MEDICINAL PLANTS Day 8 ANTIBIOTIC PROPIERTIES-Revealed by Heaven to Luz De María
§ RAW GARLIC
Scientific name: Allium sativum Family: Liliaceae
§ After the message
from the blessed Mother on June 3, 2016, Luz de María had a vision in which she
was given the following indications as natural remedies for the illnesses that
are approaching. Our Mother told me that true plagues will come and that we
should ingest a raw clove of garlic every morning, or oil of oregano; these two
are excellent antibiotics. If oil of oregano is not available, oregano can be
boiled to make an infusion; however, the Oil of Oregano is a better antibiotic.

Best Place to visit in August: Block Island, Rhode Island
My dad and mom were married
in Rhode Island after he returned from Antarctica and for a time rented an apartment
over the transportation museum in East Greenwich, Rhode Island
Block Island is situated
south of Rhode Island, this serene resort island offers a beautiful setting for
a summer getaway. Primarily a nature reserve with a population of only 1,000
residents, this island remains uncrowded even at the peak of summer, offering
tranquil beaches and landscapes.
As well as fabulous
restaurants, charming independent stores and accommodation ranging from quaint
hotels to quirky Airbnbs, there’s over 25 km of beautiful sandy beaches to
explore.
There are also hiking and
biking trails, wildlife-spotting opportunities, two historic lighthouses and
awesome outdoor activities such as sailing, swimming, kayaking and
paddle-boarding.
I just suggest booking your
ferry trip in advance, especially if you plan to take your car.

Thursday Feast
Thursday is the day of the week that
our Lord gave himself up for consumption. Thursday commemorates the last
supper. Some theologians believe after Sunday Thursday is the holiest day of
the week. We should then try to make this day special by making a visit to the
blessed sacrament chapel, Mass or even stopping by the grave of a loved one.
Why not plan to count the blessing of the week and thank our Lord. Plan a
special meal. Be at Peace.

According
to Mary Agreda[1] in
her visions it was on a Thursday at six o'clock in the evening and at the
approach of night that the Angel Gabriel approached and announced her as Mother
of God and she gave her fiat.

AUGUST 22 Thursday-Queenship of the
Blessed Virgin Mary
Proverbs, Chapter 8, Verse 13
[The FEAR of the LORD is hatred of evil;] Pride, arrogance, the evil
way, and the perverse mouth I hate.
This is part
of the discourse of wisdom where she speaks invitingly, giving a threat only in
the last line. The theme of this chapter is Wisdom’s desire for intimacy with
God and desire to be with human beings. Jesus, like Wisdom, calls out to people
to listen to him, promises to tell them the truth, seeks disciples, invites
them to a banquet, and gives them life. The truth and sincerity of wisdom are
absolute because they are of divine origin. They can neither deceive nor
tolerate deception. Those who are wise understand and accept this. “Straight”
and “crooked” in Hebrew and English are metaphors for true, trustworthy and
false, deceitful. She is God’s friend and intimate and invites human beings to
a similar relationship to God through her.[1]
Queenship
of the Blessed Virgin Mary[2]
On the 11th of October 1954, Pope Pius XII
established the Feast of the Queenship of Mary to be celebrated throughout the
world, and commanded that on that day each year, the world should renew its
consecration to her. In the future the Feast came to be celebrated on 22nd of
August. On the day of her Assumption, Mary our Mother was solemnly crowned by
Christ and received by the whole court of Heaven as Queen. What Christ has done
in Heaven and the Church has done on our behalf we should now do individually,
that is, we should recognize Mary's Queenship, enthrone her in our homes,
consecrate ourselves to her and, by this means, establish in our lives the
reign of Mary Immaculate Queen of the Universe.
How to Enthrone
Mary Immaculate Queen in Your Home and
Consecrate Your Family to Her a
statue or picture may
be blessed; If convenient, ask a priest to perform the ceremony, otherwise the
head of the family can do it. Prepare
her altar with flowers and candles, giving her an honored place in your home
where all will see her and often pray to her. Recite
together kneeling:
Act
of Contrition; 3 Hail Mary’s; 3 Gloria’s; 3 times the invocation: Mary Immaculate Queen: Triumph and Reign. followed by
the
Catechism of the Catholic Church
PART
ONE: THE PROFESSION OF FAITH
SECTION TWO-I. THE CREEDS
CHAPTER TWO
I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY SON OF GOD
Article 3-"HE WAS CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,
AND WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY"
Paragraph 2. "CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY"
Day
69
I. CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. . .
484 The Annunciation to Mary
inaugurates "the fullness of time", The time of the fulfilment
of God's promises and preparations. Mary was invited to conceive him in whom
the "whole fullness of deity" would dwell "bodily". The
divine response to her question, "How can this be, since I know not
man?", was given by the power of the Spirit: "The Holy Spirit will
come upon you."
485 The mission of the Holy
Spirit is always conjoined and ordered to that of the Son. The Holy
Spirit, "the Lord, the giver of Life", is sent to sanctify the womb
of the Virgin Mary and divinely fecundate it, causing her to conceive the eternal
Son of the Father in a humanity drawn from her own.
486 The Father's only Son,
conceived as man in the womb of the Virgin Mary, is "Christ", that is
to say, anointed by the Holy Spirit, from the beginning of his human existence,
though the manifestation of this fact takes place only progressively: to the
shepherds, to the magi, to John the Baptist, to the disciples. Thus the
whole life of Jesus Christ will make manifest "how God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power."
II.... BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY
487 What the Catholic faith
believes about Mary is based on what it believes about Christ, and what it
teaches about Mary illumines in turn its faith in Christ.
Mary's predestination
488 "God sent forth his
Son", but to prepare a body for him, he wanted the free co-operation
of a creature. For this, from all eternity God chose for the mother of his Son
a daughter of Israel, a young Jewish woman of Nazareth in Galilee, "a
virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the
virgin's name was Mary":
The Father
of mercies willed that the Incarnation should be preceded by assent on the part
of the predestined mother, so that just as a woman had a share in the coming of
death, so also should a woman contribute to the coming of life.
489 Throughout the Old Covenant the mission of many holy women prepared for that of Mary. At the very beginning there was Eve; despite her disobedience, she receives the promise of a posterity that will be victorious over the evil one, as well as the promise that she will be the mother of all the living. By virtue of this promise, Sarah conceives a son in spite of her old age. Against all human expectation God chooses those who were considered powerless and weak to show forth his faithfulness to his promises: Hannah, the mother of Samuel; Deborah; Ruth; Judith and Esther; and many other women. Mary "stands out among the poor and humble of the Lord, who confidently hope for and receive salvation from him. After a long period of waiting the times are fulfilled in her, the exalted Daughter of Sion, and the new plan of salvation is established."
