		<title>Comment on The Traditional Latin Mass Explained by tgliang</title>

		<description>To add to the already wonderful article above, my understanding that the main purpose of the Latin traditional mass is to worship God, and secondarily to receive grace from God, i.e., the community comes in second.  Worship is a higher form than merely prayer.  So in the present watered down form of the Novus Ordo, the addition to readings of the bible is not worship, rather something on par with attending a lecture.

Worshiping God has taken many forms in other societies, including animal sacrifice.  But God is above all that, and the only true acceptable worship is the traditional mass (in Latin and other rites), where God the Son's sacrifice is commemorated.

So comments like "the Novus Ordo appeals more to me than the traditional Mass" has only superficial meaning where worship (and not only prayer) is the central theme.  The central point is God for the next hour and a half in the Mass, not us.</description>

		<description>Sue,
 I have an update to this post about Padre Pio.  The friary in San Giovanni Rotondo says that since the death of Fr. Flumeri, the efforts to make Padre Pio a Doctor of the Church, and to have the stigmata declared supernatural, are on hold because all of the priests at the friary are overwhelmed with their duties and caring for the many pilgrims. 
Peace,
Frank</description>

Our Lady's Initial Message 
www.holylove.org
Requesting The Rosary of the Unborn®

Our Lady comes in white. In front of her and suspended in the air is an unusual rosary. The Our Fathers' are crosses of drops of blood. The Hail Marys' are teardrops with unborn babies inside of them. The cross is gleaming gold.

Our Lady says, "I come in praise of Jesus, My Son. I come as Prophetess of these times." "The rosary you see is heaven's way of describing to you the weapon that will overcome this evil of abortion. Heaven weeps for the cost of this great sin. The history and the future of all nations has been changed because of this atrocity against God's gift of life."

"Today, sadly, much responsibility must be placed on the laity who are consecrated to Me. I cannot depend on Church leadership to unite in an effort to vanquish the enemy through the Rosary. Even My apparitions have caused division by Satan's efforts to thwart My plans."

"So today, on My feast day, I am calling all My children to unite in My Heart. Do not allow pride to divide you according to which apparition you will follow. Become part of the Flame of My Heart. Be united in love and in the prayer weapon of My Rosary. The evil of abortion can be conquered by your efforts and through My grace."

"Propagate the image I have shown you today."

      --Oct. 7, 1997 - Feast of the Holy Rosary

Promises of The Rosary of the Unborn®
# An UNBORN CHILD WILL BE SAVED with each loving "Hail Mary" recited with this Rosary:

"I affirm to you…that each 'Hail Mary' prayed from a loving heart will rescue one of these innocent lives from death by abortion."
"This is a special grace attached to this particular rosary."
--Blessed Mother, 7/2/2001
# The Rosary of the Unborn Heals the Motherly Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary

"When you use this rosary, call to mind My Sorrowful Immaculate Heart which continually sees the sin abortion played out in every present moment. I give to you this special sacramental [must be blessed by a Catholic priest to be a sacramental] with which to heal My Motherly Heart."
--Blessed Mother, 7/2/2001
# Each "Our Father" eases the pain of the Grieving Heart of Jesus

"Please tell the world that each 'Our Father' recited on the Rosary of the Unborn assuages My grieving Heart."
--Jesus, 8/3/2001
# The Rosary of the Unborn withholds the Arm of Justice

"The greatest promise I give you in regards to this rosary is this: Every rosary prayed from the heart to its completion on these beads mitigates the punishment as yet withstanding for the sin of abortion." "Further, it withholds the Arm of Justice."
--Jesus, 8/3/2001
# The Rosary of the Unborn Appeases Our Lord

"Pray from your heart knowing that your rosary appeases Me."
--Jesus, 8/3/2001</description>

		<description>The holy souls in purgatory are in more need of our prayers than the worst sinner alive because they no longer can depend on the mercy of God , but only with His all perfect justice. Some day we hope to be so fortunate as to count ourselves among those saved by the blood of Christ. Nothing imperfect enters heaven, but our God in His infinite mercy has made a way for our perfection. Pray always for the holy souls so they may quickly see Him for which they were always destined from all creation. If you don't, who will?</description>

		<description>This article is very well done and shows the real and present danger of "walking the fence" of some how getting the " feel of sin without experiencing the sin itself". The desire is there not to sin , but the willful occassion that we place ourselves into, saying we are in control, when we are not will always over come our desire not to sin no matter how determined we might be. It's simply a matter of time. When you know the answer and don't live the answer, what do you expect in return?</description>

		<description>Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, recently posted two videos on YouTube in which he describes and demonstrates the two most common abortion procedures, using plastic fetal models, the actual instruments of abortion, and the words found in medical textbooks and court testimony.

 

You can view these videos at:  

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us_y9GP_-DA  (Dismemberment abortion)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBOAPleF1t0  (Suction abortion).

These videos are part of a new project called, "Is This What You Mean?"  It aims to educate the public about the nature of abortion and to challenge public officials and candidates who support the legality of abortion to admit what it is. A full description of the project is at www.priestsforlife.org/action/abortion-procedure-revealed.htm.

I am requesting that you post links on your blog to these two videos and/or to the full explanation of this powerful project.  

We in the pro-life community have been fed up for a long time with “public servants” who can’t seem to tell the difference between serving the public and killing the public.   This election season, it’s time for that to change. No matter what politicians or voters or Church officials are or are not going to do, it’s time that we who know what abortion is, draw a line in the sand and give candidates and office-holders alike this challenge.

If you will help spread the word by posting these links please email webmaster@priestsforlife.org.

Thank you,</description>

		<description>Loretta,
I received an email today saying that he announced on his weekly program that he has a thyroid condition which requires surgery.  It is apparently quite rare.

This was the content of the email I received:

Subject: Fw: Father Corapi update; surgery scheduled Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2008 13:38:43 -0500 

From Terry: 


I know many of you have been concerned about Father Corapi and his health.  The rumors were indeed true, but thanks to Father Corapi's Weekly wisdom program , (fathercorpi.com), he addressed the whole issue on his health in today's program (March 29th).  Realizing most of you aren't subscribers, I will give you the overview. However, should you want to watch it yourself, the quality is excellent and you can buy a month's package for $10. 

Bottom line, Father Corapi has a parathyroid tumor and will be going back to the Mayo Clinic next week for surgery.  It's a very rare (6 in 1 million men get it), tumor, which is 98% of the time, not cancerous. The good news is they ruled out lymphoma which is what they thought he had.  He goes through great detail explaining and extolling the Mayo Clinic, his tests, and our obligation to keep our bodies as healthy as we can. 

He also said for the past 7 months he was too sick to get out bed 70% of the time; intense exhaustion with flu like symptoms (a result of the excess calcium this type of tumor causes, in addition to osteoporosis). Surgery is the only cure. 

As you might suspect, he turned his experience into a redemptive suffering lecture, reminding us that God's true power comes via our weakness.  He also touched on what I've seen more and more recently especially among strong Catholics close to Mary and who offer their sufferings and that is the obvious; how much the world right now needs the help of redemption from the souls willing and able to offer it back to Christ via Mary, united to the cross.  I'm sure most of us figured out it was pretty obvious that God needed Father Corapi's suffering especially during Holy Week. 

He talked in fairly great detail about his week of tests; including the anxiety for his family, about maybe "checking out", i.e., having cancer, etc. In his forever wit, he joked about the benefit and happiness of dying (except for the pain to his family), rather than having to endure and see the face of a "certain" next US President.  He quite seriously said death would be better than having to endure the next likely president for four years..  Yikes! 

Anyway, please spread the world to keep Father C in your prayers.  His favorite prayer is the Memorare, which is what he asked be prayed for him when he was first admitted to the Mayo Clinic. 

He wrapped up his segment with the profound words from his thesis on redemptive suffering: 

To be set at the foot of the cross is to be set at the pinnacle of all human possibilities.</description>
