When I was in school, a "B+" was a 92 and an "A-" was a 93-95. What was considered an A when you were in school?
The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared on 1917 to three Portuguese children: Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta. From May 13th to October 13th she appeared six times in the little village of Fatima, Portugal. World War I or The Great War as it was known at the time, was ongoing, leaving devastation across Europe. Our Lady of Fatima came at this pivotal time telling the children that peace was possible if people would heed her warnings. Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta were reared in faithful Catholic homes, in a town that remained faithful to the Church amidst persecution from the government. Lucia de Jesus Santos was the youngest of seven children. Her first cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, likewise were devout children from a large family. Through the apparitions of our Lady, the children grew in holiness and wisdom that belied their young age. Francisco and Jacinta both died a few years later, as our Lady had informed them, while Lucia lived to be 97 years old. Pope Francis canonized Jacinta and Francisco on May 13th, 2017, in Fatima on the 100th anniversary of the apparitions. The Miracle of the Sun occurred on October 13th, 1917, witnessed by 70,000 people. Our Lady of Fatima had told the children of the date and place it would occur. All could look directly at the sun without any injury to their eyes. The sun grew in size, shrunk, rotated and spun, looking as if it were dancing. Even non-Catholics and unbelievers witnessed their miracles, and many immediately were converted to God and asked for forgiveness for their sins. The Church through the local bishop declared the apparitions worthy of belief in October of 1930. catholicnovenaapp.com/novenas/our-la…
Loukas is a non believer. How he sees the next 3 months going in a very specific pattern is insane to me.
@shagbark_hick Property is cheap where you are, so buy the church when it closes and some other poperty and gift it to an order of monks or friars to set up a new monastary.
@shagbark_hick We Catholics need to plan together and move places together. Thats really the best move. A community of devout Catholics making the choice to move to a spot that can be salvaged together. I joined my parish’s KofC. Mostly older gents, but we have about 6 of us younger guys
Someone in America needs to start a men's only gym chain. As a Catholic man that needs to lift and do cardio for physical and mental health, it's a war to keep custody of my eyes every single time. Women do not wear appropriate clothing. It's gross.
Today is Monday, but at Mass you will hear Sunday’s Mass again. Why? Because today is a feria: a weekday with no feast taking precedence. On ferias, the Mass is taken from the previous Sunday. On privileged ferias, especially in Lent and Advent, the day has its own proper Mass.
