Prayers for the Oppressed
.Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ and St. Francis: As we draw closer to the great celebration of the Birth of Christ and all of the wonderful gifts that the Infant Jesus and His Blessed Mother Mary and Foster father Joseph have bestowed on us, let us not for one minute forget those in the World who are suffering all sorts of evils. In particular please pray for Christians throughout the World who do not have the same freedom that we here in America enjoy. Many will be celebrating the Birth of Christ in secret and with fear of discovery in their hearts.

Iraqi bishop sees 'ethnic cleansing' of Christian minority in Mosul
December 16, 2009. Click here for entire story.
.
After three more bombing attacks on Christian institutions in Mosul, Archbishop Louis Sako of Kirkuk has warned that a campaign of “ethnic and religious cleansing” is underway in the Iraqi city. A baby girl was killed, and 40 people wounded, when bombs hit two Catholic churches and grenades were tossed at a Catholic school. The archbishop urgently called for tighter security to stop the anti-Christian violence. One frightened resident told AsiaNews that the Christian minority in Mosul may be “a community destined to die.”

"Religious freedom restricted for nearly 70% of world's population
December 18, 2009
Nearly 70% of the world’s people live in countries that restrict religious liberty, according to a study by the Pew Forum. The Pew survey found restraints on religious expression in 64 countries, including some of the world’s most populous nations. The Pew study reported:
.
The highest overall levels of restrictions are found in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Iran, where both the government and society at large impose numerous limits on religious beliefs and practices. But government policies and social hostilities do not always move in tandem. Vietnam and China, for instance, have high government restrictions on religion but are in the moderate or low range when it comes to social hostilities. Nigeria and Bangladesh follow the opposite pattern: high in social hostilities but moderate in terms of government actions.
Northern Africa and the Middle East are the regions where religious freedom is most heavily circumscribed, the Pew study found; the Americas allow the greatest degree of religious liberty.

Code Red Rally
Dear Friends: Greetings on the Third Week of Advent: I trust that you are working your way toward the arrival of Our Lord Jesus Christ once again this year. We are so complacent about our freedoms here in America. We are particularly blessed to live in a country that protects the free worship of God. Our freedoms and the ability to practice them are under attack by this present administration in Washington. We must fight to keep the ability to go to church, temple etc without repercussions. We also must fight to keep all of our freedoms. They are being eliminated quietly in the dark of the night. We can not let that happen. Obama and his administration now, undercover of night and secret meetings, are working to strip away our ability to choose who we want as a doctor, where we want to go to be treated and the list goes on; 80% of American say they do not want Socialized Medicine.
.
We are fighting back---this "hope and change" is not what we signed on for.
.
If you can not physically attend make an effort to support this rally in any way you can. Send the information to friends, call your representative, get down on your knees and pray that Obama's greatest power grab in US history is stopped. Log on to the link below for information on the Code Red Rally.

Modern Day Apostles
A blessed second week of Advent to all. Once our attention is drawn to the Healthcare debate that is going on in the Senate. We must not put aside the Social aspects of this disastrous bill and focus only on the Abortion issue. Before we get to abortion let us remember that this bill will add an over One Trillion dollars to the taxpayer burden. An if anyone thinks that it will not fall on the shoulders of the average Joe, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. We as Catholic Christian can not sit by and allow our Congressional Representatives to add more debt to an already over burdened population. We will discuss the "death panels" at a later date. I have included a part of an article that appeared in my hometown newspaper, Philadelphia Inquirer. The part you will find below deals with Congressman Kennedy's take on his support of abortion as a Catholic. We still have apostles out there that are working to bring Christ message to the people. Let us begin with the following:
The Elephant in the Room: Catholics must heed teachings
By Rick Santorum
.
The health-care debate has provided its share of teachable moments. The one at hand has little to do with health care.
The catalyst, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, supports government-guaranteed health care. However, its support hinges on an amendment barring government funding of abortions.
.
The bishops' stance infuriated Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D., R.I.). "You mean to tell me the Catholic Church is going to be denying those people lifesaving health care? I thought they were pro-life," he told the Catholic News Service.
.
Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, R.I., pointed out that the bishops do support lifesaving health care for all - including the unborn. Kennedy countered that his support for legal abortion doesn't make him "any less of a Catholic," because the Catholic faith "acknowledges the existence of an imperfect humanity."
.
Tobin realized that Kennedy was no longer arguing about health policy, but rather about what it means to be Catholic. Unlike some bishops, this protégé of Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua did not let Kennedy's distortion go unchallenged.
"If you don't accept the teachings of the church, your communion with the church is flawed," he wrote in an open letter to Kennedy last month, "or, in your own words, makes you 'less of a Catholic.' "
.
Tobin then turned to the real issue: What makes one a Catholic? Baptism? Family? Culture?
.
More than that, Tobin said. Being a Catholic "means that you believe and accept the teachings of the church, especially on essential matters of faith and morals; that you belong to a local Catholic community, a parish; that you attend Mass on Sundays and receive the sacraments regularly; that you support the church personally, publicly, spiritually, and financially."
.
Our next apostle is a coptic priest for is risking his life to get the message of the Gospel to those who have been denied it by the laws of their country. Please take a few minutes to read this link. http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/shows/cwn/2009/November/Coptic-Priest-Fearlessly-Spreading-Gods-Word/
.
Lastly an article from the Boston Herald that is noteworthy of attention.

Persecutions of the Just
US bishops call Senate health bill ‘an enormous disappointment’
Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, Bishop William Murphy of Rockville Centre, and Bishop John Wester of Salt Lake City are urging US senators to change provisions of the Senate’s health care reform legislation so that taxpayers and religious institutions would not be compelled to fund abortions. The US Senate voted 60-39 on November 21 to permit debate on the measure. . . .

.
This is the header that appeared in Catholic Culture on line on Nov. 23 of this year. When will the Catholic Bishops of this country come down form their Ivory Tower? The local high school losing a close game is a "disappointment", the inclusion of Abortion Funding in ObamaCare is a travesty of Moral Justice. Once again I will remind the bishops that our Democrat president was one of FOUR who voted against the Born Alive Bill. He (Obama) was quite at ease in allowing infants to lay in closets and die in order to keep his Pro-Choice friends happy. Not too much "happiness" for the infants slaughtered. No big surprise that the Democrats would include abortion funding in the Health Bill. TAKE NOTE YOUR EXCELLENCIES: ABORTION IS A MAJOR PLANK IN THE DEMOCRAT POLICY PLATFORM. It will not go away until the good people who support the Democrats force them to change their far left policies and that is not about to happen anytime soon.
.
.
On an equally disturbing note---have you noticed how people are feeling a great unspoken unease for the past several months? Why? Not too much Hope and a lot of frightening Change.
.
I have hear over the past few weeks a number of items that in themselves are most disturbing but the following two make it to the top of the list.
ONE--- Despite protest by so called “Pro Life senators such as Casey of Pennsylvania and the promises of our president Obama, abortion funding finds its way into the disastrous ObamaCare Bill. Please make a call an register your dismay with this very expected turn of events. We were treated to any number of lies form the President but when our own senators turn their backs on the will of the people it is time to raise your voices loud and clear. Here is a link to the Congress and the Senate members. Tell them to stop this murderous persecution of the unborn.
.
and now----
.
Archbishop Jules Mikhael Al-Jamil, procurator of the Syrian Catholic Patriarchate in Rome.
.
The prelate, 71, said that in Iraq's social system, Christians have no supports to defend themselves, thus becoming easy victims of common criminals or terrorist groups. .
.
He said their situation can be called a "religious persecution" caused by a social system that is inspired by a view of the Quran, according to which Islam and its followers must dominate and regard believers of other religions as citizens with fewer rights.
.
The archbishop, expert in Arab culture and literature, explained that according to the Quran, Islam is a religion that is above all others.
.
Dear friends the entire article can be found in Catholic Culture on line.
.
While driving to school one morning, I was flipping through the car radio and I hear a tela-evangelist say " We are not persecuted for our religion here in American and in many other countries of Europe because evil people only persecute that which is different form them. Our religion has become like the culture----degenerate." I quote this as I remember it but non-the- less it is something to ponder.
.
Be well and God Bless

About the First Thanksgiving
The Massachusetts Thanksgiving Story
from Governor Bradford (who was there)
.
Comment: If Americans understood the economic principles below, and how Godly economics works, we would be a different country. But we have drifted back into the control mentality and given up our understanding of, or desire for, freedom. We want to be taken care of by Government Nanny. That is the road to slavery on the government plantation.
But God has better for us. Pray that we wake up in time.
Socialists claim that free enterprise and capitalism are inherently greedy and selfish. They do not raise that issue about those who run the centralized bureaucracies of socialism and communism..., who have, in almost every case, themselves been the most greedy, self-centered, and destructive of all people. It all depends on who is doing the work. It would be hard to outdo the self-centeredness of Communist and socialist leaders of the 20th century. Capitalism can also be run by greedy people.
The issues are two: (1) the system itself, and whether one or the other conforms more closely to the plan of God for how we distribute and use the goods He has given us; and, (2) the spiritual life of all involved.
(1) The basic problem with socialism of any form is its inherent need for coercion. People do not naturally line up all the same. And there are some things which ought not be coerced -- such as charity -- i.e., redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor.
(2) It is not true that private enterprise is naturally greedy. Adam Smith, the great classical economist, said that the local farmer does not supply my needs out of his desire for me to eat well, but out of his own desire to eat well, to be clothed and housed, etc. That is not true as a general statement, and played right into the hands of socialists. Putting the matter that way slants the issue toward believing that providing for myself and my family is exclusive of wanting to do well for other people. That is not so, and a tragic misrepresentation of both spiritual and economic truth.
The Second Great Commandment does not say that we are to love others instead of ourselves, but as ourselves. If I do not love myself, I will not be able to love my neighbor. If my farm goes bankrupt, I will not be able to supply my neighbor. Loving my neighbor means including my neighbor in the circle of my own wealth, not renouncing wealth per se. Some may need to renounce their wealth (as Jesus said to one fellow) if they have an idolatry of their wealth.
But a Godly farmer will genuinely want to do well for others, not cheat on his customers, not give as little as possible for the maximum return, and not be satisfied until he has done a good job for his customer. To say that people cannot behave that way is nonsense. For a Godly farmer, the farm is primarily about good relationship, not about getting rich.
The question is really a spiritual one. Is the farmer (or the customer, or the commissar) trusting God for his own sense of personal stability and meaning, and obeying God for his purpose for existence? If he is not, he will not be able consistently to love his neighbor as he loves himself. But if he is dependent on and obedient to God, he will be able to carry out his trade with a genuine love of neighbor. He will want to respect the need of the neighbor to provide for himself and his family just as he is for his own family, and will thus run his business in that manner. Genuinely good business practices are also good Christianity, part of the Way of the Cross, a self-discipline for myself, my family, and my customers.
Read on... E. Fox]
In the middle of December 1620 the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, leaving behind the sinfulness of the “old world” to make a “new Jerusalem” in America. Three years later, in November 1623, they had a great feast thanking God for getting them through an earlier famine, and now for a bountiful crop.
What had created the earlier famine and then the bountiful crops? The story is told in the diary of Governor Bradford, who was one of the elders of that early Puritan colony.
At first, they decided to turn their back on all the institutions of the England that had been their home. This included the institution of private property, which they declared to be the basis of greed, averse, and selfishness. Instead, they were determined to live the “Platonic ideal” of collectivism, in which all work would be done in common, with the rewards of their collective efforts evenly divided among the colonists. Farming was done in common, as well as housekeeping and child raising. This was supposed to lead to prosperity and brotherly love.
But their experiment in collectivism did not lead to prosperity or brotherly love. Rather, it created poverty and envy and slothfulness among most of the members of this little society. Here is Bradford’s description of what communism created among the Pilgrims:
“The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Plato's and other ancients applauded by some of later times; that the taking away of property and bringing in community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God. For this community was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For the young men, that were most able and fit for labor and service, did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children without any recompense. The strong had no more in division of victuals and clothes than he that was weak and not able to do a quarter the other could; this was thought injustice. The aged and graver men to be ranked and equalized in labors everything else, thought it some indignity and disrespect unto them.
“And for men's wives to be commanded to do service for other men, as dressing their meat, washing their clothes, etc., they deemed it a kind of slavery, neither could many husbands well brook it. Upon the point all being to have alike, and all to do alike, they thought themselves in the like condition, and one as good as another; and so, if it did not cut off those relations that God hath set amongst men, yet it did at least much diminish and take off the mutual respects that should be preserved amongst them” Let none object this is men's corruption, and nothing to the course itself. I answer, seeing all men have this corruption in them, God in His wisdom saw another course fitter for them.”
For two years the harvest time failed to bring forth enough to feed the people. Indeed, many starved and many died of famine. Faced with this disaster, the elders of the colony gathered, Governor Bradford tells us, and decided that another year, and they would surely all die and disappear in the wilderness.
Instead, they decided to divide the property and fields of the colony, and gave each family a piece as their own. Whatever they did not use for their own consumption, they had the right to trade away to their neighbors for something they desired instead.
Now, instead of sloth, envy, resentment, and anger among the colonists, there was a great turnaround in their activities. Industry, effort, and joy were now seen in practically all that the men, women and children did. Bradford writes:
“They had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression”. By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the faces of things were changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God.”
Indeed, their bounty was so great, that they had enough to not only trade among themselves but also with the neighboring Indians in the forest. In November 1623, they had a great feast to which they also invited the Indians. They prepared turkey and corn, and much more, and thanked God for bringing them a bountiful crop. They, therefore, set aside a day of “Thanksgiving.”
So this November 23rd, when we all sit down with our families and friends to enjoy the turkey and the trimmings, let us not forget that we are celebrating the establishment and triumph of capitalism and the spirit of enterprise in America!

...Ya gotta love kids!
Dear Brothers and Sisters: Good Morning and All Good to all. Please click on the picture to change the screen. These are wonderful notes from children to God. The innocence and simplicity that is gone form our adult lives is so evident here. It is no wonder that Christ has asked us to be like the children. If you did not understand His admonishing before, perhaps now you will get it.
Be well.
