This should go on the coronavirus thread but I just saw something on Zerohedge. An anonymous letter written b y someone who calls himself Spartacus. Its going viral apparently. The upshot is that the MDs have it all wrong. It is a blood disease/disorder. Very lengthy science. I admit not being a scientist I didnt get it all but he certainly makes the case. The Vax is useless. Utterly useless. It treats the wrong disease. Clearly some sort of MD or epidemiologist is writing it.
I was thinking of my mother and grand mother and God Mother and aunts, all the women I most admired the most in my life. What did I most admire them for? Their strength. Their totally amazing strength and Faith. What would they have made of all this? They would have despised and laughed at it. Why? They went through real trials. They knew what a real trial was. ...and it wasn't this.
Exactly. We are all of us in this culture now "soy boys" so infantilized and fearful. Helmets and safety straps are the tip of the ice berg. I am affected by it. I admit it. My mother was tough and strong. I never heard her complain ever. When she got sick we were terrified because she never took to her bed. She was a woman of strong faith.
Yes. Giants. Memories of my mother asleep on her knees by the side of the bed--her rosary beads in her hand. A woman at prayer on and off all day long. I am glad she is oraying for me. I need it.
I kept waking up last night and couldn't sleep. A vary long rosary later I fell asleep for ten hours. I was delighted how many went to Sunday Mass, but I was the only one without a mask, it made me uneasy, so sad.
It is bizarre. what is the story. This confusion of blind obedience and conformity with true Communion and solidarity. The church is taking on devilish cult like features. still no holy water as the sign of faith and the obligation to attend mass still abrogated, not to mention Communion only in the hand, the social distancing and masked priests. What in the hell lads. I went to church today in drogheda pure mania. Can't wait to visit Belfast next week and get up to St Mary's. Anyone up there is so lucky to have the mass of ages on their doorstep and an unmasked normal Catholic congregation. But hey the trads are supposedly the rigid fundamental conformists obsessed with the minutae of ritual and ceremony. Crazy crazy days.
Padraig, What a beautiful place and not too far from Belfast! Thank you for sharing this with us and I hope that you are enjoying your trip.
I go to the FSSP mass as often as possible. It's an hour away and at an awkward time of day but no masks, Communion on the tongue and of course the insence, chant, reverence, etc... A bit of heaven.
There is surely something in the fact of Catholics who have kept the faith, who seek out reverential worship etc etc etc and who are not buying into this covid mania. I pinch myself at times. Is this the great deception or part and parcel of it? I've had the kung flu and as I speak my father is 64 days ICU suffering and recovering from the complications of contracting it. I have been in the highest level ICU rooms I am not an ignoramous I understand that people can get hit bad. But for the life of me how people can't see right through this fear porn is truly astounding. Something more is at work that is absolutely for sure.
Yes Malachi. Something else is definitely at work here. I am so glad to hear the update on your dad. I am still praying!
Thank you much appreciated. He is truly being watched over. For the 3rd time last Monday we were called up to basically say this is it as he now developed a perforated bowel. But now they are talking about moving to a ward. He had his tracheostomy out today and was talking briefly from Friday or so. God always has the last word. The doctors have been great but their analysis begins and ends at the clinically observed phenomena. Suffering and its salvific nature and the power of God do not enter their optic. This makes it all the better. Things might still go south but we move on with trust and love. Deo gratias
I put a Solar Panel on the roof and a lot of water is getting in. I need to seal it. The battery died. I HAD NOT got the charger switched on. I need the chief engineer from Star Trek
