Probably to the Third will go the defeated

¡Europe¡

¡Europe¡

¡Europe¡

This could well be the beginning of Shakespeare's Play: "Macbeth"

For many years Europe has been dancing in fashions; and fashions that are transient move away from the roots

Europe sprouts from your roots now that you still can because like Macbeth called by Bruges, the call is not belonging!

take care of yourself and your roots Europe; that probably to the Third will go the defeated

338 Nothing exists that does not owe its existence to God the Creator. The world began when God's word drew it out of nothingness; all existent beings, all of nature, and all human history are rooted in this primordial event, the very genesis by which the world was constituted and time begun.²⁰⁷

A story between Beauty and the Vigour

Glory for the 41 Soldiers and Holy Heroes who in the 4th century before the Roman Empire gave it their all. They are:

The Forty-1 Martyrs of Sebaste

Roman soldiers first, and hosts of Christ after

With the first thing you pursue glory. With the latter, Divine Glory makes use of you

The situation was to honor to dead figures and preserve terrestrial life by losing the Soul, or to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to be faithful to what they lived for years, and with martyrdom to preserve the Soul by losing earthly life

The capacity of Martyrdom is not a human capacity, but is a Divine Gift that God bestows at a given moment, and there, the Human Will and the Divine become ONE in the face of the tragic moment. And this is conditioned, not achieved by purely human effort. It is worth the example of St. Lawrence who, having suffered martyrdom lying on a grill, at full fire asks to be turned around. The Divine intervenes so that the forces/laws of Nature otherwise impact the human body

The testimony itself is that these men began to be tortured, and the last torture was in spending days and nights in an icy lake until the cold nullified the body heat

They encouraged each other with songs, from Psalms and surely also with songs by Soldiers. Apparently the younger one was encouraged to give up. And this animated by his Mother who contemplated and encouraged him persisted

The bravery of these men was of such Testimony that it touched all present

So he looked like one of the 40s gave up, and left the lake to a place reserved for those who wished not to continue

Then the guardian who was in charge of the 40s not fleeing, and who was also a Soldier, in a feeling of martial recognition, also declared himself a Christian and joined the group to preserve the whole. And probably as a newly converted soldier, knowing that that gesture would keep the Moral

But the one who gave up was because first he was, and the initial merit belongs to him and here he is not taken away, and this is the ONE that is mentioned

It's Another who gets to Judge

Therefore these are, and this is the story, of the Forty-1 Soldiers who gave Witness to Christ in Sebaste (Present Turkey)

In EWTN are all the details of this beautiful story:

523 St. John the Baptist is the Lord's immediate precursor or forerunner, sent to prepare his way.196 "Prophet of the Most High", John surpasses all the prophets, of whom he is the last.197 He inaugurates the Gospel, already from his mother's womb welcomes the coming of Christ, and rejoices in being "the friend of the bridegroom", whom he points out as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world".198 Going before Jesus "in the spirit and power of Elijah", John bears witness to Christ in his preaching, by his Baptism of conversion, and through his martyrdom.199

Dedicated to Radio María's "Among Friends" program

Listening the song of Radio Maria's "Between Friends" show for years wanting to know what song it was. I could have called and asked, but he gave me to look for him, like this, throwing myself into the pool. And I've finally found it, and the lyrics have... your message. The song is called:

"Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree"

The song tells the story of a man who was usually in jail. And separated from his wife for 3 years he doubts whether to return home

The song itself is the journey on the bus: He takes the path with doubts of whether she will accept him again, and warning her by letter asks her that if she wishes her to return, in the old Oak next to the house, hang a yellow ribbon

And.......

I invite you to listen to the song and look for the lyrics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDFSYuXeZMQ

I've only given you the beginning 😀😀

P.D: Dedicated to radio maria's "Between Friends" program and my little Oak that has sprung up this week 😀😀 Is it a Casuality? 😀😀

631 Jesus "descended into the lower parts of the earth. He who descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens." The Apostles' Creed confesses in the same article Christ's descent into hell and his Resurrection from the dead on the third day, because in his Passover it was precisely out of the depths of death that he made life spring forth:

Christ, that Morning Star, who came back from the dead, and shed his peaceful light on all mankind, your Son who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

The Trinitarian Chalice

A while ago they found this consecrated Chalice in Nineveh-Iraq

He is pierced by the firing of a bullet from a group of the jihadi "Islamic state"

The result is that the Living God who makes everything a Catechesis, now, of this "blindly" hole-swoop Chalice makes its holes mouths:

The widest, by which the Father speaks from this Holy Chalice 

The one that looks like the hole of a nail (the one that was shot), is the mouth through which from this Holy Chalice speaks the Son 

The one that looks like a sting (the effect that leaves the bullet on the way out) is the mouth through which from this Holy Chalice speaks the Holy Spirit

The full story in:

Hallelujah!

234 The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in himself. It is therefore the source of all the other mysteries of faith, the light that enlightens them. It is the most fundamental and essential teaching in the "hierarchy of the truths of faith".56 The whole history of salvation is identical with the history of the way and the means by which the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, reveals himself to men "and reconciles and unites with himself those who turn away from sin".57

ReBirth: A random conversation

This Tuesday I was reading in the park and A person to make an appoint-ment and we started talking about various topics

Maybe the conversation relieves the feeling of Heat?, Who knows

The fact is that in dealing with various topics, at one point this person tells me that he is a person who belive in the Rebirth (Reincarnation). And he tells me that in a few years he'll be Rebirth (Reincarnated) to who knows what kind of being or what kind of creature. Beforehand you don't know

I was surprised and asked the following question:

And wouldn't you like to be yourself for all Eternity?

To which, and taking advantage of the Blog I also ask you:

And your answer, what would it be?

The State vs Mandela and the others

Some days ago I watched this documental about the Aparheid in South Africa

There is version in English and France

https://www.rouge-international.com/movie/the-state-against-mandela-and-the-others/

The argument is about the Trial open to Mandela and members of the movement

It is interesant because you have a global vision of the situation and why sometimes the People do things in particular circunstances

How is it posible these situations?, The richness of common efforts to improve the environment should always be the motivation of the Human

Are curious these conflicts where the target has not life

We have a documental very interesting to know where the Human does not must cross two times

386 Sin is present in human history; any attempt to ignore it or to give this dark reality other names would be futile. To try to understand what sin is, one must first recognize the profound relation of man to God, for only in this relationship is the evil of sin unmasked in its true identity as humanity's rejection of God and opposition to him, even as it continues to weigh heavy on human life and history.

971 "All generations will call me blessed": "The Church's devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship."⁵¹⁵ The Church rightly honors "the Blessed Virgin with special devotion. From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of 'Mother of God,' to whose protection the faithful fly in all their dangers and needs. . . . This very special devotion . . . differs essentially from the adoration which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and greatly fosters this adoration."⁵¹⁶ The liturgical feasts dedicated to the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosary, an "epitome of the whole Gospel," express this devotion to the Virgin Mary.⁵¹⁷
