True preachers are not so common these days so when one does arrive, it is an occasion not to be missed. In the link below, listen to Fr.Luke DeMasi, of the fairly new Servant Bothers of the Home of the Mother of All Mankind.
Temptation to sin is powerful. We mere mortals do not possess the power within ourselves to defeat the tempter’s power. This is a very troublesome reality. But, God gave us the solution.
Follow His Cross and in your everyday life you will quickly see, in real time, that everything else in your life gets put right.
Actually following Him up on to The Cross is not what He has asked us to do. We are simply asked to accept and bear the little piece of The Cross that He permits us. And what ever piece of The Cross He permits us, He also aids and assists so that we can bear it.
When you follow Him, you get to go with Him.
He warned us though, ‘watch and pray to overcome temptation’. Prayer however is not simply the recitation of words. It takes more than that simple form, because prayer includes that we;
We have of course been hoodwinked by the slimy success of Satan and his emissaries in usurping and perverting so many priests, bishops and cardinals following the dictates of Second Vatican Council. St.Pope Paul VI mentioned back then that the smoke of Satan had entered the Church. He didn’t elaborate as far as I know, but we can begin to see today just what he was probably referring to.
The big matter for many catholics and which occupies so many still paying attention is the new mass, the novus ordu, but the real sneaky little bugger that Satan smoothly snuck in sideways was the successful elimination of fasting by all.
In personal prayers we need fasting. It is absolutely essential to successfully overcome any temptation. It is the only form of prayer that acts immediately in casting the filth of temptation right back to where it came from – and Satan hates it when we do that. He hates it with a filthy, scurrilous anger and passion. He hates like no one on earth can.
Our greatest help is threefold: the rosary, fasting and alms giving. Alms giving from the heart is an awesomely powerful prayer. As St.Faustina said, ‘you will never fail at every moment to see opportunities around you to give alms because the poor are always with us’, so open your eyes, and see.
Jesus told us in clear and simple words, “love one another, to be recognised as His disciples now and on Judgement Day”.
That ‘now’ bit is ignored by so many and that is a real tragedy because now, means now. Just ponder that a while.
Regarding catholic Fasting
I believe the Jesuit order is quite disordered today. Theirs is the infamous Fr.Martin. Why Pope Francis has not excommunicated him is anyone’s guess. Is our Pope a Jesuit first and secondly; Pope?
I am aware that the Jesuit order swear a fourth vow that others do not. Its effect is negative when the order is governed by unbelievers which does seem to be the case now. This cannot end well when the Jesuits, by advocating their man Martin are effectively stating God is irrelevant.
Jesus did not become man to build a bridge between heaven and hell. Anyone actually believing such Satanic drivel is in dire trouble.
Satan’s grip on the Jesuits is becoming observable.
Disordered a few reasons.
Regarding the homosexual pervs and how they got the strangle-hold on the catholic church right to the very top.
At Fatima we were warned about this. Secret number three, no doubt.
About two months back I listened to the publicly avowed atheist Ray Darcy on his RTE1 radio show when he interviewed a woman promoting the teaching of pornography to young children under the guise of ‘sex education’. That she and he both seemed to hold nothing amiss about teaching little children adult sex matters that are corrupted and presented for perversion and cash, but calling it education, is frankly appalling in itself but, she was in earnest and he certainly gave her quite the platform to push her lunatic agenda.
What I didn’t realise was that she was talking about something that may be already in train by our perverted government here in Ireland. I state ‘perverted government’ as they continue to actively promote the killing in the womb of the innocents. I expect that the recent NewYork lunacy that legalised the killing of innocents after birth may well be soon outdone by our twisted Dáil. The same Dáil also bent Irish culture by legalising homosexual marriage. (The very same legal documentation that gave us the Flood of Noah)
Yes there was a public referendum that gave them the go-ahead but wrong is wrong and no ballot can ever make a wrong a right.
Ireland has formally told God that he is not and so, He can now feck-right-off!
This pornography lunacy now coming before us is an intent in legalising criminality with our education system the chosen conduit: for the good of children!
See and hear – slide timer back to beginning if it’s moved on
Well I made the pancakes; previous post, and discovered it does matter how much milk is used.
I put in a pint where half a’pint would have been far better. My pancakes were too thin, but I made them and ate them and they were yummy with honey!
EWTN do pancakes! I didn’t know that – So, I tried the recipe, it’s simple.
If you’ve no method of weighing your plain flour you can use a large dessert spoon and heap it full – that’ll do as your ounce measure.
I used four ounces with one large egg, and one pint of milk. That’s it! Do sieve the flour and stir in the milk, mix flour thoroughly and don’t forget the egg! Few minutes with a hand whisk will see the job done.
Your frying pan may take a dislike to the first pancake effort but, by the second pancake all will be perfect.
The receipt below also uses a smaller amount of milk but, it’s up to yourself – there are no hard and fast rules, the rules apply from Wednesday – with the ash!
