@reginamrc6 @johnnyjoe1083 I’ve read excerpts. I just borrowed the ebook from Libby, an Illinois public library service. The description says “ Houselander’s unique perspective encourages readers to reflect on the transformative power of faith and the intimate relationship between divinity and humanity.”

I need one final push to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene.

She doesn't want people in Georgia to know that she's about to lose.

@catholicpat It’s literal. A miracle is promised every time.

@NRSC Ted, this is a bait and switch ad. Get lots of data and then don’t allow info to be entered without a donation, even a $0 donation. This will neccesarily skew the results if only donors are counted in the final tally. Why waste your reader’s time?

@senatorshoshana It’s worth it to take the effortful path. In my 60s now, and I’m grateful in retirement from engineering career that I married and had two boys in my 20s, with some regret for only 2 kids and for arthritic stress from walking marathons in my forties.

Some US universities in the 80s had small research nuclear reactors. Did Utah? And could radiation from such a system have an impact on the electrolysis chemistry results, interpreted as possibly caused by cold fusion, rather than by other radiation effects?

[Popular Science @PopSci]

For the past 30 years, cold fusion has largely been a forgotten specter of one of science’s most notorious controversies. That may now be changing. https://t.co/BsTx6N2j1K

@PopSci Were the 1989 Fleischmann and Pons results impacted by passing trucks of nuclear waste, going to a cavern where such wastes were deposited. Granite and rock formations show unacceptable levels of radiation-and this was in Utah where 1940s atomic bomb testing was done.

A paralyzed man can now walk again thanks to @_NeuroRestore, a Swiss research center dedicated to implantable neurotechnology. Engineers developed a device that wirelessly connects a patient’s brain to their spinal cord, using a “digital bridge” that mimics the functions of Bluetooth connection.

The Catholic doctrine of Redemption is inseparable from that of Sacrifice, for it was by his sacrifice on Calvary that Christ achieved our Redemption. “Christ, being come an high-priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation: neither by the blood of goats or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and of oxen . . . sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleaning of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God? And therefore he is the Mediator of the New Testament: that by means of his death for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance” (Heb. ix 11).

Such being the intimate connection between Redemption and Sacrifice in the economy of our salvation, it is not to be wondered at if the doctrine of the Mystical Body finds its clearest illustration and most practical application in the Catholic teaching concerning the sacrifice of the Mass.

The central fact of human history is the Redemption, wrought, in accordance with the divine plan, by the life-work of Christ, and culminating in the supreme act of self-oblation made by his human will in manifestation of his love of his Father. The sacrifice which Christ offered to his Father on the Cross is the one perfect act of worship ever offered by man to God. But Christians have never regarded that sacrifice simply as an event of the past. They have been ever mindful of the command he gave his followers to do as he did in commemoration of him, “showing the death of the Lord until he come” (1 Cor. xi 26), “knowing that Christ, rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall have no more dominion over him” (Rom. vi 9). Christ as he is today is Christ triumphant with the fruits of his victory, with the faithful in whom his Spirit dwells and works. The same sacrifice which Christ offered on Calvary is unendingly renewed in the sacrifice of the Mass. The sacrifice is Christ’s; the victim is Christ; the priest is Christ. The only difference lies in the absence of actual blood-shedding on the Calvary of the Altar. The Mass is the sacrifice of the Mystical Body of Christ.

That the whole Church has a sacerdotal character is clear from several passages of the New Testament. Baptism, which made us sons of God, members of the Mystical Body, gave us an indelible character: “But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation” (1 Peter ii 9). “Jesus Christ . . . who hath loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us a kingdom and priests to God and his Father” (Apoc. i 5). “Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ” (1 Peter ii 5). Together with our Head, through the ministry of the priests who have the power of consecrating, we co-operate effectively in the offering of the sacrifice in the measure of our supernatural importance in the Mystical Body.

It would be a pitiable mistake to think of the Body and Blood of Christ in the Mass as a dead offering. It is a living offering and is offered by the living Christ. Christ is the priest of the Mass. It is Christ who celebrates the Mass, and he celebrates it with a warm and living Heart, the same Heart with which he worshipped his Father on Mount Calvary. He prays for us, asks pardon for us, gives thanks for us, adores for us. As he is perfect man, he expresses every human feeling; as he is God, his utterances have a complete perfection, an infinite acceptableness. Thus when we offer Mass we worship the Father with Christ’s worship. Our prayers being united with his obtain not only a higher acceptance, but a higher significance. Our obscure aspirations he interprets; what we do not know how to ask for, or even to think of, he remembers; for what we ask in broken accents, he pleads in perfect words; what we ask in error and ignorance he deciphers in wisdom and love. Thus our prayers, as they are caught up by his Heart, become transfigured, indeed, divine.

Hence by God’s mercy we do not stand alone. In God’s providence the weakness of the creature is never overwhelmed, unaided, by the omnipotence of God. In particular the Catholic is never isolated in his prayers, in his pleadings with God. He is a member of the divinely instituted Church, his prayers are reinforced by the prayers of the whole Church, he shares, in life an din death, in that amazing combination of grace-aided effort and accumulated energy known as the Communion of Saints. But especially is the Catholic strong when he pleads before God the perfect sacrifice of Christ. Simply as a member of the Church, as a member of Christ’s Mystical Body, every Catholic has a share in the sacrifice offered by Christ as Head of his Church, a share in the supreme act of adoration thereby offered to God. And that partaking in the offering of the Sacrifice is as real and as far-reaching as the Mystical Body itself. (Excerpted from The Teaching of the Catholic Church, Canon George D. Smith, 1948)
