You're welcome Petronski.Sorry that you have trouble reading the bold print.I usually do that for long posts and my eyes are not what they used to be!(smile)

[Lady In Blue]

Thank you for reminding us.It's kind of hard not to respond in kind so the best thing to do is just to ignore them.

[Lady In Blue]

I've heard about that film.I've never had the chance to see it.Is it really good? Would "Blockbuster" have it? Thanks.

[Lady In Blue]

A beautiful reading!Thanks for posting it.

[Lady In Blue]

"I wish we could develop a repellent spray to keep the 'biblical Christian evangelists' from dropping in to tell us how pagan we are. "

I wasn't going to say anything. Really, I wasn't, but this is a taunt. This is like little girls thumbing their noses at the little boys. And then the little boys have to stick the little girl's pigtails into the inkwell. Do you little girls want your pigtails pushed into the inkwell now or later?

[Petronski]

but this is a taunt.

Boy, when you said that was a taunt, you weren't kidding? Little girls? Bwa ha ha ha ha ha

[Lady In Blue]

You're welcome.

"Boy, when you said that was a taunt, you weren't kidding? Little girls? Bwa ha ha ha ha ha"

They are huddling together now trying to figure out how to keep away from the inkwell.

That's a good term. I'll definitely use it in the future.

I have looked there, and on reel.com, and several other places.

Have not been able to locate it, but that was several months ago.

Come to think of it, however, I'm thinking the movie may be of Theresa of Lisieux;

At any rate, it is worth seeing.

[Lady In Blue]

I thought so too.Everytime I come across someone like that,it's the first thing that comes to mind! lol!

[Lady In Blue]

Thanks.I'll look for it at "Blockbuster".

Such a great and remarkable saint. Teresa of Avila, who looked for God "amidst the pots and pans" of her daily work, also had a series of remarkable supernatural experiences. My favorite is the following.

One afternoon, St. Teresa saw a small boy playing in the cloister. Wondering how the child could have gotten into the monastery, she approached the boy. The boy turned to her and asked, "What's your name?" She replied, "I am Teresa of Jesus." St. Teresa then asked, "What is your name?" The child's reply:

"I am Jesus of Teresa."

[Lady In Blue]

Thank you,Squire.I don't think I've heard of that mystical experience! How beautiful!

[Squire]

The article makes reference to the fact that St. Teresa of Avila, St. Ignatius of Loyola, and St. Philip Neri were all canonized the same day at the same ceremony. What an amazing celebration in heaven (and on earth) that must have been.

Bump for St.Teresa and her friend, the magnificent John of the Cross, from an evangelical protestant.

[Taliesan]

Wasn't it Teresa who was weeping in prayer one day from her great trials, when Jesus appeared and said "My child, why are you weeping? Don't you know I treat all my friands this way?"

To which Teresa responded "Then it is no wonder you have so few."

[Taliesan]

friends, too.
