Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary. Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy.
Oh my Lord Jesus, forgive us all our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, and lead all souls to Glory, especially those in greatest need of Thy mercy. Amen.
The First Glorious Mystery:
The Resurrection
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen

Yep to you.
You said the Saints are with God and God is with us and so the saints are with us to
I asked for your source on that belief and if they, like God are omnipresent.
If you do not have a credible answer I understand.
Now I will go look at post 423
He may not be here when you get back.
Salvation has invoked his magic incantations. These create a zomby-like state in RCC members. They begin muttering the same words over and over, and continue for quite some time before the spell wears off. If they have them, they fumble with magic beads; if they don’t have magic beads, their fingers suffice.
I have no problem admitting that I came off a little hard but I have gotten angry today. Anger is not a sin but what you do with it is and I’m sorry if what I said hurt you or any other non-Catholic. I purposely didn’t name names while voicing my dismay that others feel that they must heap derision on Catholics. Tell me, do you somehow justify your own faith by trying to convince Catholics that they are evil and/or stupid? I really can’t see any urge on your part to save their souls. What I see is you saying that everything that you believe is right and that Catholicism is only right when it conforms to your beliefs.
LOL. God graciously deleted that book from my Bible. 8~)
My two oldest now live in a neighborhood similar to the one you describe. Their dad cried when he first saw the neighborhood they had moved into. One of the boys is a substitute teacher (mostly in inner city schools) & the other is in college. Some might think they are trashy, though probably not any of the people who live in their neighborhood.
You’re almost right. Everything the Bible contains is right and catholics (or anybody else, including me) are only right when they conform to It.
The verse is telling us that God did not make His election based on any righteousness of our own, any obedience we might muster. All men are equally fallen and equally lost.
God elects based on His good pleasure alone and acquits whom He wills of their sins because of the imputed (not infused) righteouseness and obedience of Jesus Christ.
""By grace have ye been saved," says Paul to the Ephesians (Eph. ii. 5, 8); and so important does it seem to him that his readers shall understand this and bear it on their hearts that he says it twice in the course of four verses. He says it in such a way, moveover, as to throw a tremendous emphasis on the word "grace," and therefore on the manner in which they had been saved, as distinguished from the salvation itself. He is not assuring the Ephesians that they had been saved. They knew that for themselves, and were rejoicing in this wonderful thing which had come to them. What he is eagerly repeating to them, intent on fixing it so firmly in their hearts that they cannot escape from it for a moment, is that it is just "by grace" that they have been saved..."
Tridentine Ping just posted!
yep.
They wheeled a local high school kid out of there the other night, almost dead from an OD.
It's one of those old neighborhoods of ramshackle houses that the suburbs have grown out and around. The old trolley line to Atlanta from Marietta used to run just west of here, and this was a shantytown that grew up around one of the stops. It's been here 75 years or more.
The county has had trouble dealing with the area because the titles to the land are all mixed up and nobody knows who owns it (the people in the old shantytown never did bother with title deeds, wills, etc. Nobody's had a good title over there for a long time). It's hard to condemn property for code violations when you're not sure who owns it! And developers keep trying to buy it . . . but they can't figure out who owns it either!
Not at all. My beliefs and practices are not limited to scripture. Surely you are familiar enough with Catholicism to understand that. Later this evening, I will gather my children, we will light candles and kneel before this big white ceramic statue of Mary and say the Hail Mary fifty three times, sometimes in latin, since we all know how Satan hates that language. I will be doing something that many a great Catholic saint has done, and following the advice of several popes, as well as the Blessed Virgin herself at Lourdes and Fatima. My church has deemed the rosary as high quality devotion, even setting aside a Sunday to celebrate it. That's good enough for me.
