Video of Hymn St. Patrick's Breastplate, sung by Angelina (EWTN)

This hymn is taken from two CDs Songs of the Faithful and Wake Up Call. Angelina travelled to the Hill of Slane in County Meath (Ireland) to film this beautiful song. She also went over to the very famous Grafton Street in Dublin. This video was shot in one day and the director was Manuel DeTeffe of Rome. Arrangement was by Shaun Davey, mechanical and synch license were obtained through HFA. Saint Patrick's Breastplate is an old Irish Christian hymn. It is generally assumed that Saint Patrick wrote the Old Irish lyrics during his Irish ministry in the 5th century. However there is a school of thought that it may have written in the 8th century.It is part of the Liber Hymnorum (Book of Hymns)- a collection of hymns found in two manuscripts kept in Dublin.
Cecil Frances Humphreys Alexander translated the hymn from old Irish into English.

Video:Go Light Your World (Carry Your Candle) - Kathy Troccoli

There is a candle in every soul.

Some brightly burning some dark and cold

There is a spirit, who brings a fire

Ignites a candle, and makes his own.


Chorus

Carry your candle, run to the darkness

Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn,

Hold out your candle for all to see it

Take your candle, go light your world.

Take your candle; go light your world



Frustrated brother, see how he’s tried to

Light his own candle, some other way

See now your sister, she’s been robbed and lied to

Still holds a candle without a flame.


Chorus


Carry your candle, run through the darkness,

Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn

Hold out your candle, for all to see it

Take your candle and go light your world,

Take your candle go light your world.



We are a family, who hearts are blazing

So let’s raise our candles light up the sky

Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus,

Make us a beacon in darkest time


Chorus


Carry your candle, run to the darkness

Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor

Hold out your candle for all to see it

Take your candle and go light your world

Carry your candle, run to the darkness,

Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn

Hold out your candle for all to see it

Take your candle go light your world

Take your candle go light your world

Notre Dame must choose between God and Obama the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history

You cannot be Roman Catholic and be pro choice. Those Catholics who facilitate the provision of abortion in any way excommunicate themselves. Pro choice is a euphemism for the support of the slaughter of the innocent. It is sanitized language. Let’s call abortion what it really is. It is the murder of the innocent unborn child in the womb. It is a heinous crime.

Obama is a pro abortion extremist. This is the man who voted against the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act when it was in the Illinois state legislature and who overturned the Mexico City policy three days after he took office. In addition he has decided to fund abortions in foreign countries with American tax dollars. Finally he has stated that he wouldn't want any daughter of his who made a mistake to be "punished" with a child.

The abortion clinics are the new death chambers. We now have the modern holocaust. The abortion practitioners are the new NAZIS. Obama is the most pro abortion president in US history. He supports the culture of death.
Obama thumbs his nose at the Law of God and Notre Dame disgraces itself by honoring a man who is a pro abortion extremist. Obama professes himself as being opposed to torture yet is an ardent supporter of the torture of the innocent unborn child in the womb. What a hypocrite. Shame on Notre Dame for inviting him. It is not upholding Catholic teaching on abortion. It is no longer a Catholic institution.

Barclay James Harvest:Hymn (Video and Lyrics)

This song emphasizes the dangers of drug abuse. It was dedicated to musicians like Jimi Hendrix, Paul Kossoff and Janis Joplin. It contrasts the temporary thrill of illegal drug use with the spiritual "high" of Christianity. Religious imagery permeates this classic.

Valley's deep and the mountain's so high

If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side

You stand up there with your head in the clouds

Don't try to fly you know you might not come down

Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth

The people said it was a virgin birth

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth

The people said it was a virgin birth



He told great stories of the Lord

And said he was the saviour of us all

He told great stories of the Lord

And said he was the saviour of us all



For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high

He rose again as if to ask us why

Then he ascended into the sky

As if to say in God alone you soar

As if to say in God alone we fly.



Valley's deep and the mountain's so high

If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side

You stand up there with your head in the clouds

Don't try to fly you know you might not come down

Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Nine Executed by hanging in Iran on December 24th 2008

In YNet news.com :

Eight men and one woman were executed by hanging early Wednesday at a prison in the Iranian capital of Tehran, Iranian news agency Fars reported.
According to the report, the nine were convicted murderers, who were sentenced to death in accordance with a clause in Islamic law allowing eye-for-eye retribution....Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iranian law is based on the Sharia (the body of Islamic religious law), and people convicted of murder, rape, adultery, homosexuality, abduction, robbery and drug smuggling are sentenced to death....

Executions cannot be justified on a number of grounds. God gives life. Only He should take it away. All executions are final. The dead cannot be brought back to life in the event of a miscarriage of justice. Quite simply the death penalty is barbaric wherever administered. It is a relic of bygone times. Discontinue it.

Washington State Atheists attack Christmas: Bill O'Reilly v. Gov. Gregoire

In Washington State, the Capitol Building is displaying: a Nativity scene, a Christmas tree, and an atheism sign which reads:

"There are no Gods, no devils, no Angels, no Heaven or Hell.There is only our natural world.Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."

The sign was placed by the "Freedom from Religion Foundation" on behalf of its State members. Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire refuses to have the sign removed.
This outrageous attack is part of a developing campaign by atheists to eradicate all vestiges of Christianity from American society. The text of this atheism sign displays a hatred and contempt for Christianity which is in sharp contrast to the message of hope and love associated with the Nativity scene.
The sign contains a list of absolute statements none of which can be proven.
In contrast there is sufficient evidence to prove the veracity of the Christian message.
The Culture War is alive and well. The secular liberal fascists-although a tiny minority-have been emboldened by the reticence of many politicians to represent the views of the Christian majority.

Sarah Palin Attacks Obama on Abortion and defends the right to life of the unborn in a speech par excellence at Johnstown PA

This is a moving speech beautifully crafted. It defends the right to life of all unborn children-indeed the sanctity of all human life. It takes into account Gods will. Referring to her child Trig who was born with Downs Syndrome she said "we feel blessed." Obama ignores Gods will on this issue. He supports unlimited abortion and the culture of death.

Sarah Palin went on to state:
“….Who is more vulnerable or more innocent than a child?.... Every innocent life does matter. Everone belongs in the circle of protection. Every child has something to contribute to our world if we give them that chance. And now there are the worlds standards of perfection and then there are Gods standards and these are the final measure. Every child is beautiful before God and dear to him for their own sake..... It is hard to think of many issues which could be possibly be more important than who is protected in law and who isn’t. Who is granted life and who is denied it .

So when our opponent speaks about questions of life I listen very carefully… So I listen when our opponent defended his unconditional support for unlimited abortions. He said that a woman shouldn’t have to be quote 'punished with a baby'… Ladys and gentlemen he said that right here in Johnstown: 'punished with a baby'. Its about time we called him on it”

Sarah Palin- A woman of achievement and humanity who doesn’t just talk the talk she walks the walk.

The October edition of Alive carries an article on Sarah Palin titled:This Lady knows how to walk the walk. It was written by Anne Nolan. The article is not available online. Here is an excerpt.
Palin 44,has electrified the Republican Party and won the enthusiastic support of pro- life and pro-family groups across the states.

A committed Christian and a member of Feminists for Life, she gave birth some months ago to a baby with Downs Syndrome, despite pressure from doctors to abort the child.The day after her sons birth she announced “Trig is already beautiful and adored by us. We knew through early testing he would face special challenges, and we feel privileged that God would entrust us with this gift and allow us unspeakable joy as he entered our lives.

“We have faith that every baby is created for good purpose and has potential to make the world a better place. We are truly blessed”……… Here is a lady who doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk. And she makes the anti-life hardness of heart in Barack Obama look so stale, so has-been.

"Reflections Of A Mother"

I gave you life,
but cannot live it for you.

I can give you directions,
but I cannot be there to lead you.

I can take you to church,
but I cannot make you believe.

I can teach you right from wrong,
but I cannot always decide for you.

I can buy you beautiful clothes,
but I cannot make you beautiful inside.

I can offer you advice,
but I cannot accept it for you.

I can give you love,
but I cannot force it upon you.

I can teach you to share,
but I cannot make you unselfish.

I can teach you respect,
but I cannot force you to show honor.

I can advise you about friends,
but cannot choose them for you.

I can advise you about sex,
but I cannot keep you pure.

I can tell you about alcohol & drugs,
but I can't say "No" for you.

I can tell you about lofty goals,
but I can't achieve them for you.

I can teach you about kindness,
but I can't force you to be gracious

I can pray for you,
but I cannot make you walk with God.

I can tell you how to live,
but I cannot give you eternal life.

I can love you with unconditional love all of
my life... and I will.
