Thank you.
Tomorrow we will be going to Mass for the Holy Day, and start the year off right.
Amen to that!
And thank you for these very beautiful pictures!
William Holman Hunt. The Finding of the Saviour in the Temple. 1854-60. Oil on canvas, 33 3/4 x 55 l/2 in. Birmingham City Museums and Art Gallery.
Joyful Mysteries are now completed.
Hope all enjoy.
Outstanding! Thanks again!
And now Mary disappears in all the mysteries of the Rosary until she is mentioned in the last two Glorious Mysteries.
They (the Mysteries of the Rosary) all center on the life of Christ — Luminous, Passion of Christ — Sorrowful and Glorious — Resurrection of Christ.
He increases and she decreases!
NOT AT ALL--MUCH MORE the opposite from all the RC UNBiblical propaganda I read hereon.
I was just wondering . . . if we listed all the names of all the RC churches in the world . . . What percentage would be named after Mary and what percentage would be named after Jesus?
Seems to me RC's are rather affronted that Jesus was getting too much acclaim in Christendom and have been working diligently for 1,500 years or so trying to redress the imbalance!
I wonder how many songs have been written TO Mary vs TO Jesus in the RC edifice.
How many RC coloring books for children have been created about Mary vs about Jesus?
What percentage of the Christian doodads in the Vatican shops have something to do with Mary vs something to do with Jesus exclusively? I don't recall as I wasn't so keenly aware of the disparity when I was there.
How many postage stamps have been essentially and primarily about Mary vs essentially and primarily about Jesus?
How many souvenir post cards have had to do primarily with Mary vs primarily with Jesus?
And how many threads and lines of posting from the RC camp, have had to do primarily with Mary on FR vs primarily about Jesus on FR?
I think I know the answer for at least some of those. And I don't think Mary or Jesus are well pleased and certainly not The Father.
This artwork is beautiful! Thank you! I’m looking forward to Mass in the morning. It’s one of my favorite Holy Days. :o)
Thanks. Have a blessed New Year!
What’s with the European girl standing on the heads of babies?
Mark Shea puts this quite well. Worth pondering.
If she loves him, she just might love those who are in him as her own and pray they will love her son with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. Likewise, if Jesus loves her in a unique way and we are to be like him . . . well, you can work that one out.
