    The misery that oppresses you lies not in your profession but in yourself! What man in the world would not find his situation intolerable if he chooses a craft, an art, indeed any form of life, without experiencing an inner calling?

    • Did you know that the 12 Days of Christmas actually originated in England during the time of persecutions there, in order to teach/spread the Faith?  I always thought that was interesting.

    It was also spread by embroidering hidden messages in lace, fabrics and things like vestments in many parts of the world.

    Victorians were well-known for their "Language of Flowers." Each kind of flower has a specific meaning, etc., so a person could assemble a bouquet of specific flowers and propose marriage, reject it, announce a friendship, grieve a death, and so on. 

    You might like looking up things like Mary Gardening. It's fun. For example, there is a legacy of Rosemary and why it is blue, and what it represents and how it got its fragrance. It was said that Our Lady would hang the clothes of the Baby Jesus up to dry, and that the herb developed its aroma because of it. It is blue because Our Lady hung them.

    It was years ago that I heard that, and haven't an exact source at the ready, but I think it came from some papers my Mom had that were left after she died. I have no clue what happened to them; she had a ton of stuff I gave away or sold, etc.

    But there are still some books around and websites available. Anne :-)

    Really pretty, thanks! I had found one by accident last night while reading that lady's obituary Donna Kath? Or DonnKath? Excuse me. Anyway, there was one listed on an Australian Latin Mass FB page. I am not on FB, but their page is public. 

    I think I like yours better though, Emile. I prefer real people in the pictures, and I really like the one of the Nuns outside in the snow with the lit bushes and the statue. Pretty!

    God bless, Anne. :-)

    The 12 Days of Christmas in the spirit of modernism

    …On the twelfth day of holidays the V2 anti-popes gave to me:
    Twelve press conferences speaking,
    Eleven Marxists scheming,
    Ten priests molesting,
    Nine feet a washing,
    Eight candles burning,
    Seven council docuмents writing,
    Six new beatitudes preaching,
    Five plus heresies,
    Four cardinals doubting,
    Three meetings at Assisi,
    Two John Paul's,
    And a new code in ’83.

    I didn't click on you link, and nor will I. I will just say that this has to be the worst post I have read here yet, and that is saying something. It is in very poor taste to spoil Emile's thread with this. And during Christmas-tide no less!

    This is not funny, and nor does it do anything to teach about the Twelve Days of Christmas. Isn't there some sort of bad-taste corner you can go to around here? Or the joke section? Barf.

    • Not "ruin," merely a comparison. Lighten up. Pontificate less. Life is short and hard.
