10/31/09 GOSPEL @ St. JOACHIM, Luke 14.7-11, HUMBLE SELF & be PROMOTED rather than EXALT SELF & be DEMOTED

10/31/09 GOSPEL @ St. JOACHIM, Luke 14.7-11, HUMBLE SELF & be PROMOTED rather than EXALT SELF & be DEMOTED: excellent wisdom from the MASTER who gives an example of going to a wedding feast, & rather than sit in the BEST SEAT only to be asked to MOVE DOWN to an inferior place, sit in the WORST SEAT only to be INVITED CLOSER ...that's a good analogy for LIFE IN GENERAL. Let us NOT overly EXALT OURSELVES, but also do not be FALSELY HUMBLE & do NOT HIDE YOUR LIGHT !

10/31/09 LIVE from McCafe: KARAOKE KOK "ITS YOU I LOVE, NOT THE THOUGHT OF YOU" by PICTURES & SOUND: Your love, you're as fine as fine can be Your beauty, worth anything I've ever seen I try, to listen when you speak to me Try to make you see But what good would that do? It's you I love and not the thought of you You're the proof I use to measure what is true Its not what your parents hoped would be Or how I imagine you to look at 83 I twist your story around into some fantasy Like I always do But what would that prove true? It's you I love and not the thought of you You're the proof I use to measure what is true It's you I love and not the thought of you Darling its you It's you I love and not the thought of you You're the proof I use to measure what is true

"IMMEDIATELY, BARTIMAEUS COULD SEE": Jesus CAN HEAL ANYBODY, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, with FAITH ! (Gospel reading at OLQA, NEWPORT, 830am, 10/25/09

10/25/09 The GOSPEL READING was about BLIND BARTIMAEUS & the leader...

10/25/09 The GOSPEL READING was about BLIND BARTIMAEUS & the leader expounded upon the passage analogically as OUR OWN VARIOUS FORMS of BLINDNESS (NOT LITERAL) which need healing. Maybe its arrogance, pride, ...etc. that needs to be confessed...& he also tied this into the Melchizedek passage as the reason Catholic Christians should confess to their priest, not because he is perfect but because he is human & can empathize with human weakness & sinfulness. It is BECAUSE a priest is ALSO a sinner that confession is important, NOT because the priest is perfect. Interesting analysis. Coming from the Protestant tradition & the emphasis on confession to Christ alone I need some convincing to confess to a priest. Maybe they will convince me , but I'm still in the contemplative/reflective stage.

10/25/09 1st READING "ACCORDING to the ORDER of MELCHIZEDEK..." (See link)

The first BIBLE READING @ OLQA (Our Lady Queen Of ANGELS, NEWPORT) this morning mentioned "Melchizedek" which many believe is two words "melchi" (king) & "tsedeq" (righteousness) meaning "KING of RIGHTEOUSNESS" & is associated with JESUS IN VARIOUS ways.... I've always found this reference intriguing but mysterious & periodically search for clarity about it. Today I found the following link which sheds some further possible light on the subject : http://www.biblestudy.org/basicart/who-was-melchizedek.html
