Last post I wrote to you my many readers around this world about how surprisingly the truckers bathrooms are cleaner than ST Anselm's after the weekend Masses. For I had witnessed even adults throwing wet towel paper on the floor in "I Don't Care About Anyone Attitude."
For those of you who maybe missed those posts, we after returning back to Louisiana from our Katrina while tenting in Fairview-Riverside State Park and Fountainbleau State Park from Good Friday 2012 through July 20, 2012 were attending Daily Mass at Saint Anselm every single day Monday through Sunday...to Monday....
During this time period William or myself he to enter men's room or me the women's we would find both bathroom facilities after Sunday Masses both that night or in the morning early extraordinarily filthy with wet paper towel every where even dotting the walls on a few occasions.
I am happy to say that since we have been spending our time more spread out in several areas around Louisiana and have returned to visit St Anselm twice recently.
A couple of weeks ago on a Monday morning and again today...Monday December 10, 2012. Both days we were both stunned that neither facilities were near as sloppy since I embarrassed them so writing about them to all around the world who not all can join the blogs with us as official FOLLOWERS due to the type of devices they use to access the Internet...
But rather communicate with me by other means....some simply have clicked "LIKE" on FACEBOOK when I have posted my blog to my Facebook as it updates.
I am happy to say the women's bathroom garbage bin was full but only one long piece of toilet paper lining the handicapped stall and William said that in the men's room there they too had made more of an effort to be neater that the waste paper was in a rounded mound in the waste bin and not much of anything on the floor.
Praise God that some do change some of their ways when they are put in the spot light of public correction.
It is biblical however... "If your brother wrongs you.....correct him.... " How else can anyone not knowing precisely every person responsible for disrespecting everyone else if one only enters to find not the arrogant transgressor but only the damage they so carelessly leave behind in tracks?
William commented to me however when we visited Saint Anselm the time before today's visit: "Notice that when we come to Mass here we get to sit in our regular pew. But at St Joseph of Ponchatoula & Holy Ghost of Hammond we cannot sit anywhere without being attacked!"
In Holy Ghost & of Hammond, my husband after being clawed by one woman who all of a sudden decides to break herself away from a very loud & colorful conversation that is fitting only for bar rooms and would make any barmaid jealous...and immediately kneels behind my husband to "PRAY??" as soon as we sit down in front of her she clawed my husband's back drawing blood.
And when we flew up to move she actually tried pressing him back into the chair saying just what an inappropriate Moose Lake MN Priest Fr Eamon Boland said when I corrected him when he draped his hand across my front at the Holy Angels Grand Breakfast this past summer: "Oh no, its okay!" as he patted me again...as she patted my husband again!
All were publicly corrected. And both this woman a blonde, and another woman a brunette who did same to my husband in St Joseph not long ago...as my precious moved toward the back of the church I told her in front of all just before Mass began: "NO IT's NEVER OKAY to drape oneself over another's husband. And as I pointed to Our Lord on the Holy Cross added: "Do you really think going to Holy Communion NOW HE will answer your prayers?"
She looked at me in SHEER Terror! And the next day at Mass I began to see a few women wear veils who I never saw with veils...but it is ridiculous that they have veils but still wearing jeans so tight I cannot figure out how they do not bleed literally to DEATH right there!
Truckers for your information have much better manners, cleaner mouths, and more modest clothing than many Catholics in just about any church we have visited across the United States.
They have no agendas for they are focused on their jobs; it is hard work to drive so many hours making deliveries earning their pay...to get involved in folly And now they have more to lift and lug with Christmas packages being shipped online from one side of the country to another with just touch of buttons on a key card & credit card numbers....
Similar to me typing now.
But look who sadly does have agendas! There's their license plate!
How anyone on their way into Catholic Holy Mass to receive Our Lord's Holy Body & Blood can attack another....is amazingly shocking!
Another thing is since the Ponchatoula Police Chief is a Catholic & frequents our church....it amazes me the boldness of those Fakey Flakey Ctholics who are so bold that they let the air out of the new front tire, both on William's driver side that by parking this way distracted anyone from the fact this was the purpose. Both of these were just put on by our St Joseph St Vincents Society. They took much longer than normal getting meeting together to vote on doing this for us. so anyway... William says that anyone who gets their amusement or entertainment acting this way....leads a very dull sad life!
I agree! All the energy spent into such acts if were put into acts of kindness and friendliness without strangely approaching like the old white haired Eucharistic Minister Rosary leader in her tight sprayed on clothing...named "Ernst" barrelling us over in the Bohnigs super market with her buggy.... all these folks would be happier and not be lonely for then they would be lovable by anyone!
This one shows that this hostile wicked driver swung deep into our space to left leaving on the right side several feet! And for those who would not know, Holy Mass began in the day light not the darkness. So this person when actually aggressing onto us did not care who witnessed them. And so it leads us to wonder all the typical late ones who squeak into the church always as Father starts walking up the aisle...who actually witnessed this aggression.
William not being the big Bumpa Bumpa that one huge red head who has tried literally driving over me in the parking lot several times as I was taking my time getting only what I wanted to carry into Mass with me
However, Catholics who are Catholic in name only get their kicks out of attempting ti pin us into our parking place in Saint Joseph's lot:
My husband said: If this is what they do for their entertainment or joy....they must lead a very dull life!
Yesterday in our Adult Religion Class at S Joseph of Ponchatoula it was amazing but not surprising that the assigned reading from the Catholic Catechism for that mornings class was applicable to correct a major complaint of both mine and my husband's...
Catholic Catechism: LIFE IN CHRIST First sentence: 1691- "Christian remember your dignity, and now that you share in God's own nature, do not return to your former base condition by sinning"
Church leaders, lectors, readers, and Religious Education teachers wearing sexually suggestive tight or swanky clothing....that causes any man trying to keep his conscience clean before God...struggle just to raise his head forward toward the reader or teacher.
We had also stated we no longer wanted to be on such persons email rolls...whose clothing offends the conscience of anyone. Our RCIA Director Mr. Hanks we felt did a wonderful job in a difficult situation overseeing Mrs. Stephanie Waguespack's class yesterday to make certain she addressed email complaints.
I am happy to say that we have managed to unsubscribe to these and after have received confirmation that we our emails have been removed from such lists.
One young man & his wife sitting with us commented he looking at his newborn daughter cannot perceive "Original Sin." We in our group mentioned how babies and children will "copy-cat anything they see adults doing. And being adults do not always make pure choices showed the ease of getting in trouble.
And the teacher used the word "propensity" to sin.
And also we discussed how God is everywhere and sees everything in secret. So we will can never hide anything whether our inappropriate behavior we do against others when certain other people or not seeing it.
That whatever is done or said in darkness will be shown in the light....even if some think they are getting away with whatever they no better than to do.
We also discussed that this very first sentence quoted from the first line of Part Three: Life in Christ: Christian recognize your dignity.... (just above)
It was mentioned that 5 women I being one of them, wear veils in Holy Mass. The teacher of this class Stephanie W., wears her grandmothers veil during lent. Another brought out that wearing the veil is an act of reverence.
Though I began wearing one because in Catholic Kindergarten....you just did what those nuns said to whether you understood or not. As I grew up I noticed that when I place mine on my head, I much more quickly fall into a sweet quiet that absolutely dispels anything that has attacked my thoughts in any way that is not of God.
That part of recognizing ones dignity...is recognizing that wearing provocative clothing of any kind..sprayed on or swanky sweaters...whether showing actual skin or suggesting it....actually desecrates oneself.
Just as Joyce Meyer teaches about our words, if a person really wants to change their habits they can by purposely consciously changing their word choice. When one deletes completely from their vocabulary harsh words for example..harsh words according to Proverbs: "Dry up the bones!" While kind words heal and build.
So by choosing to give away ones tight fitting wardrobe to someone much smaller in stature...a shapely woman may give hers to a teenager....some 12 year olds these days may fill just fine some of the swanky clothes worn by some adult females across the United States.
And Rejoice!!! Stop desecrating yourselves! By turning over to a new you...you get to receive a new and more rewarding wardrobe, one that will bring joy & honor to you, your own husband family and your neighbors. And by doing so...you may find you are received into the hearts of many you long felt distant from.
Oh and for an extra foot note: Public Officials or employees paid with Tax Dollars or public money too should be held to a higher accountability of dress also.
We here so much about sexual mis-conduct in schools by both teachers and students, but they do not tell us and what we do not see is the fact that they may have brought it onto themselves by their vulgar dress.
Lets hope this embarrassment is enough that we have some truly repented folks tomorrow night at penance service and not only our church family will have less tension within....but Ponchatoula only having a tad over 6600 in population total...a genuine change of heart and character of the Catholics could make life drastically more comfortable for all of Ponchatoula...and the "Wild-Fire of revival can spread over to the tougher rougher nearby places such as Hammond. And gentler hearted community will make for a safer & happier community as well.
Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!
