Confirmation: Forrming us as a true Catholic

 One thing I heard last night at the Confirmation session which I found quite unique Here it is :

What are are the two main Ingredients to make flour tortillas.... Flour and Water .Before Baptism we are like  flour we are thin and incomplete,when danger comes upon us ( the Devil) and blows us away because we are not firm (in our faith0,after Baptism we add water making us somewhat lumpy and doughy. Once we are being formed (preparing for Confirmation) and put in the fire to be baked and made a true Catholic (Confirmation) afterward we are are able to engage more fully in our faith and be a soldier of the lord being able to conquer evil.I can't wait to receive the sacrament of Confirmation on Jun 11th.........74 days away.

Mark Mallett

Mark Mallet is a Catholic Canadian singer/songwriter.He is probably one of my favorite Catholic singers who I listen to.He has done a CD on the "Rosary" accompanied with meditations on "Our Lady Of Guadalupe".I think this is probably why Bishop Vann (The Bishop of Fort Worth) likes it so much I have heard he told my Dad that is the only thing he listens to in his car and has taken all of his other music out.Mark has also done one on the "Divine Mercy Chaplet" intertwined with "The Stations Of The Cross" .Most of his songs I have memorized and hum and sing frequently.To go to his website Click Here also here is two of his songs they are Kingdom of Freedom and Makin' My Way

Gregorian Chant

Gregorian Chant is one of my favorite kinds of music aside from Religious and Classical. Whenever people ask me about my favorite kind of music and I mention it they look puzzled and veer away from it. Why? Because it is not well known anymore in the Catholic Church which is sad.
How did it come along? Well actually Chants originated upon the songs sung in the synagogues and Middle Eastern countries.Gregorian Chant was adopted by the Christian Church in about the 6th Century and it quickly became an essential part of Christian worship.
It was named after Pope Gregory the Great who unified all the chants into one collection. This soon became an essential part of monastic worship and monks would write new chants and take them from monastery to monastery.In the early days the chant wasn't copied into books. It had to be memorised and it would take monks many years to learn all the different songs.
Unfortunately Gregorian Chant has now largely fallen into disuse in the Catholic church because of widespread change in the services.
One reason why I like Gregorian Chant is because it is calming and soothing.And since Gregorian Chant is a form of prayer it is a way of praying three times like Saint Paul said

P.S. Here is a Video this is the Latin chant "Salve Regina" (or Hail, Holy Queen, which is a common Catholic prayer) performed by the monks of the Abbey of Notre Dame.

What Church Father Are You?

I'm Origen!

You do nothing by half-measures. If you’re going to read the Bible, you want to read it in the original languages. If you’re going to teach, you’re going to reach as many souls as possible, through a proliferation of lectures and books. If you’re a guy and you’re going to fight for purity … well, you’d better hide the kitchen shears.
