    pride goes before a fall

    Incorrect. Celebrating Pride Month is a call to ally with the LGBTQ community, a community which is anti-Christian at its core. The LGBTQ community is an entity that claims to speak for all who struggle with SSA. Within this “community” there is no place for those with SSA who follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are outright hostile towards any LGBTQ person who would affirm Christ’s Gospel and the authority of the Catholic Church. Supporting Pride Month is to support a way of life contrary to human dignity and love.

    Dolly Parton's cousin Tim formed a group called The Partons. He's the lead singer. He has a serviceable voice, but not a great voice. I believe he wrote this song, "Call on Me, Child." It's straight up country, standard instrumentation, but the musicians are terrific! And the song relates to the end of today's Gospel reading, sort of.

    October 4th is the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. One could post many videos of his prayers set to music - there are a lot of them out there. But I am posting the theme song from the Franco Zefferelli movie "Brother Sun, Sister Moon," written and sung by Donovan. The movie, and thus the song, came out in 1972.
  10. This Sunday’s gospel has words that’s likely to hear them as good news! First, we need to think about the readings we have just heard. In the Hebrew Scriptures we heard about how God created man and woman to help and to care for each other. And that their relationship should be primary and permanent. This is the ideal for relationship created by God for us. And when we prepare for commitment to another person we long for the reality of this ideal In the Gospel we hear the echoes of the same story in the context of a sparring match between Jesus and the Pharisees. The Pharisees never seem to really hear Jesus and like to accuse him of blasphemy. In this particular scrap, they are trying to catch Jesus about his knowledge of the law of Moses. They ask if it is lawful for a man to divorce his wife. Jesus tells them that Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her. But he then goes on to say that allowing that was because of their hardness of heart. Now what does that mean? In the time of Moses, the status of women had dropped to such an extent that a man was able to divorce his wife on any pretext whatsoever. She had no say in the matter. For Moses to say that a man had to write a certificate of dismissal meant that the wife’s status was raised so that she was at least not regarded as a prostitute. Now we come to Jesus. He says that Moses gave his law because men had been treating their wives as a possession. Moses’ law raised the status of women a notch. But Jesus says that God made man and woman in the beginning of creation. And in the relationship of husband and wife, they shall leave mother and father and be joined as one flesh. Now, to be one flesh is clearly a condition of equal value for both the woman and the man. They are to be mutually responsible in caring for each other. Here the status of men and women is equally valuable and so Jesus is raising the status of women even more and telling the Pharisees that they must exceed the letter of the law. This, of course, upholds the ideal of life-long, mutually loving relationships. And the pain that is experienced by anyone who is going through a divorce only speaks to the validity of that ideal in all of our hearts. Jesus was constantly faced with the need to respond to those who were hoping to make him seem wrong or foolish. He was steadfast in his faithfulness to God and set before us a way of forgiveness and hope. He held up to us the responsibility to be loving and just. And he held it up to us by living it out for himself. He also held up for us the necessity to choose. In the letter to the Hebrews, we hear that Jesus is... “one who was for a short while made lower than the angels.” That it was necessary for him to be so in order for us to be saved from the power of death. How often have we heard that Jesus only seemed to be like us, that if he was really God, he had to know what was coming and his death had to be easier for him knowing that. This passage tells us, not so! He was just as we are. Facing all the vicissitudes that life has to offer us. One of the church’s greatest heresies was that Jesus only seemed to be human. He was a real living human being just as we are. And he did not have an easy painless life. His life was not one without choices all along the way. His was even a life wherein he could not be any surer than we are that his decision was just the right one. He could only pray and try to remain faithful to what he knew and understood to God. We are called by God to love him and be faithful. The challenge for us is to live as children of the kingdom, growing up ever more faithful in our love and devotion to the ways of Christ and the teachings of His Church.

    Today's first reading is from Job, so here's Dr. C. J. Johnson (1913-1990) with his song "Job," recorded in 1966. He starts off preaching, then goes to singing, back by the congregation, with no accompaniment. Over the course of his life he recorded some 20 albums, none of them in a studio - all were recorded in church! In 1987, he was awarded the National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. And I love this album cover - terrific graphics!

    pride goes before a fall

    The danger of pride is that it pushes God to the margins of one’s spiritual, moral, and temporal existence, putting the prideful person at the moral centre. If God exists at all to the prideful person, it is only to gratify one’s ego and sense of importance. Pride causes a person to negate God and take all credit for one’s accomplishments.

    Today's the feast of the Holy Guardian Angels, so here's Brother Joe May sing "Angels Watching Over Me." I think it must be part of the original repertoire of 19th century (or earlier?) spirituals. I found a lot of souped-up versions in YouTube, but May delivers a very standard version in the classic mid-20th century Gospel style.
  16. Let's assume that our physical lives from our birth until our death are the Ground Floor Level of Heaven and let's play with the idea that perhaps those negative near death experience accounts help us to understand that the Purgatory - Hell realms are merely eternal spiritual beings attempting to HIDE from their Creator, [The Being of Light of near death experience fame who I believe is Messiah Yeshua - Jesus in His Resurrected Body] ..... I suppose that I should mention that the Roman Catholic Church got the idea of "Purgatory" from Jewish writers and thinkers.... [and near death experiencers who were writing or recounting their testimonies for centuries and millennia]! Genesis 3: 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? ..... I've been studying near death experience accounts rather obsessively since 1990 and to my thinking it sure seems like we humans both on Ground Floor.... this human life.... or at whatever place we choose to be in the Afterlife.... we are basically playing a game of Hide and Seek with our Creator.... [the Being of Light of near death experience fame who both Howard Storm and I believe is Messiah Yeshua - Jesus]!!!

    This bluegrass band is called IIIrd Tyme Out (say THIRD Time Out). They've been around since 1991, headquartered in Georgia. The song is called "I Feel Closer to Heaven Every Day." Even though St. Therese of Lisieux probably never heard bluegrass music in her short life, this song puts me in mind of her.

    pride goes before a fall

    pride noun 1. a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired Example: the team was bursting with pride after recording a sensational victory 2. consciousness of one's own dignity Example: he swallowed his pride and asked for help 3. confidence and self-respect as expressed by members of a group, typically one that has been socially marginalized, on the basis of their shared identity, culture, and experience Example: the bridge was lit up in rainbow colours, symbolic of LGBT pride The concept of "Pride Month," which celebrates LGBTQ+ identities and rights, can be seen as complex in relation to Roman Catholic teaching on pride as a sin. In Catholic theology, pride is often considered one of the seven deadly sins, representing an excessive belief in one's own abilities or importance, leading to a rejection of God’s authority. However, the celebration of "Pride Month" is primarily focused on affirming the dignity, identity, and rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, promoting acceptance and inclusion rather than the sinful pride that the Church warns against. The Church teaches that all individuals deserve respect and love, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The Catechism of the Catholic Church emphasizes the dignity of every person, stating: > "The dignity of the human person is rooted in his creation in the image and likeness of God" (CCC 1700). Thus, while the term "pride" in "Pride Month" may conflict with the traditional understanding of pride as a sin, the underlying message of affirming human dignity and promoting love and acceptance does not inherently contradict Catholic teaching. The Church encourages compassion and understanding toward all individuals, calling for a pastoral approach that respects their dignity while upholding its moral teachings. In summary, the celebration of "Pride Month" does not necessarily contradict Catholic teaching if understood in the context of affirming human dignity and promoting love, rather than the sinful pride that the Church condemns.

    Family Security Act (Pro-Life Related)

    I don't know. I did some digging and found that that this bill isn't as good as it could be for single parents, immigrants, and survivors of domestic violence. Those who make less than $10,000 a year ironically get less financial aid than those who make $10,000 or more. I certainly disagree with this article claiming that "further entrenching the concept of fetal personhood into federal law" is a bad thing. https://policy.futureswithoutviolence.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Missing-the-Mark-FSA-Act-2.0-1.pdf

    I've posted a number of songs by Sister Shirley Caesar because I think she's one of the best Gospel singers around. This song is called "Don't Be Afraid." It's basically the same message as St. Pope John Paul II proclaimed throughout his papacy, although in a very different style. This sounds like a service in a little country church - the only instrument is a bass guitar, and a whole 'congregation' is singing along.
  26. Mr. Al Gore and Mr. Bill Gates have to a degree linked the value of a human life to OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT... BUT....... I believe that our Creator places essentially INFINITE VALUE ON EACH HUMAN LIFE... and knows the number of the hairs on each head of all eight billion of us!!!!! I believe that Pastor Rick Joyner would be termed Charismatic Catholic and I believe that his three books.... The Final Quest..... The Call... .and The Torch and the Sword.... are so off the scale brilliant that they must have been given to him in a visionary dream as he reports........... because if not then he would have to be a Christian Literary Genius up there with C. S. Lewis or even Thomas Aquinas!

    pride goes before a fall

    Dr. Heidi Baker can explain how spiritual pride can lead to our being glued to the floor..... for seven days and seven nights.... in a way that could scare any of us...... and all of us!!!!!!! ....... My theory is that His Holiness Pope Francis may soon retire........ and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh....... in a manner that could remind people of what broke out in Mississauga Catch the Fire church back in 1994. I believe that Messiah Yeshua - Jesus will soon take Pope Francis by the right hand..... and show him mystery after mystery after mystery after mystery.............. and perhaps Pope Francis will turn Dr. Heidi Baker into "THE MOTHER SUPERIOR"....... and throw his crown at her feet.... because she is a personification of The Warrior Bride.............. who will increase and increase and increase the Kingdom of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus into hell itself.......... ...... ..... On Friday evening I heard Dr. Heidi Baker speak at Catch the Fire near the Pearson Airport in Toronto. In my opinion she gave what i consider to be an "Einstein Level Sermon" that was prepared over nearly three decades.......... Pastor Heidi Baker spent a lot of time on the FLOOR at C. T. F. unable to even get up......... but on September 28, 2024 Jesus and the Ruach ha Kodesh - The Holy Spirit allowed Dr. Heidi to stand to her feet........ and give a sermon that astonished me for the level of sheer brilliance and wisdom that was contained in it. My Theology Professor near death experiencer Dr. Kevin Zadai had his mental capabilities cranked up by Jesus....... before his near death experience he had an IQ of 106 but after his 1992 brush with death he tested at IQ 159, [well up in the genius range]. But... my advice to Dr. Kevin Zadai would be to NEVER get into a Theological argument with The Dr. Heidi Baker because she is THE BOSS!!!!!!! I have a suggestion for Dr. Kevin Zadai though and for the Latter day Saints who respect his sincerity and humility and love for America and Canada and Israel.... and for all nations. http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/in-what-way-will-pope-francis-be-the-last-pope.621924/
