that Jesus showed us how to handle this situation i.e. the illuminati trampling of Catholic gov't. But now I wonder. Just what did He tell/show us?

Many things:

1. Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's and to God what belongs to God

2. Be wise as serpents and as gentle as doves.

3. You shall know a tree by its fruits.

4. Don't fear him that can kill the body, rather fear Him who can thrown both body and soul into Gehenna.

5. Don't worry about what you are to eat or the clothes you are to wear. See how God provides for the lilies of the field? Seek you first the Kingdom of God and all shall be given unto you.

And, last but not least, my all-time favorite:

6. Let he who thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall.

Our Lord gave us at least two warnings that I hold on to:

The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, Chapter 24
"21 For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. 22 And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say to you: Lo here is Christ, or there, do not believe him. 24 For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. 25 Behold I have told it to you, beforehand."

The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, chapter 16
"18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven."

So we know from Our Lord Jesus that our church will survive to the end, and that a remnant will be saved. Now it is up to us to live our lives as close to Holiness as possible to be part of the remnant.

Good, good, and thanks. I can add to that: walk the extra mile. I read somewhere that that came from the Romans habit of grabbing someone and making them carry their stuff. It made the Hebrews mad, but Jesus said to do it and walk an extra mile, too.

What more is apropos to this?

Alexandria said all mine!

I'll go find some new ones.

Be back!

I hope I don't steal your thunder here, Myrna, but I just thought of another one.

Rejoice when they persecute you and think all manner of evil against you. Your reward is great in heaven.

Also that the world will hate you.

Trinity · « **Reply #7 on:** July 05, 2010, 07:56:27 PM »

I'm going to take DMorgan up on his cites. Are you saying that the one who holds out to the end, the same shall be saved?

Alexandria · « **Reply #8 on:** July 05, 2010, 07:58:59 PM »

That reminds me of this one:

If you were of the world the world would love you.

Trinity · « **Reply #9 on:** July 05, 2010, 08:09:17 PM »

In this context would that mean that the world (illuminati) would not have destroyed Catholic gov't if it were of the world? One sign that it is not of the world is the world's destruction of it?

MyrnaM · « **Reply #10 on:** July 05, 2010, 08:24:44 PM »

I better hurry and get these up, before I have no thunder!
:roll-laugh2: Just kidding there are so many good ones, enough for everyone who looks.

"Now the Lord is the spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is FREEDOM". . . Where's Belloc? :smile:

The freedom that Christ gives has nothing to do with the Freedom the Mason's of America shout about.
His is freedom from sin and the bondage of Satan.
The freedom they shout about all over the world is Satan's. And, that is freedom to whatever one chooses to do, no matter who gets hurt.

MyrnaM · « **Reply #12 on:** July 06, 2010, 08:12:54 AM »

Yes, Dawn, and that is the freedom I celebrate.

Not doing well today, my grandchild's friend was killed in Reno yesterday, he was riding his bike and a police car hit him. He was 21. You won't see much of me today!
It is on the front page of the Reno newspaper. www.rgj.com

I hope you all have a better day! Blessings!

He was not Catholic, in fact nothing. Another of my granddaughters (age17) Baptised him while he was considered brain dead. I don't know if that did anything for his soul or not. This is the part that is tearing me apart.

true-what some fail to realize and apparently, are not interested in looking into is how was USA founded and by whom....bad tree/rotten fruit...

know a guy that denounces the French Revolution, but loudly cheered the USA one the other day on FB...complete disconnect....

Myrna, sorry to hear about that young person.....

So sorry Myrna. Yes, it is sad indeed.
