  • Are these two flags up for the weekend or the whole month?  Both are mounted in construction equipment so I'd assume the equipment can't be out of use for very long.  Wouldn't it be nice if they were mounted on the ground permanently.

    The Bavarian Waste website says:


    Quote
    Each month in the Catholic Church is dedicated to a particular devotion and doctrine of faith. As our way of proclaiming our faith, we fly a different flag each month that represents the devotion of that month. 

    Come back each month to see what flag we are flying and why!

    Pretty cool that they're doing this. (The Parable of the Talents comes to mind, not sure whether it's an exact application.) How many people drive along that interstate every day and could possibly be drawn closer to God by seeing these flags and beginning to ask questions.
    Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you, all things pass away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things. He who has God finds he lacks nothing; God alone suffices. - St. Teresa of Jesus

  • EXCLUSIVE: Here is the company flying that enormous Sacred Heart flag

    Bavarian Waste, a fifth-generation family business in Kentucky, says that its core mission is to promote the reign of Christ the King throughout society.

    (LifeSiteNews) — A video of the largest Sacred Heart flag in the world went viral on social media this week.
    TradFlags.com, which sold the 30 feet tall by 50 feet wide flag to Bavarian Waste in Walton, Kentucky, collected footage of the event on a drone. Popular website Sensus Fidelium then uploaded the video to its YouTube account.


    On Thursday, June 6, I spoke with the owner of Bavarian to learn about his Catholic faith and what compelled him to purchase the flag in the first place.
    James Brueggemann is 64 years old. His family has operated Bavarian since 1901. Initially a trucking operation, it survived the Great Depression and evolved from a freight hauling business into a waste disposal company.
    “Jim” currently runs the 63-person company as its president. Seven of his eight sons work for him in various capacities, as do many Catholics who live near Walton, which is about 25 miles south of Cincinnati, Ohio.
    “Our core mission at Bavarian, a fifth-generation family business, is to promote the reign of Christ the King throughout society,” their website reads. “By our dedication to serving God and country, we keep the best interests of our employees, our customers, and our community at heart in our waste disposal and landfill operations.”
     
    Among other things, Bavarian provides dumpsters and has contracts with commercial as well as residential properties. Brueggemann explained that he wanted to erect the flag on company property to commemorate June as the month of the Sacred Heart. He said he plans on updating the flag each month as part of a new tradition.
    On Friday, May 31, more than 600 Catholics attended the ceremony, which featured fireworks and food. It was overseen by Fr. Stephen Stanich, who serves as the prior at the nearby Our Lady of the Assumption Church. The church is operated by the Traditionalist Priestly Society of St. Pius X. More than five priests are assigned to the chapel, where they teach and offer multiple daily Masses.
    Stanich blessed the flag and rededicated the company to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The first time that occurred was in 1990 under Jim’s dad, Bernie. When you visit Bavarian’s website, a pop-up ad appears explaining that “the Sacred Heart of Jesus symbolizes His infinite love and mercy towards humanity.”
    Brueggemann explained that thousands of Catholic families have moved to the area in recent years, causing a housing boom and prompting the church to launch a $40 million fundraising campaign to expand its K-12 boys’ school. An SSPX-affiliated teaching order of Dominican nuns operate an all-female academy across the street. A groundbreaking for the project was held last week. Click here to learn more.


    Brueggemann is optimistic the school will meet its goal and that Bavarian will continue to serve the needs of the Walton area under the protection of the Sacred Heart

  • Hope you don't mind. I capitalized your "G." :laugh1:

    Well, doesn't work on the main title, only on the reply title.
    Heh.  I noticed the @ symbol.  I remember when I was in 7th grade, my English teacher dinged me for using that for the word "at" in a report I typed. :laugh1: He said that is the wrong usage of the symbol.  He also told me that he thought I just liked using that key (these were the days of typewriters!).  It certainly made an impression on me so, ever since, I am careful of when I use it!

    It's also nice to see how much coverage this is getting. Good will is not dead yet! (only hemorrhaging :smirk:)

    That's hilarious. The things we keep with us from school! I'll never forget in college I had a public speaking class. I was beyond shy. It was pathology. Why did I even take that class?! It finally came time to present a case for one side of a debate, and I froze up at the podium. The professor yelled at me in a very angry tone, in front of the whole class. I can't remember his words, but it was pretty much like, "Oh no you don't! You are going to perform! NOW!" 

    And he became my greatest benefactor. He broke the horrible spell, and I DID perform. If he had coddled me, and let me get away with it, I would never have gotten over my malady.

    :laugh1:  Or the typical student request, "Can I go to the bathroom?" And the teacher's response, "I don't know, can you?"

  • Much as I like to analyse strange language usages...
    Back on track...

    The plan is to raise a flag for each month, so for July a flag to honour the Precious Blood of Jesus.
    Help of Christians, guard our land from assault or inward stain,
    Let it be what God has planned, His new Eden where You reign.

    +RIP 2024

    Yeah.  My apologies for veering off topic.

    This sounds like a great idea.

  • Not sure if this is correct, but in prayer I had a sense of this June being calmer in terms of the perversity assaults. 

    It seems to me that the Catholics were on the assault this time, and both the flags and the billboards all over the land have had an effect. 

    How could such a strong public witness not please the Sacred Heart?

    I hope we keep up the momentum, and continue to use these great means of testifying the truth.

    Also should we not have had the pre election rioting in the streets by now? Of course the summer is still young. 

    Does anyone else share this sense of a slight change?

  • And another thought: the Bergoglio Vatican has taken the worldwide lead in promoting perversity. Great leaps and bold strides. Absolute insolence and brash flaunting of its corruption. 

    Has this not backfired? Has it not amounted to the last straw for much of the human race, no matter the diversity of creeds and worldviews? Doth not a bunch of decrepit fαɢɢօts parading around as prelates simply disgust natural common sense?

    They have made a blunder, I think. They think they are right on time, but I think they may be out of time. 

    Politicians pushing this filth better watch out. The people have had it.

    Again, I could be so very wrong. 

    Back in the sixties,
    the apostate clergy had immense agency power to corrupt faith and morals. But it seemeth not so now. This power seemeth now to finally be in a state of reversal, whereby we may hope soon to see the opposite effects. Please God.

  • In Canada things were much calmer this June.  News channels didn't cover the parades and politicians were conspicuous  by their absence.
