.- Presiding over the Sunday Angelus prayer following the canonization Mass for five new saints, Pope Benedict XVI stressed that "the Virgin Mary is the star that guides" every area of holiness."
In several languages, the Pope thanked the faithful from all around the world who were in attendance at the Mass of canonization. He also remarked that Mary’s fiat – her "yes" - makes her a "model of perfect adherence to the divine will."
The Holy Father then greeted the English-speaking pilgrims present for the canonization. "May these new saints accompany you with their prayers and inspire you by the example of their holy lives."
He also addressed "a group of survivors of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki," and prayed "that the world may never again witness such mass destruction of innocent human life."
"May God bless all of you, as well as your families and loved ones at home."
Finally, the Pope encouraged everyone present to look at "the Mother of Christ with filial trust, asking for her intercession and that of the new saints" for the Church to bring "peace and salvation."
“High Church wong”
This, of course, is a reference to the Anglican missions in China.
Of course.
Or it just might be a typo for “wing”. Maybe.
Don't feel bad - I bet the closest he ever got to sheep was viewing "The Pretty Baa Lambs" or "The Hireling Shepherd" in the Royal Academy . . .
My grandfather in law was a Methodist Minister and United States Marshal for Arizona Territory back in the teens. He always said when he arrested somebody that they could go back with him as the minister . . . or as the marshal.
Right Reverend Bishop Quentin K. Y. Huang, Bishop of Yunkwei, China.
LOL to all of it! And wow does Bishop Huang look Anglican!
“”It’s about living in the Love”
Amazing! You echo almost to the words my father’s path from Judaism to Luthernism to Catholicism.
It’s about living in love and constant painful falls we take along the way, but it never stops the love.
He fell in love with Christ.
The farther from Canterbury you’re located, the more Anglican you have to look . . . and really you can’t get much farther from Canterbury than Yunkwei. . . .
Well, Our Lady’s mantle in that icon is based on the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Evening Star who gathers everything
shining dawn scattered -
you bring the sheep and the goats,
you bring the child back to its mother.

You are correct, but it would help if the religion forum rules were easier to find. I spent 10 minutes earlier today looking for them, and failed.
And while I can open the link you provided, I have no idea where to find it in the future. (However, I’ve bookmarked it for future use!)
Some threads start off with the appropriate rules posted - that would help, but I’ve been posting of FreeRepublic for 11 years, and I don’t know where to find the rules on my own...
Just click on my name, “Religion Moderator.” The guidelines are posted on my profile page.
Sorry, didn’t realize that. My apologies to all.
Type in Religion Moderator in the search function of FR.
Then go down th ‘Users’
Then click on search. It will find postings by him and then you can click on his name to read the Guidelines.
Takes less than 30 seconds.
Thank you. I’ll try to remember that...but past 50, the memory doesn’t last as long as it used to!
;>)
Yeah. I bookmarked it too, after I came in stomping all over somebody else’s caucus thread with my muddy papist boots.
Tell me about it.
Uh, to whom am I talking? What are we talking about?
Except for the "gently" part.
I think I may prepare a comment on our current RCIA course with an eye to re-casting it next year. "Living in the Love" wouldn't be such a bad sub-title, huh?
Yep! A great line.
My mother was from Golders Green. Always cracks me up when I remember the fictional Saint Sarah. It was a planned community back before planned communities were cool.
