I live in the northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. Like other Catholics throughout the world today the crosses keep coming thick and fast! I constantly pray for all here. We must heed our Mothers words and pray.......The Rosary, The Rosary, The Rosary! And please also add the Rosary of the seven sorrows of Our Blessed Mother! We Catholics need to say this rosary collectively at this point to keep united to Christ, who so loved the world. I believe something is coming down the line, which will cause a major disturbance to all humanity. It will be swift and fast and come from the Church. It will cause a rift and it will be accepted by the majority of the Church and the world as a good thing, it will however be a deception. I think we have about 5 months to prepare for this. These are just my thoughts. I believe that Love demands Justice. If one Loves; the response to Love can only be Love as a Just return. Gods Love demands a Just Reply, it requires Love in return. Love therefore by its great and supreme nature is the ultimate reality! God's Love outdoes itself in His Mercy. His Mercy being an extension of His Love. If Gods Love is not reciprocated, than His Mercy is marvellously and Divinely extended............ but if injustice is committed against His Mercy, than God's Justice will naturally recoup what is owing due to the insult/betrayal to His Love! Mankind is at the threshold! Justice is at our Door. I believe the Lord will lead all of us here and all His faithful everywhere. Hold your head high and Do Not be afraid. God Bless us all.
I guess it's my turn... Born and raised in Glens Falls NY. Spent the last 35 years with my wonderful wife in Escanaba, Upper Peninsula Michigan
it is Seneca Falls.. I live about 20 minutes away. They have a Christmas weekend every year honoring the movie. For several years Karolyn Grimes who played ZuZu came as well as some of the others.
I have a dear close friend whose family came from France to Quebec in the 1600's. She can trace them back to the original Nadeau patriarch buried on an Island in the St Lawrence.
I didn't know this! I went to high school in upstate NY. Beautiful country--just like Its a Wonderful Life.
I love this thread....it shows how Our Lady has called us from all over the world with Padraig as our dear host....
Western Wisconsin USA. My ancestors are from France and ended up in New Brunswick, Canada, then came down to Wisconsin about 130 years ago.
Hi All! Yes Soldier of Christ is correct. It was Seneca Falls. Upper State NY is very pretty with all the mountain ranges. I believe there are 23 of them. I very much enjoyed camping and scouting in the area growing up. Some of the better known people that graduated from Glens Falls are Hack Saw Jim Duggan (Wrestler). He still holds the record at our school for the shot put. Rachael Ray, (Chef) graduated a few years after me, I believe in 1982. We used to play in Cooper's cave which was written about in the book, "Last of the Mohicans", Fort William Henry was where major battles were fought during French & Indian wars and my favorite is Fr. Issacs Jogues, Jesuit Missionary preached the Good Word.
No apology necessary. He was/is first and foremost Father Isaac Jogues. When i first was told about him as a young child I was horrified to think what he went through. And then after being rescued he returned because of his love for those people and his desire for their salvation! Wow. I love the feast of the North American martyrs. We have sacred ground in our country and in Canada blessed by the blood of martyrs.
