What’s the quote?z
Alas our information on many early Saints is so limited that no quote is possible. When I started this project I was going to limit myself to saints and blesseds with a large record of activities and sayings. With the passage of years I am now often dealing with rather obscure saints.
Mr. McClarey, can you recommend for me a good book on the life of Gen. Rosecrans that does not diminish the aspect of his faith? Thank you.
Answered in the other thread where you posed the question about Rosecrans.
The vegetative state of the soul is the devil’s lie. Our mother, the Immaculate Conception came in 1854 to bring us the truth about the human being’s soul created in original innocence. Our Blessed Mother’s soul created in original innocence, requested of her Creator perpetual virginity in body and soul. Mary willed freely to sublimate her will to the will of God. Mary’s will was in perfect conformity to the will of God, her Creator.
While Mary’s immaculate soul was directing the gestation of her body in the womb of St. Anne, Mary contemplated her Divine Creator, the Infinite Supreme Sovereign Being.
Mary’s immaculate soul was and is always and forever more in perpetual contemplation and perfect conformity to her Beloved and Divine Trinity, God, the only true God, the Infinite Supreme Sovereign Being Who was and Who is and Who will be forever more.
The soul, the rational transcendent soul of every human being ever created, as all souls of man are, is created in original innocence with the power and blessings to contemplate our God, “their Creator” of our Declaration of Independence.
While man is gestating in the womb of his mother, man’s soul is enjoying his beauty, his coming to be, his coming out birthing, but mostly man’s soul is enjoying his being created in orginial innocence. Seeing his Creator in the midst of his creation, the miracle and wonder of his becoming a physical being as well as his transcendent being, all in conformity with the will of “their Creator”.
These souls created in original innocence are the sole property of “their Creator” our Father in heaven, the most loving of fathers Who has adopted mankind and called us His children, the sons and daughters of God, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ and the children of Mary, our Mother, children of the Immaculate Conception.
Children of the Immaculate Conception, gestating, sleeping, disabled are in a personal, religious relationship with God, our Father, with Jesus Christ, our Beloved and His Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Relating to God requires no brainwaves, no passionate heart beats, no speech, no movement. Relating to God requires only to be, to be becoming, to be a rational soul with free will, intellect and sovereign personhood made in the image and likeness of God, “their Creator”.
No human being, no science, no interpretation can divine the will of the human being in relationsip with God, in the womb, birthed, disabled or dead to rise again. No legislator, politician or abortionist can force their will upon the Life, Liberty and the pursuit of the Truth as enabled by Divine Authority.
Baptism in the Catholic Church reinforces a person’s, a sovereign person’s creation in original innocence
