I get all kind of phone calls, for me to advertise from different websites, I never did.
Last Sunday at mass the Priest asked us, his parishioners. to place any kind of ad in the bulletin or the Church will have no more bulletin.
That’s when I said why not, so I placed an ad for ByCatholics.com. Of course the ad came out wrong, in stead of ByCatholics.com they printed ByCatholics.org.
So for you the parishioners from Gesu Catholic Church in Miami, Florida ByCatholics.com is the website that the ad was supposed to promote.
I created this Blog for different Catholics to post writings not just for me.
And I got a few responses, except there where all spammers.
So on 09/09/2009 I switched to WordPress MU, another free script from ByCatholics.com except I got even more spammers.
Unfortunately for the last 17 month I have some health problems wit my liver so I could not keep up with the website.
I am still fixing bugs on this new format is more strict then the regular WordPress.
Since I had about 52 new blogs all bad and malicious I closed the automatic subscription, so I have to ask you if you would like to open a new blog to leave a comment instead.

Care for creation is an ancient Catholic concern that has taken on renewed urgency in recent decades. Catholics are examining their faith-related responsibility to protect the environment. Earth Day and the legacy of St. Francis of Assisi share the goal of protecting the environment and all of God’s creation. American Catholic Earth Day is a call to stewardship and environmental justice. Discover more about St. Francis of Assisi, lover of all creation.
The stations, His way of the cross, are our way of salvation, too. We must often apply their power to our own life situation. This can be done anywhere, at home, on a park bench, waiting for a train, or a friend.
Let us make His way of the cross our way of life.
The Way of the Cross is a devotion in which we accompany, in spirit, our blessed Lord in His sorrowful journey to Calvary, and devoutly meditate on His suffering and death.
All that is required to gain the indulgence is to meditate for a few minutes at each station. No vocal prayers are necessary. However, those prayers printed here may prove helpful.
The Germanic word Lent (lecten), which we use to denote the forty days of preparation preceding the Paschal feast, originally meant simply the spring season. It has been used since the Anglo-Saxon period (9th Century) to translate the more significant Latin term quadragesima, meaning the “forty days”, or more literally the “fortieth day”. This in turn imitated the Greek name for Lent, tessarakoste (fortieth), a word formed from the relationship to the word Pentecost (pentekoste), which had been used as a name for the Jewish festival before the time of Christ.
In the first three centuries of Christian experience, preparation for the Paschal feast usually covered a period of one or two days, perhaps a week at the most. Saint Irenaeus of Lyons (ca AD 140-202) even speaks of a forty-hour preparation for the Paschal celebration.
The first reference to Lent as a period of forty days preparation occurs in the teachings of the First Council of Nicea in AD 325. By the end of the fourth century, a Lenten period of forty days was established and accepted in the Church. Pope St. Leo (d. 461) exhorts the faithful to abstain they they may “fulfill with their fasts the Apostolic institution of the forty days.”
In its early development Lent quickly became associated with the sacrament of baptism, since Easter was the great baptismal feast. Those who were preparing to be baptized participated in the season of Lent in preparation for the reception of the sacrament of baptism. Eventually, those who were already baptized considered it important to join these candidates preparing for baptism in their preparation for Easter. The customs and practices of Lent, as we know them today, soon took hold.
The following article represents an alternative view and analysis of global climate change, which challenges the dominant Global Warming Consensus.
Global Research does not necessarily endorse the proposition of “Global Cooling”, nor does it accept at face value the Consensus on Global Warming. Our purpose is to encourage a more balanced debate on the topic of global climate change.
Two weeks ago, after writing about the possibility that the Earth may actually be entering a cooling phase, I braced myself for a torrent of icy missives from the global warming crowd suggesting that the heat must have fried my noggin. By the way, it is very difficult to discuss global cooling in the midst of a summer when temperatures are hovering around 100 degrees and crops are wilting. As one friend and colleague from the sweltering Southwest noted after reading the column, “Please send some of that cooling this way.”
