Title: Ask the Next Person A Question Game
Post by: s2srea on August 17, 2013, 10:24:50 AM
OP posts a question (which I will do in the next post). The next person who replies answers the question, and then asks a question of their own. The next poster replies to that question, and then posts a question of their own. And so on.

Favorite movie? I don't know that I have one. Maybe if I ask myself, "What movie have I watched more than a dozen times?" I'd have to say the original "Star Wars".

Most movies aren't even worth a single watch. And even the rare ones that are, I'm usually "good" after watching it once.  I'd rather be creating content than consuming it.

What is the most profound statement you ever heard?


"There are two sorts of people: those who in life say to God "Thy will be done;" and those who at the Judgment hear from God "thy will be done" - meaning, those who abandon themselves to conformity to the Will of God and all that this entails, and those who do their own will in turning away from God, for which they reprobate themselves unto eternal damnation; the sentence of hell is only a continuation of the sinner's obstinate and unrepentant will after death.

I've explained this before, but never fully. The "s2s" portion of my name stands for the name of a 'band' I was in in high school; we called ourselves, "Sight 2 See." :facepalm: "rea" stands for my initials, my first name being, "Richard". Its a username I've used since then, and never really gotten away from.

There are several reasons to dislike it as well, I might add. Namely, the distance from Mass.

My favorite kind of bread is the kind that becomes Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  Since I know you weren't asking about that, my favorite bread for plain eating is freshly baked white or wheat bread just out of the oven. Smear on a little homemade butter.  Delicious!

They were founded by Eileen O'Connor whose body was found to be incorrupt when the coffin was opened at a funeral parlour not far from where I lived. Sadly they are not what they were.

I'd like 10 responses by way of a little experiment.

Mine is of sitting on a portable potty in the back of our "bat-mobile" 1958 Chevy station wagon while watching Moses(Charlton Heston) part the red sea.  I was about 16 mos. old.  It was at a "drive-in" movie.

BTW - a wood chuck would chuck as much wood as his instincts would lead him to chuck.

I don't recommend drinking since it hurts your liver and kills brain cells.  And can lead to you drooling all over yourself when you are old.  Don't do things that negatively effect the brain, and the brain effects everything else.  Preventive maintenance you know.  The liver is pretty important as well.  And why enter into occasions of sin or break the 5th Commandment by having low regard for your body?

I personally do not think so: though his agenda was manufactured by political psychopaths here in the USA (though it can trace its ultimate ancestry to Marx, Lenin, Mao, Luther, Satan, &c.). I remember when he was running for the Democratic nomination for the 2004 elections, black activists were very vocal about him not being one of them because he did not descend from the slaves shipped from Africa to the colonies. Even now I hear comments like, "Clinton was way more of a brotha' [i.e., male black peer] President than Barack is." Of course, Barack is not President at all, just a wannabe pinko dictator who bullies around the Congress for socialist agendae and meddlesome, Zionist-serving foreign policy...

Post by: John on September 27, 2013, 09:05:47 PM
I am a union sheet metal worker and had been working various odd jobs while waiting for things to "pick up" down here in Southern California since being laid off (2 years). I halfheartedly prayed about it... halfheartedly because I knew I was in a state of mortal sin, being "remarried" and figured that it was thus wrong of me to pray because it was sacrilege, knowing that I was in that state and knowing that I was abominable to God for that reason.

As I found the true Traditional faith and devoted myself and my children to the Holy Mass, meanwhile dissolving this invalid and adulterous "marriage", within weeks I started going to a weekly rosary, (which I still go to) and my employment state was mentioned, we added it to our list of intentions before the rosary.

Within days, someone on my son's soccer team which I coach, struck up a conversation and put me in touch with the owner of the company they work for which does something not very different from what I am trained to do and I have been working there ever since.

The only thing I can't figure out is why Our Blessed Lady and Our Lord would want me there at this particular company. The place is teeming with very active protestants and I am in various points of ongoing conversations/debates with them about the Catholic Church. I believe that could be why. ....

****side note----They also blast country music on the radio (which is exceptionally banal and very impure ...3 out of 5 songs are about immodesty, impurity,  fornication,...)

Maybe I can be an instrument through which they all find the true faith? I will keep answering their questions and defending Our Lady!

More importantly, during this time, my children had obviously fallen away from the faith and had been becoming worldly and I was losing control of them and had spiritually abandoned them. They are now very enthusiastic about going to mass, confession, etc. We sometimes stay for two masses on Sundays and go to first Fridays and most Saturdays.

I pray that those here who don't have mass near them will get one soon!

Question:
What is the most providential thing you've experienced, that you are willing to discuss with others?

I had taken up the chaplet of St. Michael prayers, for those who are not familiar with them they are the ones with this description:

"The history of this Chaplet goes back to a devout Servant of God, Antonia d'Astonac, who had a vision of St. Michael. He told Antonia to honor him by nine salutations to the nine Choirs of Angels. St. Michael promised that whoever would practice this devotion in his honor would have, when approaching Holy Communion, an escort of nine angels chosen from each of the nine Choirs. In addition, for those who would recite the Chaplet daily, he promised his continual assistance and that of all the holy angels during life."

I prayed the prayers, but did not have any beads for them. It was my habit to simply pray them without.

One day I felt quite unworthy of the promises of the chaplet, I said to myself, "What if all these angels are helping me, and wasting their time, better spent elsewhere, since I am praying it and gaining this promise?" I do not want them to be wasting their time with me.

After mass that day I went up to the Communion rail, and knelt down before the sanctuary and offered up the promises back to God, saying, if God wished it, let the angels take care of other folks who have a better need for them, do not let them be obligated to be with me because of the promises. I give them back to Him.

I prayed for a time and stood up to leave, and a person had came down the aisle and said someone wished to speak to me. The person directed me to the back of the church, taking me to meet a woman there in a wheelchair. They said some things that confused me a little, trying to reassure me somehow, and giving me to understand she was someone who was sometimes told things by Our Lord. Then she said, she was told, she wanted me to understand she was told to give me this, and she gave me a string of beads --

It was a chaplet of St. Michael.

I will add I had not mentioned to anyone else I practiced this devotion, no one on earth knew of it. And too, the church I went to at the time, is called St. Michael's. Has a statue of him out front.

So St. Michael and the angels will still specially help even truly worthless folks like this one.

I was truly surprised by it and will never forget it. I still have those beads. And so I truly recommend to folks praying the chaplet of St. Michael. Hopefully this story will help folks to realize it's good to take up, and the promises are not going away. They're still fulfilled today, and if you wish to honor the angels and make your life on earth happier by making Heaven happier, there is the chaplet of St. Michael.

It's one of those special devotions, like the 15 Prayers of St. Bridget, which I was given once during Eucharistic Adoration and which had its own Providential story.

I'll ask the question again, since it's a good one:

What is the most providential thing you've experienced, that you are willing to discuss with others?

Thank you shin, I just printed the prayers out, the month of Oct. would be a good month, dedicated to the rosary and also the angels.

My story began 14 years ago when my grandson died of Rocky Mountain Fever from the bite of a tic, the grief was overwhelming because of my own grief and watching my son-in-law and daughter grieving as well.  He was only 3 years old and died very suddenly in the hospital, where the doctors misdiagnosed him.  
After about a month or so, of crying and grieving, even though we knew he was with God since he was Baptised and Confirmed.  I still could not stand the pain of his loss.  One day while my husband was driving us back from an outing and I was sitting there in the passenger seat quietly trying to fight back the tears, I looked up into the sky and saw his face etched into the clouds.  I could not believe what I saw and did not say a word to my husband since he was driving.  I looked again and there it was, and as I studied the image I noticed right above there was another image of an older Fatherly type man, just above his face.   I believe today, it was God the Father telling me that he, my grandson was with him.  After that although I still grieve for him, I felt the pain was tolerable.

I know one can see many things in the clouds, rabbits, cats, or whatever, but this was such a miracle and so perfect since to the world it was just my imagination and someone seeing things in the clouds, but to me it was a message from God.   Our Lady said she would work miracles in secret, and she did for me that day.

 :surprised:
I went to confession during my first year a Catholic, because I realized I'd forgotten about a certain grave sin in my general confession several weeks before.  (This happened frequently the first few years a trad. Catholic.  I'd suddenly remember sins from the past 45 years that remained unconfessed.)  I wasn't sure how to confess it, or exactly which sins they were.  In my early 20s, at University,  I unwittingly became involved with several unscrupulous people. I began to relate it as a story, when the priest stopped me and named each sin, and my degree of guilt.  He gave the number of individuals, their sexes, ages, vocations in life.  He also told me the exact month, year, location, and amount of money, down to the penny.  I was so stunned, I fell silent.  Fr. had to ask if there was anything else.  He seemed unaware that he'd said anything unusual.  I received absolution and had to say some prayers and make a small amount of restitution for my penance.  Upon later investigation, I discovered that the priest had been 10 years old and lived in another country at the time of the sin.  All but one of the others involved was dead, and I'd never told anyone, ever.  There was no natural manner in which Fr. could have known anything about it.  There may be another Padre Pio in our midst.  This priest is with the sspx at present, but I'm not sure exactly where he is stationed.

Corolla was my first car, that thing just could take anything thrown at it and keep on ticking.

January in North Country. (New York). There's something challenging about -30°F, driving in  white-out, the squeal of metal-rimmed buggy wheels in dry, powdery snow.  

BTW-  My worst car was not the Hyundai, despite the six alternators and six batteries in four years.  The unrepaired exploding gas tank 1973 Ford Pinto featured oil mileage of a quart every 30 miles, (gassed the neighbours every morning!), rust spots that matched the rust-brown color, no heat, a bad carburetor that forced one to drive it as if it were a standard without a clutch.  If you stopped, even briefly, it flooded and took 20 minutes or so to dissipate the vapor-lock.  It frequently backfired when accelerating.  But hey, I got it for free!

You know that I know where I can get some real holy water. Leave us alone or tommarow I will be back with real holy water." With that having been said, the devil departed.

St. Joan of Arc because I'm not one to believe in visions but I believe in hers.  Ever since I read Mark Twain's "Joan of Arc", I've loved & admired her.  I can even see correlations between her times & now.  It's an amazing story!!  I'd love to meet & be around her although I believe she would be just an ordinary person on the outside but hard as steel on the inside to do all the things that God wanted her to do.
