Dela-The Beautiful girls

A beautiful song originally done by Johnny Clegg that makes me smile. DELA means "possess long enough/satisfy/stretch long" in Zulu (a major indigenous South African tribe).

One day I looked up and there you were Like a simple question looking for an answer Now I am aware Listening to some inner call And swimming blindly to find myself upon your shore

What if don't find you and I have landed Would you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon x2

Chorus: Dela dela. When I'm with you Dela. I'll burn for you

I've been waiting all my life Waiting for a miracle I've been waiting day and night I've been waiting all my life Hoping for redemption I've been waiting day and night, day and night

Chorus

A flying bird sings inside this cage that is my heart The image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark What if I could give a shape onto this ache I have for you What if I could find my voice to speak the words that capture you? I think I know?. I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

Chorus

Proposal song :)

Dearest Katie,

This song I wrote in time spent thinking of our love together,
I pray it paints my love with colour and with shading,
Today I sit with you like many days we've spent together,
Six years at least of inspiration fun and laughter,

And know I know the time is right,
In faith with love for family,
I ask you now to be my wife,
And marry me,

From the start I knew this time would come and we would marry,
Set goals and dream of future life with faith and passion,
Belief we both have seen settle into our purest calling,
Our lives to join, our souls to merge, never to falter,

And know I know the time is right,
In faith with love for family,
I ask you now to be my wife,
Dearest Katie.

Love Christian.


Written by my darling Christian.

Down in Flames

She cries her eyes out on his shoulder.And through the tears begins to smile.She says, "would you lift me up, lift me up again..." "Like a hijacked aeroplane, let's go down in flames...And burn the night away."
She says, "Wake me when it's over..." "I just can't take it anymore." "Would you lift me up... lift me up again..." "And if it's not too much to ask...When you're leaving don't look back... don't look back."
Just look me up and I will help you out.Say that you won't leave, and I'll be yours tonight.
She don?t say much when she's sober.When the bar lights all go out.She'll just close her eyes and send a thought my way.Like a high speed motorcade, let's go up in flames...And burn the night away.
Just look me up and I will help you out.Say that you won't leave, and I'll be yours tonight.
She cries her eyes out on his shoulder.And through the tears begins to smile.She says, "would you lift me up, lift me up again..." "Like a hijacked aeroplane, let's go down in flames...And burn the night away."
She says, "Wake me when it's over..." "I just can't take it anymore " "Would you lift me up... lift me up again..." "And if it's not too much to ask...When you're leaving don't look back... don't look back."

Tightrope walker

She says, "I'm dying everyday, would you save me?""Would you pick me up and out of this pain?"She says, "Darling I can't recall why my chest insists to rise and fall."And as he's watching her eyelids close in the T.V. glow,He can't help thinking that...She's a tightrope walker... and he's the streets below.

So put your arms down honey. This ain't no execution.I was just watching you sleep.So put that crown down sugar.This ain't no crucifixion.I was just watching you sleep...I was just watching you.

She says, "I'm praying everyday, but no one hears me""No one gives a fuck about me and my pain."She says, "Darling I can't recall why my heart wants to beat at all."And as he's watching her eyelids close in the T.V. glow,He can't help thinking that...She's a tightrope walker... and he's the streets below.

So put your arms down honey.This ain't no execution.I was just watching you sleep.So put that crown down sugar.This ain't no crucifixion.I was just watching you sleep...I was just watching you...sleep.I was just watching you... sleepI was just watching you wave me goodbye.

So put your arms down honey.This ain't no execution.I was just watching you sleep.So put that crown down sugar.This ain't no crucifixion.I was just watching you sleep... I was just watching you.

Why do Catholics believe in seven sacraments, while Protestants believe in only two? Exactly what is a sacrament, and what does it do for a person?
Catholics believe in seven sacraments because Christ instituted seven; because the Apostles and Church Fathers believed in seven; because the second Ecumenical Council of Lyons (1274) defined seven; and because the Ecumenical Council of Trent (1545-1563) confirmed seven. In short, the enumeration, seven, arises from the perpetual tradition of Christian belief, which explains why that enumeration is accepted not only by Catholics, but by all of the other ancient and semi-ancient Christian communities, Egyptian Coptic, Ethiopian Monophysite, Syrian Jacobite, Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox.
To understand what a sacrament is, and what it does for a person, one must know the correct, the traditional Christian, definition of a sacrament. Properly defined, a sacrament is an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace"(holiness) to the soul...that is to say, it is a divinely prescribed ceremony of the Church in which the words and action combine to form what is at the same time both a sign of divine grace and a fount of divine grace. When this special grace, distinct from ordinary, inspirational grace, is imparted to the soul, the Holy Spirit of God is imparted to the soul, imbuing the soul with divine life, uniting the soul to Christ.
As the Scriptures point out, this grace is the grace of salvation, without it man is, in a very real sense, isolated from Christ. And as the Scriptures point out, Christ gave His Church seven sacraments to serve as well-springs of this ineffable, soul-saving grace, the grace which flows from His sacrifice on Calvary:
BAPTISM—the sacrament of spiritual rebirth through which we are made children of God and heirs of Heaven: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of god." (John 3:5. Also see Acts 2:38, Rom. 6:2-6).
CONFIRMATION—the sacrament which confers the Holy Spirit to make us strong and perfect Christians and soldiers of Jesus Christ: "Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost....Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost." (Acts 8:14-17. Also see Acts 19:6).
The EUCHARIST—the sacrament, also known as Holy Communion, which nourishes the soul with the true Flesh and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus, under the appearance, or sacramental veil, of bread and wine: And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke, and gave to them, and said: Take ye. This is my body. And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it. And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many." (Mark 14:22-24. Also see Matt. 26:26-28, Luke 22:19-20, John 6:52-54, 1 Cor. 10:16).
PENANCE—the sacrament, also known as Confession, through which Christ forgives sin and restores the soul to grace: "Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained." (John 20:22-23. Also see Matt. 18:18).
EXTREME UNCTION—the sacrament, sometimes called the Last Anointing, which strengthens the sick and sanctifies the dying: "Is any many sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord...and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him." (James 5:14-. Also see Mark 6:12-13).
HOLY ORDERS—the sacrament of ordination which empowers priests to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, administer the sacraments, and officiate over all the other proper affairs of the Church: "For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins...Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was." (Heb. 5:1-4. Also see Acts 20:28, 1 Tim. 4:14). Also: "And taking bread, he gave thanks, and broke; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me." (Luke 22:19).
MATRIMONY—the sacrament which unites a man and woman in a holy and indissoluble bond: "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." (Matt. 19:5-6. Also see Mark 10:7-9, Eph. 5:22-32).
There you have it, the Word of Christ and the example of the Apostles attesting both to the validity and the efficacy of the seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church. In truth, every one of them is an integral part of Christ's plan for man's eternal salvation. Why does the Catholic Church discourage Bible reading when, according to the Apostle, "All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach...[and] to instruct in justice"? (2 Tim. 3:16).
If the Catholic Church discourages Bible reading, the Pope, the thousands of Catholic Bishops, and the many millions of Catholic lay people, are not aware of it. For the Popes have issued pastoral letters to the whole Church, called encyclicals, on the edifying effects of Bible reading. The Catholic bible far outsells all other Christian Bibles worldwide. In fact, it has always been thus. The very first Christian Bible was produced by the Catholic Church, compiled by Catholic scholars of the 2nd and 3rd century and approved for general Christian use by the Catholic Councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397). The very first printed Bible was produced under the auspices of the Catholic Church, printed by the Catholic inventor of the printing press, Johannes Gutenberg. And the very first Bible with chapters and numbered verses was produced by the Catholic Church, the work of Stephen Langton, Cardinal Archbishop of Canterbury. It was this perennial Catholic devotion to the bible which prompted Martin Luther, who certainly cannot be accused of Catholic favouritism, to write in his Commentary of St. John: "We are compelled to concede to the Papists that they have the Word of God, that we received it from them, and that without them we should have no knowledge of it at all."

Why do Catholics believe that Peter the Apostle was the first Pope, when the word "Pope" does not even appear in Catholics Bibles? Just where does the Pope get his authority to rule over the Catholic Church?
True, the word Pope does not appear in the bible but then neither do the words "Trinity," "Incarnation," "Ascension," and "Bible," appear in the Bible. However, they are referred to by other names. The Bible, for example, is referred to as "Scripture". The Pope, which means head bishop of the Church, is referred to as the "rock" of the Church, or as the "shepherd" of the Church, Christ used that terminology when He appointed the Apostle Peter the first head bishop of His Church, saying: "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona...Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build by church." (Matt. 16:17-19). "There shall be one fold and one shepherd." (John 10:16). "Feed my lambs...feed my sheep." (John 21:15-17). The words "rock" and "shepherd." (John 10:16). "Feed my lambs…feed my sheep." (John 21:15-17). The words "rock" and "shepherd" must apply to Peter, and they must distinguish him as the head Apostle, otherwise Christ's statements are so ambiguous as to be meaningless. Certainly the other Apostles understood that Peter had authority from Christ to lead the Church, for they gave him the presiding place every time they assembled in council (Acts 1:15, 5:1-10), and they placed his name first every time they listed the names of the Apostles. (Matt. 10:2, Mark 3:16, Luke 6:13-14, Acts 1:13).
In addition, there is the testimony of the Church Fathers. In the second century St. Hegessipus compiled a list of Popes to the time of Anicetus (eleventh Pope) which contained the name of St. Peter as first. Early in the third century the historian Caius wrote that Pope Victor was "the thirteenth Bishop of Rome from Peter." In the middle of the third century St. Cyprian related that Cornelius (twenty-first Pope) "mounted the lofty summit of the priesthood...the place of Peter." Even Protestant historians have attested to Peter's role as first Bishop of Rome, first pope of the Catholic Church. Wrote the eminent Protestant historian Cave in his Historia Litiraria: "That Peter was at Rome, and held the See there for some time, we fearlessly affirm with the whole multitude of the ancients." Hence the source of the Pope's authority to rule over the Catholic Church is quite obvious: It was given him by none other than Jesus Christ, by God Himself.
-Paul Whitcomb

Why to Catholics believe that their Church is the one true Church of Jesus Christ? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to believe that Christ's true Church is a spiritual union of all Christian denomination?
Catholics believe that theirs is the one true Church of Jesus Christ, firstly, because theirs is the only Christian Church that goes back in history to the time of Christ; secondly, because theirs is the only Christian Church which possesses the invincible unity, the intrinsic holiness, the continual universality and the indisputable apostolicity which Christ said would distinguish His true Church; and thirdly, because the Apostles and primitive Church Fathers, who certainly were members of Christ's true Church, all professed membership in the same Catholic Church (See Apostles' Creed and the Primitive Christian letters). Wrote Ignatius of Antioch, illustrious Church Father of the first century: "Where the bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be, even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church." Our Lord said: "There shall be one fold and one shepherd, yet it is well know that the various Christian denominations cannot agree on what Christ actually taught. Since Christ roundly condemned inter-denominationalism, that house cannot stand." (Mark 3:25), Catholics cannot believe that He would even sanction it in His Church. Why do Catholics refuse to concede that their church became doctrinally corrupt in the Middle Ages, necessitating the Protestant Reformation?
Catholics refuse to concede such a thing out of faith in Jesus Christ. Christ solemnly pledged that the gates of Hell would never prevail against His Church (Matt. 16:18), and He solemnly promised that after His ascension into Heaven He would send His Church "another Paraclete...the spirit of truth," to dwell with it forever (John 14:16-17), and He inspired the Apostle Paul to describe His Church as "the pillar and ground of the truth." (1 Tim. 3:15). If the Catholic Church (which Protestants admit was the true Church of Jesus Christ before Luther's revolt) became doctrinally corrupt as alleged, it would mean that the gates of Hell had prevailed against it, it would mean that Christ had deceived His followers. Believing Christ to be the very essence of truth and integrity, Catholics cannot see how the division of Christianity into hundreds of rival camps and doctrinal variations can be called a "reformation" of the Christian Church. In the Catholic mind, hundreds of
conflicting interpretations of Christ's teachings do not add up to a true interpretation of Christ's teachings.
-Paul Whitcomb

Faith & works

http://www.ewtn.com/library/ANSWERS/JAMES2.HTM
So often fundamental aspects of our Catholic faith are misrepresented, at times unintentionally. This link provides the Catholic belief of faith and works.

A good way to advance in sanctity is to read Holy books, Holy Scripture, the Fathers of the Church and the Lives of the Saints. It is important to take time out of our busy schedule for God. - Mother Angelica

"To a certain extent I am a platonist. I think that a kind of memory, of recollection of God, is, as it were, etched in man, though it needs to be awakened. Man doesn't simpley know what he is supposed to know, nor is he simply there, but is a man, a being on the way". - Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger

The 10 Commandments

1.Love God
2.Keep the Lord's day holy
3.Don't take the Lord's name in vain
4.Love your Mother and Father
5.Shalt not kill
6.Shalt not commit adultery
7. Shalt not steal
8. Shalt not bear false witness
9.Shalt not covert thy neighbours goods
10 Shalt not covert thy neighbours wife/husband

Catholic Church- Dogma & Infallibility

...."As a matter of fact, this dogma does not mean that everything the Pope says is infallible. It simply means that in Christianity, at any rate, as Catholics believe, there is a final decision-making authority. That ultimately there can be binding decisons about essential issues and that we can be certain that they correctly interpret the heritage of Christ. In one form or another this obligatoriness is present in every Christian faith community, only it is not associated with the Pope". -Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger pp.182 in Salt of the Earth, 1996.

My true love hath my heart, & I have his -Sir Philip Sidney

My true Love hath my heart, and I have his,
By just exchange one for the other given;
I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss;
There never was a better bargain driven.
His heart in me keeps me and him in one,
My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides:
He loves my heart, for once it was his own;
I cherish his because in me it bides.
His heart his wound recieved from my sight,
My heart was wounded with his wounded heart;
For as for me, on him his hurt did light,
So still mwthought in me his hurt did smart.
Both equal hurt, in this change sought our bliss:
My true Love hath my heart, and I have his.
