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

1. Is the U. S. trying to eradicate Christianity? It certainly seems so. So much for their "In God We Trust". How about "To the Devil we Bow"?
2. A man of God???? NOT!
3. I pray every day for an end to Muslim violence against Christians with my Rosary intentions.
After reading all these stories, it brings home the fact that the moral fabric of this world is in decay; that it is putrid and rotting. How can we expect God to be merciful when there is so much evil? How can we stay the hand of the Just Judge? Why hasn't California slid into the ocean under the weight of its iniquity? Why hasn't God struck down those who publicly degrade the priesthood? Why does He not strike countries where such evil is not only permissable but a part of the very fabric of their society? The only answer that I can find is that God permits evil so that a greater good can arise from it.Each one of us must be a part of that greater good. Pray mightily for this world that Jesus sacrificed Himself for. Above all, attend Mass; we need people to come back in droves to the Mass and offer it up for themselves and the world.
Shirley, good points. I also think that God is allowing this evil in order to punish us; you know, letting us wallow in our own sins, so to speak.
I'm not so sure that God punishes us by allowing us to wallow in sin; after all He hates sin, and does not desire it for us; His usual form of punishment for sin is a chastisement. Like wiping Sodom and Gomorrah off the face of the earth, or the great flood, which would have wiped out all humanity if it were not for the grace of Noah who found favour with God. So this should be a lesson to us, that by staying in a state of grace, and living a Godly life, we can appease God for the sins of others if we petiton Him.
I think the whole education thing is rooted in post modernist deconstruction.
as long as the church continues to teach that there is such a thing as an abosolute truth, or that there are moral absolutes, the academic passion for "deconstructing" everything will continue to look lame.
Their ideas don't compete well--so they try to silence the competition. It's like a monopoly or economic trust, except about ideas.
I don't know much about the heavy metal capuchin, but I know there are heavy metal and thrash christian band--I gues I'd have to understand the lyrics, which isn't gonna happen.
Sometimes, when confronted with what the muslims do, my repentant sinner Catholic mind comes into direct conflict with my paratrooper mind, and I experience congnitive dissonance. i.e., I have trouble deciding between a rosary and a Beowulf Carbine.
1) Education - what if catholic kids did not go to such universities? I feel sorry and pray that catholic parents have all the graces and strength to do the catholic thing for their kids. Its a tough choice bring them up as Catholic verus getting a job in the world. maybe its time to lean on the bible verses that say 'Seek first the kingdom of God and its righteouness and ll things will be added onto you' and also 'what does it profit a man if he gains the wole world and loses his soul' and 'man does not live by bread alone.....'
2) metel priest with skull tshirts in the background...i think not
