Christian Unity Octave - Day 3

ANTIPHON: That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, in me and I in Thee; that they also may be one in Us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent me.

V. I say unto thee, thou art Peter; R. And upon this rock I will build my Church.

For the return of the Anglicans to the authority of the Vicar of Christ.

Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, who saidst unto Thine Apostles: Peace I leave you, My peace I give to you; regard not our sins, but the faith of Thy Church, and grant unto her that peace and unity which are agreeable to Thy Will; Who livest and reignest ever, one God, world without end. Amen.

****

I have not kept up on the  situation with the Anglicans. I've heard that some have come home, and that some others have women bishops. This is an important group; Merrie Olde Englande has been lost for too long, and it is time that we get them back. 

Christian Unity Octave - Day 1

Today begins the Octave of Christian Unity. Let's start with a prayer:

****


ANTIPHON: That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, in me and I in Thee; that they also may be one in Us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent me.

V. I say unto thee, thou art Peter; R. And upon this rock I will build my Church.

 For the return of the "other sheep" to the One Fold of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, who saidst unto Thine Apostles: Peace I leave you, My peace I give to you; regard not our sins, but the faith of Thy Church, and grant unto her that peace and unity which are agreeable to Thy Will; Who livest and reignest ever, one God, world without end. Amen.

****

All right, now let's make some sacrifice throughout the day. You've got one? Good. Offer it up for reunification with our sundered brethren.

Now let's take a look at what this Octave is.

It is NOT an ecumenical meet-the-others-halfway and sing Kum-ba-ya. We will not sit in a circle and each of us tell the group something interesting about our religions, and leave the meeting with a warm feeling but having accomplished nothing but looking like an idiot for the whole world to laugh. By doing that we lower our Faith to the level of the alii, the others.

What we mean by Christian Unity is bluntly; for the heretics to open their eyes to the error of their ways and seek the Truth in the Catholic Church. THAT is Christian Unity.

Some might say Catholics, in doing this, want to have their cake and eat it too. You know what? They are right on that, because they've got it wrong with God.

This week let's all especially strive to live as witnesses for Christ and to spread His message throughout the world.

Gone Fish-......Hunting

Hey y'all! I'll be up at 4:30 AM tomorrow to get get me some deer jerky! If I get anything I'll put up some pictures. In the meantime, say a prayer to St. Hubert and Bl. Francis Xavier Seelos that I see one. Shoot it. Kill it. Find it. Gut it. Freeze it. Eat it. And don't get food poisoning.


I've learned the hard way that when you say "Dear Lord, let me shoot a deer", He'll pull out His sense of humor and let you shoot as many deer as you want. You still have to kill them- and then find them ;)

God is specific. Be specific in your prayers and He will listen. He might say no but He still wants us to be specific.

Before I get off on another unrelated (even if it is a wholesome and holy) topic I'll bid you good night and get some sleep. God Bless. :)
