Glory be to God for this reflection on the Holy Ministerial Priesthood & the priesthood of the laity. A great reminder of vocation as priest not occupation. Our priests need our prayers everyday. They are “on call” 24/7. A blessing to us all!
Thank you for the inspiring podcast! Just want to say that our Archdiocese has many holy and inspiring young priests - hope of the Church - and the world!
One country eats pasta, smokes, and gets in dangerous cars and has dirty air, and has good old world type fellas who get up into their 60's and 70's, and another land has no dangerous vehicles, does not smoke, has a clean sky, and eats natural food found out in the wild, and has tribal elders reaching 60 and 70. I figure if the tribe is living like they did one hundred thousand years ago and dying at fifty or 60, then the futuristic modern guys living 100,000 years later, with that much advancement having taken place, should be living, on average, to about 165 or two or 300, maybe 500, or 1000.
Your wakefulness fades into your sleep, and in your sleep you got stages, the rem stage, etc., and thus stages are natural, in the real world. So being awake has stages of awareness too, and not just one degree of consciousness and normal experience, and like you have a dream and no dream in your sleep, you have a life and no life, an existence and no existence, an awareness and no awareness, while wide awake also. Wakefulness fades into a stage of sleep, and that stage fades into a stage, so it is stages that fade into stages, and therefore since wakefulness fades into a stage, wakefulness is a stage, and since stages fade out of stages that are in the same realm as them, then in the realm of wakefulness, that stage of wakefulness that fades into the first sleep stage, faded out of another stage of wakefulness. So sometimes when you're awake you have no existence, and as you are aware you are not alive, and sometimes while you are awake you have no past.
This is from some addiction recovery literature: "We forgot how to work; we forgot how to play; we forgot how to express ourselves and how to show concern for others." I read it before but didn't notice, at least not as much as I do now, since I began reading Chesterton and Pieper, that the word play is in it or that a reference to rest is not.
Saint after Saint has told us the main target of Satan is the Catholic Priest. All the faithful need to pray for all priests everyday. It is our duty says Blessed Virgin Mary. Lord Jesus, you have chosen Your priests among us and have sent them to proclaim Your Word and to act in Your Name. For such a great gift to Your Church, we praise You and we thank You. We ask that you fill them with the fire of Your love, that their ministry may reveal Your presence in the Church. Since they are earthen vessels, we pray that your power may work in their weakness. In their afflictions do not let them be crushed; in their doubts, do not let them despair; in temptation, do not let them be destroyed. Inspire them through prayer to live each day the mystery of your death and Resurrection. In times of weakness, send them Your Spirit and help them to praise your heavenly Father and to pray for poor sinners. With the same Holy Spirit place your word on their lips and your love in their hearts, that they may bring the Good News to the poor and revive the broken-hearted. Lastly, may the gift of Mary, your mother, to the disciple whom you loved, be your gift to every priest. Grant that she, who formed You in your human image, may form each priest in Your divine image, through the power of Your Spirit, to the glory of God the Father. Amen. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
If a man cannot do two opposing things at once, then he can't be in two different places at the same time, and thus cannot be a man, the mind, separate from a man, the body, and therefore all his ails that are from the physical world are from the mental land. Is he a miracle in a mirror? If a hard or pointy object can strike and poke a dead body roughly as well as sharply, and that body not feel pain, then obviously objects striking objects is not where pain comes from and what causes pain.
The tiny air-borne sickness gets in the dead body, and the body doesn't get a head ache and stomach ache, so it can't be the thing in the air that makes things sick, and hence that little thing isn't the sickness.
If avoiding reality is a real thing, then it is reality, so why avoid it? If words are man made, then they are not reality, and in that case, ayn rand's focusing on her words, her thinking or saying "don't avoid reality," is her avoiding reality. I can only be avoiding air by not being in it. You can only avoid reality by not being in it. If consequences are real, then they are reality. So if you can avoid reality you can avoid consequences. If avoiding reality isn't reality, then it is imaginary, and if reality, not superman, causes things, results, consequences. then avoiding reality cannot cause anything, any consequences. Reality is dangerous, hellish, religious, not safe, logic and enlightenment. Reality is messy, foolish, an idiot, christianity, not neat and stable and smart, math.
My words are brainless, from the rock and wind and creationism, the brainless. My thoughts are senseless. So they are from that which doesn't make sense, from a living dead devil.

An eye is natural. So one eye is needed for nature. Two eyes on a face looks abnormal and weird. Two eyes? What is nature, a mirror?
