“Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”
The world heard you, courageous people of Poland, even though the international media stubbornly pretended not to.
“Thousands of Polish Catholics formed human chains on the country’s borders Saturday, begging God “to save Poland and the world” in an event many viewed as a spiritual weapon against the “Islamisation” of Europe.” (AFP, Oct. 7, 2017)
And Poland qualified for the WC today, so that’s a good sign. ;)
Forgive them, Father, they know not what they're doing. I'll pray for the same thing to Jesus, though.
So God’s mother is not in heaven?
Or are you saying that her Son forbids his mother to have knowledge of the affairs of Earth?
Didn't say that.
Or are you saying that her Son forbids his mother to have knowledge of the affairs of Earth?
Are you saying Jesus has no knowledge of the affairs of Earth?
Is it just a weather phenomenon or ...?
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Between Poland and Ukraine (an accident? I doubt!)
Over the Baltic Sea
In the middle of the country
Southern Poland
Whatever one’s view of Mary, it’s for sure that our Father in heaven heard the petitions of these beautiful, ardent souls, they are His own, after all.
Bless them for believing.
Definitely. There has been a deafening silence from official Catholic sources. In their new Francis-Church mode, they’re completely freaked out by anything that even hints at Christianity. So congrats to the brave Poles!
Even the most liberal media in Poland estimate the participants for more than 1 million.
POLAND; October 7, 2017
What? Did Jesus tell you He locked up His mother in an isolation unit?
How in the world would you know what the blessed in heaven can or cannot do? Do you really think that in heaven you’ll be held incommunicado, and your capacities will be inferior to what they are here on earth?
As it is written, “Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, nor have entered into the heart of man to imagine, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Don’t sell Him short. He does what we cannot even conceive for His blessed ones in heaven.
I’d bet my right arm up to the shoulder that Mary hears better from her present vantage point, than we do from ours..
Great pics!
And congrats on qualifying for Russia, though they had to make it a bit interesting before finally closing it out.
Why would you say that? Mary hears just fine.
I don’t even know how to grasp the fact that Protestants don’t understand the churches relationship with Mary,the daughter of the Father, the mother of Jesus, and the spouse of the Holy Spirit. How do you not see the family aspect, just as in your own family. It’s not one or the other, it’s all encompassing.
Mary does not replace Jesus, no one can. Mary leads you to a deeper love of Jesus. She never wants glory for herself, she always points back to Jesus.
I would back off the Blessed Mother, she is His mother after all. How exactly would you feel if it was your mother being put down.
The Battle of Lepanto
"On October 7, 1571, a patchwork fleet of Catholic ships primarily from Spain, Venice and Genoa, under the command of Don Juan of Austria, was at a distinct disadvantage. The much larger fleet of the Ottoman Empire—a force with 12,000 to 15,000 Christian slaves as rowers—was extending toward Europe."
"However, St. Pope Pius V, realizing that the Muslim Turks had a decided material advantage, called upon all of Europe to pray the Rosary for victory. Christians gathered in villages and towns to pray as the sea battle raged; and at the hour of victory the pope—who was hundreds of miles away at the Vatican—is said to have gotten up from a meeting, walked over to an open window exclaiming “The Christian fleet is victorious!” and shed tears of joy and thanksgiving to God."
Jesus has knowledge of the affairs of Earth.
Now answer my questions.
I am Baptist. That said, I am convinced that Lepanto was won due to those praying on the ships facing the Moslem Turks. And God honored those prayers.
Let me seeee. Re-reading my post. Re-reading, re-reading, re-reading. Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm. Yep. Nope. Didnt' say that. You must've gotten my post mixed up with someone else's. That's okay. These things happen. Espcially as we get older. No need to apologize. I forgive you.
How in the world would you know what the blessed in heaven can or cannot do? Do you really think that in heaven you’ll be held incommunicado, and your capacities will be inferior to what they are here on earth?
Maybe not "inferior", but certainly different. But, then, you can't say for sure, either.
As it is written, “Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, nor have entered into the heart of man to imagine, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
As it also written, "I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life, Nobody Comes To The Father Except Through Me" (John.14:6)
Don’t sell Him short.
Whoa. I'm not the one who said that, He is.
He does what we cannot even conceive for His blessed ones in heaven.
Amen to that.
I’d bet my right arm up to the shoulder that Mary hears better from her present vantage point, than we do from ours..
You're on. I'll collect when we see each other there.
Mary was and is the very first Christian.
God bless Polish people, they withstood communism and now they are leading against Muslim invasion.
May God give the strength and wisdom to Americans to wake up and return to God. Too much drifting away from the Truth!
Maybe Hurricanes and disasters are wake up calls in time to conquer the filth. Let’s pray all together and bring some rainbows to US!
God! I love the Polish people...
