I've downloaded the pic to save.<br /><br />It's beautiful.<br /><br />She's not much known in these parts but I'll go back and review one of Fr. John Boyle's posts re: Our Lady of Walsingham. I gather she is THE Mary most after English hearts, as Our Lady of Fatima would be to Portugal, Guadalupe to the Mexicans, etc.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-86596975798701033562009-11-09T15:43:48.426+00:002009-11-09T15:43:48.426+00:00Gem ,sorry off topic,but had to let you know,that...Gem ,sorry off topic,but had to let you know,that the picture on Fr Ray's<br />blog is Our Lady of Walsingham.Am going to Walsingham this weekend,will light a candle for you,and all you faithful bloggers in the U.S.A.Sandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-61667624348861126052009-11-09T10:49:54.214+00:002009-11-09T10:49:54.214+00:00Amen! love ya Gem, I totally agree
Any Congressme...Amen! love ya Gem, I totally agree<br /><br />Any Congressmen/woman who voted for this bill I will personally pink slip.<br /><br />I'm sick of this as well..Next time I'm in Idaho, I'm heading up that direction :)Joe of St. Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506671882770822003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-17307900482974116392009-11-09T06:48:24.718+00:002009-11-09T06:48:24.718+00:00I seriously wonder that myself. Is there room up ...I seriously wonder that myself. Is there room up there in Idaho for ME? Especially seeing as you have a nearby FSSP padre. I'm not in the mood for anyone's **** right now, and right now they're the ones doing the job.<br /><br />Of course, if I wait too long, Idaho may be overcrowded with refugees. But what the hell, you only live once.<br /><br /><br />These bastards just did not listen, did they over the summer? What part of "angry mob with pitchforks" did they not get through their thick skulls?<br /><br />and as digi mentioned on facebook, naturally, there's no guarantee at all that in the final bill the Stupak amendment would be included.<br /><br />Tell me that bitch Nancy et al didn't make some backdoor deals with the senate.<br /><br />Just like the weasels in the UCCSB last year gave "seamless garment" type Catholics wiggle room to vote for proaborts, they pretended this POS of a bill was going to be candy if they just "fixed" that one thing [i.e. abortion] N#ver mind all the other crap that was in it.<br /><br />And of course the hypocrits in congress have already exempted THEMSELVES from any of this.<br /><br />I guess so that if they get their asses shot at THEY will have good medical care, while the rest of us peons get a government panel to decide if we are worth speanding money on. Damn them all to hell.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-3100633603883529082009-11-09T04:28:34.631+00:002009-11-09T04:28:34.631+00:00Amen!!
