A little bit of humor in that title -- don' you think?

And a follow-up tidbit.

The Family That Prays Together…

…Stays Together!!!

Believe it or not, these pictures aren’t staged. Every night when Eileen, Mary, Elizabeth and I kneel down to say our evening prayers, Gracie comes running as soon as she hears the beginning of the Our Father! Now, if your pet doesn’t pray with you, don’t feel bad. Gracie hasn’t learned all of the words to the Lord’s prayer yet and her examination of conscience (prior to the Act of Contrition) leaves something to be desired, but…

we’re working on it!

Catholic Ping and chuckle of the day.

The Lord's Prayer - given to us by the Savior Himself. I pray it daily and treasure it dearly. This graphic contains a link to an excellent rendition of the Malotte "Lord's Prayer" by the tenor Andrea Bocelli. I hope you enjoy it!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!



The Lord’s Prayer
Andrea Bocelli
(Click)

DEAR LORD, who suffered torment, agony, and death upon the Cross to free our souls from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan from the chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all to a greater share in Your Mercy.

Amen.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

For a Christian, it should not be necessary to disect this prayer.

All he/she has to do is to accept that the Son of God taught the prayer when sinful men asked Him to teach them how to pray.

I take “on Earth as it is in heaven” as governing both “Thy Kingdom Come” and “Thy Will Be Done.”

In the Vulgate, it is cotidianum nostrum panem = “our daily bread” in the Luke version. In the Matthew version, it is supersubstantialem nostrum panem = “our life-sustaining bread.”

I thought supersubstantialis might have a more heavenly meaning, but no.

When I was 13 or 14. 1973 circa. I listen to heavy metal music than was attacked by spiritual sounds with spiritual presence. I prayed "The Our Father" . It stopped. The best exorcism pray. Threw out the album.

I hate Heavy Metal.

Praise Jesus!

Directed by saving precepts and schooled in divine teaching, we make bold to say . . . Our Father, who art in heaven . . . .

I visited a new church today. Stayed after Mass. The small group prayed the Luminous mysteries.

Afterward, the leader of the rosary thanked me for helping out volunteering for pro-life, pro-family activity I was doing in the town. She then informed me that she was voting for the NARAL candidate in 2 weeks in the primary. “I just like the guy.”

What does “Luminous” mean again?

(some peeple just doo not make any connection between their pro-life beliefs and their voting choices. Is it really that difficult? What am I missing? Is it the stooge factor in the church? Elderly suburbanites.)

I decided to be patient with church-stooges. But my political organizing strategy ain’t working.
