I am 36 years old. I live in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. I'm descendant of a immigrant of Genoa. I chose this username because Guillermus Embriacus was a merchant Genoese and military leader that who came to the assistance of the Crusader States in the aftermath of the First Crusade.

I'm single, without son and I chose celibacy.

I was baptized when I was infant.

Hello. I am a 41 year-old man who was born and raised in the Novus Ordo. I discovered Traditional Catholicism in 2015 and have not strayed away since. 

Hello, my name is Trec, I'm  a 16 year old haitian from New York and epic gamer, I'm also a Sedevacantist and found out about it around a year and a half ago and am going to be Baptized soon.

What chapel you getting Baptism at? SSPV or CMRI?

Hello,

Blessed Advent! I'm Anne, and I live in a tiny and beautiful and somewhat remote village in western Canada. It's surrounded by mountains, lakes, evergreens, fields, farms, rivers, and all sorts of flora, fauna and wildlife. There is one road in, and if that is blocked, you could still access parts of it by boat or float plane. We were recently miraculously spared from severe flooding and total devastation. (Thank-you Blessed Mother, my loving Queen!)

I love God and His Blessed Mother very much and am more Traditional Catholic than not, but my path has not been easy, straight, nor linear in keeping the Faith. Somehow Our Blessed Mother takes pity on me, and by many miracles, I am still here. I have been fighting many uphill battles by myself for many years due to an irregular family situation and past tragedies.

I am very intelligent with many things, but have great difficulty with math/abstractions, (some sort of processing deficit), and do not have the intellect to understand a lot of heavy-duty readings in terms of Theology, Philosophy, and so on, so many things will fly over my head and I will be unable to "debate you formally," or the like. Some of this has got worse due to car accidents that left permanent issues.

I do love to read, and write, but please be patient with me and choose your topics accordingly.

Indeed, my ability and gift of the Faith is much more on the level of a child that trusts, and tries to keep things simple, lest I become more confused and discouraged about keeping things straight. So like the Little Flower that was upset by certain things, I too, need to keep things more simple when it comes to reading about the Faith, and less intellectual. I also work with a deep intuition and such, and that has somehow managed to keep me out of a lot of trouble by not being too curious about many things. So I really have no interest in learning all the ins and outs of papal conclaves, Thomas Aquinas, and things like that unless you explain it to me as though I were a 5 year old hearing it for the first time and break things down into smaller parts.

Discouragement is not good for me at all, and is the complete opposite of my natural personality, so I have to be careful not become too upset, lest I give up. I am normally a very outgoing and sociable person, but geography and personal circuмstances find me without a kind and understanding confidante or friend to do some outdoor activities with or female friendship, etc. I hope to be able to remain friendly with some local villagers and bring more souls to God. (I have to be patient with many things--God will test me. One person that I prayed for took 10 years to return to the Sacraments, but I received the joy of seeing it first-hand. I have to be delicate with many things in my approach, but I am not afraid to go out of my way to help others). I am very compassionate.

I have the gift of the Faith because of an amazing mother (rest in peace, Mom), and many, many crosses keep me striving to keep it. I stumble and fall, and get back up again repeatedly, but I was told that is the difference between a sinner and a saint--the sinner will remain in the mud and just stop getting up again one day. The Saint works on staying up until the end.

My leanings are SSPX, FSSP and similar friendlies, but I do the best I can with what I have to work with locally and situation-wise also until other things in my life change again. I have had the amazing blessings of being confirmed by Archbishop Lefebvre and having had some very wonderful Priests to provide the Sacraments and encouragement, etc. I have met 3 out 4 of the Original SSPX Bishops, plus Athanasius Schneider.

I enjoy cooking and creating new dishes without recipes for my husband, and the outdoors, animals, being creative, travel, adventure, sports, and many other things. I am a homemaker at present, but really need to consider returning to employment for a variety of reasons. Again, my temperament is better with people. I do not do well by myself for extended periods of time. My husband is a good man, but even he cannot be expected to be all things to his wife :-)

I am praying for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I love to bring Our Lady flowers, blow her kisses, and to say many prayers constantly in my heart throughout the day.

I have to be somewhat anonymous because of my husband's work and also personal reasons, so I can remain free from further isolation and persecution.
God Bless you,
Anne

P.S. I will get better with this format as time goes along I hope :-) This is part of a penance I am giving myself for the remainder of Advent. 

Hi Emile,

Thank-you for the welcome.

I have been a lurker for about 2 years off and on. Our Lady finally said to me yesterday, "Yes, you need to do this." 

Somehow I wind up being told to say, "Yes," to the darndest things, but those things end up being later what people tell me they needed at that time. (And vice versa). The world is so cold and uncaring these days, and even us Catholics have to be careful we don't become "too busy," to say hello, etc. Apparently as a young toddler I was not very selective in who I greeted--telephone poles, animals, store mannequins and homeless people were all fair game. My Mother used to have to pull me along to get anywhere...

Thanks, Nadir. As soon as I figure out how to get there, ha, ha.

I made the mistake of clicking on the Help Button. "Simple Machines Software..." Uh huh, sure. Simple for whom?

 

I will be one of THE FIRST to be cut off if all goes full technology! I will be standing there with my cardboard sign asking for food.  Our dear Lord did not bless with me an engineering mind, and nor the ability to be a ballerina for pay.

I am more like Saint Joan of Arc galloping in on her horse, and when not "on-duty," I am finding ever so clever ways to injure myself or cause pain around the house. Just ask my husband what the word Klutz is defined as!   

And he never needs to worry about being "unemployed." Everything that I touch seems to have a unique way of breaking, so he has quite a few things to constantly fix. Even if I am careful (which I am), I end up with the weirdest things to test my patience!! 

If I go grocery shopping? There could be 500 carts to choose from in a row. The one I end up getting when it is my turn will have 3 good wheels, and one funky one! When the car makes weird noises? Oh, it will do those for me, but nobody else. So IF the car is making weird noises, then FOR SURE it must be fixed!

And I have only been here not even one day, and already I have had to re-type at least 5 posts or found some way to confuse myself. 

God help me if I have to do EVERYTHING "online!" I will throw my computer off a cliff and walk before I have to keep "upgrading" or adding updates! Most of them are just annoying and useless. But anyway...technology does have some benefits and good uses. 

Anne

Thanks, Nadir. As soon as I figure out how to get there, ha, ha.

Even if you try to enter you will be unable to, unless you get yourself one of those little pink circles with a + underneath which identifies you as female.

When you have that you can come in. Who knows, maybe you are a spy!
