About Me
- paramedicgirl
- A paramedic who loves her job, but first and foremost, a traditional Catholic who recognizes the tremendous grace and privilege of belonging to the Catholic faith. And yes, I use Canadian spelling. Humour, centre, colour and such. If you think it's spelled wrong, it's just the Canadian way!
In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph
Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.

O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

Consecrated Hands
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

that is absolutely outrageous! I'll bet our Pope will have something to say about that.
In 1998, Mother Angelica read on-air a letter from our friend, Cardinal Mahony, that had some less-than-orthodox statements re the Real Presence and the "community" at "worship" (sorry, I don't recall the name of the document). Anyway, after reading one particularly vexatious paragraph, Mother acknowledged, "If I were living in that archdiocese, I'm afraid my obedience factor would be about zero." Mahony al, but declared war on her after that and Foley became bishop of Birmingham. Perhaps things will change with the new bishop.
If the Pope has something to say about this, I would bet that we will never hear about it.
Bishops have to be extremely outrageous, or controversial (as in the case of Cardinal Law or Archbishop Weakland) for Rome to take action.
Ah, dhimmitude has hit the Church.
I? Will not submit.
And the Holy Father so needs to give this guy a whacking.
i read this over at Catholic Answers. i simply stated that i call God, heavenly Father, Eternal Father, Almighty God, and God. iam not comfortable calling Him allah. i wont do it. its not His name.
be aware that "God" is not his name either, and that "Allah" is only Arabic for "God." Arabic bibles use the term "Allah."
Perhaps we should pray with the Dutch word for "God" on behalf of this confused bishop...
Mark, if we were to use the word "Allah" to appease the Muslims, we would be subscribing to their heresy of not believing in the Trinity.
I agree the bishop is confused. There are too many confused bishops leading people into heresy these days.
I agree with you paramedicgirl.
This subject happened to be on talk radio (fm107.1) in Mpls this morning. The host(who's also an ordained Episcopalian minister) was okay with worshippers using "Allah" if it meant that everyone in the world will get along more peacefully. He also cited exactly what Mark said about "Allah" being used in the early bible well before the term "God" was used. The host suggested that we in the US are most likely too independent-minded and unbending to ever try replacing the word "God" with the word "Allah".
