    TENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME B

    Thank you for this. As a language teacher - composition, interpreting - I've been telling my students for a long time, "Yes, actions speak louder than words, but words convey meanings that are much more specific than actions." It takes both - we have to talk the talk, but then we have to walk the walk.

    Well, That's Fun!

    Many thanks to whichever mediator of meh cleaned up the spam topics!

    I stumbled on this song this morning on an "alternative rock" radio station. It's MAJOR. (that's how he styles his name) singing "Joy in the Battle." This is new music, and I like it! The video has some interesting graphics in it, too, plus a little bonus message (in print) at the end.

    THE FIVE ASSOCIATIONS OF THE DISCALCED CARMELITE NUNS IN THE USA

    St. Teresa Association Established in 1975 In order to strengthen each other in living their contemplative vocation in the Church, a group of American Discalced Carmelite Monasteries joined together as an association. The five original founding Carmels were Danvers (Massachussets), Pittsford (New York), Lafayette (Louisiana), Fort Worth (Texas), and Terre Haute (Indiana). Since then it has developed to include communities from Canada, as well. Nature of the Association Our monasteries share the same vision of the Teresian ideal. We seek to go ever deeper into the life and doctrine of Our Holy Mother, St. Teresa, the source of our authentic renewal and the true source of our spiritual affinity. Our monasteries respect the juridical autonomy of each Carmel. Our monasteries are guided by the 1991 Constitutions of the Discalced Carmelite Nuns, the documents and teachings of the Catholic Church

    Hey anyone, Do some of you lease dump trailers as part of your enterprise, or do you use dump trailers for private or business use? I'm always curious about learning how others in the industry are running their fleets and what brands you're having success with. I wanted to talk about my experience with Top Shelf Trailers. My name is Jesse, and I manage a dump trailer rental business out of Atlanta. After a lot of research and comparisons, I decided to trust Top Shelf Trailers for my whole business, and it has been a great decision. I own four of their 7x14x4 14k dump trailers, all fitted with ramps, tarp, and a spare tire. The best part? I spent only $10,495 for each. I went to Florida to pick up my first trailer, but they delivered the other three at incredibly low rates, which was a huge bonus. Their trailers have been extremely trustworthy and have made a big difference in my operations. If you're considering a new dump trailer, I strongly suggest giving them a call at (888) 654-3587. Looking forward to your thoughts and experiences!Hey everyone, Do any of you folks rent dump trailers as part of your business, or do you own dump trailers for personal or business use?

    June May Be Pride Month, But. . .

    Absolutely agree with you. Such a devil's trick as is Halloween and others to draw attention away from what's really important. But the love of Jesus Sacred Hearth will rise above all of those evil ideologies and philosophies.
  14. In Catholicism, June is the month dedicated to The Sacred Heart. I can't help but think that that's divine providence. The LGBTQ+ movement is a counterfeit to the love that we really need and long for. Jesus offers us HIS fulfilling love.

    "Coeur de Jesus" is a hymn to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is a long-standing tradition at all schools staffed by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the RSCJ. It is always sung in French. It's sung on the feast of the Sacred Heart, at graduations, and at weddings and funerals of the alumnae. This is a one-minute version, chorus and first verse only, sung at Villa Duchesne in St. Louis. I cannot find a full version on YouTube, and the other versions I find are sung too fast. I post the lyrics as well. Refrain: Coeur de Jésus sauvez le monde, Que l’univers vous soit soumis En Vous seul notre espoir se fonde Seigneur, Seigneur, Vous nous l’avez promis. (Heart of Jesus, save the world) (May the world be submitted to you,) (In you alone our hope is founded) (Lord, Lord, you have promised us this.) Verse 1: Vous l’avez dit: Votre promesse Fait notr’espoir, notre bonheur: « Je bénirai dans ma tendresse Les enfants de mon Sacré Coeur. (You have told us: your promise) (Will be our hope, our happiness:) (“In my tenderness, I will bless) (The children of my Sacred Heart.”) Verse 2: Vous l’avez dit: Sauveur fidèle, Votr’ amour nous l’a révélé: « Le coeur brulant pour Moi de zèle Par le Mien sera consolé ! » (You have said, O faithful Savior,) (Your love has revealed it to us:) (“The heart that burns with zeal for Me) (Will find consolation in my Heart.”) Verse 3: Vous l’avez dit: notre faiblesse En Vous trouve son Protecteur, Dans votr’amour soyez sans cesse Jésus notre Réparateur Verse 4: Vous l'avez dit: les vies flammes De grace et de l'maour vain-queur Aideront au salut des âmes, Les apôtres de votre Coeur. Verse 5: Vous l'avez dit: Source de grâces, Votr'Amour se delatera, Comblant de ses dons efficaces Le Coeur qui vous honorera. Verse 6: Vous l'avez dit: quand votr'image Meuvra la gloire et l'honneur Parmi nous ce sera le gage Des bien-faits de votre grand Coeur. Verse 7: Vous l'avez dit: le coeur qui M'aime Sur le Mien pourra s'endormir Dans la paiz, à l'instant suprème D'un jour qui ne doit plus finir. Last Refrain: Qu'importe si l'orage grande Ça Vous nos coeurs sont affermis Jésus, Vous êtes Roi du monde, Régnez, malgré nos ennemis! Courtesy of RSCJ Archives.
  16. Why do we speak? We talk, chat, write, text, email, learn new languages, sing, and speak. The individual voice adds a layer of complexity to our words; no one speaks quite the way you speak. We speak all the time (some of us more than others…), and we do it for all sorts of reasons. Because we need something, because we want something, because we want to offer something, because we long for expression of self, because we long for connection and communication is a quick means to that end. We speak because something inside of us needs to get outside of us. Some scientists who study the origins of language say that humans started speaking because we needed to negotiate. To work together. To exchange various goods. To ensure safety for our community or tribe. Speaking is particular to humans. Yes, all sorts of animals communicate – with song and motions and gestures and even languages of movement. But humans speak – with verbs and nouns and adjectives, stringing sentences together. Do you know that with just 25 words, you could make over 15,000 sentences? Incredible But here’s another question, perhaps a more fitting question for us: Why do Christians speak? How do we speak? What do we speak? The Apostle Paul, in this piece of his letter to the Corinthians, says, quoting a psalm, “ I believed, and therefore I spoke.” He goes on in the present tense: and so, “ we too believe and therefore we too speak.” St Paul has had some disagreements with the Corinthians. They’ve gone back and forth in their correspondences. But Paul wants to assure them of his continued fondness, the truth above all truth: they are a letter of Christ. But now this letter of Christ must be spoken, read, shared. “ we too believe and therefore we too speak” This is at the heart of Christian speech. Our speech should flow from our belief; we speak because we believe. What have you spoken this week? We fall short of Paul’s words – we often don’t speak because we are afraid of talking about our faith, scared that we’ll offend someone, nervous that we’ll get it wrong. We’d rather “preach with our lives” than with our lips. It’s difficult to put words to our faith, isn’t it? However, St Paul tells us there is a letter written on our heart. Christ himself wrote it. We might need to stop speaking so that we can listen to Christ’s letter on our hearts. So that we might hear his words to us, his voice that calls our names, his speech of peace and goodness and love. By listening to the letter written on our hearts, by listening to the words of Jesus, by being pulled ever deeper into God, we might then learn to speak, to read this letter out loud to the world around us. Christians have long loved the quote attributed to St. Francis – “Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words.” At this point, it is necessary to use words, to begin speaking our belief. How else will others know the story of Jesus Christ? How else will they know that they are not defined by their worst sin? How else will they know that there is a family of God waiting to welcome them with open hearts? How else will they know that God is for them? We share our faith because it is a gift given to us by God. It is the greatest love letter of all time. And who doesn’t want to hear that they are beloved by the Creator of heaven and earth, that they are known for who they truly are, that they’ve been given gifts to use for the good purposes of God, that they can change for the good, that there is hope even in the mess, that in the end, love has won. To keep such a message to ourselves, to bury it deep within us, is to slow the movement of the Spirit, the message of Jesus Christ, the Word of God. It is meant to be believed. It is meant to be spoken. It is meant to be lived. Christ has written a letter on your heart. He has created you to speak it to those near and far. Will you proclaim it boldly to the world around you?

    A Young Boy's Search for God

    "Peace Is My Last Gift to You" was written by two music directors at two different (Catholic) churches in Dallas - Justin Brooks and Paul Denner, along with a friend of theirs, Jon Cole.. The song was written for the washing of the feet on Holy Thursday, but I hadn't found this song by that feast. If you click on ... more in the text box, you can see the lyrics as well as the story behind the writing of the song. It's contemporary music, but gentle and well performed - no musical interlude like you'd get in a pop song. The lyrics are all taken from John's Gospel.

    Hello friends

    I just want to mention again, for additional emphasis, that we have a Catholic school district which is fully publicly funded. Catholic kids have the right to attend a Catholic school and be taught Catholic teachings, at no cost to their families. All year I've had the privilege of teaching my classes about the Sacred Heart devotion, Marian dogmas, the meaning of Catholic Tradition, the sacraments, magisterial authority, even Catholic teachings on sexuality. Provincial government foots the bill. There are few examples these days of the Church maintaining Her authority and presence in the public sphere, or of any workplaces where one can be publicly, recognizably, formally Catholic.

    Hello friends

    I got that position I was hoping for. Staying at my current school, now with grade 4, and probably music classes for 3 and 4. As long as my evaluations go well next year, and there's no reason to suspect otherwise, then my contract now renews automatically each school year. So barring some really catastrophic budget cuts, I'm essentially guaranteed this job until I choose to retire. In four more years or so they'll pay me to do a master's degree as well. On the other hand, our collective agreement expires in August, and the central table bargaining is going to go south very quickly when the union presents its opening proposal and the government laughs in our collective face. Saskatchewan teachers have been at it for almost a year now, including strikes and work-to-rule. I'm assuming their situation is a bit of a weather vane.

    THE FIVE ASSOCIATIONS OF THE DISCALCED CARMELITE NUNS IN THE USA

    Carmelite Communities Associated Association President: Sr. Colette Ackerman of Baltimore Carmel
  26. Hello: I haven't been on here for a while and life has certainly been happening! I'm professed in OCDS and am discerning a Private Vow. My living situation is such that we have an open room for rent in my home for an adult male. My disabled adult son lives with me, and another disabled young man, and myself. This is fundamentally a "disabled" male household, with myself as sort of house-mom. We are very dedicated to a robust sacramental and prayer life, and have another room open for someone who is interested in joining the household. I own the house, so this is a stable situation. I've had other catholic men rent this room but they didn't share our prayer life, and it was just kind of awkward having a disunified household, so we are explicitly looking for someone who would join our prayer life habitually. My son is autistic and the other fellow is blind. I am not offering a "program" and I am only looking for someone who is pretty self-sufficient and can contribute to the home life and be active in the community to the extent they are able. Ie, my son, who is on SSI, goes to a day program for a few hours, volunteers at the sacristy, and makes dinner every night. The other fellow does all the laundry and is involved in an outreach and Legion of Mary. As a household, we get up at 5:30AM and go to Lauds at 6:00AM, and stay for 7:00AM Mass, and I go back to church in the evening for Vespers, and we say a rosary before bed. We would like to add Compline at home as well. We have a fondness for TLM but sometimes go to the N.O. and also partake of some excellent eastern liturgies from time to time. We just like beautiful liturgies however they come. I've been told that this Parish is one of the "five best places to live as a Catholic" in the USA. We have 24 hour adoration, and lots of activities. I work full time from home and can be supportive (ie I do all the driving!) but I expect whomever to "pitch in" as they are able to some degree and not just rely on me completely. So, this is "disability friendly" but it is not a "program". Rent is required but low enough so that someone on SSI can afford this. We have two very friendly cuddly cats and an old boxer who thinks he's a lapdog, and a good air circulation system. Another alternative is for a non-disabled man who is interested in working with people with disabilities, who would also be interested in joining our prayer regime. If you are interested or if you know someone who might be interested in this arrangement, please message me and we can start a conversation and see if this is a fit.
