” What blashemy!!!! “

ROTFLMAO!

Jabberwocky

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“”

So that’s the response I get for pointing out one of your religion’s heretical prayers???

It is to be expected since you have no defense...

Hard to take the truth? Still acting out? Still no point?

Sorry.

http://fratres.wordpress.com/2007/12/31/the-universal-spiritual-motherhood-of-mary-mary-has-universal-spiritual-motherhood-by-pope-john-paul-ii-general-audience-92497/

In saying that Mary is “a mother to us in the order of grace” (cf. ibid.), the Council stresses that her spiritual motherhood is not limited to the disciples alone, as though the words spoken by Jesus on Calvary: “Woman, behold your son” (Jn 19:26), required a restrictive interpretation. Indeed, with these words the Crucified One established an intimate relationship between Mary and his beloved disciple, a typological figure of universal scope, intending to offer his Mother as Mother to all mankind.

On the other hand, the universal efficacy of the redeeming sacrifice and Mary’s conscious co-operation with Christ’s sacrificial offering does not allow any limitation of her motherly love.

Mary’s universal mission is exercised in the context of her unique relationship with the Church. With her concern for every Christian, and indeed for every human creature, she guides the faith of the Church towards an ever deeper acceptance of God’s Word, sustains her hope, enlivens her charity and fraternal communion and encourages her apostolic dynamism.

3. During her earthly life, Mary showed her spiritual motherhood to the Church for a very short time. Nonetheless, the full value of her role appeared after the Assumption and is destined to extend down the centuries to the end of the world. The Council expressly states: “This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she gave in faith at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the Cross, until the eternal fulfilment of all the elect” (Lumen gentium, n. 62).

Having entered the Father’s eternal kingdom, closer to her divine Son and thus closer to us all, she can more effectively exercise in the Spirit the role of maternal intercession entrusted to her by divine Providence.

My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.

Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.

Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.

Amen.

When there is no defense, there’s only noise. That’s all narses has. It’s narses’ version of, “neener, neener, neener, neener, neener, I can’t hear you.”

Like I said; narses is done.

Nice post also. Heretical is a little kind, don’t you think? ;)

that prayer is from a Pope

I know but it took a minute before I recognized that..which made it all the more dispicable. I'd really like to know, that if the scripture cannot speak to them, and those here who have time and again proven the truth, how can they have any hope?

You know I cam here not knowing much at all about the catholic faith...the church I had been to but found it just too full of tinsel and distractions and no meat there. But following these threads and researching on my own to get to the truth...well it has been more than astounding.

I spent allot of time on the Vatican site...the horses mouth so to speak. Amazing what is stated and how they go about deceiving their membership. Now if I can see this and they can't it just proves they are fully entrenched and only Gods Spirit can open their eyes...but they don't want the truth...so why do we keep on putting "pearls before swine" here?

Not scriptural. Where in scripture do we receive instruction to pray to, worship, admire, venerate ANYONE other than God???

Where?

Where?

Hi Hoss...looks like she’s backed up against the wall again without a defense. I’ve seen this often on the threads. And you are right, when some can’t defend themselves they lash out with foolishness and stupidity. You made some good points and too bad she couldn’t stay on topic.

“Now you know we do not post our church affiliations for security issues.”

Really? So Lutherans are a security risk? How is answering a question of the denomination a “security risk”?

Well at least I know your sources, resorting to story books in a dialogue reveals much.
