The enemy is "at our gates"... What are we going to do?
It was very cold January 17, 1871 and France was at war. Paris was besieged and the victorious Prussians were at the gates of Laval, France.... the rest of the story
Hiya TAJ - Yes, I want to learn more about Mary and the apparitions around the world. She's always telling us to pray, warning us to pray pray pray and do penance. Wish we could hear more of that from the pulpit, however, instead of the "fuzzy wuzzy" watered down stuff. Mercy w/out justice isn't mercy and justice w/out mercy isn't justice. How we need the real, holy balance!
Not 100 people in the United States hate the Roman Catholic Church, but millions hate what they mistakenly think the Roman Catholic Church is. -- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
I returned to the "First Pre-denominational Church of Christ," (as my husband brilliantly 'dubbed' it) aka: the Catholic Church in Dec. 2004, after my husband told me he wanted to go back to the "faith of his youth." The decision to swim across the Tiber has cost dearly, but has been worth it all! AND we are new grandparents of twin boys this summer, 2010!
