Expanding on St PATRICK' SUN...

  It is July 24, 2027!

It's been so hot outside that I submitted myself to a solar therapy!

The solar therapy felt so great I began praising the Lord!

I was praising the Lord so  much for creating the SUN I wanted to word it down...

Indeed, this is an expansion of St Patrick's Litany ...

'I bind  to myself today The brightness of the Sun '

Shall I carry on from here...

I bind to myself today the mysteries of thy being Oh Holy Sun...

I bind to myself today the power of thy heat oh Holy Sun....

I bind to myself today the depth of thy secrets oh Holy Sun

I bind to myself the consistency of thy cycle Oh Holy Sun!

I bind to myself the miracles of thy presence Oh Holy Sun!

I bind to myself the strength of thy confidence Oh Holy Sun!

I bind to myself the beauty of thy radiance Oh Holy Sun!

I bind to myself the shape of thy configuration Oh Holy Sun!

I bind to myself thy knowledge of the Universe Oh Holy Sun...

I bind to myself thy love in the fulfillment of thy duties Oh Holy SUN...

I bind to myself thy daily act of thanksgiving Oh Holy SUN!

I bind to myself thy burning fire that purifies, sanctifies and renews Oh Holy SUN!

 And so for thee... 

Praised be My Heavenly Father who created you glorious SUN!

I salute the Holy choirs of Angels known and yet to be known that guard thee! 

It was hot today!

It was a perfect summer day!

It was a magnificent day!

I wish you the same wherever you are...

Should the heat of summer cause drought, 

causing you not to be able to plant,

praise the Lord for it is sanctifying the land 

praise the Lord for thy land need rest

and teaching us something...

In its time, a new cycle of rain shall be delivered

like a bouquet of assorted golden roses.

It was so hot today...

my Caramel coat could not resist a solar therapy treatment...

No, I do not believe Holy SUN causes skin diseases...

I believe It strenghtens what is weak,

I believe It beautifies my birth tan,

I believe It unleashes God's glory in me,

I believe It warns me by exposing my inner deficiencies 

I believe It alerts me of my physical imbalances

Doctors get work  from thee, Oh Holy SUN!

Dermatologists get challenged by thee, O Holy SUN!

Oh it was so hot today...

Magnificently hot...

I wrote until the sun sets....

I wrote until the stars' shifts sweat...

Black Seed OIL; a new addition to my winters...

 When the cold begins to knock at our doors,

there are few things that I always make sure are in the kitchen to prepare for our Canadian Winters...

• Black Pepper (by itself or under its many forms such as Lemon Pepper)
• Ginger
• Garlic
• Cayenne Pepper or Paprika
• Mentholatum or its western equivalents... Vicks  or Vaporubs

Theses spices mixed with honey in a tea of  your likeness such as Rosemary tea, mint tea, Lilac tea, Pine tea , beetroots tea, citronella tea, Brazilian Euphorbia tea are either cough preventive or powerful chest cleansers should you catch the cold. These are great for the immune system. 

In my native land, BENIN REPUBLIC, Ginger syrup mixed withsome hot water are often used drank during the cold days of the Harmattan season...

Now this past winter, I discovered that in GREECE,  ginger and lemon during the Winter, are often a go to.... 

https://greekcitytimes.com/2024/02/21/ginger-with-lemon/

And these have been my winter allies over the years, and even more so during the Covid pandemic, since I could not receive the vaccine because of a certain health condition of mine & complied myself with the alternative of covering myself; Maybe some day I'll share fully all the things I did during that season to ensure my immune system remained strong including the Holy Angel who vaccined me in a dream.

Now that I am discovering the wonders of Black SEED OIL, I am considering to add it to our kitchen...

 

With such wonders provided by nature, Winter will always be a lovely season... This said... Do you have any plans this winter? I am personnally eyeing the Banff Trial Riders, Winsport and other amazing locations and Christmas markets that are a win during the Christmas Season in our city and our nation... What movies do you watch? Or what books do you read during the winter months? 

This said, I wish us all a magnificent Winter 2025 / 2026!!!

The Lougheed Gardens

The Lougheed Gardens

I visited the Lougheed Gardens...

actuallyyyy...

Not just I, but We...

My mother came with me...

It was a Mother & Daughter's date...

It was a sunny bright afternoon...

So....

I visited the Lougheed Gardens

The Bus driver had never heard of it

But He knew where to drop me off

Thank Calgary Transit!

I can always rely on you....

And so...

I visited the Lougheed Gardens

Preceded by the Grey Praying dove ensuring I miss not the place

WOW!!!!! was my first response when I soptted it across the streets

The Greek architeture that surrounds the Gardens opened by 

the Lilac Trees explains why it is a destination to magnify joy in the city

Verily and truly......

I visited the Lougheed Gardens

in this magnificent month of my birth I meditated there

Nesting myself in the Brawn Family Rose gardens

 Its gate mystically transported you to another dimension

where your being would find the peace it needed

Guess What? 

I visited the Lougheed Gardens

Aloe Vera

 Aloe Vera became part of my life over a decade ago when I actually bought the plant itself as an indoor plant not for decoration only, but as well for health purposes.

You see the moment I entered the age of puberty, and my feminity began to manifest itself monthly as my Heavenly had designed my womanhood to be; I was glowing month after month.

In the journey of glowing, I would be faced with a  genuine cross; Dysmenorrhea.

See I was never the type who gets moody during my cycle. I don't become upset or cranky like some women do. However, in my case I could eat things that were too sweet, I would have severe cramps. I had a severe case of Dysmenorrhea. Now I say 'I had' because I was miraculously healed by the Eucharist years later while at Holy Mass. However, the journey from the carrying of my cross to the healing and after the development of a new regiment was very interesting. Fortunately or unfortunately for me, it was often when my cycle was near that I was tempted to have sweets, outside of Brown Sugar in my porridges or Honey that was a routine I had since childhood. It might be subtle, but when you pay close attention to my youtube videos on MEGALUNEI TV, you'll notice in my recipes that I often use these two in recipes. And ... when baking goodies like my Jewish Bread, the closest to white sugar is ... a sugar I discovered recently made of SUGARCANE... And anything sugarcane is my best friend, because I grew eating lots of sugarcane, cracking it in between my teeths. I could cover Sugarcane in an other blog, if it is of interest to anyone. Just let me know in the comment section. 

With a severe case of Dismenorrhea,going to work at times with severe pain was awful.Worse, I was constantly at the pharmacy to buy some pain killers. When I realised that my body was literally saturated with these pain killers, and were not really responding anymore; you see with pain killers, or commonly known here as (Advil, Tylenol),  there is only a certain number that you can take per day. Well, I began to think about other options, meanwhile praying whatever my lips, my mind, my body willed to lift to God in prayer. I must admit that these were days of constant offerings, as I had learned from some of the saints to offer my sufferings for my own salvation & that of souls. Lo behold, such acts of offerings in my case were often incredible spiritual pain killers... interestingly enough! So my grandmother was often coming to mind, and I decided I would research what plants were good fo my situation... I could not ask my maternal Granny since plants in my native land for such were not necessarily in Canada, but having instilled in me the love for natural remedies. I started to investigate, and ALOE VERA  was the first of many to come into my life.  

Although ALOE VERA is great at alleviating the pain, not alleviating the pain, but restoring your hormonal cycle by combating the pains as some write, don't do what I did... I was taking it (the gel) raw  when chopping it bit by bit from the plant, and extracting the gel from within the skin. It is very bitter, but it works, and whenever I took that I didn't have to take any pharmaceutical product.

Now, the proper way others recommend to take handle Aloe Vera in Phytotherapy is to mix the gel extract with something like juice or a drink of some sort. There are many reasons; among them is the risk of being subject to some of the plants' side effects , because the measurement of each intake is not clearly defined.

You see, for me in those days, when I was comparing the pharmaceutical products  to the portions I was taking, I knew that whatever the side effect may be ... it could definitely not be worse than these chronic pains... Well, eventually, I got my own warning from the plant. The side effect I faced was ear ringing... Since I knew about it, the moment it started I modified my intake appr😉ach slowly but surely...

Years have past since my healing, but ALOE VERA has not passed, and Ive tried different methods. I have taken it as juices...

These days when I go to the grocery store or to the dollar store, I get it as a drink; Aloe WATER (something a sister in Christ introduces me too, when I shared how much I love Aloe Vera...)

 Now as much as ALOE VER does wonders within the body, it is also often usen for skincare and haircare... At times, we get ALOE VERA gifts when our family does grocery online, or as gifts from neighbors such as this fine... Irish Spring ALOE VERA SOAP...  

I am always surprised whenever such gifts arrive. In my Black Natural Hair community, many of the women have showed their tesimonials of ALOE VERA's wonders on their hair, and their daughters' hair.... from the making to the application... Here is an example of a little girl & her mother on using ALOE VERA...

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9up8xmuup_M

 I myself haven't embark on using it for my beautiful black natural hair yet... When it comes to pass, it will definitely be on MEGALUNEI TV, however, I have purchased Shampoo / Conditioner's brands (such as TRES EMME, my current shampoo) that have ALOE VERA in it...

  Now it is not just not just African Women or  Women of African Descent who use it, there are many other women in my Women Outreach Ministries group who have used Aloe Vera, but not as many who trends toward my youtube channel as my African Sisters...  

Thank you for your time... Pax Christi!

On reading... "...Africae Munus..."

 On reading... 

                          Africae Munus...

an encyclical written by the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI with the collaboration of Laymen, Laywomen, African Bishops, Clergy such as Reverend Father Raymond GOUDJO of BENIN in Rome and signed in my native land, BENIN Republic, during the visit of Pope Benedict during his visit...

Fr Raymond GOUDJO is the founder of Chants D'Oiseaux (Birds' Song), a Beninese institute that was created to promote Justice & Peace (IAJP - Institut des Artisans de Justice & de  Paix)...First in its kind in BENIN Republic by a clergy, this state of the art institute is made of hotels, conference & dining rooms, restaurant, St Christophe Cyber, and a Chapel...

Well, on reading this Encyclical, many a times, I found myself reflecting on certain passages such as, and I quote:

par 55. "...Women in Africa make a great contribution to the family, to society and to the Church by their many talents and unique gifts..." 

par 58. "...You, Catholic women, carry on the Gospel tradition of those women who assisted Jesus and the apostles (cf. Lk 8:3)...."

par 59. "...Dear daughters of the Church, sit constantly at the school of Christ, like Mary of Bethany, and learn to recognize his word (cf. Lk 10:39). Grow in knowledge of the catechism and the Church’s social teaching, so as to acquire for yourselves the principles that will assist you in acting as true disciples... The Church will always support you... The Church counts on you to create a “human ecology”[97] through your sympathetic love, your friendly and thoughtful demeanour, and finally through mercy, values that you know how to instil in your children, values that the world so badly needs. In this way, by the wealth of your specifically feminine gifts..."

par 60."...Young people make up the majority of Africa’s population... Is not Christ the secret of true freedom and profound joy of heart? Is not Christ the supreme friend and the teacher of all genuine friendship? If Christ is presented to young people as he really is, they experience him as an answer that is convincing and they can accept his message, even when it is demanding and bears the mark of the Cross..."

par 64."...The future is in the hands of those who find powerful reasons to live and to hope. If you want it, the future is in your hands, because the gifts that the Lord has bestowed upon each one of you, strengthened by your encounter with Christ, can bring genuine hope to the world..." 

par 65."...If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great. No! Only in this friendship are the doors of life opened wide. Only in this friendship is the great potential of human existence truly revealed ... Dear young people: Do not be afraid of Christ! He takes nothing away, and he gives you everything. When we give ourselves to him, we receive a hundredfold in return. Yes, open, open wide the doors to Christ – and you will find true life..."

par 67. "...This being the case, how can we fail to deplore and forcefully denounce the intolerable treatment to which so many children in Africa are subjected?[107] The Church is Mother and could never abandon a single one of them. It is our task to let Christ’s light shine in their lives by offering them his love, so that they can hear him say to them: “You are precious in my eyes, and honoured, and I love you” (Is 43:4). God wants every child to be happy and to smile, and his favour rests upon them, “for to such belongs the kingdom of God” (Mk 10:14)..."

par 68."...Christ Jesus always manifested his preferential love for the little ones (cf. Mk 10:13-16)... What, indeed, is meant by these words: “unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Mt 18:3)? Does not Jesus make the child a model, even for adults? ... Heaven is promised to all who are simple, like children, to all who, like them, are filled with a spirit of trusting abandonment, pure and rich in goodness... "

par 69."... In the African worldview, life is perceived as something that embraces and includes ancestors, the living and those yet to be born, the whole of creation and all beings: those that speak and those that are mute, those that think and those lacking thought. The visible and invisible universe is regarded as a living-space for human beings, but also as a space of communion where past generations invisibly flank present generations, themselves the mothers of future generations. This great openness of heart and spirit in the African tradition predisposes you, dear brothers and sisters, to hear and to receive Christ’s message..."

Blessed is HE who shall have the eyes

Blessed is HE who shall have the ears

Blessed is HE who shall have that touch

Blessed is HE who shall identify that scent

Blessed is HE who shall take those godly steps

Blessed is HE who shall be fed breakfast, lunch, supper, snacks in my yard

Blessed is HE who shall unendingly drink of my myrrh

In virtue, we shall cross...

Between You & The Poem ~ by The Crown Prince of Dubai

 

O poem, no matter how long time gets, I would not abandon you even if the weak of poems mix with the strong(eloquent poems). my relationship with you O poem has always been a strong one. if it was not because of you(poem importance), we would not have guarded the archive of Arabic poems(Diwan Al Arab) from being lost and protected it from being trifled with. Yet, the poetry and its people (poets) have a moment of realization that distinguishes the creative poet from his imitators. O you creative poet, whatever your mouth utters, its impression affects (poem) its listeners(audience). write with (using) your mind what your heart keeps and do not bring except the strong(eloquent) of verses. who plants jasmine will not harvest Arak (a type of plant), of course he will only harvest jasmine. Since the flow of poem is zealous, I have a word for the clever minds. (who takes)the path of success that starts with thorns, wins(succeeds) by his strong assured certitude. He wouldn't turn his head to every argument made by a skeptical person and I warn him against the laughs of his encouraging people. If you have many loving friends from here and there, you cannot compare them with the ones who resent you(enviers). and that who traces people(for faults) he shall be traced (and disgraced), and that who degrades himself, everyone else shall degrade him. and the good loyal person, even if he is from your enemies, do not do injustice to him, because the oppression of a good man is shameful. and you who thinks generosity is considered by how far your right hand extends(how much you give), consider how many misers have your similar right hand(similar giving). You give and he gives(out of generosity) to this and to that, and despite that, God knows the hidden intentions A good speech(words) from a man, when he comes to you, is enough and suffices for his hand givings. and the kind person when you go to him or he comes to you, charms you with his (good)morals, friendliness and tenderness. from his great kindness to the well-spoken people like you, you feel as if he is being kind to his parents. and you who is precious to me, and you think that we forgot you, I wish you live in conten and you who is precious to me, and you think that we forgot you, I wish you live in content and a peace state of mind. I hunt with my bird as if I hunt with your cheerful rememberance although I feel sad. and I go back to the noise of the city and meeting with you is the first thing I think about. If it was not for you, fondness wouldn't have increased in me, and I swear I would sell the yearning with those who sell it. Poem came to my mind and the poem remembered you, I feel there is something between you both. Written by ~The Crown Prince of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum~

Thank you for visiting my blog dear bloggers! It had been a while since my last post, so I was inspiring to share this poem by his highness the Crown Prince of Dubai. For more about my own publications, visit

Fascinating world of cereals!!!

So as much as I enjoy me some cereals, I must admit that at times I am fascinated, and have been lated by their compositions. This has caused me to enjoy mixing them whether I calculate it right or not... 

It is incredible to see that some can give you 30% of Iron and another 20% of Iron; thus for me when I mix them it is my way to add them all ; 30% +20% +30%... Wow! it gives a whooping 80% of Iron in my sweek cup of Almond Milk! Such an alternative from Iron pills.  Whenever I can stay away from anything that is pills, it is victory for me... What can I say? I come from a lineage that has been really engrained in natural remedies. All this although I got a Father who is a pharmacist by trade, cousins who are pharmacists and although I almost enrolled in Pharmacy myself back in the days if it wasn't that my GPA was few points; my late maternal grandmother had an incredible knowledge of the plants. 

Her presence in our home over the years when she was alive led to a dive in the world of naturopathy and phytotherapy. You would think that plants spoke to her their virtues. She carried with her generations of knowledge. Today, there is google to help you find what this or that can do, or again there is youtube! In her days while raising me in our home, there was none of that as she prepped concoctions before my eyes as a child while mom and dad were at work. Oh well, this said we shall come to her in another blog if it an interest to you. This said, after being a consumer of cereals for many, I finally decided to research into some of the healthy nutrients my being gets from it.

So whether it be Cheerios, or mini-wheats or Corn Flakes, certain nutrituents are redundant along with their percentage alone and when you mix it in a cup of milk.

 1) Calories: are the measurement unit used to assess how much energy your body get from something you eat or how much energy it burns... E.g. Cheerios give us 100 calories by itself but when consumed with a cup of milk, the quantity increases; for a 125ml cup of milk, it becomes 170 calories.

2) Lipides: According to Wikipedia, these in the fields of Biology or Microbiology are referred too as micro biomolecules that have for function to store energy, to be and inform as structural components the biological membranes of the cells of anything that may affect them or the environment that the cells are protected from. Beside the food industry, lipids are also used in the cosmetic industry and in nanotechnology. Lipids, when analyzed from a biological perspective, may be divided into eight (8) categories:

•  Fatty acids
• Glycerolipids 
• Glycerophospholipids
• Sphingolipids
• Sterols e.g. Cholesterol
• Prenols
• Saccharolipids
• Polyketides

3) Cholesterol is a type of lipid from the category of the sterols that your body generates and that must be monitored through a healthy regiment ranging from  your diet to your training program. Not soluble in water like most lipids, its chemical formula is said to be C27H46O with a molecular mass of 386. 65g/mol as per Google. As well, it is Isopropyl myristate, Ethanol, Acetone, Methanol, Chloroform, Benzene, Hexane. According to many researchers, too much cholesterol or too little cholesterol doesn't just affect the heart, but might affect your skin, your hands, your feet, and even your brain...

There is a time to blind mothers

Now is the time to remove feathers

~ An Ambrosian Master Degree with... The Finest Platform ... ~

 Today, I give thanks to SHE who led me to be theologically pruned under the umbrella of St AMBROSE... I started AMBROSE University with HER, and I wish to end my testimony with HER, the mother of all mothers, the mother of my Savior, MY Spiritual Mother; the Blessed Virgin Mary...

This is my testimony... And during this Easter Season 2021, it is well bear witness for what the Lord my God; He who is Alpha & Omega, He before whom I bow (ADONAI), He El Shaddai  who always knew better than me the plans He had for me (Jeremiah 29:11), He whom the choirs of angels worship day and night and before whom the saints  bow, the great I AM... We've finished another race, and one more time, no one else but you get the ultimate glory.

Many know of you know of my testimony shared again and again about the beginnings of my entry to AMBROSE University, thus I shall focus more on the last days, weeks, months and years of my educational journey. Let note that what was a program of a few years turned out to be 11-12 years for me including the years  I took off here and there for x- y- z reasons...

It seems the more I reached the end of the ride, the more it seemed that the many graces acquired intellectually, emotionally and spiritually were going to be stolen from me via unexpected circumstances. Often times, the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, would pour with my soul different strategies to resolve it, to get through what seemed to be illusory storms. Through it all, my God, the almighty, kept me focus on one thing; so I was always reminding myself that I am under the guidance of St AMBROSE, himself, the patron saint of our campus. I could constantly tell myself that He knew why the whole heavenly court had sent me and willed for me to do a Master of Arts in Leadership  since being certain Church careers available to my classmates, I knew were not an option for this Catholic Lady  that I am. I was often simply joking around that Catholics like me  our Lord Jesus Christ did not know what to do with... He was sending them to this regional seminary. Or other times,  I would tell myself that having wished for so long that the angels would deepen my knowledge on spiritual matters as they did with the Blessed Virgin Mary based on written accounts after her apparition to several mystics, that indeed my prayr was answered and it would serve its purpose in times.. Thus obeying to that inner call was a commitment renewed daily, weekly, monthly in trials till the day I finished my Master degree, and till the day I received the message from my program advisor that I am off the hook and qualify for graduation... PRAISE THE LORDDDDDDD!!!!!

Every course I took served its purpose whether an elective or whether a mandatory course. I would dream of how I could potentially use in a short or long term. See whether I wanted it or not, whether I was aware of it or not, whether the professor asked for it or not, the Holy Spirit always had a practical way for the knowledge gained to dwell within me... Let me give a very simple example. Among the non mandatory courses of my program, I took was Hebrew Biblical Language (Level 1 & 2 out of 3 levels). 

Now, when I went on pilgrimage in the Czech Republic after that, I met a renowned Czech writer and scholar at the Jesuit Retreat Center where I stayed in Prague who happens to teach Hebrew  at the local university there, and in one of the  libraries of the Retreat Center on a weekly basis. Having been invited to one of his classes at the Center the next day, I attended Father Josef Blaha's Hebrew classes. I was stunned by the learning strategy he shared / I gained that day, and I thought if I wasn't hooked to learning Hebrew, now I am sealed.. With a grateful heart to him and to the Lord for such gifts and many others, I came back to Calgary and to this day, I have not ceased seeking time to grow my knowledge in Biblical Hebrew, and even Classical Hebrew; and one of the ways I have tracking my growth is via my youtube channel where I host poetry

Indeed the Lord has given me mmm.... a fine platform; this was totally a Holy Spirit moment. There are always many ideas roaming through my mind, but the Lord has a way of getting my focus on what He wills, and from there whatever piece of the puzzle was missing, I am given... and Youtube is one of the many branches of the platform He's laid out before me. AMBROSE Seminary  has been the place where ADONAI has been refining the image of Him that He has made me to be  as He says in the book of GENESIS, and in the process there were profound moments of theological conversations in my family, because I soon understood that I may choose my Spiritual Family, but my biological family I did not choose... And there seemed to be many unknown that more and more made my family (paternal and maternal) one of the finest platform He GOD almighty gave me and a large branche of that outreach tree. EPIC!!! Because I always knew graduating that I did not a congregation  (or so I thought...) But then it seemed I have much more than I think, and there is more work than I can think of or imagine even if I was never pushy toward the members of my family... Their lives, their actions, their choices are enough to challenge me every day theologically, and I hope this journey from near or afar blesses them too. See, it is when I became aware of it, that suddenly the Holy Spirit made me aware of how I had been in communion not only with all of them but with one of my Uncle who hungers for spiritual knowledge and whose name is rooted in... theos... 

Another example; throughout my studies, the Lord began to lead me more and more toward entrepreneurship, and honestly I was unsure where I had the courage to take on that vocation... But He made the way, reminding me of childhood dreams I had, and I took that walk of faith. Walking that journey in a way that everyday unfolds faith and knowledge gained has led to me discovering one day from a family member, one of my Grandfathers, who was shopping in my boutique that one of my aunt to who I had not spoken to in a while had recently wedded a Jew; and the gift  was for the newborn child... I was speechless at the works of the Holy Spirit.. At the time I was taking Hebrew, I did not know a Hebrew Speaking Gentleman was courting, and wedding into our family...

See the day I read the message that I am officially done, it is the day the research component  of a personal project I had been working, a personal project I cherished throughout my studies among the many in my heart *the Canonization of my grand aunt  Sister Delphine TOSSA - GBEGO* led to me finding out from one of my Grand Uncle & my dad explicit details about our royal lineage and my title... Surprised, "Christ is just beginning with me! Co - heiress role of my Savior is taking fleshhhhh!!! I will testifyyy" I shouted and thought while everyone else at home was laughing. One chapter closes, another opens

Sr Delphine PUZZLE

So here I am giving thanks to the Lord for every person who has blessed at AMBROSE University, and... indeed, I am walking away with a Master degree of Arts in Leadership and Ministry under the umbrella of St Ambrose and the ... finest platform to serve, influence, lead, be led by... Keep me in your prayers, and whenever I remember you like St Paul often wrote, I will give thanks to the Lord for you... 

May the Risen Lord Jesus Christ be ever more glorified as the Easter Season unfolds day after day! Halelluja! Halleluja!

ASH WEDNESDAY 2021, already?????

 The Scriptures remind us that when one is fasting to look their best, so that only God "you Father In Heaven" knows what you are offering... 

Could it be that 2021 has arrived?

Could it be that I was away from you during the Christmas season?

Could it be that I blogged little during the Epiphany season? 

Well, as this Lent leads us to a season of Prayer, Almsgiving and Fasting, I wish us a

  Fruitfullllllll LENT... 

May the next 40 days with our Lord JESUS - Christ in our spiritual desert be victorious ever step of the way as we battle our weaknesses to be fortified for what lays ahead...

And thus we remember that we are DUST and to DUST, we shall return. This is one of my favorites hearings on ASH Wednesday...

Have a FRUITFULLLLL LENT...

What if... No Ordinary times & Nine (9) ADVENT Sundays?

 What if your liturgical calendar had 9 Advent Sundays and No Ordinary Sundays? Well,my faithful readers, it is your African - Mozarabe Girl! You see since prayerfully answering the call to deepen my faith journey by leaving the comfort of the Latin Roman Catholic to joining the Latin Mozarabic Catholic Rite (a rite that seems to be in extinction, but larger than life itself however), I have been jouneying from the Roman Rite liturgical calendar to the Hispano - Mozarabe liturgical calendar, meanwhile exploring the very roots of the Mozarabic tradition in Africa and in Asia; The Saints' calendar on my blog gives you a hint of that.

 It has also been the opportunity to release my thoughts over calendars.

I've been collecting for the past few years no longer with the mindset of just following the liturgical calendar, but allowing myself to think out visually.  WHo knows where it would lead me? Trusting in the Holy Spirit WAS a Free of Charge opportunity...

See I've always wondered why we call the Ordinary Seasons of the Church "Ordinary times" when the truth is it is not really ordinary. After the Christmas Season, we  would fall right back into Ordinary times, and I wondered what it would be like to have an Epiphany Season?

I had notice that some Catholic rites had instead Trinity Seasons, such as the Latin Ordinariate Catholic Rite (Anglican Communion). So I kept looking and searching into different liturgical calendars. At times, it was really overwhelming. Other times, it was sad because it literally caused me to envy certain rites. But there are moments that really made me perplexed because it either confirmed something I had in mind, or shed light on something I was not aware of. Such was the case when in my researches, I read that certain episcopalian traditions embraced an old tradition of the church while developing their own liturgical calendar. It does not have the Catholic Saints obviously, but the days after Easter are known as Pentecostide... (and not ordinary times). Research shows that the Pentecostide Season used to be known as well as Kingdomtide... 

Thus with a smile on my face because I was begin to find these answers very interesting, I carried on creating a skeleton, but I would always get stucked it got close to the Advent Season in the Hispano-Mozarabic Rite vs the Advent Season in the Latin Roman Catholic Rite. It even got worse when I noticed that in the Latin Extraordinary rite, there is no ordinary times after Easter, it continues with a Pentecost Season, but they also had a different feast of Christ the King (feast that seals the liturgical year and launches the Advent Season).  So I'd keep asking myself...

Lord, how were all these dates to honour your royal title chosen?  So obviously, I would celebrate it all, but on my lil' homemade calendar, I could not figure out which one to pick.  

And so I persevered again repeating the same process this year wondering how I would make further progress from last year, on a very blank secular (military to be exact) Canadian Calendar. It had no saints, just monetary prizes (and few worldwide religious celebrations), so there was no way I could be influenced by other rites. However, as I kept updating it, I felt this uneasiness again when came the time to add the feast of Christ the King. This time I had both dates (the date when the Latin Roman Extraordinary rite celebrate theirs (Oct 25, 2020) & the date known to all in the Latin Roman Ordinary Rite (Nov 22, 2020). Meanwhile I remembered the adoration I had offered for His Majesty, King Mohammed VI of Morocco, his family & his people had reached my goal the day before (October 18, 2020).

It is true I pray the funniest prayers, and I do not apologize for that, because it seems the heavenly court enjoys it, because I often get answers to those prayers. See at the time I dedicated this adoration by Father Cesar Augusto Calderon Caicedo the exorcist who allows me to collaborate with him via Megalunei TV, there were not many subscribers. So I told the Lord I will let wait for as long as it takes for the number of views to be equivalent to the number of subscribers... and that in the process I would be attentive to what He, my Lord and God, might tell me through this man (this simple act of offering to Him for the King of Morocco's Coronation anniversary). So suddenly I was taken aback, and became very attentive to the Calendar. Was the Lord wanting me to celebrate / put the the Feast of Christ the King on that Sunday? or on the same day of those of the Extraordinary rite (Sunday after the 25)... Or before... So although I wrote the name of the feast down as you may see I began to hesitate...  I say *me* because it is just me having fun designing a liturgical calendar. I do not know who will join me in this or even how liturgical calendars get approved :-)... So to sort it out, I chose to believe that the Lord's answer was for the day Adoration was completed, although nothing had been posted and perpetual adoration continued... From there I was finally joyfull to start counting an Advent Season; This would give exactly nineteen (19) Pentecostide Sundays on my calendar. What a surprise suddenly! From the 20th Pentecostide Sunday being the Feast of Christ the King on my calendar Christmas (December 25th, 2020), I am getting exactly 9 Advent Sundays... Now tell me about an ADVENT NOVENA, and I am ready to salute the Holy Spirit... So this said, should you join me during this New Advent season of my life (with this skeleton of my ongoing design of a Liturgical Calendar till I post a full one...)
