Immaculate Heart of Mary
orchidee said:
A fine write Gary. I suppose I differ somewhat with my Protestant background.
I\'m uneasy about \'Prayers to Mary\' tacked on to the end of some High-Church Anglo-Catholic services.

What a great reply from a son who experienced the torment. Sometimes it is necessary to enlighten relatives, as to the pain we suffered, because of their thoughtless actions.
Great job!

A great haiku, Gary and it definitely trumpets the truth.
Thanks for posting! :-)

World Religions
orchidee said:
A fine write Gary. Though I could get controversial. By \'religion\' I don\'t mean Catholic, Protestant, or other Christian \'branches\' or denominations.
But then again, \'religion\' is often the problem, even the cause of some wars and other troubles.

Kerygma
orchidee said:
A fine and true write Gary. I spent ages, as one author\'s favourite word, it seemed, was kerygma. Had to look it up. Shall we kerygmatise instead of evangelise? Or is kerygma specifically related to PREACHING the Gospel?
A joke says - Who is Kerygma? I don\'t know the guy - or gal! I\'ll shut up now. lol.

The Scandal of the Lights
orchidee said:
A fine write Gary. Yes, \'ordinary\' time now, aptly named. Yet the star-light shone at the Epiphany for the wise men/Magi.
Are we wise men/women?! heehee.

Climbing steps implies a journey of sorts...

A fine write Gary. I see it as His presence being, well, \'present\' in the bread and wine, though not as \'the real presence\'.
I expect you know what I mean - the Protestant line.

She’s like us in most every way

A good Haiku Gary. I expect you know I\'m going to say that I don\'t go along with all of it, being on the Protestant side, though I don\'t emphasise denominations much at all.

Gary,
This IS a “beautiful” write! I could relate a few personal situations that I know of...but it’s not necessary for me to do so in order to say THANK YOU for sharing this write! Our lives ARE a gift and we should be thankful!

Yes, I understand about heritage of buildings. But what about - when I went to share the Peace (handshake, etc) an elderly chap was asleep behind me! Maybe the sermon/homily had caused him to doze off?!

I Defeated Satan
Gary Edward Geraci said:
I think one of the most tangible written demonstrations of the existence of the devil (Satan), for me, outside of inspired, biblical revelation, came to me in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “The Brother’s Karamazov.” And it’s a fictional novel. But, my oh my, what it describes (I believe from an atheist character in the work), in relation to real world events (then and now), leaves little room for doubt (faith doesn’t strive for nor needs to be validated through scientific certainty - i.e. the heresy of scientism). But we don’t throw “reason” out the door either. Start with the first several modules over at crediblecatholic.com ....

Yes ... with this style, they (the stanzas) are all written to be purposely disconnected. Thanks for your read “O”.

Dusk - thanks for your read and comment; see “Fail: What Happens when Richard Dawkins Tries to Refute Aquinas” by Matt Fradd for how claims regarding the alleged mutual incompatibility of “omniscience” and “omnipotence” are concluded within our Catholic community. I’ll try to check out your work too. Peace and love....
