  • OK, in this thread, suppose you are given an other chance to live with this difference that this time you can choose the way you want it to be. ie. you can choose your gender, appearence, century, parents and what you want to happen to you etc.
    know write it like a biography.

  • Here mine:

    I was born in 13th century Spain, adopted by a couple who's marriage is a josephite marriage to be their child. I receive visions from a very young age. I am given the gift of innocence till death. My childhood is spent in beautiful meadows with an antique church near them. Then before I see my old age, I am martyred by some Jєω.

    Now let us see your's.

  • Ah, Spain in such an era!  Well, for those who are weary of these days (and I cannot blame anyone for such), they shall soon be renewed - and, in some ways, be MORE glorious than the Age of Faith. HARD to believe, I know, but true.  I hope to see you on the other side of this present darkness. Hold on, pray, and trust Our Lady of Good Success of the Purification!

  • It is mystical gift, by which one can refrain from all food and drink (except the Eucharist) without losing his life or health.

  • Not eating or drinking would make normal interaction with other people very hard.  Look how many stories from the Gospel involve food and drink: it is essential to normal life.  Whatever I might desire to be, being REALLY different from my fellow men is not something I would desire.  I would gladly accept it from God, but would not seek it.  God speed.

  • Spouse of Jesus,

    If your gifts are for real and you seek to become a saint, then the first lesson in being a saint is humility. The saints never talked about their gifts publicly - out of humility they tried to keep it hidden. It is a form of pride to publicize your gifts. I know that you didn't feel pride in telling us your gifts, but it stilll is contrary to the virtue of humility.

    P.S. I do not possess humility myself but, since you show signs of desiring sainthood so much, I wanted to help you out to reach that goal. But the first step to sainthood is humility and you can't progress any further if you don't master this virtue.

  • Alex,

    You realize, of course, that Spouse of Jesus is talking about gifts she wishes she possessed -- not those she actually does. You need to read the OP (original post) to see what this thread is about.

  • I am a contemporary American with an awesome Guardian Angel who speaks to me sometimes.  I am living in West Virginia with my very patient husband.  His rich Aunt has left him $6 million.  We have 3 biological children, and have adopted eight more.  Two are Ethiopian, 3 are from El Salvador, and the other three we rescued from abortion clinics.  We did this using a series of highly sophisticated martial arts and special training - nobody was hurt.  We operate a network of baby rescuers and have expert but humble people who are wizards at forging docuмentation.

    My husband has enough medical and military training to cause temporary amnesia, safely deliver the baby and get out.  

    Recently we have purchased a cave beneath the city of Paris, formerly a hiding place for Catholics in the Reign of Terror.  It has a tiny chapel.   Our Ethiopian son has a vocation to the Holy priesthood.

  • Lol, DeMaistere. Perhaps you could have surpassed Ludwig Van Beethoven. Elizabeth, I like yours; that would be cool if you and your husband could do all that stuff.

    Now mine. I would be born male, a purebread Irishman, at the same time I was born, just when the internet came to be. I would be born poor, my father but a lowly salesman. We would at the beginning of life be moving around a lot. I would make very few friends, but I would be very interested and curious about everything that goes on around me. My father would eventually convert to Traditional Catholicism, and so would the rest of my family. I would be an only child, and so I would be lonely. I would not receive a formal education, but would be taught by my mother. She would encourage me to pursue whatever I was interested in. As I got older, I would think more about death and come closer to Christ. I would also go to the library frequently, reading whatever it is that I find interesting. When I was about, say, 18 years old, I would write a fiction novel that becomes a best seller, and I would have an income that would set me for life. Looking back on my life, I would realize that I wanted to have a good, big, catholic family that stayed put in one spot, and would be far away from the evils of the world. Later, I would meet a girl that shared my beliefs, and we would build a house out in the woods in Wisconsin, with a Catholic Church within walking distance. I would raise 8 or so children, because I knew what it felt to be an only child. I would personally educate them in the ways of Christ, so that I may give to Him saints. I would write books, both fiction and nonfiction, invent things, study philosphy, write music, or even sketch. And then, as I lay dying, I would have my entire family around me as I lay on my death bed, and during my last breath, I would have the privelage of seeing the Holy Family appear standing over me.

    In regards to being a responsible man, would it be interesting to learn, after six years of accuмulating all the wisdom you could, that you had it right all alon

  • Lybus, your post is a beautiful novel in itself.
    You ought to make a book or a movie out of it!
