Today is my pray day for CmomC. If you have any special requests, let me know.
St Thomas Becket, patron of the clergy, teaches us about the struggle for church, independent of government.
St David, King & prophet, chosen and forgiven by God despite sinning, teaches that we must repent deeply when we wrong God and others
The 5th Day of Christmas… 5 golden rings (Pentateuch… first 5 books of the Bible)
Many have said the song titled “The 12 Days of Christmas” has hidden meaning. I have not found this to be confirmed on any level, and in fact, I have heard it said that this is not true. However, as I examine the meanings attributed to them, I personally find them inspiring.
Partridge in a Pear tree… Jesus Christ
Two Turtle Doves… Old & New Testament
Three French Hens… faith, hope, love
Four Calling Birds… Matthew, Mark, Luke, John (the gospels)
Five Golden Rings… Pentateuch
Six Geese-a-Laying… six days of creation before the seventh day of rest
Seven Swans-a-Swimming… seven gifts of the Holy Spirit
Eight Maids-a-Milking… the Beatitudes
Nine Ladies Dancing…the Fruit of the Spirit
Ten Lords-a-Leaping… the Ten Commandments
Eleven Pipers Piping… the eleven faithful disciples
12 Drummers Drumming… the twelve points of belief in the Apostles’ Creed
RIAY Day 363: The Joyful Mysteries
Magi Novena Day 3
Reminding you that Christmas is NOT over.
Know you are prayed for.
