Should’ve made the point that this is only possible by having one person writing it because it’s impossible for so many different people to connect the same dots, which almost necessarily proves the Holy Spirit’s existence, and there is only one being who could be omniscient enough to be able to be so thorough which is God the father, and only one man who could have had his life lived in such a way that what is written after him connects to the Old Testament so much and he would have to be consubstantial with the omniscient father, that is Christ.

New Testament summarised while standing on one leg (please tell me somebody gets this reference)

Imagine how many in the west will fall away when actual hardship and persecution comes.

How many people won’t even watch this clip because four minutes is too long?

“There was another incident involving one gentile who came before Shammai and said to Shammai: Convert me on condition that you teach me the entire Torah while I am standing on one foot. Shammai pushed him away with the builder’s cubit in his hand. This was a common measuring stick and Shammai was a builder by trade. The same gentile came before Hillel. He converted him and said to him: That which is hateful to you do not do to another; that is the entire Torah, and the rest is its interpretation. Go study.”

If you pay attention to yourself, you will find that in the course of the day you are assailed by many temptations. Do you know to what you are most often tempted? Yet temptation is not sin; it only becomes sin when you take pleasure in it and consent to it. As often as you resist and overcome it, you gain in virtue, and merit a reward from God. When you are tempted, turn to God; pray to Jesus and Mary for help, and remember the word of God which warns you against the very sin to which you are tempted. If anger rises within you, say: “Blessed are the meek,” or else: “For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God” (James 1:20). If you are inclined to quarrel or fight, say to yourself: “Blessed are the peace-makers”; or if you are in danger of telling lies, remind yourself of the proverb: “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord” (Prov. 12:22).

25 when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; Proverbs 26:24, ESV

3 May

Irish Catholic freedom fighter Padraig Pearse was executed on this day in 1916

'I just received Holy Communion. I am happy, except for the great grief of parting from you. This is the death I should have asked if God had given me the choice of all deaths—to die a soldier’s death for Ireland and for freedom.

We have done right. People will say hard things of us now, but later on will praise us. Do not grieve for all this, but think of it as a sacrifice which God asked of me and of you. Good-bye again, dear mother. May God bless you for your great love for me and for your great faith, and may He remember all you have so bravely suffered. I hope soon to see papa, and in a little while we shall be all together again. I have not words to tell you of my love for you and how my heart yearns to you all

 I will call to you in my heart at the last moment.

Your son,

Pat'

We're so back.

Isaiah 6:8

“I heard the voice of the lord, saying,
Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, here am I; send me.”

When we are called we will be ready. In the name of Christ all who follow are compelled.
