Our Blessed Mother’s Urgent Call

Archdiocese of Washington ^ | 05-09-17 | Msgr. Charles Pope

[Elsie]

I declare with the saints: Mary is the earthly paradise of Jesus Christ the new Adam, where he became man by the power of the Holy Spirit, in order to accomplish in her wonders beyond our understanding. She is the vast and divine world of God where unutterable marvels and beauties are to be found. She is the magnificence of the Almighty where he hid his only Son, as in his own bosom, and with him everything that is most excellent and precious. What great and hidden things the all-powerful God has done for this wonderful creature, as she herself had to confess in spite of her great humility, "The Almighty has done great things for me." The world does not know these things because it is incapable and unworthy of knowing them.

Luke 2:22-24

 

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”),  and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

 

Leviticus 12:7-8

 

Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

[Elsie]

Then what the heck was she doing marrying Joseph?

Ol' Joe didn't get to 'enter'; doncha know...

[Elsie]

Luther used the excuse of the abuses to introduce invalid Scriptural interpretations, to resolve his personal insecurities.

Oh? invalid to WHOM?

2 Peter 1:20 KJV
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

Rome claims that ONLY it can interpret Scripture 'correctly'.

You other pipsqueaks just Buzz off!

[Elsie]

The RCC, guided by the Holy Spirit, defined the Cannon.(sic) but ROME added to it with TRADITION!

[Elsie]

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Matthew 6:7 KJV
“But when ye pray, USE NOT VAIN REPETITIONS, as the heathen do.”

[Elsie]

Words mean things.

Call no man father...

[Elsie]

I have; but the youngsters today know it only as a BANNED!!! book.

It contains the word that only a certain type of person can utter without repercussions.

[Elsie]

...the power which she wields over one who is God ...

This kinda got lost among all them thar other words...

the power which she wields over one who is God

[Elsie]

Maccabees was established as part of canon by the 4th and 5th century

So; it was NOT something that the Apostles preached on and taught; right?

[metmom]

So was the RCC guided by the Holy spirit when they elected Francis as pope?

[Elsie]

...Judas...

Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin.

O...K...

At the very heart of the Christian system lies the all-important doctrine of the Atonement. The Apostle Paul, himself an advocate of “sound doctrine,” in a condensed statement of what the Christian Church believes, said,

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures (I Corinthians 15:3, 4).

Surely somewhere in Scripture CHRIST can be found praying for DEAD people; can't HE?

Luke 16:19-31   Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

 

¹⁹ There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day.

²⁰ And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,

²¹ Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and licked his sores.

²² And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell.

²³ And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom:

²⁴ And he cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.

²⁵ And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.

²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.

²⁷ And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house, for I have five brethren,

²⁸ That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.

²⁹ And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

³⁰ But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.

³¹ And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.

[Elsie]

According to St. Bonaventure, all the angels in heaven unceasingly call out to her: "Holy, holy, holy Mary, Virgin Mother of God."

 

It appears he assigned great powers to her!!

 

 

Bonaventure: …the gates of heaven will open to all who confide in the protection of Mary. Blessed are they who know thee, O Mother of God, for the knowledge of THEE is the high road to everlasting life, and the publication of thy virtues is the way of ETERNAL SALVATION . Give ear, O ye nations; and all you who desire heaven , serve, honor Mary, and certainly you will find ETERNAL LIFE.

She says, "He that shall find Me shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord.   "Qui me invenerit, inveniet vitam, et hauriet salutem a Domino."

 

 

Listen," exclaims St. Bonaventure on these words, "listen, all you who desire the kingdom of God: honor the most Blessed Virgin Mary, and you will find life and eternal salvation."  "Audite qui ingredi cupitis regnum Dei: Virginem Mariam honorate, et invenietis vitam et salutem perpetuam."-psalt. B.V.ps.48.

What breathtaking blasphemy

Ya think??

“The Catholic Church has always and with justice put all her hope and trust in the Mother of God.”

(Leo XIII: Encyclical, Supreme Apostolatus, September 1, 1883.) — [p. 32, no. 104]

 

 

 

“... Yet our manner of praying to the Blessed Virgin has something in common with our worship of God so that the Church even addressed to her the words with which we pray to God: ‘Have mercy on sinners.’”

(Leo XIII: Encyclical, Augustissimae, September 12, 1897.) [p. 68; no. 302]

[Elsie]

I never noticed that before!

I would have done the same; as I thought (unlike some passwords) that UC/LC made no difference in screen names on FR.

[Elsie]

I'm just the messenger of what a famous Catholic whose grave is visited by Popes says about Mary.

WOW!

Hearsay and appeal to authority all wrapped up together!
