In the end my friend we will all grin and embrace one another realizing at last that we all were playing on the same team after all!

“Saint of Unbelievers”
orchidee said:

We know we are all saints in one way - Saint-ified, sanctified believers.
One (Protestant!) I know is quite raging today over this. Oh, a hell-fire and damnation type of Editorial he wrote in a Church Newsletter.
I suppose Protestants say \'A pity he went over to R.C\'.

Piqued and Pruned
orchidee said:

A spot of persecution there Gary?
Yet is she - she who must be obeyed?! A line from a film, I believe.

Exactly O, those birds would keep our cricket population in check; yes , everything’s beautifully woven together - even for the cricket.

Mayan Mayhem
Gary Edward Geraci said:

Everything we build will come crashing down in the end, O, including my minor catalogue of word arrangements - but He will continue to exist as He always has. I put my trust in what He has revealed to us -for those who will choose to follow him: eternal life. And for those who will not: eternal damnation.

I was about to build a Tower of Babel, but I though best not to, in view of past events!

Just How Things Are
Gary Edward Geraci said:

Here goes: Pointing ——> “Matters of Life & Death: A Catholic Guide To The Moral Questions Of Our Time” by Gerard M. Verschuuren.
Buy this work, set aside 1/2 hour, and go straight to the chapter titled “Euthanasia” and the section “What Is a Meaningful Life?” for one of the best essays I’ve read on the questions of suffering and the justice of the Last Judgement.

Convinced and Pointing

A fine write Gary. Some things are not much help as \'pointers\', while other things are more useful.

One Sacrificial Union Between God and His Church, Man and His Wife
orchidee said:

We know there\'s no need to fight like cat and dog over this - the denominations. Though you know how you and I agree to differ in this.

Meanwhile - why is the front of the ship not called the \'beft\' (\'before; \'front\')?!
I wish I would shut up sometimes and go back to sleep awhile! heehee.

A fine write Gary. I use that phrase sometimes, as an \'excuse\' as I may find some poems cryptic or too involved (for me brain cells to compute!).

Just How Things Are
orchidee said:

A fine write Gary. You know we agree to differ, with my Protestant side re: Communion/Mass. Though I don\'t insist on denominational \'labels\'.

Look Up Look Down All On Our Phones
Clara said:

This is brilliant and very very true today, unfortunately. Sometimes we lose ourselves in the every day and the bigger picture is lost. I enjoyed reading this.

Gary,

A wonderful tribute for the selfless Kendrick Castillo!
His father told him he didn’t have to be a hero. He didn’t do what he did so that he would be a hero. He did it because that’s what he was taught to do...
to be a good person and to help others...
and that’s exactly what he did!
As far as I’m concerned...
HE IS A HERO!

“Within the broken Vatican
The murdered Pope is lying dead.
The soldiers of Valerian
Their evil hands are wet and red.

Unarmed, unmoved, St. Laurence waits,
His cassock is his only mail.
The troops of Hell have burst the gates,
But Christ is Lord, He shall prevail.

(Excerpt from the poem “St. Laurence” by Joyce Kilmer

You Said We’d Move Mountains
orchidee said:

Maybe we grow in this? Move a fig tree first, then move on to mountains? There\'s no set rules though.
With gesticulations, I saw a guy once. I felt like saying:\' You\'ll be worn out before the service starts, with all that bobbing up and down\' (he was going over-the-top with it!).
