Perfect Timing, Unique Circumstances, Thanksgiving

J.M.J. + O.B.T. + M.G.R.*
 
OK, after a very long hiatus it is time to post one more time.
 
The time appears just right.
 
The circumstances are very strange.
 
Preemptively I must give thanks.

On this Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross
I am praying for a breakthrough:
 
To be a member of a team of faithful men
on a mission to win souls for Jesus Christ
and His one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
 

Saints Peter and Paul,
Pray for us!

Sincerely yours
in Jesus through Mary,
Mike Rizzio

The Aftermath of a Storm

J.M.J. + O.B.T. + M.G.R.*

We're in the whirlwind and hear not clouds a-swirling
We're on the cliff and feel not force a-pulling
We're on the verge and sense not time a-ticking

We're in the cross-hairs and see not death a-coming.


The Noahic Covenant provides a type, a pattern for each of the subsequent relational epochs that the Triune God has revealed in Sacred Scripture.  The Motus Operandi includes a threat to mortal life, our willed obedience and a promise of something so much greater—The Promised Land.  It calls for complete trust in the Word of God. Most importantly, it foreshadows and is fulfilled by the New and Everlasting Covenant instituted by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

Yongsung Kim, After the Storm

Be like a lamb 
and allow yourself
to be carried back home.

Sincerely yours
in Jesus through Mary,

St. Joan of Arc...Pray for Us

J.M.J. + O.B.T. + M.G.R.*

Painted on the broadest part of the standard, the part closest to the pole, was the Apocalyptic image of Christ Who was seated on a rainbow, with the wounds in His side, hands and feet exposed. He was shown wearing a light red tunic and a bright red cloak. His right hand held the world (a blue sphere) and His left hand was raised in blessing. Christ was surrounded in an iridescent golden ‘mandorle.’

Even on horse back, the man who held the Large Standard needed a great amount of strength and skill to be able to hold the deployed ensign. The rider who carried the standard was equipped with a special saddle called in French, “selle de bannière” or the “banner saddle.” Often the larger standards were simply planted at the highest part of the ground where it was used as a rallying point.




“I asked my Lord’s messengers what I should do.
And they answered me, saying, Take up the banner
of your Lord. And thereupon I had a banner made.”

“I loved my banner forty times better than my sword.
And when I went against my enemy, I carried my banner
myself, lest I kill any. I have never killed a man.”


In Her Own Words, p. 26
