On top of z colon

Yesterday a lady at the health food store told me I could use ground flax seed for fibre . It was a perfect solution because I had a whole bag of flax seed that I didn't know what to do with .

Incidentally, I needed a lot of fibre if I was going to use this Ancient Aztec secret to clean my colon.

Bentonite clay is used as a healing clay mask but I never knew you could take it internally . Apparently the clay is supposed to grab the toxins out of your colon.
So I bought a coffee grinder to grind up my flax seeds with and am taking 1 tablespoon of ground flax with a tablespoon of liquid bentonite clay with some water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach . Go me :)

The Crowning of Thorns

A meditation of the Sorrowful mysteries of the Rosary. 

Jesus is Crowned with a Woven Crown of Thorns. John 19:1-12

The soldiers began mocking Him saying: 'where are your friends mustering while their king is with us' 'are all Jews as treacherous as these ones? behold their king!' and they crowned Him with a woven crown of thorns. Jesus listened to their insults with such hatred and mockery in their voices, augmenting His cup . They continued 'where are your Jews to hail you, You ARE king are you not? can you mimic one? laugh! do not cry, you are king are you not, behave like one then...' TLIG-(9.11.86)

Praying with Mary

hen we contemplate Jesus, and pray to God the best way to do so is through Mary . When we pray the Hail Mary , we should pray it slowly, and with the heart ; heartfelt in other words, meaning every word we say , so God can feel you, because HE IS ALIVE and the minute His name is uttered or intonated, His ear is stuck on your lips.

The bible teaches us lip service is vain repetition and not good . It isn't the persevering and persistant prayer that is vain but praying with the lips only and not with the heart. Jesus prayed three times the same thing but each time he said the same prayer it was more deeper and heartfelt, so ours must be.

The name of Jesus is powerful and the word is sharper than a two-edged sword , capable of driving evil spirits away so repeating His Name over and over isn't vain repetition unless we are saying it only with our lips . We must believe He exists and believe with the heart . It is the heart where all kinds of evil comes from and it is the heart where Jesus Our Lord wants to live . Yes we have to invite Him in to our hearts . I think of the prayers of the rosary sometimes as a cleansing of all the bad stuff inside us along with the help and aid of the Holy Spirit of course but you have to invoke the Holy Spirit in your prayers also.

W♥W- Eyelashes

We Heart Wednesday is about sharing what you love . You must use pictures from we♥it.com though.
I ♥ eyelashes. Although I don't have long and lush eyelashes I have always used mascara to make them look longer and fuller. I don't think I would buy fancy shmancy eyelashes like in some of these pics but I have contemplated using regular false eyelashes just 'cuz I can . I once used a pair of false eyelashes for halloween . I was dressed up as a black nymph .

Ultrasounds and the Unborn

For me, getting an Ultrasound was just a painless and safe way to get a 'free' picture of your unborn baby. Well , other than having a full bladder , which was pretty brutal :p
Here is an ultrasound of my unborn baby , Bailey .

Obstetric Ultrasound started in Glasgow at the University Department of Midwifery under Professor Ian Donald about 55 years ago. A rather crazy experiment at that time.
Suffice it to say it's come a long way since the first diasonograph in 1963

Ultrasound has quickly become the single most important diagnostic investigation in the field of Obstetrics and the healthcare for women.

You can find out more of the history of the ultrasound here. Here is also a comprehensive guide to Obstetric ultrasound

See what some people have done to their Ultrasound pictures!

Before I even knew that 'catholic' meant being pro-life , I had an abortion . The name of the unborn child would have been Spencer and it was after having my second child. Circumstances surrounding my abortion had a lot to do with making my decision at that time and I obviously wasn't practicing my faith . I wasn't even aware of it being a no-no so to speak. If I had known what I know now ? I would have never had one.
I had left my abusive husband , and was staying at a shelter for women in Vancouver . I also came down with a severe flu and cold and sore throat , and my 11 month old was suffering from it as well . It was there that I found out I was pregnant for the 3rd time. The counsellors and social workers at the shelter told me the only way to get rid of the bad cold I  had,  was to have an abortion :/  Dumb eh? well needless to say it was so desireable. I just wanted to feel better. Looking back , it seemed like a totally diabolical scheme and it's possible the people who were suppose to be helpful were being used by satan .

Anyway, there is a book I would like to mention.  It's called Angel in the Waters. 

Protect the Unborn .  Don't let them be a target of abortion . Listen to Rebecca Kiesling tell her story. Listen to this video  "Mama, I want to live"

In case U are wondering, this has been a letter 'U' edition of Alphabe Thursday.

The supreme act of love is to accept The Cross of Christ. This Cross is the Tree that gives life; through it we cross from the valley of death into the Beatific Vision.

This is an awesome video for Lent . It reminded me so much of my meditation on the 4th sorrowful mystery of the rosary today .
