About The sponors:

About the advertisers, while they also sponsor me I also sponsor them.  The reason I allow it is because it leads you to a lead you might find of interest. Beleive me you DON'T make anything on this, (a few pennies a year, IF your lucky).
...And now a word from one of my sponsors, hopefully of faith reated.

Shared by an anonymous doctor i call this, "whats up" ?!

   Disclaimer: I take NO credit for creating this EMail, that was sent out to millions of people,
God can not be held down or kept quiet. Publication rights have all ready been forfieted by the "Title Holder" !! tl ( The term "I" meaning the originator!)
     A couple of days ago I was running (I use that term very loosely) on my treadmill, watching a DVD by Louie Giglio... And I was BLOWN AWAY! I want to share what I learned... But I fear not being able to convey it as well as I want. I will share anyway.


    He (Louie) was talking about how inconceivably BIG our God is... How He spoke the universe into being.... Then He went on to speak of how this universe creating God ALSO knitted our human bodies together with amazing detail and wonder. At this point I am LOVING it (fascinating from a medical standpoint, you know.)... And I was remembering how I was constantly amazed during medical school as I learned more and more about God's handiwork. I remember so many times thinking.. 'How can ANYONE deny that a Creator did all of this???'

    Louie went on to talk about how we can trust that the God who created all this, also has the power to hold it all together when things seem to be falling apart..how our loving Creator is also our sustainer.

    And then I lost my breath. And it wasn't because I was running my treadmill, either!!! It was because he started talking about laminin. I knew about laminin. Here is how Wikipedia describes them: 'LAMININS are a family of proteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue.' You see.... Laminins are what hold us together.. LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart. And I knew all this already. But what I didn't know is what they LOOKED LIKE.

    But now I do. And I have thought about it a thousand times since (already).. Here is what the structure of laminin looks like...AND THIS IS NOT a 'Christian portrayal' of it!! If you look up laminin in any scientific/medical piece of literature, this is what you will see...

Now tell me that our God is not the coolest!!! Amazing. The glue that holds us together.... . ALL of us.... Is in the shape of the cross. Immediately Colossians 1:15-17 comes to mind.


'He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether

thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in Him all things HOLD TOGETHER.' (Colossians 1:15-17)

Call me crazy. I just think that is very, very, very cool. Thousands of years before the world knew anything about laminin, Paul penned those words. And now we see that from a very LITERAL standpoint, we are held together... One cell to another... By the cross. You would never in a quadrillion years convince me that is anything other than the mark of a Creator who knew EXACTLY what laminin 'glue' would look from the very beginning!

What an amazing God...what an awesome God...
and we are made in his image...now I understand.

Basilica of The Little Flower St. Therese

January 25th 2010 Our Lady of Fatima was on loan to The Basilica of The Little Flower in San Antonio Texas. Photos of the Altars and The Shrine to The Little Flower "St. Therese", and The Baby Jesus of Praque are featured here. It is truely a Holy Sanctuary! I don't think even the people are aware of how invaluable the site is.

Just click on the link written in "Rose Red" and read all about the church and it's history.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE

    Religious freedom is not free just yet. I thought we were getting there as I was growing up. Sadly even Christians right in the United States boarder and polarize themselves with what they believe and what's out there to believe. This leaves many out in the cold with not even the HOPE!
    This can go into many directions but picking it up at Hope, not having any, opens the "essense" of our very being, to suggestions open for discussion.
    Here I will only profess to document what has worked for me, what has happened to me, and what I'm sure can work for you IF you are ready and serious. You can "COMMUNICATE" with the Ancient Ones, Walk with Saints, Order Angels (Special training, restraining, sustaining, trial and error), "Present to Counel", conjure, invoke, awaken (even self), but most of all, Gain "FAVOR WITH THE LORD", so you may be anwered quickly, or given signs.
    It is best to begin and remember the begining, the middle and the end if nothing else. In the most ancient of days , we were told of seven laws, even before the 10 comandments, not to mention the Powerful prayers of Solemon, and the mind altering Proverbs. 
    Then there was Jesus, AFTER Moses with the ways we should be today (should)... and then there's a sneak preview of tomorrow if we're good. This is were everybody parts ways.
    The Revelations are confusing to all except, the ones who diligently "seek" the LORD. You would have had to have sought out your own understanding with the living book in order to have had the so many experiences meant for you. If your relationship with The Lord hasn't been what you would like it to be, then JUST ASK!
    I might have said earlier, the immortal ones sometimes need awakening. That is why the repetition. Only chosen ones are selected by the Heavens, and we have to respect the church for who they choose as saints. Not every one can be a Saint, but not everyone goes off into bliss either. Therefore, only ask Saints for intercession. Always Thank GOD!

SAINT PIO OF PIETRELCINA

I'm not familiar with this Saint. If I had been born in Italy I would have known them all.

Prayers and  my personal
notes to follow:

ST. THERESE, THE LITTLE FLOWER

    Therese Martin entered a Carmelite convent at the age of sixteen. As Sister Therese of The Child Jesus, she lived a hidden life. She was just twenty-four when she died.
   The world came to know her  through her autobiography,
"The Story of A Soul".
She described her life as " a little way of spiritual childhood." She lived each day with unshakable confidence in God's love. What matters in life is "not great deeds, but great love."
    "my mission-to make God loved-will begin after my death," she said. "I will spend my heaven doing good on Earth. I will let fall a shower of roses." Countless lives have been touched by her intercession, and thousands have imitated her "little way".
She has been acclaimed the "greatest saint of modern times". Everywhere in the world the roses continue to fall.

                                              MIRACULOUS INVOCATION
                                                     TO SAINT THERESE
    O glorious Saint Therese, whom Almighty God has raised up to aid and counsel mankind, I implore your Miraculous Intercession.
    So powerful are you in obtaining every need of body and soul our Holy Mother Church proclaims you a "Prodigy of Miracles... The Greatest Saint of Modern Times".
    Now, I ferventy beseech you to answer my petition on... (mention request here)...
and to carry out your promises of spending Heaven doing good upon Earth...
...of letting fall from Heaven a Shower of Roses.
    Henceforth, Dear Little Flower,
        I will fulfill your plea "to be made known everywhere" and I will never cease to lead others to Jesus through you.
AMEN 
To be con't..

 " I will let fall from Heaven...a Shower of Roses"

A word from Tom,

This promise of roses is one that is honored and kept by Our Lord. I know! I had a brief aquaintance with an

Entity that was assurring and reassuring!

If you request intercession through this Saint be prepared to be comforted by (if nothing else,...) a rose!

( To mean: you do not walk alone or more than one to mean: requests are granted, expect blessings!)

My personal testimony was toward the end of my mothers life. I took care of her as a good son should do. Mother loved roses. As a child I bought her a few, The Texas Rose, The Peggy Lee.

Turning to Saints to interceed for the much needed St. Therese answered in so many ways, even the prunning shears to get ready! But the one sign I will remember for all the days of my life, (and there were many..) was when she passed away. I thought I was the one that died. My heart was torn to pieces. There were several occations.

Walking home with my head tucked, saddened to death, on a slated side walk, wet from rain, A Beautiful Red Rose! One singular harty healthy, (where there should be NO rose or the chance that any one would abandone..) rose!

To be con't..

A Prayer to St. Therese

ST. THERESE, THE LITTLE

FLOWER, PLEASE PICK ME

A ROSE FROM THE HEAVENLY

GARDEN AND SEND IT TO

ME WITH A MESSAGE OF LOVE.

ASK GOD TO GRANT ME THE

FAVOR I THEE IMPLORE AND

TELL HIM I WILL LOVE

HIM EACH DAY MORE AND MORE

(The above prayer, plus 5 Our Father's, 5 Hail

Mary's, 5 Glory Be's, must be said on 5 suc-

cessive days, before 11 A.M. On the 5th day,

the 5th set of prayers having been completed,

offer one more set - 5 Our Father's, 5 Hail

Mary's, 5 Glory Be's )

The above was a leaflet printed for and by THE MARIANNHILL FATHERS

                                                                                 P.O.Box 87

                                                                  Dearborn, Michigan 48121-0087

....Because the Miracles and stories are so fresh, even to this very day, there are people alive that have "something" passed down through the ages regarding the "How" St. Therese came to be a "Nun" at the age of fifteen. It was said she had a gift, she could communicate with God. Her prayers were answered immediately, she would "manifest" things, befriend the unexplained and have conversations. She had to be protected!

Tom, (That's what we discussed in Caticism with Sister Joseph Pius) SHHH!

Prayer to Saint Jude

Prayer to be said in great affliction, or when one seems to be deprived of all visible help, or for cases despaired of.  WARNING:  THIS IS A PROMISE, THE ETERNAL ONES DO NOT LIKE A BROKEN PROMISE. PUBLICATION IS PROMISED! ..
AND SHOULD BE KEPT.
IF THE REQUEST IS ANSWERED BEFORE 9 DAYS, COMPLETE THE NINTH DAY AND PUBLISH.

(This opening address seems to get the attention of the Holy Counsel before the thrown of God. Other openings may begin with glorious, etc, this works best.)

    Most Holy Apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered thy beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused thee to be forgotten by many, but the church honors and invokes thee universally as the patron of hopeless cases, of things despaired of.

    Pray for me who am so miserable, make use I implore thee of that particular privillege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help when help is almost despaired of.

    Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolations and succor of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly ~   (Here make your request)

...and that I may bless God with thee and all the elect forever.

    I promise thee, O blessed St. Jude to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor thee as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to thee,

St. Jude, Apostle, martyr and relative of  Our Lord Jesus Christ, of Mary and of Joseph, intercede for us.

AMEN
