Typo.................

If "IT'S BETTER IN LATIN" then why not show it in Latin?

In case any readers of this thread might be interested in some Marian understanding that H.H. is somehow lacking, look no further than the Canticle of the Blessed Virgin, which see. In this is the sum of ancient Scripture before the Gospel and revelation of Jesus, and it embodies the contemplation of Our Lady who had just been given a lot to think about, approximately 10 weeks prior to its announcement at her Visitation to her cousin Elizabeth.

. MAGNIFICAT
(CANTIcuм B. MARIAE VIRG. AD VESPERAS)

MAGNIFICAT anima mea Dominum:
et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo, salutari meo.
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae:
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est:
et sanctum nomen eius.
Et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies
timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in bracchio suo:
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede,
et exaltavit humiles.
Esurientes implevit bonis:
et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israel, puerum suum,
recordatus misericordiae suae.
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros,
Abraham et semini eius in saecula.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper,
et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

This prayer, composed by Our Lady and known in Sacred Tradition as the Canticle of the Blessed Virgin, is found in many places throughout the liturgical year, and in at least 9 different musical arrangements, not including the variations that occur at times where portions are used and with different grammar to reflect the specific occasion and application of the respective segment in use.

One could say it's a condensed and seed form of the Old Testament, as it were the ultra-short Cliff Notes version of the OT. When St. Luke says "she pondered these things in her heart," we ought to see that it takes a whole lot of 'pondering' to condense what was then all of Scripture into 89 Latin words. In like manner, the Third Secret of Fatima will have the essential summary of our modern age in 26 lines of Portuguese.

If you think it's "too much" or whatever, I'll have you know: there are thousands of protestants in the world today who have this Latin prayer memorized, as you see it above (although I haven't heard them memorizing any of the variations that occur throughout the year). Are you going to let the protestants show you up?

N.B. You can most easily put your best foot forward with the Gloria Patri at the end, because Prots don't include that Catholic prayer. They say it's "too Catholic." (Uhhh... and the rest above it isn't????????)

Quote from: OHCA

Do you think Billy Graham is dead? I think he is still living.

Sorry, my mistake! You're correct, he's still living. Therefore, HE STILL HAS A CHANCE!!

Notify poche immediately!!

The family asks for our prayers:

Quote

Graham has been in a weakened condition since his 95th birthday party Nov. 7, but his vital signs are still strong, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association spokesman Mark DeMoss said Sunday.

STORY: Rev. Billy Graham 'extremely weak'; son asks for prayers
STORY: Evangelist Billy Graham, 95, released from hospital

"People keep saying different things, some good and some not so good," said DeMoss. "But he's about the same. I think everybody's intentions are good. The family members want everybody to pray for Mr. Graham, and I understand that."

His salvation hangs in the balance -- all he's got to do is abjure his error and become Catholic, and offer his daily cross to God as penance in reparation for his sins.

So he could use our prayers. We ought to all say a prayer for Billy Graham.

And forget my silly jokes above. I was out of line. Sorry.

.Hey, poche, since H.H. is all about conversion of sinners and salvation of souls, what do you suppose he would say to Billy Graham? And would you approve?

His Humbleness would encourage and embolden Mr. Graham in his heresy in true "who am I to judge" fashion, thereby foresaking Mr. Graham's poor soul to damnation, meanwhile drawing fanfare of conciliarists, heretics, infidels, pagans, jews, fαɢɢօts, and assorted other liberals, modernists, and neo-cons, in his "aw-shucks" calculated grandstand rock-star egotistical manner, all the while emboldening all who are on their paths to hell, and sending the message to conciliarists and other weak Catholics that perhaps fαɢɢօtry, heresy, etc "can't we all just get along" bullshit excuses for human beings are as good as being Catholic and adhering to and following TRUE Catholicism.

Pray for the conversion of Mr. Graham and His Humbleness. Perhaps two miracles may be simultaneously granted, one as shocking as the other. But never doubt the power or the ways of the Lord.
