Joshua, Chapter 10, Verse 8
God was stronger than Adonizedek,
king of Jerusalem and his posse.
God is stronger than the Devil and his entire posse.
God is stronger than all the communists, atheists, politicians,
and propaganda ministers of our age.
Our Lady tells us to not fear them, but fear God and pray.
The wrath
of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and
wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. For what can be
known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. Ever
since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and
divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As
a result, they have no excuse; for although they knew God they did not accord
him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their
reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. While claiming to be wise,
they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness
of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of
snakes. Therefore, God handed them over
to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of
their bodies. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and
worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
(Rom. 1:18-25)
Novena in Honor of Saint John Marie Vianney[1]
Horror of
Sin
Saint John Mary Baptist
Vianney, you were so adamant against sin, yet so sympathetic and so ready to
welcome the sinner. I come to you today as if you were still alive, as if I
were kneeling at your feet and you could hear me. Bend towards me, listen to the
repentant confidence for the weaknesses and miserable deeds of mine. Priest of
the Lord, inexhaustible Confessor, obtain for me the horror for sin. You wanted
us First to avoid the occasion of sin. I want to take your advice and make the
resolution to break bad habits and to avoid the dangerous occasions of sin.
Help me today to examine my conscience. Holy Priest of Ars, I have confidence
in your intercession. Pray for me during this novena especially for... (mention
silently your special intentions).
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

Paragraph 5. HEAVEN AND EARTH
325 The Apostles' Creed
professes that God is "creator of heaven and earth". the Nicene Creed
makes it explicit that this profession includes "all that is, seen and
unseen".
326 The Scriptural expression
"heaven and earth" means all that exists, creation in its entirety.
It also indicates the bond, deep within creation, that both unites heaven and
earth and distinguishes the one from the other: "the earth" is the
world of men, while "heaven" or "the heavens" can designate
both the firmament and God's own "place" - "our Father in
heaven" and consequently the "heaven" too which is
eschatological glory. Finally, "heaven" refers to the saints and the
"place" of the spiritual creatures, the angels, who surround God.
327 The profession of faith of
the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) affirms that God "from the beginning of
time made at once (simul) out of nothing both orders of creatures, the
spiritual and the corporeal, that is, the angelic and the earthly, and then
(deinde) the human creature, who as it were shares in both orders, being
composed of spirit and body."
I. THE ANGELS
The existence of angels - a
truth of faith
328 The existence of the
spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls
"angels" is a truth of faith. the witness of Scripture is as clear as
the unanimity of Tradition.
Who are they?
329 St. Augustine says:
"'Angel' is the name of their office, not of their nature. If you seek the
name of their nature, it is 'spirit'; if you seek the name of their office, it
is 'angel': from what they are, 'spirit', from what they do, 'angel.'" With
their whole beings the angels are servants and messengers of God. Because they
"always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven" they are the
"mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word".
330 As purely spiritual
creatures angels have intelligence and will: they are personal and immortal
creatures, surpassing in perfection all visible creatures, as the splendor of
their glory bears witness.
National Cheesecake Day[2]
National Cheesecake Day is a day of appreciation for the cheesecake dessert. Based on the discovery of cheese molds, it is believed that cheesecake originated in ancient Greece. Athenaeus, a Greek writer, is credited with the first cheesecake recipe, which only used basic ingredients such as cheese, flour and honey. After the Romans conquered Greece, cheesecake recipes began to include eggs and baking time. With the passing of time, cheesecake ingredients were modified to resemble the finished product we know today. However, the use of cream cheese is an entirely American version of the cheesecake, one that has evolved to consist of an uncooked cream cheese filling on top of cookie or graham crackers, while English cheesecakes are cooked to completion and have a dry texture. This scrumptious national holiday occurs every year on July 30th.
