WAKING, a New Day

Posted by Be Holy on October 15, 2014
Posted in: Uncategorized. Leave a comment

Good morning ,dear Savior.
Here I Am,
Yours, at the break of a new day.

Joyously, I look to You,
You, Who smiles upon me.

I open my eyes looking for You,
You, Who have guarded Your beloved in her sleep,
And loved me as mother and father.

I have slept, secure in Your great arms,
Nestled beneath Your “Abundant Breast.”
Receive my heart
As I offer it to You, anew.

Kisses, my King.
All for You!

Copyright 2014 Joann Nelander

God bless you, as you read this. May we, who struggle here,
Laugh together in heaven. Glory to God!

UK Parliament votes 274-12 in favor of recognizing “the state of Palestine” : Jihad Watch

Posted by Be Holy on October 15, 2014
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: Catholic, Christian, Opinions, Palestinian jihad, Political, Religion, United Kingdom, Useful idiots, willful ignorance. 1 Comment

Robert Spencer:

As long as the hopelessly compromised and abjectly surrendering Brits are recognizing terror states that do not exist, why don’t they recognize Nazi Germany and Democratic Kampuchea along with “Palestine”? A “Palestinian” state would not make for a peaceful resolution of the jihad against Israel. It would simply become a new jihad base for newly virulent attacks against a weakened Israel. Do the British MPs know this? Probably not. Would they care if they did? Probably not.

How many times does this have to be done before the political elites get a clue? Or are they so thoroughly bought and paid for that that will never happen? The Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 was supposed to bring peace. Instead, I and just a few others warned that Gaza would just become a new jihad terror base. And we were right. So also, a “Palestinian” state would become yet another jihad terror base for attacks against a reduced, truncated Israel. The various “Palestinian” factions have never recognized Israel or retreated even one step from their repeated vows to destroy it utterly. Do these clowns even know what “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” means?

As long as they’re voting for jihad, how long will it be before the UK Parliament goes whole hog, as it were, and votes 274-12 to adopt Sharia as the sole law of the land? It would “promote community cohesion,” eh wot?

If and When

Posted by Be Holy on October 13, 2014
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: blindness, Catholic, Christian, faith, God, poem, poetry, prayer, religion and spirituality, The Cross, vision. Leave a comment

My dearest Heart,
If I but had pure vision
Of Your Holiness,
My soul would take wing,
To break the hold
And travesty accursed,
Which chains me here,
Forever, casting off,
The gravity of Sin.

Hold, before my eyes,
The Christ upon the Cross,
That Longinus beheld,
That I, too, might soar to Your Side,
And enter there that Wound,
Which You love best,
That holy invitation,
That bids me “enter here”.

No accident of fate,
That sword that pierced Your Heart
But providential lance of Holy Love,
That freed, fortuitous,
The wellspring of Salvation.

The sight of Love dying,
And undying,
Crosses the divide of Heaven and Hell,
To bathe with healing,
My eyes, as Raphael did Tobit.
And causes me to say with blind Bartimaeus,
In compassionate encounter,
“Lord, that I might see.”

Love bathes me, as Mother,
At the first sign of my distress,
Before my disbelief of Mercy
Could raise objection
To Your eternal Kindness.

In the sunrise of the First Morn
Of New Day,
I see You, my sweetest Heart,
Resplendent, yet still pierced.

O, my Resurrected Lord,
Promise of my victory,
I adore with Seraphic praise,
And taking wing,
I rise with Thee.

Sharia and Jihad Changing the Face and Future of UK

This article was sent to me bright and early from a friend who has been watching the middle east over the years and warning of the dangers and dilemmas of Islam and the parties involves across the nations of the region  and the world. My morning may be bright but there are storm clouds gathering:

Gang Rapes, ‘Junior Jihadists’ and Runaway Shariaby Soeren Kern

October 12, 2014 at 5:00 am

“Islam is a religion of peace and has nothing to do with the ideology of our enemies.” — Home Secretary Theresa May, on the beading of David Haines by IS in Syria.

The documentary did not shed light on why the British government continues to allow Sharia law to take precedence over UK law by tolerating polygamy.

“You’ve got an eight, nine, 10-year-old child playing those kind of violent games with heads blowing off and limbs blowing off. What kind of mentality is that kid going to have?” — Convicted terrorist Shahid Butt blaming video games for radicalization of Muslim youth.

“Gangs raping children get let off and ignored, people making comments about it get chased down and treated more severely than the rapists.” — Angry citizen in South Yorkshire

Islam-related issues were widespread in Britain during the month of September 2014. What follows is a summary of the main stories, presented in three broad themes.

1. Islamic Extremism and Syria-Related Threats

The House of Commons on September 26 voted 524 to 43 to approve a request by British Prime Minister David Cameron to join the American-led coalition against the jihadist group Islamic State [IS], but only in Iraq, not in Syria where the IS has established its headquarters.

The vote came after IS jihadists decapitated the British aid worker David Haines in Syria on September 14.

In a politically correct statement on the beheading, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg claimed that the murder had nothing to do with Islam. “No religion could possibly justify such grotesque acts,” he declared.

Message to Obama from a Former Muslim

Posted by Be Holy on October 11, 2014
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: Brother Rasheed, Former, intrinsic Evil, Islam, Message to Obama, Muslim, opinion, peace, video, wickedness. Leave a comment

Brother Rasheed provides excellent summary of the true nature of Islam in this video. Please ignore the Hebrew subtexts.

*Please remember that you cannot prove the peaceful intentions of Islam by pointing to the millions of people who chose through decency to ignore its tenets that preach violence.  That simply proves they recognize and reject intrinsic evil.
