Jesus Image of the Day

Everyday, I received an email from a religious site, it's entitled Jesus Image of the Day. I'm so happy receiving an email like this, because everyday I have my inspiration, everyday I see Jesus in in my monitor. Here are some wonderful pictures of our Lord Jesus Christ, it is based in our daily life. It reminds us that everyday, Jesus is with us always.

Movie Coming this May - Bloodline

If you saw or read "The Da Vinci Code," you already may have some questions. But the movie "Bloodline" allows for more questions about Jesus Christ and the family he may or may not have produced on earth.

"Bloodline" investigates the popular belief that Jesus married Mary Magdalene, who fled to southern France with their child. In an adventure worthy of "Indiana Jones", filmmaker Bruce Burgess and team crack the shadowy secret society, known as the Priory of Sion. Their investigation follows clues linking the Knights Templar and the legend of Mary Magdalene with messages embedded in the decor of the famed church at Rennes-le-Chateau in France, leading ultimately to stunning discoveries: a buried chest with artifacts dating to 1st century Jerusalem and a hidden tomb filled with treasure and a mummified corpse draped in a shroud bearing a distinctive red cross.

Do these discoveries finally provide the proof that the "Bloodline" exists?

Happy Easter! One Day More to Go

Happy Easter! Last night I attended holy mass, it is almost 2 and a haft hours, because it is compose into 4 celebration, 1st is the liturgy of light, followed by the liturgy of the word, then the liturgy of baptism and the last, the liturgy of the holy Eucharist, I remembered that that was the only mass I attended since the holy week started, unlike on the previous years, I attended almost everyday, maybe I am busy so much or I'm too excited for my coming graduation.
Today is the Easter Sunday, where the Lord resin from the dead, today also is our parents' recognition day. I am excited because my mother will come to attend this special day, though I'm very busy this day, I still focus myself to settle everything and after I assist sisters for the holy mass at 2 o'clock this afternoon, I still have time to fetch my mother later this afternoon. I dedicated this day to my mother. Happy Easter!

Bible Verse of the day: Eph. 4:28

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

The Man Who Stood Against Rome

"It vexes me that we must read and learn such shameless, gross, crazy lies in the canon law, and must even hold them for Christian doctrine, when they are devilish lies."

This quote by Martin Luther was made in a proposition to the rulers of Germany in An Open Letter to The Christian Nobility of the German Nation Concerning the Reform of the Christian Estate, 1520.

Yes that is right the year was 1520, and it was around 1529-33 that 100 thousand Germans were killed by the Papal Roman soldiers.

Luther translated the Greek Bible to Latin then to German so that any German could read the New Testament.

Why such a stir over a new Bible in one's native tongue? Well the most obvious reason is that if one could read a Bible translated by Luther who opposed the Roman doctrines one might understand that most of the teachings that Rome was selling as God's Word were nothing but lies.

Much of Luther's work by his own admission was a loose translation of the Latin to German often to fit his own doctrinal beliefs.

Luther made his mark with his scolding of Rome concerning the selling of indulgences. An indulgence was a donation that was made to get time off of ones sentence in Purgatory. It could be used for an Aunt or Uncle, Mother or Father etc. Luther was particularly disgusted with this practice and based much of his famous Thesis on eliminating this practice. There is a saying that I was reminded of when I was recently watching a movie about Luther called "Luther" I highly recommend the film to you.

"As the coin in the coffer rings, a soul from purgatory springs". This reduces it to what it really was, a sham to rob the people of their money.

Today we are faced with many lies about what the scriptures say, and only because we can all read the Bible the lies are more subtle and seemingly more harmless. Lies are lies nevertheless and we must be on guard to keep fast the Word in our hearts and let no man beguile us of our reward.

40 days of Fasting...47 Days Left

In the Western Christian calendar, Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent and occurs forty days before Easter (excluding Sundays). It falls on a different date each year, because it is dependent on the date of Easter; it can occur as early as February 4 or as late as March 10.
At Masses and services of worship on this day, ashes are imposed on the foreheads (or tonsure spots, in the case of some clergy) of the faithful. The priest, minister, or in some cases officiating layperson marks the forehead of each participant with black ashes in the shape of a cross, which the worshiper traditionally retains until washing it off after sundown. The act echoes the ancient Near Eastern tradition of throwing ash over one's head to signify repentance before God (as related in the Bible).

As the College Graduation Day of UIC falls on easter sunday, guys... we have to wait 47 days of this great great celebration in our life! Advance Happy Graduation. But before that... We have to pass all of our subject especially our THESIS! hehehe...
