How Do You Deal with Stress?

"Music has charms to soothe a savage breast."

To say the least, the past few months have been a tsunami of pain for our family. My grandson's suicide in May was followed in September by my brother's unexpected final illness and death.

A few weeks prior to that my sister fell, was hospitalized and transitioned to a rehab center where it was determined she wasn't really safe to go home.  Now, since I'm her power of attorney, my husband and I are dealing with the challenge of cleaning out her apartment and getting all her paperwork in order. Over 30 years of accumulation makes for quite a sorting job. On top of that, she's stressed by all the changes as well and is not exactly a ray of sunshine. Some days I'm frustrated with her, but try not to lose my own equilibrium.

Nabi Sayeth: The Games They Played in the Seminary!

This 2002 exposé burst the
lid off the scandalous goings
on in American seminaries!

Nabi sayeth: To understand the pain that has been inflicted on our people one must look deeply into the causes for such problems, most especially, at the training received by the seminarians who would one day become priests.

And while there are some good schools which are faithful to the Catholic Church’s teachings some have not been so faithful, some have rejected Catholic doctrine.

One of the seminaries used most often and for many years by the diocese in WV is located in Baltimore. And what did many of our seminarians encounter when they entered the doors of this institution in the 70-80’s?

• Women were permitted to take classes along with the seminarians.

• The Rosary was not prayed by the seminary community. If one was found to be praying the Rosary regularly one’s vocation could be called into question by the faculty evaluation committee. Yes, there were those whose use of the Rosary was called into question and they were labeled “too traditional” and not psychologically fit.

Out of Africa: The Youngest Dioceses in the World at the Synod!

Cardinal Napier criticized the "Eurocentric"
nature of youth synod documents, a particular
oversight since the youngest Church in the
 world is on the continent of Africa --
vibrant and growing! "Go Catholic Africa!"

I haven't written much about the youth synod up to now -- well -- except about the pope accepting the stang from the girl wearing the red string bracelet at the opening Mass.

Why is that, I wonder?

It certainly isn't because I'm not interested. But
I've pretty much avoided the news reports up to now and closed my eyes to all the journalists and bloggers and Facebook comments reporting on the synod.

Perhaps it's just too depressing.

After all, the youth are the future of the world...and the Church. And my heart drops into my shoes when I consider how the culture and evil men in roman collars gobble up the bodies and souls of our children. They pay lip service to the abortion holocaust as the bruised and battered bodies of Christ's little ones pile up to heavens screaming for justice. The angst and mourning of these men is reserved for the abuse of the rain forest and those invading our country. Say another Mass at the border; name another sanctuary city. Ignore the babies "buried" in America's landfills.

It's insane!

Unmasking the False Shepherds: Cardinal Maradiaga

Cardinal Maradiaga, Marxist defender
of the indefensible.

Nabi pointed out earlier today how the false shepherds ravage the flock. He's unmasked some of them in the diocese of Wheeling and Charleston.

But a host of these evil men have wormed their way into the bowels of the Vatican like parasites who suck the life out of their hosts. And that's what they are attempting to do to Holy Mother Church.

We'll look at some of them over the next few weeks. Pray for the Lord to deal with them in the way they deserve and to bring us true shepherds after His own heart to feed the flock.

Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga: 

Nabi Sayeth: The Health of the Flock Depends on the Shepherd!

Obvious Answer! 

Editor's Note: Our shepherds are spiritual physicians. If they dispense a healthy prescription --an example of truth, virtue, goodness, beauty and respect for others -- they encourage a healthy flock. If they dispense poison -- an example of lies, corruption, greed, lust, pride, and contempt for others -- they create the diocese from hell. Even in those dioceses, however, one can find faithful shepherds, but it is much more difficult. 

The moral? Pray and fight for orthodoxy and support faithful and holy priests! And don't tolerate bishops who hide the truth and cover up the corruption. It needs to be exposed. McCarrick could only continue living his double life because his activities were hidden -- Pope Benedict failed us by not publicly admonishing McCarrick and letting the faithful know he had levied sanctions against him. Shame on them all!

Nabi Sayeth: Climbers, Climbers Everywhere nor any Saint amongst Them!

The only ladder worth climbing
leads to heaven. Painting: Jacob's
Dream by William Blake

Nabi sayeth...Climbers, climbers everywhere …..and tragically in Our Lord’s Holy Church.

Have you ever wondered why, especially when Our Lord Jesus teaches just the opposite?

Luke 14: 7-14

7
He told a parable to those who had been invited, noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table.
8
“When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not recline at table in the place of honor. A more distinguished guest than you may have been invited by him,

Nabi Sayeth: There's a Sinister Back Story to the Homosexual Infestation of the Church

St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, known for
years as the Pink Palace
for its homosexual infestation.

Nabi asketh: Have you ever wondered - why do so many homosexuals end up in the Roman Catholic priesthood? What’s the attraction?

From the outset, it is important to know that for many it has nothing to do with a desire to grow in holiness. Nor does it really have anything to do with serving Jesus or His people.

The Catholic seminary and priesthood beginning years ago became a safe haven for homosexual males. A priest who had attended a seminary where most priests of the diocese in WV had attended told Nabi about an encounter that occurred involving a fellow WV seminarian, Jeff Catlett, a nephew of the former great WVU basketball coach, Gale Catlett.

After two years in a Turkish prison Pastor Andrew Brunson has been freed through the intervention of President Trump. The Presbyterian clergyman faced decades in jail for "christianization" of the Islamic country.
