My favorite 2010 Blog posts

January
 Submit Not to Allah. Yes I'm against Islamization of christian nations. I saw someones myspace signature today that said

"When I swear in Muslim, I always say MuhamMAD" *Lulz

February
This 'Raw Food vs Fast Food' was a big inspiration for me to want to live a raw food lifestyle . I watched all of the supersize me videos by Morgan Spurlock and Jenna Norwoods Supercharge Me videos. She is awesome . The other guy , Markus, Rothkranz , is just super cute and sexy and I'd go raw for him *swoons* lol

I don't usually make resolutions but I am going to continue to add more greens in my diet by drinking green smoothies , and hope to live healthier in 2011. I know I probably will fall off the bandwagon , now and again , but that is why we need a lot of support and being a member of the awesome rawsome meetup is how I intend to stay connected or plugged in .

March
This was my favorite 101 wednesday post . "Brothers" of Jesus?  *sigh* It was fun

April
We witnessed the medias lambast of the priest scandals and the rise in muslim anger over everybody draw mohammed day.
I posted a documentary about Fr.Oliver O'Grady a pedophile priest.

May
This was in memory of a regular forum myspace member . Today Ron aka squarecircle killed himself. In one of his threads , which has since been deleted, he said "this is it. if i reply after this post... i failed." - RIP squarecircle 3.5 There was a dedication thread but the moderators shut it down or deleted it too. So sad.

June
That co-habitation impedes marriage was clear and I had a decision to make because heaven is worth more to me than anything and anyone, so Phil moved out in October this year. God bless his heart ♥

July
The only post I made was this video . Mary in a nutshell . Beautiful and inspiring.

August
I confessed to having been involved in multi-level marketing. Because I never made a dime in MLM I also put a donation button up but decided against it . I do support catholic bloggers from time to time , just not regularly , because there are so many . I should probably think about donating $$ every month to some random catholic blogger. Wouldn't that be fun? Do you think I should put up a paypal button? I hardly get comments for heaven's sakes much less anyone's charity although I don't mind being a charity case :p. I like winning contests . I've won a few things since I put up a blog . Recently I won a 6 month membership to menu of the week.com and a book that is in the mail . I can't wait to see it !

September
The highlight of this month was the Popes visit to London and the beatification of John Henri Newman.
I stayed up watching it all live on the internet . Alphabe Thursday also started again with the letter A for airplane arriving at the airport but my favorite and fun blog post this month was about Tammi of Nazareth LOL "Before the Bra was Invented" It was for alphabe thursday and the letter B

October
Halloween was fun . I loved my halloween template and watched the movie Trick'r'treat for the first time. The cryptkeepers halloween blogs made it fun too.

November
I started a meme called Catholicism 101 and for me it's kind of scary to be a leader so 'Let's be like these Geese' I had more fun when I was a participant in 101 wednesdays which is where the idea came from. I'm disappointed so far hardly anyone is participating . I don't know if I should continue . should I?

December
I got a new printer before Christmas and I love it . Don't forget the USB cables !

Anyway .....-Ellen Degeneres. 

I'm linked to Alphabe Thursday New Years edition. A meme where you get to meet other fabulous bloggers. *sighs

Something to think and pray about this week

brought to you by Sacred Space

If Jesus were to appear in our world, he would be born unnoticed, to a good, struggling family in Ecuador, Uzbekistan or some place usually out of the news. People would be puzzled, "Where is that place?" He would not be on television, nor would he occupy a centre of power or wealth. He would be pushed around, slandered and criticised. He would speak simple truths and some would listen to him and recognise the voice of God. The good news would spread slowly, as it did two thousand years ago. It would graft onto whatever was good in the world. The brokers of power and wealth would not notice it, nor offer their sponsorship. The happy irony of today is that after the first two thousand years, the good news is so widespread that, whether they know it or not, the whole human race is richer for Jesus' birthday.

Here's something else to think about:

God has often forgiven sinners, but He never forgives sin. - Arthur Pink

Choose your Saint for 2011!

Jennifer Fulwiler of Conversion Diary created a Saints Name Generator . I think it is very useful .You can use it to choose a saint's name at random and perhaps get to know more about him/her for the next year as well as make him/her your "holy protector". Apparently there is a custom/devotion of choosing a saint for the year It also gives you more information about that particular saint .

I also heard about the idea on  Mary TV . Only they list off a bunch of saints and you are supposed to just pick one . If you are indecisive like me ,it can be too hard to choose one.

saint Anthony the Abbot

The Saint it chose for me was St. Anthony the Abbot .
Feast: January 17
Patronage: Against Skin Diseases; Amputees; Animals; Butchers; Domestic Animals; Epileptics; Graveyards; Hermits; Monks

I've never heard of him before , but from what I read , he's very cool. He lived to be about 105 years old! He would be someone that I would've liked to meet in real life most definitely . His feast day is also coming up very soon . Here's a bit more about him :

Saint Antony (251-356), the Patriarch of all monks was born at Coma in upper Egypt, at the age of twenty he gave away his property which was considerable, to the poor and lived as a hermit near his native place. About the year 305 he established a community at Fayum and another shortly after at Pispir. Thus he was the first to establish the religious life as we know it today, by gathering together large groups of hermits into loose communities. Soon he became famous throughout Egypt and beyond, and was in great demand as an advisor by people of every rank. He was a personal friend of Saint Athanasius and his staunch supporter against the Arians, whom he arraigned as heretics in a public sermon preached at Alexandria at the invitation of Athanasius, when he was ninety years old. Athanasius himself became St. Antony's biographer. St Antony died in his hermitage on Mt. Kolzim, near the Red Sea. In art he is frequently shown with a T-shaped cross and a pig. The latter, perhaps originally the symbol of evil, became associated with a privilege of the Hospital Brothers of St. Antony founded in the 17th century. St Antony's fire was apparently and epidemic form of erysipelas against which the saint's intercession was invoked.

A Raw Recipe

Banana Pancakes

By Shayla Roberts

This one takes a little planning because they are dehydrated.  However, it is SO worth the effort...you can make HUGE batches of pancakes to use up those "over-ripe" bargain bananas!

Ingredients:

2 cups flax seeds, whole, soaked for a few hours

3-4 (or more) bananas

1/2 cup walnuts

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup liquid sweetner of your choice (I choose agave)

Juice of 1 lemon

Directions:

Process the heck out of this in a food processor, drop by the tablespoonful onto teflex sheets, press flat (to about 1/4-3/8 inch).  Dehydrate on 105 degrees for 2 hours, peel them up and flip them onto mesh screens for another 2-3 hours.  Don't over-dry these!

You can serve these with agave nectar for syrup, along with a few banana slices to pretty them up.  You can also use some Frontier brand alcohol-free Maple extract to flavor your agave, to give it that authentic "maple syrup" taste.

The Popes Christmas Message

URBI ET ORBI MESSAGE- CHRISTMAS 2010

I had to look up what the Latin phrase meant: "urbi et orbi" for those who may not know, literally means "to the city and to the world." It has come to be used as the name for a specific type of blessing given by the pope on particularly solemn occasions. What it means is that the "urbi et orbi" address or blessing is not directly simply at the city of Rome and the people present, but rather to the entire Roman Catholic world, wherever the individuals may be.

Grace and Freedom Meet

Upon reading the Pope's Homily for Christmas Eve, I understand the correct interpretation for 'Peace on Earth and Goodwill towards men " and "Peace to men of Goodwill' are to be both taken together .

You can't have one interpretation without the other, cause it's BOTH. There is a slight difference .

That was one question I asked the priest at my parish . Which one is the correct interpretation? Cause I heard the protestant mostly say "Peace on Earth goodwill to men' and I've always heard it the other way.

To quote from the sermon of Pope Benedict XVI the part relating to this :

 The Latin translation of the angels’ song that we use in the liturgy, taken from Saint Jerome, is slightly different: “peace to men of good will”. The expression “men of good will” has become an important part of the Church’s vocabulary in recent decades. But which is the correct translation? We must read both texts together; only in this way do we truly understand the angels’ song. It would be a false interpretation to see this exclusively as the action of God, as if he had not called man to a free response of love. But it would be equally mistaken to adopt a moralizing interpretation as if man were so to speak able to redeem himself by his good will. Both elements belong together: grace and freedom, God’s prior love for us, without which we could not love him, and the response that he awaits from us, the response that he asks for so palpably through the birth of his son. We cannot divide up into independent entities the interplay of grace and freedom, or the interplay of call and response. The two are inseparably woven together. So this part of the angels’ message is both promise and call at the same time. God has anticipated us with the gift of his Son. God anticipates us again and again in unexpected ways. He does not cease to search for us, to raise us up as often as we might need. He does not abandon the lost sheep in the wilderness into which it had strayed. God does not allow himself to be confounded by our sin. Again and again he begins afresh with us. But he is still waiting for us to join him in love. He loves us, so that we too may become people who love, so that there may be peace on earth.

The Cat Carol

I've never heard this carol before . It's not my favorite Christmas Carol perhaps because I don't like cats that much but if you do , it might be the saddest carol you've ever heard . I like the lyrics but not a fan of the music.  If you like it , and want to get the CD or a mug or some other useless memento please visit The Cat Carol website.

Poinsettias and the Twelve Days of Christmas

Poinsettias, a native Mexican plant, is named after Joel R. Poinsett, U.S. ambassador to Mexico who brought the plant to America in 1828. Poinsettias were likely used by Mexican Franciscans in their 17th century Christmas celebrations. One legend has it that a young Mexican boy, on his way to visit the village Nativity scene, realized he had no gift for the Christ child. He gathered pretty green branches from along the road and brought them to the church. Though the other children mocked him, when the leaves were laid at the manger, a beautiful star-shaped flower appeared on each branch. The bright red petals, often mistaken for flowers, are actually the upper leaves of the plant.

Twelve day of Christmas Song - History interprets the origin and popularity of a French song entitled ‘Twelve days of Christmas'. Actually it was a catechism song containing codes. During the mid 16th Century to the early 17th century Catholics were forbidden to practice their faith. The song was composed to teach Christianity to the children.

The twelve days are the days between the birth of Christ (Christmas, December 25) and the coming of the Magi (Epiphany, January 6). In the twelve days twelve gifts are presented by "my true love". True Love indicates God. The gifts offered respectively on the 12 days had specific meanings.

1st day - A Partridge in a Pear Tree symbolized Jesus Christ.
2nd day - Two Turtle doves signified Old and New Testaments.
3rd day - Three French hens signified Faith, Hope and Charity.
4th day - Four calling birds represented the four gospels or the four Evangelists.
5th day – Five gold rings referred to the first five books of the Old Testament.
6th day - Six Geese A-laying symbolized six days of creation.
7th day - Seven Swans A- swimming signified seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.
8th day - Eight Maids A- milking referred to the eight beatitudes.
9th day - Nine ladies dancing symbolized the nine fruit of the Holy Spirit.
10th day - Ten Lords A – leaping symbolized the Ten Commandments.
11th day - Eleven Pipers piping symbolized the eleven faithful apostles.
12th day - Twelve Drummers Drumming referred to the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle's Creed.

May you have a wonderful Christmas filled with all your wishes and God’s Blessings!

My First Communion

I made my first communion at Christmas time many years ago. We lived in Algiers and I remember wearing a white communion dress my mother made. She got us to memorize the Act of Contrition too. I can remember reciting it and practicing it in front of my mother and trying to mean every word I said but I didn't know what I had ever done wrong so it wasn't that I felt any remorse. I think rather I had great expectations.

In preparing for my first communion I was invited by the priest to go up near the crib to just say hello and talk to Jesus but I don't think I fully grasped the meaning of it all, even though I knew I was about to receive him in my heart that Christmas. I was supposed to invite him in my heart and I didn't know or love him as I ought to have because I had no words to say. I was totally inadequate , like a filthy rag, but through it all I trusted and hoped He would show me how to Love him .

Looking back, I should have asked Jesus' Mother and Our Mother for help . After all she was in the manger too, as was Joseph and the shepherds . Lol , Oh well better late than never. She certainly does lead us to her Son. She is the Queen of Heaven. Besides, Faith and Love are virtues and GREAT GIFTS OF GRACE that need to grow. Nevertheless, I felt really secure knowing that God loved me , after all we belong to Him.

Even so, the Catholic Church has always felt like home to me. Home is where the heart is and the Heart of the Church is the Holy Spirit.

That year Jesus was born in me. It was an extra special and memorable Christmas for me and my sister that I will cherish forever .

“Jesus, thank you for setting me free and shining your light into my life. Teach me how to have it to the full.”


Here is the Act of Contrition that I memorized for my First Communion and I always say it this way .

O My God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You.
because of my sins, I deserve the pains of hell
but most of all because they have offended you O God
who art all good and deserving of all my Love.
I firmly resolve with the help of Your Grace
To confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life.
Amen

Fourth Sunday of Advent

We should never sit in the house of God as strangers. Did you remember to say hello to someone today?- this was taken from our church bulletin today .


Over at True Confessions of a Prodigal Daughter , you can join her facebook page on 'One thing I learned at Mass ' . It was an idea Matthew Kelly suggested every catholic do; keep a journal.

Anyway what I learned at Mass today is Joseph and Ahaz both had direct lines to God but Ahaz (Isaiah 7.10-14) didn't obey, while Joseph did (Matthew 1.18-24) . I never knew what these two readings had in common or what the significance of them being read together were and I learnt something today :)  Joseph had an angel and Ahaz had the prophet Isaiah . If we had a direct line to God would we listen ? I assume that direct line now is Jesus Christ. Do we listen to Jesus ?

Listen to Matthew Kelly talk on the 3rd pillar of catholic spirituality.

First Karaoke Christmas video!

Ok well we aren't the mormon Tabernacle choir and I probably could have used some back up singers lol . I screwed this song up big time . This was done 2 years ago while we were at the Zoo Lights.

They had a karaoke booth I thought would be fun to do as we got our download to add to our myspace or facebook page after a couple days for FREE. Last year we went again but the booth wasn't operating . I was pretty disappointed about that. Ever since Phil and I met , the Zoo has been a big part of our christmas tradition and we like to go every year. We are planning to go this weekend to see the christmas lights at the Zoo again. I hope they still have the FREE karaoke christmas video tent . But anyway , Phil was suffering from a cold and he apparently needed to sneeze , he said. lol . It's not easy singing acapella on the First Noel . I couldn't hear the music and when I did , I was way off Lol . you try it lol



Merry Christmas !

Here's a decent rendering

Nunchuks

Jonah block

Listen to this vortex episode called Angry Nuns .



It's an eye opener . If you don't think Michael Voris is telling the truth then how come we read things such as in this article on Spirit daily

On September 19, 1846, the Blessed Mother allegedly told a French shepherd girl named Melanie Calvat at LaSalette (in what seemed like unusually harsh language) that "the Vicar of my Son will suffer a great deal, because for a while the Church will yield to large persecution, a time of darkness, and the Church will witness a frightful crisis." "The chiefs, the leaders of the people of God, have neglected prayer and penance, and the devil has bedimmed their intelligence," it added. Nuns, it warned, would allow "Asmodeas" (a demon some associate with the New Age) into convents. The devil, said part of the alleged LaSalette secret, "will resort to all his evil tricks to introduce sinners into religious orders." "The priests, by their wicked lives, by their irreverence and impiety in the celebration of the holy mysteries, by their love of money, honors, and pleasures, have become cesspools of impurity."
