The Lord is all that, I need for nothing He allows me to chill. He keeps me from being heated And allows me to breathe easy. He guides my life so that I can represent and give Shouts out in his Name. And even though I walk through The Hood of death, I don't back down For you have my back. The fact that you have me covered Allows me to chill. He provides me with back-up In front of my player-haters And I know that I am a baler And life will be phat I fall back in the Lord's crib For the rest of my life. https://www.amazon.com/Holy-Bible-Hip-Hop-Version/dp/1593308000

Soo Benny Hinn, yesterday, came out in support of the Catholic Church because of the Real Presence in the Eucharist and the devotion Catholics have to the Church (rather than church hopping like Protestants.) Now I feel icky.

Lutha Mahtin posted:so people who receive food stamps are lost causes? harsh Maybe he needs a saint for himself and his job, not his clients. Alternatively, this prayer seems to shed a little light on the definition and fuzzy edges of "lost" causes: quote:O most holy apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honoureth and invoketh thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, and of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, who am so miserable. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of. Come to mine assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and succor of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (here make your request) and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise thee, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee. Amen.

cerror posted:Doesn't St. Jude cover desperate situations in general as well? Yes, and while I admit I am not an expert on St. Jude, it just really sits wrong with me to look at charity and social programs for lower-class people, and package them into a box labeled "desperation/giving up". To me this is incompatible with much of the Gospel, as it places a second-class humanity onto those who find themselves in the position to receive such aid, and denies the transformative power of loving one's neighbor.

I just wanted to direct your attention to this work of art I saw recently in one of my parish's churches: It's part of a poster advertising this year's procession in honour of St Leonhard at a pilgrimage church not far away (I posted about this saint's cult and the specific church in the previous thread). It's so stylish, and Catholic, and Bavarian. It's perfect

To me this is incompatible with much of the Gospel, as it places a second-class humanity onto those who find themselves in the position to receive such aid, and denies the transformative power of loving one's neighbor. "Lost causes" does not mean the person asking St. Jude's intercession - people aren't lost causes while alive! - and it doesn't mean social programs count as "giving up", any more than going to St. Jude's Children's Hospital means someone's untreatable. St. Jude is the patron of things despaired of and needs that have been forgotten because he himself wasn't much venerated, despite being one of the Twelve, because his name was too close to Judas Iscariot's. People don't seek government assistance as a first resort - not necessarily a last one, but it's nobody's first choice - and so St. Jude seemed to fit quite well, besides it being his feast day. (Which he shares with Simon called the Zealot, in the Latin rite, because they were martyred together.)

I know this wasn't what zonohedron meant, but it's definitely a common viewpoint in our society. I've been on social security payments for 13 years on and off, and there's nothing I want more than to go out there and work, but I can't because of a self-contradictory, time/paper-consuming bureaucratic behemoth that makes the Adeptus Administratum look like a fast checkout lane.

so apparently the ICK has established an oratory in Detroit about 45 minutes from me, and they're offering a full Solemn Requiem Mass with the Fauré Requiem this Wednesday to cap off Hallowtide. i am practically giddy at the thought of spending a gazillion hours in church this week.

I'm German *and* Catholic, yes that works!
