April 19, 2005, The Bells of St. Peters Bascilia rang out loudly and the smoke from the chimmey poured out white to ring in Our New Holy Father, Benedict the XVI, the former Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger of Germany.

It was a decision I am sure the Conclave of Cardinals had to wrestle with and the Holy Spirit moved them to elect a Cardinal that is experienced.

Some Christian Catholics may not like him, however, it is the Lord himself and the Holy Spirit who appointed him to the position with the help of The Conclave of Cardinals.

We must give the New Holy Father, Benedict XVI, a chance and trust that he will do what is in the best interest of The Holy Mother Church and her 1.1.5 billion members.

Let us rejoice that we have a new Holy Father, but not let us forget our late Holy Father, The Blessed Pope John Paul II.

Well, rejoice oh Christian-Catholics.

Take care now,

It's Monday, and the weekend went pretty smoothly. First of all, The College of Cardinals went into Conclave and did not come out with a New Holy Father. They will continue to vote four times tomorrow.

This past Saturday we went to see Amityville Horror (2005) and I must say it was a lot better than the orginial Amityville back in 1984. It gave a lot more details on the Defoe Familly that was murdered by the son, Billy, who is rotting away in a New York Prison.  The Defoe Murder case was listed under "The Demon Murder Trial" of 1974.

Frank and I went out to see it and the movie was very good. I give it three A+A+A+ and it was excellent than we out to Old Country Buffet and had dinner.

Sunday we went to Mass as usual and out to brunch. We cleaned the closest with Nancy's help. I tried to hold my temperature.

Tomorrow I go see my therapist at 3 PM and soon I will be receiving my State Medicaid card. I need to go see the dentist and get a physical.

I was hoping to start Curves for women, but it is not in my budget. I need to tackle my Dell Account next . That will begin in June.

I have not done much today. I did take a walk and get Chinese food for lunch near me.

My monthly bills are rolling back in one by one.  But I am saving money on my Sprint PCS bill and all. In May my Capital One credit card will be paid in full.

Easy Rider with Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson is on tonight on A&E and that is a very good movie. Toby Hooper is in it.

Anyway, my day has been peace.

So I will leave you now.

Have a good evening.

It's been two years now since you passed away Jenn. I miss you so much and I wish you were here with us.

I remember the last time we spoke it was right before you passed away. You told me that your blood pressure was dropping and it was just a matter time.  You told me you were holding on until you could talk to Drew.

Then Drew finally called you, and told you it was ok to go to sleep and be out of pain and suffering and that he and none of us that who knew you would ever forget you.

Drew was right about that. I have not forgotten you. You live in my heart forever and I think of you often and all I do is and I wish you were still here with us.

Your death was too soon after I lost John and then we lost Jayden together and than you passed away and unto eternity.

You died alone accept for Kelly, Drew, Robert and me. Your own family abandon you like John's family abandon him. I was here for both of you.

Like I was here for Grandma and Rocky. It is going on ten years for Rocky and seven years for Grandma.  It does not get any easier.

Thirty years have passed since my son, died, I will never get that one. Thirty eight years since my brother died, and I have never forgotten it.

Oh Jenn, I wish you were here.  I don't have enough strength to keeping fight. I want to give up.

I just want to be with you all. I am lonely. I am so lonely Jenn.

I will not let you light die out and I will always remember you when I see yellow roses and carnations. Your favorite flowers.

Today is our sis, Robyn's birthday.  She is 22 years old now. I wish I could be joyful for her. I can not.

I love you, Jenn and you will never die as long as I keep you alive in my heart. One day, we will all be together. What a joyful day that will be.

A Crying,

Today has been some day. First of all, I knew my landlord was going to temporarily turn off the electricity in our building, but I went out to Walmart and then out to eat Chinese Food for lunch.  When I came back much to my dismay the electricity was not turned on yet.

It took the people to complete the electrical work until 6:45 PM cdt. I was one pissed bitch about the whole thing. I mean I was  .

I am just tired out and I paid on my Capital One Credit Card and next month I will totally paid off.  Then I can work on more important credit cards and accounts like my Dell Computer for one.

Of course I am trying to save money up.  I am looking for an new apartment .  We need to move out of the city and go into the nice , quiet, white suburbs.

Anyway, I just finished watching The Banger Sisters, starring Susan Sarandon and Goldie Hawn.  I saw a really funny movie, Death Becomes Her, starring Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep, and Bruce Willis.

One of my favorite movies is "Falling In Love" with Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep. It is a love story and has a great ending.

Well I have said my piece. So everyone have a good evening.

Marylandbaby

It is Tuesday, April 12, 2005 at 3:58 PM central daylight time.  I got up this morning, bathed, put on clean clothes, and went out and paid my bills. I have one bill left, that is my Capital One Bill which I will paid on Friday.

Yesterday, I washed four loads of clothes, whites, towels, darks, and light colors.  The laundry mat was not very crowded and it was not busy because all the Afro-Americans and Mexicans don't get their welfare checks until toward the end of the month.

It is a rainy day here in Chicago and I am here updating my various online diaries and blogs.

Some people believe that being literate means being educated. This is not so.  Some people believe that just because you are educated it means you are literate. This is not so.

Education means how much book learning you received and to what quality of learning you received. Literate meanings how much reading you and to what extent is the quality of the books you are reading.

People read books, magazines, and etc for many reasons. Enjoyment, entertainment, information or educational reasons.

Some people like to read magazines while others like to read novels and biographies.  Some people like Science Fiction, Fantasy, and romances.

We should not judge people by the what books and magazines they read and don't read.

As a rule of thumb, people should not being judging one another at all. That is for the Lord Our God to do and he will.

We need to learn to love each other as we are.  Simple as that.

I have said my piece. So let us be good to each other.

Take care,

Marylandbaby

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The skies are blue, the sun is out and the temperatures are a bit on the nippy side, but it a nice day.

Frank and I went to Mass at 10 AM and then out to eat brunch. The Restaurant was unusually busy and all. I have never seen it that crowded.

I am feeling a little run down and I look forward to starting Curves. I think I will begin it in May though because that is when I need to start it in the beginning of the month.

I have to wash clothes this week and pay the rest of my bills.  Then I will home free.

There was a church social after Mass but we did not go to it. I am just too tired to attend those functions. Maybe once I start to lose water weight and regular body weight on my body, I will feel  better.

Anyway, Next week the Conclave of the Cardinals meet at the Sistine Chapel to begin the  process of electing our new Holy Father.

It has now been a week and one day since Our Late Beloved John Paul has passed away.

The church will never be the same without him.

Everyone have a nice Sunday.

God Bless,

Quote " The Prince of Wales Has Finally Married His Concubine".

Husband and wife: Charles, Camilla finally wed - International News - MSNBC.com
Today, in  a modest civil marriage ceremony later only blessed by The Church of England, but not allowed to enter into a Christian Marriage. 

Charles, Prince of Wales, oldest son of HRH. Queen Elizabeth The II and Prince Philip, married his concubine, Camilla Parker Bowes after she destroyed the marriage between HRH, The Prince of Wales and the Late Princess Diana.

The Church of England will not remarry divorcees. They do not believe in a church anullment as the Holy Mother Church.

They both resolved with the help of God to keep their marriage vows to each.  Small wonder, Camilla commited adultery on her ex husband, Andrew and Charles commited adultery from the beginning of his marriage to the Late Princess Diana, with Camilla.

Neither had any consciences. 

If the Church of England had agreed to marry Charles and Camilla, who are both divorcees. They would have to marry all the other divorcees who want to get remarried in the church. 

The Church of England i.e.Anglican Church, blessed the couples marriage but the marriage is no way a Christian Sacrament.

Prince William, who will turn 23 this June and Prince Harry who will turn 21 this September were in attendance.  Along with Lady Zara Philips and her brother.

The Princess Eugenie and Beatrice, daughters of Prince Andrew and Lady Sarah Ferguerson, were also in attedance. However, Fergie was not invited.

Prince Edward, and his wife, The Duchess of Kent, Sophie were also in attendance.

The Duchess of Conwall wore a light blue formal length dress with matching duster and wore a feather hairband in her hair.

The Duchess of Conwalls, two children, were also in attendance.

HRH, Prince of Wales has no moral conscience and neither does Camilla Parker Bowes.  

She will take the title of Princess Consort when Charles succeeds his mother, HRH, Queen Elizabeth II, rather than the title Queen Consort, Camillla.

The Church of England can not even follow their own church doctrines about that the King of England can not marry a divorcee.

Remember when Edward the VIII wanted to marry American Divorcee, Wallis Simpsom, and was not allowed too. He abidicated the throne and married her. They became the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

That is when George the VI became King of England.   Edward the VIII refused to give up the woman he loved for the sake of the throne.

It is ok for Charles to do so, but not the late Edward the VIII.

HRH marries his concubine. He can not turn her into a decent and honest woman. She is a home wreckers.

First of all, Our late beloved Holy Father, John Paul II, was laid to rest under the Grotto of St. Peter's Bascilia. He will be missed so much.  I know he is watching over us though. 

I have my two picks on who I think should be the next Holy Father. I have picked the one from Germany and the One From Beligum. Both were born in 1933. 

The One from Germany is a moderate to liberal. He advocates reforms in the church and the one from Beligum is a liberal. He is considered a favorite amongst the European Cardinals in the church.

Today is nice. The Skies are clear and blue, No a cloud in the sky. This weekend is going to be nice.

Anyway, we mourn for the loss of our Holy Father, John Paul II.

The Church will continue as we must continue.

A Child Of The Church,

First of all, I am glad to see MSN SPACES added more backgrounds. I have some favorite backgrounds like the one with the white cats, the hearts, and this one.  I like the others but not as well. I like this one as well.

My day was average. I got out and fed my cats and went to the store to buy some cat food. I came home after I went to Walgreens.

I am planning to stay up and watch The Holy Father's Rites of Christian Burial and Funeral Mass on TV on MSNBC.

This is has been one hard month. First, Terri Schiavo dies on March 31, 2005, and then Holy Father on April 2, 2005 to be followed by Prince Rainier III of Monaco on April 6, 2005.

All three good and faithful Christian Catholics.

The Conclave of Cardinals meets in The Sistine Chapel on April 18, to begin the long and drawn out process of electing a New Holy Father into the Office.

I am hoping for one of the German Cardinals.

There is 11 American Cardinals along with the many African, European, Hispanic, and Brazilian and Asian Cardials that will meet a total of 118 to be exact.

The Church need to advocate change . 

Anyway, The Holy Father's Funeral Mass starts at 3 AM CDT, and 4 AM EDT on MSNBC.

I see that MSN Messenger has gone from 6.2 to 7.0 I had to download it today. Eventually I am taking in my compter modem and get the new memory boards installed in it.

The Dell Center is out at Northbrook. I just have to find out where.

I talked to Honey tonight. He was ok. I am going to a special Mass tomorrow and I am checking out Curves For Women as well. I want to check Women's Work Out World as well.

Anyway, keep the Holy Father in your prayers.  Keep the church in your prayers if you are a Christian Catholic.

God Bless,

Special Mass For Holy Father

Scripture Readings in English Romans 8:31-39 and St. John 14:1-3

Tonight I attended a special Mass for the Holy Father.  I walked to Mass and met Frank's friend, Nancy. Talk about total disrespect. She was fidging in the Mass and all. Frank got there about 8 PM. It started at 7:30 PM.

After Mass we went to this Italian Restaurant and of course I got pissed off at Nancy. She is incredibly stupid for someone who is 54 years old. She did not know anything about menopause or pereimenopause.

Then we got into half way eatting dinner and I just ask the waitress to pack up my Spaghetti and I left that place. But not before I told the stupid B**** not to come back over to our apartment.

Good thing Grandma is not alive. Heck, she would screw Frank's ass out for being friends with such a stupid B****.

This girl lets her adoptive Jew mother pay her rent, electricity, and etc. I have tried very hard to be nice to her for Frank's sake . I can not .

I just can not stand stupid people. They drive me crazy. I am losing my sanity very quickly.

The farther way we get from her. The better off we will be. She has a juvenile deliquent daughter who she believes in still a virgin. She is allowing this teen age daughter to shack with her boyfriend and thinking that the two are not having sexual intercourse. Oh yes, right!!

I am madder than a hatter. I know this is not my usual posting but right now I am one pissed BITCH and just thinking about this girl makes me  .

So I will try to post more later when I am in a better mood.

The Mass For The Holy Father was bi-lingual. I wish those minute men would come and take all these illegal Mexican Ailens back South of border.

Anyway, Take care.

Quote " I Timothy 3:1-5

The question asked to many is should the New Holy Father allow Priests to marry.  That question is taken up in I Timothy 3:1-5 as well as for Deacons of the Church as well.

There is no scriptural authority for women to be ordained as Priests within the Holy Church or any other Christian Church in fact.

It is due to the shortage of men entering into the Holy Order of Priesthood as well as the shortage of men entering into the Seminaries even within many of the Protestant Denominations is one reason why Churches are allowing women to be ordained as ministers and pastors within certain liberal Protestant Churches such as The United Methodist, Lutheran, and other churches.

Even within the branch of Reformed Judaism. They are ordaining women as Rabbis.  

The Church should allow women to have a bigger role with in the Church. However, if a church is to scripturally sound and biblically based . It was be purported and supported by Scripture.

One must read I Timothy Chapter Three all the way through. It does state A bishop or a deacon may only have one wife. This means that divorce is out of the question.   If a wife of a bishop or deacon dies. The man may not re-marry.

The Church has a long lengthy list of topics to discuss. Some much more germain if you ask me such as allowing divorce Christian Catholics who remarry without a church anullment to be allow to receive Holy Eucharist.

The Church needs to address the issue of a Christian-Catholic who marries out side of the Faith.  In lieu of the Terri Schiavo case which is about a Christian Catholic who marries a Christian-Protestant-Lutheran who does not under the teaching of the Church.

The Church needs to prep engaged couples a much longer time in PreCana Wedding Preparation.  The church needs to make sure that the non-Christian Catholic understands what the Christian Catholic spouse teachings of the church is.

The Church needs to make sure that they deny certain couples the right to marry within the church in lieu of The Terri Schiavo case.

The issue of Birth control needs to be addressed. If the church wants couples to have children . They need to come up with the financial support for the couple rather than couple support the children.

The Church has much to discuss when the New Holy Father is elected and takes office.

We will watch and see.

A Child of The Church,

It is year of Our Lord, 1821, in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Mother Elizabeth Ann Baley Seton, who is the Mother Superior of The Holy Order of The American Sisters of Charity lies dying in her bedroom in the WhiteHouse in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

Mother Seton is dying of T.B. She is only 46 years of age.  She was born in 1774 in New York two years before The United States declares it's independence from England under the rule of King George The III.

She is the youngest daughter of two daughters born to a English Doctor, William Baley and his wife, Catherine, who dies in child birth giving birth to their youngest child, another daughter who dies infancy.

Young Elizabeth Ann Baley and her sister, Mary are sent away to live with their Uncle in New Rochelle, New York and his family.

Elizabeth was born into a predominate Episcoplian family.  She loves to read the Bible and and can recite the scriptures by heart.

What attracts Elizabeth Baley to a young man, William Seton. He comes from a wealthy family who is also Episcoplian. They marry when she is eightteen and they have five children. Two sons and three daughters.

1803, William fells victim to T.B. and doctors urge the Setons to go overseas to a warmer climate. This way be the only way William Seton may be able to recover.

William has wealthy Italian friends, The Fichillis'.   Well, Elizabeth, William and the oldest daughter, Anna Marie, are kept in quarantine. This is because of a outbreak of Typus.   After awhile, they are let out but Williams condition worses and William passes of TB on December 27.

The Fichillis family taken in Elizabeth and Anne Marie. They show her kindness and Elizabeth is drawn to The Catholic Faith.

Elizabeth and Anne Marie return to New York and she declares her intentions of becoming Catholic. Her family thinks she is mad because of her husband's death. This does not deter her any.

She goes to Mass and at that time Protestants hated The Catholics in New York but she remains firm.

Elizabeth and her children are taken and received in to church.  They move to Baltimore, Maryland which is the heart of the Catholic Church at that time. It is under the direction of Bishop Carroll. 

He gives her a job as a teacher in a Catholic School and then asks her to form the first holy order for women which she will be the founder.

The name of the Holy Order is American Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph.

________________________________________________________

Right before Mother Seton passes away, she gives her Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph more one order " Go out and be children of the church". Then she asks for one more Holy Eucharist and then passes into eternal life on January 4, 1821.

It is The Late Pope Paul the Sixth that canonizes her on September 14, 1976 at St.Peters Square.  He declares that Elizabeth Ann Baley Seton is a Saint of the Holy Catholic Church.

What can we learn from Mother Seton's final orders to her American Sisters of Charity.  We can learn that Our Late Beloved Holy Father, Pope Paul John II, was truly a child of the church.  He did exactly as Mother Seton had asked her Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph to do.

He went out and proclaimed the gospel message.  He embraced all faiths groups and did not compromise that which was important.

He was a faithful child of the church. A Shepherd to the Worldwide Church and a faithful and loyal servant to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Just as Terri Schiavo was a child of the church. No one thought about seeing that her faith was protected.  Certainly not by her non-Christian-Catholic husband, Michael Schiavo.

Both Our Holy Father and Terri Schiavo have entered into the Joy of Their Lord.

Praise Be To God. We will miss the Holy Father and we feel compassion for the Schindlers family.

God Rest Both Souls
