lol anonymous sources in the Vatican. What a thing to say this time of year. It's almost as if there are people surrounding the pope who enjoy fostering intrigue and despair. Imagine that.
TOMORROW IS A DAY OF MIRACLES. LET US PRAY BEFORE THE INFANT JESUS THAT JUSTICE, MERCY AND TRUTH WILL PREVAIL IN THIS COUNTRY AND THAT EVIL WILL NOT OVERTAKE IT. HE IS A GOD OF MIRACLES AND CAN DO ALL THINGS - EVEN WHEN THEY SEEM IMPOSSIBLE. PRAY, HOPE AND DON'T WORRY!
Praying to Our Lady of Victory! When the odds are very much against us, miracles are within our grasp through the loving Mercy of the Two Hearts! Turmoil may swirl, but the pearl of great price provides tranquility Divine, especially on the day of His birth! O, I feel a poem's in the making!
Leaving shortly for our Midnight Mass and will say this prayer before Him! Please pray for our choir directrix who is in labor as I type this! We will still be singing joyfully under the direction of the Holy Spirit—God has a plan! A blessed and a merry Christmas to all!~AN
This is so true! She had a little girl on Christmas Eve! And Yours Truly conducted the choir by default, as in, nobody else stepped up to that plate. Well, someone had to do it, after all. What a workout! Good night!
On the other hand, remember the outrage earlier this year when a priest said you cannot be a faithful Catholic and be a Democrat? If a majority of the bishops came out in support of Trump then the Church gets accused of being just another wing of the Republican Party; etc. I like the open letter Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, wrote concerning the elections.
Last minute hope? Legal Memo Outlines Strategy for Trump to Succeed Having Supreme Court Hear Election Dispute By Matt Margolis Dec 26, 2020 11:23 AM ET The Western Journal has published a legal memo written by William J. Olson & Patrick M. McSweeney that, they say, “outlines a possible legal strategy for the Trump campaign to follow in the coming weeks.” The legal memo was reportedly sent to President Trump prior to it being published on The Western Journal. The authors of the memo contend that by refusing to hear Texas v. Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court” abdicated its constitutional duty to resolve a real and substantial controversy among states that was properly brought as an original action in that Court,” resulting in intense criticism that they had evaded “the most important inter-state constitutional case brought to it in many decades, if not ever.” “However,” the authors say, “even in its Order dismissing the case, the Supreme Court identified how another challenge could be brought successfully — by a different plaintiff.” Just because Texas did not persuade the Justices that what happens in Pennsylvania hurts Texas does not mean that the United States of America could not persuade the justices that when Pennsylvania violates the U.S. Constitution, it harms the nation. Article III, § 2, cl. 2 confers original jurisdiction on the Supreme Court in any case suit brought by the United States against a state. Thus, the United States can and should file suit against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin. Like the Texas suit, that new suit would seek an order invalidating the appointment of the electors appointed by those four defendant States that refused to abide by the terms of the Presidential Electors Clause. Olsen and McSweeney say that if this happened, it would “leave it to the state legislatures in those four states to “appoint” electors — which is what the Constitution requires. The United States suffered an injury when those four states “violated the Constitution by allowing electors who had not been appointed in the manner prescribed by the state legislature.” So, is this the next step for the Trump legal team? Trump legal adviser Jenna Ellis shared this legal strategy memo on Twitter, urging her followers to read it, so this strategy is definitely on their radar. This still leaves us asking, “Is there hope?” It’s the season of miracles, so never give up. https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politi...-supreme-court-hear-election-dispute-n1286650 .
Welllll, yesterday, after a day of presents and after dinner,my oldest grandson went home{the other half of the house which he rents from my son} and some one said did anyone wish Sean a happy birthday? Ohhh fudge. Nope we forgot! So grandma{me} had to make a quick banana bread for him and bring it over to him.
It's a hard day to celebrate ones Birthday, the day after Christ. My wife as well celebrates it and nobody called her. I felt terrible because I usually plan a dinner and everyone meets but with all the caronavirus concerns it just didn't happen this year. Tell Sean I wish him a Happy Birthday.
Aww, please wish your wife a happy birthday! Sean's birthday is December 25'th, Christmas day. Poor guy gets lost in all the busyness. May the good Lord bless all with birthdays in the Christmas season and get lost in all the busyness, Lord forgive us, we are way too busy.
Happy Birthday to your wife!!! Christmas birthdays are a two edged sword i guess. Double the cheer double the presents but always the danger of getting lost in the Christmas fanfare.
Thank you everyone. She is such a sweet and gentle wife, she was sad but not because of the lack of fanfare on her behalf. Her father didn't call her. She hasn't said a word about it but I noticed and know it is a hard burden for her because of course she adores him. He has been slowly progressing with dementia over the last few years and tragically something he would never do has now happened.
