QOTD feast day of Blessed Margaret Pole

For traitors on the block should die;



I am no traitor, no, not I!


My faithfulness stands fast and so,


Towards the block I shall not go!


Nor make one step, as you shall see;


Christ in Thy Mercy, save Thou me!

-  Blessed Margaret Pole



The Tudors episode where Margaret Pole and her young grandson are held in the Tower of London and where she is dragged off to be executed. 

Check out this very excellent post on Margaret Pole at   http://supremacyandsurvival.blogspot.com/2010/05/blessed-margaret-pole-last-plantagenet.html

I think maybe if we are called to by martyred we are not to cooperate with our persecuters. To always protest against injustice and lies.

Today is her 'Feast Day"  so consider a  prayer for those who are being persecuted for living their faith.


Check out this book  Romans 13 the meaning of submission http://www.amazon.com/ROMANS-13-TRUE-MEANING-SUBMISSION/dp/146287018X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332504895&sr=8-1



Here's Uncle Alex way back talking to a caller about Romans 13



Here he is recently talking to Chuck Baldwin author of the above book:







God Bless you!

Cure d'Ars Prayer Group Calls for a Novena for Priests

Starting tomorrow, May 18, join us in praying the Novena for Priests for Pentecost.
http://www.cureprayergroup.org/d65.htm


"As they cry out with all the faithful, "Abba, Father!" may Your priests be ever more closely identified with You in Your divine Sonship and offer their own lives with You, the one saving Victim.


Make them helpful brothers of one another, and understanding fathers of all Your people.


On this Pentecost Sunday, renew in Your priests deeper faith, greater trust in You, childlike reliance on our Mother Mary, and unwavering fidelity to the Holy Father and his bishops.


Holy Mary, intercede for your priests.


St. Joseph, protect them.

St. Michael, defend them.

St. John Vianney, pray for them.

Amen



In Christ,

Valérie Pajerski"




Keep your dear Parish Priest in your prayers and consider adding a couple who are under tremendous stress like Fr. Pavone.

I jumped the gun...

or was it a shark?

I'm staying put although I DO have a wordpress blog ready to go and I'll use it if Blogger keeps up the nonsense.


Besides how will you all find me?  I have THE  best people stop by from time to time and I'm not so sure you'll stop by my new digs...

BTW this makes my 1000th post.


A bit of  a let down unless I end it right:


Our Father

Last public post 36 hours I'm off Blogger!

May God Bless you All!

Because Blogger has continued to mess around with settings and 'updates' I've discovered I've got better things to do with my time.  I'll still have an account, I'll still post comments, but because I'm losing interest in posting on a format that is becoming schizoid. I'll quit posting to Blogger in 36 hours.


If I change my mind, I'll start a new blog. 

This one will over in 36 hours and I'll be moving my family memories to my pc.  Probably the bulk of this will be trashed.


-----------------------------

TH2 suggested moving to Wordpress.  Now, that might be a solution
 to my frustration with Blogger.

Thank you TH2!

So I'll consider moving over there for now.

What does the Occupy Movement have in common with Capuchins?

No, not these Capuchins: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Friars_Minor_Capuchin

St Joseph the Worker

My favorite Saint was given an extra feast day back in 1955 to remind the world that True workers have an advocate in Christ and not Socialism or her sister Communisim. 



BTW be aware that the grapevine is loaded with Occupy Wall Street 'activities' tied to today.  http://occupywallst.org/article/may-day-checklist/

Here's some more favorite observations on today's feast day: http://abbey-roads.blogspot.com/2012/05/st-joseph-worker.html
