those who gave and are giving their lives so that we may continue to be free + THE WOUNDED AND FALLEN RFF - FREEDOM FIGHTERS - 2 of 3 this series inspired by those wounded and who gave their lives for our freedom today. + The Communion of Saints Cloud of Witnesses Mystical Body of Christ + THE FALLEN STILL INTERCEDE The war rages on, and even if our wounded and fallen are not in the battle of flesh, they are still in the battle. THE WOUNDED: Those wounded who suffer pain every day are still able to offer their pain as redemptive sufferers. THE FALLEN: Those who have fallen in battle are still able to fight the war through intercessory prayer as members of the communion of saints, The Cloud of Witnesses and the Mystical Body of Christ. As intercessors, they are more powerful than we know! +
No matter where or who we are someone in our family history or ancestry, fought and gave their lives so their children and children's children - you and I - could live in freedom. Millions, one on one, spilled their life's blood to free us from tyranny and reminding us of how our lord, Jesus Christ gave his life blood so we could be saved from sin. + DREAMS FROM OUR FOREFATHERS whose dreams do we follow? The dreams of our forefathers are not the same as "Dreams From My Father" (1995 - a book written by one man, Barack Hussein Obama, president of our nation.) Our forefathers, in co-operation and prayer, wrote down their dreams for a new nation in 1767 - not in a book - but on parchment and called those dreams the "Constitution of the United Sates" (signed by 40 delegates) and the "Bill of Rights" (signed by 56). The First Amendment followed and was adopted December 15, 1791. Whose dreams are we to follow? + FIRST AMENDMENT
We must pray

We have listed some of the battles here in our nation - as a reminder - that made a difference for who we are today. Family members and ancestors who fought for the right to bear arms, freedom of religion, free speech, own property, start a business without government intervention - the Constitution of our nation along with the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights. + U.S. HISTORICAL CONFLICTS

*HOW WE MAY SERVE* |

The church on earth is called the Church MIlitant, in purgatory, The Church Penitent and in heaven, The Church Triumphant.. Do we know how to be members of the Church Militant? Did you know there is a Field Manual out as of June 2012 called the CHURCH MILITANT FIELD MANUAL?" to teach us how to respond to the call of Spiritual Heroism? + NO, WE SHALL NOT BE SAVED BY A FORMULA BUT BY A PERSON -JPII +
CHURCH MILITANT FIELD MANUAL "No, we shall not be saved by a formula but by a person"JPII (A Program for all times) " A Training in Holiness, written by Father Rick Fr. Rick Heilman. The spiritual devastation of the last few decades compelled Pope John Paul II to draw up his master plan for the New Millennium, the Apostolic Letter At the beginning of the third millennium, a “program for all times.” In his plan, he emphasized the importance of “starting afresh from Christ”: “No, we shall not be saved by a formula but by a Person.” Thus, Pope John Paul II called for pastoral initiatives that would focus on “Training in Holiness” |

*CCC COMMENTS* |
|
MYSTICAL BODY OF CHIRST? CCC 1396 The unity of the Mystical Body: the Eucharist makes the Church. Those who receive the Eucharist are united more closely to Christ. Through it Christ unites them to all the faithful in one body - the Church. Communion renews, strengthens, and deepens this incorporation into the Church, already achieved by Baptism. In Baptism we have been called to form but one body.233 The Eucharist fulfills this call: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread:"234 + COMMUNION OF SAINTS? CCC 1475 In the communion of saints, "a perennial link of charity exists between the faithful who have already reached their heavenly home, those who are expiating their sins in purgatory and those who are still pilgrims on earth. Between them there is, too, an abundant exchange of all good things."87 In this wonderful exchange, the holiness of one profits others, well beyond the harm that the sin of one could cause others. Thus recourse to the communion of saints lets the contrite sinner be more promptly and efficaciously purified of the punishments for sin. + THE CLOUD OF WITNESSES? CCC 2683 The witnesses who have preceded us into the kingdom,41 especially those whom the Church recognizes as saints, share in the living tradition of prayer by the example of their lives, the transmission of their writings, and their prayer today. They contemplate God, praise him and constantly care for those whom they have left on earth. When they entered into the joy of their Master, they were "put in charge of many things."42 Their intercession is their most exalted service to God's plan. We can and should ask them to intercede for us and for the whole world. |

Dear Children: My pilgrimage is over. I be you never forget me, stay united together, live unshakable in faith, soon we will be reunited in eternity. I am dying but my love does not die. I will love you in heaven as I have loved you on earth. I ask for prayers from all of you who have loved me, all who knew me. (Carol L fam) + 20 DECEMBER 1943. MONTREAL Dear Cousins - How many of your boys are in the Army? Are they on the battlefield? I worry if danger awaits them or have they stayed (here} to defend out side? It is always sad to approach this subject, but it is true that the war exists and it persists, fighting bitterly to reach the enemy as it is still strong, + Ah! That God loves suffering people, soldiers and parents, especially mothers. When the hour of deliverance rings, which of us will be waiting with impatience? + Ah not to mention all the horror of the dead, the injured, and the lost and also the foreigners who are arriving in Quebec by boat and all the hospital, St Anne de Bellevue, unable to return to their family. What is responsible for all of this is ambition and pride! (From Guild member Carol's granmoms first cousin, Mathilda McKevnen to her first cousin Anna LaPointe in Mi) + GRANDMOTHER STOOD OVER HIM My brother had just graduated from JMU. I suggested we to out and celebrate but he didn't feel very well so I joined the others for dinner. When I cam back to the dorm and opened the door. There was our grandmother standing over him. I knew my brother was dead, and he was. Our grandmother had passed a year before. She had simply come to welcome him home. (from my neighbor) |
