 Elf TWELFTH NIGHT evening prior to epiphany   Romans, Chapter 15, Verse 30-32 30 I urge you, [brothers,] by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the LOVE of the Spirit, to join me in the struggle by your prayers to God on my behalf, 31 that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea, and that my ministry for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the holy ones, 32 so that I may come to you with joy by the will of God and be refreshed together with you.   Paul was asking for the prayers of his friends in Christ and so I ask your prayers also for the success of this ministry.

 The Most Holy Name of Jesus Tuesday HOLY NAME OF JESUS 10 TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS   Romans, Chapter 13, Verse 8-10 8 Owe nothing to anyone, except to LOVE one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, [namely] “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.   Bishop Fulton Sheen is one of his weekly addresses in February 1999 entitled "Truth - Forgotten Ideal” stated:  Submission is one of the deepest needs of the human heart. After a century and a half of false liberalism, in which it was denied that anything is true, and that it makes no difference what you believe, the world reacted to totalitarianism. It grew tired of its freedom, just as children in progressive schools gro...
