Dorin's Fudgy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

I was watching Stephen and Chris yesterday and they made a half-made homemade recipe for these delicious cookie bars.

Because I am going to a christmas party at Trail Bottle Depot on Sunday I thought these would be good to make . They are so easy and I loved watching Stephen and Chris' show yesterday , so I am making them for christmas and for the party. I stuck the recipe in a nice recipe card to print off .

You can find this delicious recipe and more from yersterday's show here.

Our Door Decorating Contest .

Our building had a door decorating contest . I won a $20 gift card to Wal-Mart yay! Out of 21 people who entered we were second place . So thank you for that .

To come up with a theme for our door , we chose to call it after the name of our street: Barberry Walk. I thought of just having a christmas tree with 'Berry Christmas' somewhere on it . So this is what we did. I kind of left out the greenery on the right side . I didn't have anymore of it I think. oops :P

For the stump I stuck a picture of our building . It says "Berry Christmas"

The Alphas on the Tree (not the stump) come from cmas alphas from Giggle Scraps at gigglescraps.blogspot.com
Here is our door sideways cause it wouldn't all fit in one frame

We couldn't use paint but it could probably use some more berries and more garland around the door frame .The berries I got at the dollar store. I couldn't find a decent door matt and I didn't know how to make one with letters on it . So the wreaths will have to do . At least it's Christmassy.

We also hung a banner in the hallway

We aren't supposed to cover the emergency info there on the wall lol  Anyway, it's a good thing cause today the fire alarms went off and rang for over an hour . Apparently there was a flood on the 3rd floor . The elevators weren't working either , and there were a lot of perturbed people to say the least , who couldn't use the stairs for one reason or another. A lot of them have medical conditions :(

Veni Veni Emmanuel!

Enjoy a nice advent meditation song.

A Christmas Ornament

This year I had the privilege of entering a christmas splendour ornament exchange . We received a lovely mercury bird clip-on ornament . It was beautiful but my boyfriend dropped it and it broke as he was putting it on the tree that we have .

Thank-you to Beth, who sent her blog address , I contacted her about it and told her we would be willing to pay for one if she were to get another one for us because we liked it so much . I never thought to check out Pottery Barn here in Calgary until after . So , we did. Yesterday. Guess what? We found the EXACT same one we had broken to smitherines!! I was so happy, and so was Phil , that we bought TWO mercury
clip-on birds...
 


See how nice they are sitting in our tree.

Anyway I like to decorate this tree since we have no room for a Christmas Tree . Actually I like those plants . They work perfect as a Christmas tree IMO. Here is our Christmas tree/plant from last year:

and here is this years.

:) It’s perfect for the two of us .

What is Christmas?

Here we are talking about the salvation of mankind and of the Incarnation of Christ, the Son of God, who became the new Adam, assuming all that is human, and by this assumption saved and deified man. He came to reconcile us to the Father after the Fall. He became man in order to deliver us from death and corruption and make us the sons and daughters of God and gods by participation. So why did God become man which He was not before? It was to make man god. God desired this so much that Jesus came out of the bosom of the Father without separation, and descended and came to earth for that reason.

He did not come as a Judge to judge the world, not yet, but He came to save it after the Fall. So through the Incarnation of Christ, we, who are corruptible matter are able to partake in His divinity and of His Kingdom if we observe His commandments and His Law. Thus the Word became flesh.

So let Christmas take its real place in our heart and out of respect for our priceless ransom let us love our Lord and Master who paid it. Let us welcome His love and we will know that if He had not wanted to save us after having redeemed us, He would not have descended on earth at all. He would not have been sacrificed because of us. But he did it by His own free will and because of the infinite Love He has for each one of us. But man has distorted the meaning of Christmas. This is what the Lord said once on the 24th December 1991, the eve of Christ's birth...

“...today I come with peace-terms and a Message of Love, but the peace I am offering is blasphemed by the earth and the Love I am giving them is mocked and jeered in the Eve of My Birth; mankind is celebrating these days without My Holy Name; My Holy Name has been abolished and they take the day of My Birth as a great holiday of leisure, worshipping idols...I have warned the world...”

In this message Christ shows us how much He is offended by our indifference and by our deviating His Birth into trivial things, celebrating Christmas in the wrong way and without remembering the real reason. For many people celebrate the Christmas tree instead , and the exchange of gifts, and the food, eating until sick, going on holidays and amusing themselves to folly, instead of adoring Jesus as the first shepherds did in the manger.

The Lord says:

“...Satan is deceiving the world once more with the same lie he deceived Eve ... that they too can be God (1) and are self-sufficient and do not need Me...” June 1, 2002

The world today, our Lord says, refuses the glory of God and prefers to live as if there is no God, for the world is paying no attention to God's Law or precepts. The world refuses to give glory to God and instead glorifies itself, playing God.

Jesus said:

“...they are doing all these things because they have never known either the Father or Myself...all they do is wither their soul for they snapped their navel string attached to Me and that nourished their soul...they are heading willingly into the eternal fires...” July 25/26, 1989

As you see from these messages, God is not pleased, especially when it comes to Christmas time when one should be living Christmas the right way and giving glory to God and remembering Jesus as our Savior who redeemed us.

The Advent Virus

WARNING……WARNING: ADVENT VIRUS

Be on the alert for symptoms of inner Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to this virus and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.

Some signs and symptoms of The Advent Virus:

• A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.
• An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
• A loss of interest in judging other people.
• A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
• A loss of interest in conflict.
• A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.)
• Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
• Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
• Frequent attacks of smiling.
• An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.
• An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

Please send this warning out to all your friends. This virus can and has affected many systems. Some systems have been completely cleaned out because of it.

Oh Hey! I found my calling lol

I stumbled upon journal4jesus.com yesterday, and my boyfriend brought home a new pen for me last night lol. Is that a sign or something?

Check it out. I really really like the idea. When I was homeless (yes for about 10 minutes) I thought very quickly, as I was walking along, where could I go because the shelter for women here in Calgary wouldn't let me back in after I had gone to see my abusive husband again. I thought maybe my brother could let me stay with him for awhile. It's a good thing I did, I was pregnant too, and I had a kidney stone attack. If anyone has had kidney stones, you know how painful they are. I was worried I was going to lose the baby, but I didn't. Everything was fine after 3 or 4 days. I have since then got them lasered and never had a recurring attack of kidney stones. It seems like milk makes it worse, though.

Anyhow, I didn't want to impose on my brother, even though he was more than willing to accommodate me, I just didn't feel comfortable being there. My brother's wife is a really nice lady but I, for some reason feel really uncomfortable and inferior to her, so I looked for another place to live. The place I found was Youville. I really wanted to go there, and they let me in, even though they knew I was pregnant, I guess they wanted to help.

On with the point of the story. When I was at Youville, a 3rd stage shelter for women, we were supposed to keep a Journal. Youville was run by the Sisters of Charity.

There motto is : "Welcoming women who are in need of our services regardless of race, colour or creed, St. Marguerite d'Youville was known as the mother of universal charity"Sisters of Charity(Grey Nuns) of Alberta

We were told to submit our journals in every morning to our personal (nun, we each had one), and she would read it and write some things back. Sorta like spiritual guidance. I guess they are trained for that sort of stuff. I was pregnant, so I knew my stay was going to be shortened, but I had the most terrible time of my life! It was a very stressful time for me. I practically got into a physical fight with this one lady oy vey! I did come away with some tools for life, and that is keeping up with Journal writing. It is a very useful tool for recovery. However, I think if it used for therapy , it's best to have the spiritual guidance. Jesus is our Spiritual Director, isn't He? Yes!

I really like the idea of playing back the scriptures and to write about what Jesus is speaking to you through His Word, it's a beautiful thing to do I'd say.

A series of Unfortunate Events

I was born on October 4th, 1964 in Sfax, Tunisia. I live in Calgary and am the youngest of 6. My parents got divorced when I was 14 still easily influenced. I hung out with the wrong crowd and started smoking and doing drugs. Soon after my life shattered in a series of unfortunate events

About Drugs:

"Satan wants you to forget who you are, many fall into this trap, leading them to neglect their soul; and they become easy prey for Satan who wants your soul."

Hell Exists

I took the opportunity to go away to boarding school in 1979 and had a bad experience with drugs. It is there I lost my identity.
I was in a stinky smelly bar and cried all night. I couldn't sleep, and I began hearing voices. Under the influence of drugs and prescription medication, I soon fell unconscious and was in a coma for a week. Only after I returned to Canada under psychiatric care, they determined what I was suffering.

I had Drug Induced Psychosis 

When I was in Mallorca Spain, my brother was traveling Europe. If it weren't for him taking care of me, I don't know what would have happened. I wasn't aware of what was going on with me consciously, and I almost burnt the door down with a lighter! To keep me from burning the house down, my brother shoved his bed in front of the bedroom door at night so that I wouldn't get out. He said I took a shower once with my clothes on. It was evident I needed zombie masters strict supervision.
Once I was unaware of pulling myself away from, who I thought was my sister, but was playing tug-o-war with an arm, and it hurt, so finally I gave up resisting lest they rip my arm off. She was an evil zombie master nurse, probably the one who stole all my things, and for that reason, my brother took me out of there. I am proud of my brother. My sister had come to visit me also and fed me some brains yogurt; she said my tongue was swollen and hanging out of my mouth. I wasn't eating anything else. I also remember putting vaseline all over my face. That was weird.
When my dad came back from working on the rigs, we flew back to Canada and got proper medical care. My parents were in the midst of a divorce, but the night before I was to board the plane I woke up. I felt like a little kid, but at least I was aware of my surroundings because you can't board a plane if you aren't mentally able. I know my dad was praying for me hard. I'm not the same person I used to be. I could have lost much more than my identity, but I lived with the consequences. I'd never foreseen admittance to the psychiatric hospital in the long term, but I was. If my parents would've stayed together, maybe things would've been different. The way I see it, I was institutionalized or sentenced to life in prison with 50% chance of making it on my own.I was a ward of the courts and placed in a home for teenage misfits. William Roper Hull Home. Alone and dangerous.

Faith

My faith in God dwindled from the Catholic Church, and I married a deviant. I had seven children whom Child Services apprehended from a terrible ordeal. In my sorrow over such great loss, I found my comfort in this Scripture verse:
Jeremiah 49:11"Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive. Let your widows trust in Me" I pray for them every day. From what I know they are well taken care of, and I guess I have certain someone's to thank for which I won't mention names. Although I still like to think I had something to do with it. That their good kids, that is, I hope.

from left to right: Curtis, Alex, Joshua.

hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil

Anyhow, I lost my family, my identity, and my children.
Yes, I am broken. I don't see much of anyone anymore.

Switchfoot- We were meant to live

I like their music.

My Reflection

I think most of us have forgotten where we come from. I naturally am not born into royalty , but that is what we are, spiritually . We belong to the Most High and therefore we descend from sovereignty and splendour as Vassula so aptly put it . (<--this is a windows media audio play. )

"...I, your God tell you: sons! and daughters! you are the offspring of the Most High! you descend from the Sovereignty and Splendour, oh come! you belong to Us! you belong to Heaven...you are of Royal Descent..."

 We all have wandered so far away from God , that we have forgotten who we are and to whom we belong. Jesus didn't say he wasn't a king when pilate confronted him. In fact, He says " For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."  For Isaiah 9:5 says that we will call him that ...

"For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace. 6 His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, From David's throne, and over his kingdom, which he confirms and sustains by judgment and justice, both now and forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this!"

Ok , it doesn't say He is King necessarily but that His Throne will have dominion forever . We are descendents of the Most High. Praised Be The LORD.

So I got my new computer

I now have Windows Vista. I love it. I installed all the updates today , uploaded all my pictures and documents from the old computer, and stuck some pics into shabbyblog frames . I wish I knew how to separate them . I like Live Writer , it's so cool, except it wouldn't let me publish this post with this picture . With Windows Live Writer you can insert a watermark on them , I thought that was pretty neat.

Word Of Blog is UNSAFE!

Do not use wordofblog. Every time I went to that site , my computer was showing me that it had just deleted a virus. I scanned my computer each time and everything was fine . Now, I hear the site has been suspended and for good reason.  If anyone visited my blog showing a warning because of the content from that site , I am sorry . I got the warning too, that it was unsafe to visit my blog :(  I just hope blogger won't suspend me . I  have removed the content and hopefully everything will be fine. That kinda scared me   .

You aren't even safe from crowds on the internet !

Much Thanks!

I love Smilebox ! It's fun and easy to use and they have a lot of nice designs . It's free to download the program but if you don't like having ads on your creations , like I do , you can pay a small price to use them anywhere and you can even print them. It costs something like $2.99 for every creation you want to use(without ads and unlimited use, which means you own it) or you can be a smilebox club member , which is $39.95 a year I think. You can also pay by month. Please click on the link . thanks =)

Flu vaccinations - This is Fascinating

NOTE: We respectfully recognize and accept the final authority regarding apparitions, locutions and prophecies presently being reported around the world rests with the Holy See of Rome and the Magisterium of Holy Mother Church to whose judgment we humbly and obediently submit.

That was said with regard to the following messages . I am just relaying and passing them on , that's all, as I happen to believe they are authentic until proven otherwise. 

Our LORD warned us not to accept these flu "vaccinations" at all costs. He told us to pray to Him in advance of accepting any kind of medication for any reason. That includes over-the-counter medication. Refer to the following links:

Beware of Medication and Evil Men
Drug Co. Caught Injecting Live Bird Flu Virus Into Flu Vaccines


Further, He told us to stay out of crowds, and to wash our hands often.

The Plagues Will Now Begin

Once again, we hasten to emphasize that we have nothing to worry about, provided that we obey Our Lord's directives in the writings above, and those which follow.

What follows are:- certain relevant messages from Our Lord via John Leary (3)


April 27, 2009:
Jesus said: "My people, I have been preparing you for a coming pandemic virus that will kill many people. I have encouraged you to buy some masks and to take Hawthorn herbs by pill or tea to build up your immune system. Some times you have seen various scare hypes with SARS, West Nile, and Bird Flu, but there were never large numbers killed. Influenza does kill many people each year, but you have not seen a very virulent flu up to now in recent years. The latest attention is being drawn to the Swine Flu which is still being investigated in Mexico and the U.S. Some scare tactics have been used in the past, but beware of a coming disease that will have a high mortality rate. The one world people use such diseases to lower the population as part of their death culture plan. Many of these viruses are man-made for this purpose of reducing the population, and scaring the people with such threats. Many upper respiratory symptoms are a result of the viruses placed in the chemtrails that you see in the skies. Be watchful when a deadly disease starts killing off the people because this will be one of your signs to call on Me to have your guardian angels lead you to the nearest refuge. Looking on the luminous crosses and drinking from the miraculous spring water will heal you of this disease, much like Moses held up the bronze serpent to heal the Israelites' snake bites."

Jesus said: "My people, this latest scare of swine flu spreading to five countries and various states has shown human to human contact and it is very communicable as the regular flu bugs are. An unusual aspect of this outbreak is that it is occurring at the end of the flu season in a warm country. It has been deadly in killing people in Mexico, but it has not been seen to cause any deaths in the U.S. Such an outbreak has already closed schools to stop it from spreading, and people are wearing masks to try and prevent it also. This incident could be exploited by the one world people to control the people through quarantines, even without deaths from this disease. A more virulent form could mutate and cause more deaths, especially if it were a man-made virus spread to reduce the population on purpose. I will warn My faithful when a deadly strain will be used against you. At My refuges you will be healed of these pandemic diseases. So have no fear when I am at your side. "

May 1, 2009:
Jesus said: "My people, I have given you many messages concerning chemtrails where your government is purposely putting viruses in them to lower your people's immune systems and cause upper respiratory infections. This is all part of the death culture people who are trying to reduce the population so the one world people have less people to control. Many of these scare diseases are man-made and this latest swine flu is another excuse for involuntary quarantines for wherever the one world people want to control. This name of swine flu has even confused people that they did not want to eat pork, so now the media is using H1N1 as a new name. I have told you in the past (2-8-08, 2-18-08, 4-25-08) to avoid taking flu shots because they will be giving you live viruses that could spread disease instead of preventing it. There have been reports in your literature that one drug company has in fact put live Avian flu virus in a bird flu vaccine (4). I am warning you again that this new vaccine for swine flu will be made by similar companies which could spread the disease more than prevent it. The death culture people are more intent on reducing the population than preventing any epidemic. I know these are difficult warnings, but there are evidences to defy nature and cause more deaths in the population. AIDS and ebola are other examples of this same man-made manipulation by the one world people. As these diseases mutate, it will become necessary for My faithful to go to My refuges where you will be healed of these diseases by looking on My luminous cross and drinking the healing spring water. Having masks, taking Hawthorn herbs, and vitamins will also build up your immune system to fight these viruses."

Jesus said: "My people, as more facts about swine flu come out in your news, you are seeing that this strain is not as deadly as your media was describing. It appears swine flu is more communicable, but less deadly because humans can develop antibodies to fight it off. Bird flu is more deadly, but it is less communicable. Only a small number of deaths have actually been confirmed from swine flu by your scientists. There could be a lot of swine flu passed in the population, but it would take some major mutations to become very deadly. Be prepared for this possibility with masks and building up your immune system with Hawthorn, herbs, and vitamins."

May 14, 2009:
Jesus said: "My people, your scientists are concerned that this current Swine Flu is spreading freely all across the world. This is an H1N1 flu which has a similar structure to the H1N1 Spanish Flu that was very deadly in its mortality rate in 1918. Even if this pandemic has not killed many people, there is a fear that it could mutate to a more deadly flu in the next flu season. This is another example of why it is hard to anticipate which flu that will be prevalent in the next season. Pray that people will have enough antibodies to fight off whatever flu emerges next fall."

May 22, 2009:
Jesus said: "My people, you are currently seeing the Swine Flu spread over many countries, and some people are dying from this first wave of this flu germ. There are plans to spread a second and third wave of a more virulent Swine Flu virus by the use of chemtrails. The evil ones will protect themselves with an antidote vaccine. As more people start dying from this flu, you will see that it has a man-made origin by looking at the DNA markers of the segments in each wave. Already the current Swine Flu has pig flu segments, bird flu segments, human flu segments and flu from various countries all over the world. The fact, that it is still killing people and not dying out, is another sign that it is a manufactured virus and not a natural one. The one world people will use this so-called pandemic virus to make it mandatory to take their vaccine which will actually spread the disease. My people should refuse this vaccine at all costs. Those, who refuse to take the vaccine shots will be taken to the death camps for elimination by gas and cremation. Once this mandatory vaccine for Swine Flu is initiated, this will be another sign to call on Me and I will have your guardian angels lead you to a refuge where you will look upon My luminous cross and drink the spring water to protect you from any pandemic virus. This created crisis of a pandemic virus will be another opportunity for the one world people to declare martial law and take over America. Follow My instructions and you will be protected from this virus and from those trying to kill you."

June 18, 2009:
I could see some men digging a hole and this was to indicate that the recent Swine flu was man-made. Jesus said: “My people, you know that the flu season starts in October and is usually over in February. This latest outbreak of Swine flu has been designated a pandemic, but it is completely out of season. This flu is not just a mutation, but it has all the signs of a laboratory man-made disease. This first wave has been spread very easily, but it has thus far not killed very many people. This H1N1 virus has similarities to the Spanish flu that killed millions of people. The same evil ones, who developed this disease, could just as easily generate a more virulent form that could attack your population in October with more deaths occurring. This is why you need masks and food storage to weather this coming outbreak. Build up your immune system with Hawthorn, herbs, and vitamins. As you see larger numbers dying from this new virus, then you are to call on Me to lead you to My refuges. There you will look upon My luminous cross and drink the healing spring waters which will protect you from all diseases and deadly viruses, or bacteria.”

July 20, 2009:
I could see a young child playing and I realized that these little ones will be vulnerable to the latest flu bugs. Jesus said: "My people, I have warned you before not to take any flu shots because they are putting viruses in these shots that could make you more vulnerable to the latest swine flu. This latest epidemic will be man-made and they will propose a vaccine that is supposed to protect you from this flu strain. Unfortunately, this will be a cruel hoax that will actually make you more vulnerable to the current swine flu. Continue to avoid these flu shots, even if they try to force them on the population. There will be various quarantines that could be used by the one world people to try and gain control for their North American Union. Pray for My protection and any needed healing from these man-made diseases."

Flu Outbreak 2009: SPECIAL REPORT by Dr Leonard Horowitz

LOVE my New Blog!?

Thanks to Heather from butterfly girls blog designs. I got a really really nice blog. [edited] I tried sticking my own picture into the header, but my problem was finding a way to move objects around. She fixed the title font color! I love the colors of the layout. She also made a signature and a link button. I have a cute blog now yay! O LORD Yahweh how grateful I am.

Since most of the FREE layouts come already made, I couldn't ask for more really BUT... Personally, I don't know if leaving the title and description behind the uploaded header is enough! I appreciate FREE layouts with all the frills and basic installation instructions, so THANK YOU !.

Check out the word of blog. You only have to refresh the page. Right now I have a total of 12 FREE blogger backgrounds and layout and designs of some sort. Well most of them are free, save for Designer Blogs. About word of the blog right now, I think it has some kind of virus, and I emailed the owner but no reply. I don't know if it's safe.
I took a computer course once, but that's it. We never had computers when I was going to school, I taught myself; and the knowledge to perform the basic tasks, nevermind in certain software like Photoshop and Gimp and or Ink, etc..is like learning to speak a new language.

~ Do You Want To Love Jesus More? Learn To Pray The Rosary

"The word 'Rosary' means 'Crown of Roses,' that is to say that every time someone says the Rosary devoutly, they place a crown of one hundred fifty-three red roses and sixteen white roses upon the heads of Jesus and Mary. Being heavenly roses they will never fade or lose their exquisite beauty." ~Saint Louis Marie de Montfort

New video encouraging the recitation of the rosary

Quick Video Guide of the Rosary

"Blessed Mother , Come stay with us,
Holy Heavenly Family, come pray with us,
and offer all the rosaries that ever were and ever will be
to Our Heavenly Father for all humanity.
Let its power conquer hate and iniquity,
fill the world with peace and harmony,
crush the head of Satan, who lies in wait so stealthily.

Lord, Let our lowly rosaries, add strength in Unity,
so that the power of the devotion to Our Lady's Rosary
may be spread universally, and Your Will, will be done , as it is in Eternity,
For these Graces we humbly , Thank Thee. Amen."

Prayer and Fasting can change the World

International Week of Prayer and Fasting
Please continue to pray and fast for the conversion of nations to end abortion and bring peace and for all Our Lady's intentions.

Facts about fasting brought to light in Medjugorje by Our Lady

Fasting is an armament, as Our Lady calls it, the "arms" in which to destroy Satan's power in your life. There are 26 main statements Our Lady has told us about fasting. The facts about fasting are as follows:

1. Fasting stops wars.
2. Fasting can suspend the laws of nature.
3. Fasting reduces punishments from God.
4. Fasting is an "arm," a weapon of significant power to defeat (of which atomic power does not compare).
5. Bread and water is the best fast.
6. Fasting, to be powerful, must be done with the heart.
7. Through fasting, the whole plan of Our Lady, that God himself planned for the world's salvation during this special time, will be achieved.
8. By giving our fasting to Our Lady, it "forces" Satan not to be able to seduce us to evil and drives him away.
9. Fasting purifies our hearts from the sins of our past (Through Confession, sins of the past are forgiven, but healing from life-long vice or memories that Satan uses against us to lead us back into sin, requires purification).
10. Fasting, coupled with prayer WILL obtain EVERYTHING you ask for (the exception would be something illicit).
11. Fasting sanctifies you to receive the Holy Spirit.
12. Humility is a fruit from fasting, when coupled with prayer.
13. The present fasting in the Church is not adequate. Our Lady desires this to change. She said fasting has been forgotten in the last quarter of this century in the Catholic Church.
14. Fasting is one element that keeps Satan from conquering us. Faith and prayer are the other two. We, in turn, are to conquer Satan. The arms to do so are fasting coupled with prayer.
15. Satan is enraged against those who fast and convert.
16. Fasting for the sick can cure them along with faith and prayer.
17. Fasting, along with prayer, was offered as a remedy by Our Lady to stop arguments among the Holy Priesthood.
18. Fasting will bring the Kingdom of God among us.
19. Fasting makes Our Lady happy.
20. Fasting will make prayer more vigorous.
21. Our Lady will make the maximum good come from our fast. She wants us to give our fast to Her in which she "disposes of them" according to the will of God.
22. Fasting, coupled with prayer, especially community prayer, will protect you from Satan's aggression in destroying marriages, creating division among priests and will crush him in his plans for obsessions and murders in society today of which Our Lady says he is responsible.
23. To obtain a grace from God, it is best you let no one know you are fasting.
24. We are to fast out of gratitude.
25. Fasting is to be encouraged in others.
26. Our Lady tells us to fast to prepare for the coming of Jesus.

**all facts are from the Fasting booklet published by Caritas, Birmingham, AL




I know October has come and gone but it's never too late. You can make November a journey of prayer and fasting also . Every time you pray the rosary , Our lady says to offer your worries to her, and in return PRAY FOR HER INTENTIONS. She will take care of your worries as long as you offer your prayers for her intentions. Simple right? It seems much easier to me . When I pray the rosary all's I have to do is offer my worries to her and pray for her intentions . That is much better then going through a laundry list of my own lol.

Scripture Study on the Solemnity of All Saints

Ok . Here are my answers to the questions:
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen

Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14
Psalm 24:1-61
John 3:1-3
Matthew 5:1-12

• What does each Beatitude mean to you? If you live the Beatitudes you will receive the reward of heaven and/or Eternal life. 
• What gospel value is it calling you to live? The Imitation of Christ ? I'm not sure
• How hard or easy is it for you to live this gospel value? It's hard if you don't know Christ , so we need to get to know Him and to follow in his footsteps.
• How would living some if not all of the beatitudes get you into trouble? you will be persecuted i.e: thrown into jail etc..
• How would living each of the beatitudes become a blessing in your life? In this life it can give you interior peace and contentment. The CCC paragraph 1717 says "They sustain hope in the midst of tribulation"
• What beatitude challenges you the most and perhaps even repulses you a bit? It has to be vs 11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.... I don't like when people speak evil of me or say bad things about me. I usually avoid it if I can .
• Which Beatitude makes you feel most uncomfortable? vs 10 "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven."- I don't like pain and suffering . I guess I would need strong faith to endure strong trials of persecution like the saints and martyrs did.
• Which one is most puzzling? vs 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. - why is being poor in spirit such a good thing? I thought we are supposed to bear a lot of fruit by living in the spirit ? fruits of the spirit like, joy, peace, patience, kindness, perseverence etc...To me if you live in the spirit and you aren't bearing fruit , the bible says, that every tree that does not bear fruit will be cut down and burned in the fire . So which is it? Bearing fruit that will last or being poor in spirit? Are they contradictive? Is poverty of spirit , a gift of the Holy Spirit and/or a fruit? Not that I know of . I still believe it but it is puzzling , that's all.
• Which one do you feel called to develop more in your life? Why? For me it seems to have been the mourning one. I have lost a lot in my life and my sorrows are Mary's sorrows, and in my grief I also have been comforted . So it's "Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted." This is true in my life anyway.
• Overall, what are the Beatitudes calling you to live in your life? they are calling us to live like Christ .
• How can living the Beatitudes allow you to live more in imitation of Jesus and his holy ones, the Saints? They allow us to live happy with interior peace and contentment in this life. The CCC paragraph 1721 says: "God put us in the world to know, to live, and to serve him, and so to come to paradise. Beatitude makes us "partakers of the divine nature" and of eternal life. With beatitude, man enters into the glory of Christ and into the joy of the Trinitarian life.

I hope this is of some benefit , as it is for me , and that you try to answer the questions for yourselves  Also the discussion for this weeks sunday scripture study is on Vince Contreras blog.
Pray the Rosary everyday for Our Lady's intentions.
God Bless You.

Make Your Own Flu Vaccine - funny

I received this in my email. This is something on the flu shot that’s a little on the lighter side. It’s guaranteed to make you smile if not laugh out loud. Laughter is great for stimulating the immune system :)

Build up immune system NOT with the 'Swine Flu' Vaccine

Thanks to a lady who I met through a friend of mine, I have been getting information on all kinds of things in my inbox regarding the flu vaccine lately. Her website is http://www.awesomerawsome.com/.

I didn't know anything about the flu vaccine, just that I hadn't got one, and probably never will. I have had all my other immunizations as a child and much more, as I was born overseas and to travel to other countries you need to have your immunizations up to date. I remember that well. It is probably why I am immune to needles now lol. They don't bother me, but I never questioned, what I was getting. They told us the name but that was about it, and I'm not dead :)

It is kinda mandatory in Canada to get your baby vaccinated. I didn't think we had a choice on that, and I still don't know if we do or not. It would seem that those who don't, are being rebellious or something. Although the Amish people don't get those vaccines, and they are perfectly healthy :/ Anyway in the email I received, it said according to this link, which doesn't work and appears to be non-existent, a Medical Doctor tells us what is in the swine flu vaccine. Let us just say it was Dr. Mercola:

aluminum hydroxide
aluminum phosphate
ammonium sulfate
amphotericin B
animal tissues: pig blood, horse blood, rabbit brain,
dog kidney, monkey kidney,
chick embryo, chicken egg, duck egg
calf (bovine) serum
beta-propiolactone
fetal bovine serum
formaldehyde
formalin
gelatin
glycerol
human diploid cells (originating from human aborted fetal tissue)
hydrolized gelatin
monosodium glutamate (MSG)
neomycin
neomycin sulfate
phenol20red indicator
phenoxyethanol (antifreeze)
potassium diphosphate
potassium monophosphate
polymyxin B
polysorbate 20
polysorbate 80
porcine (pig) pancreatic hydrolysate of casein
residual MRC5 proteins
sorbitol
sucrose
thimerosal (mercury)
tri(n)butyl phosphate e,
VERO cells, a continuous line of monkey kidney cells
washed sheep red blood cells

Would you put these things in your body???
Personally, I have put way too much harmful things in my body by the way I eat already, unfortunately, and I would rather not catch the virus, to begin with, and learn healthier ways of living. We should and can prevent getting sick by building up our immune system naturally.

How to Prevent the Flu Naturally- says Dr. Mercola

For most people the flu shot does not make you healthy; it does just the opposite, as it weakens your immune system. It appears that some of you in the medical field are beginning to catch on to this, with less than 40 percent of health care workers getting flu shots in 2006.
The truth is, if you follow a healthy lifestyle, you will not have to worry about getting the flu.

Here are a few key steps to stay flu-free:

•Get plenty of the sunshine or vitamin D

•Eat right for your nutritional type, including avoiding sugar

•Exercise

•Get adequate sleep

•Address emotional stress

•Wash your hands regularly

A healthy immune system is our best defense… along with plenty of rest, exercise and fresh air and Vitamin D, and stay active!

The following is a prophetic message via John Leary.

Jesus said: My people, medicine over the years has made some great strides in improving your life expectancy, and curing diseases that killed many people.

In today's world the desire to make money has taken over your drug industry.

Some would rather heal you JUST ENOUGH so you keep coming back to pay for more expensive pills.

Some children have even had bad effects from putting MERCURY PRESERVATIVES in vaccines (see above) so the vaccines would not have to be refrigerated.

Manipulation of DNA has also caused many bad side effects in the artificial medicines, that man makes WHICH ARE POISONS IN THE BODY.

There is a more DEVIOUS USE OF VIRUSES for the one world people, that viruses could be manipulated to affect various races or ethnic groups.

By eliminating some preferred parts of the population, they would not gain money but EASIER CONTROL over fewer people. (continued below )

Listen to the Finnish Minister of Health speak out about the make believe flu pandemic



the message continued........

The evil of the death culture is so diabolical, that the one world people would resort to any means, such as chemtrails, to kill off millions of people, while they had the vaccine for these killer viruses.

Be PREPARED AND ALERT to the drugs and viruses created by the death culture people.

BUILD UP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS WITH HAWTHORN, HERBS, AND VITAMINS.

These are a much BETTER SOURCE of keeping your health in alternative medicines, than many of man's drugs that only treat symptoms and not the cause of the problem.

It is the POISONS AND MULTIPLE INTERACTIONS, that are causing many of the side effects of your medicines, which eventually hurt your organs as the liver and the kidneys.

Jesus says to Trust in Him to give you good advice on your health, and how best to keep you from being exploited for profit. Jesus I Trust in Thee!

Mexican Swine Flu Outbreak 2009: SPECIAL REPORT by Dr. Leonard Horowitz


Hope you're all well,

The Safest diet

The safest diet is fruit, grains, and vegetables in their most natural forms.

Supplement your diet with NATURAL vitamins, minerals, and herbs. These are processed to make them pure, and nothing is added to preserve them or to enhance their flavor. By doing so, your body will receive a better-balanced nutrition to keep you in better health.

Watch too every thing you drink. Chemicals are used in water, which is the necessary ingredient for all beverages, to destroy germs and toxins. Purchase [bottled] water for human and, if possible, animal consumption. Read the label for any additives. It must be pure as possible.
And remember to bless your meals, your food, and drink, in Jesus' Name. Thank Him for all He gives you. Praise and thank Him for everything and live in His Love.

I was on Gary Null's website, and I found this. I am having a hard time finding a good vitamin and mineral supplement. Click here for more info.
