1537 The
word order in Roman antiquity designated an established civil body, especially
a governing body. Ordinatio means incorporation into an ordo. In the Church
there are established bodies which Tradition, not without a basis in Sacred
Scripture, has since ancient times called taxeis (Greek) or ordines. and
so the liturgy speaks of the ordo episcoporum, the ordo presbyterorum, the ordo
diaconorum. Other groups also receive this name of ordo: catechumens, virgins,
spouses, widows,....
1538
Integration into one of these bodies in the Church was accomplished by a rite
called ordinatio, a religious and liturgical act which was a consecration, a
blessing or a sacrament. Today the word "ordination" is reserved for
the sacramental act which integrates a man into the order of bishops,
presbyters, or deacons, and goes beyond a simple election, designation,
delegation, or institution by the community, for it confers a gift of the Holy
Spirit that permits the exercise of a "sacred power" (sacra potestas) which
can come only from Christ himself through his Church. Ordination is also called
consecratio, for it is a setting apart and an investiture by Christ himself for
his Church. the laying on of hands by the bishop, with the consecratory prayer,
constitutes the visible sign of this ordination.
