Mary, Mother of God, Mother of Priests, Benefactors, Important Books, Florae (of sorts)

Thanks to E.R., who sent in a totally unsolicited financial contribution to the Hermitage. But that was the least of it. Also included was a picture of Mary, Mother of God, Mother of Priests, above. But there is much more. E.R. also enrolled yours truly in he Sacred Heart Association of the Salesians in Rome (Masses, Rosaries, etc.). Very wonderful. I need all the prayers I can get. Thank you, E.R.

C.W. sent in the important and timely Finis Vitae, about the illegitimacy of organ transplants, for which it is falsely claimed that the patient is “dead”, and for which, by the way, they want the patient alive for the best organ viability. The patient is killed with the removal of the organs.

Methods of killing the patients in the U.S.A. might seem genteel, and so family members are confused. In places like China, you just get a bullet to the forehead, organs are harvested and then the rest is sent to Germany where they continue their hitleresque experiementations. Oh, I forgot. Germany stopped taking the corpses when they realized that the “patients” weren’t even patients, but rather healthy political prisoners, such as priests and bishops faithful to Rome. But I digress. Get this book and it’s accompanying pamphlet, or at least the pamphet, which will help you to make the right kind of statement about what you want to happen at the end of your life, helping to ensure that proper morality is followed. Really, get the pamphlet. This is just one of those things you have to do: HERE. When you get that, and see it, you’ll want to get more for others and bring it up in your parish…

Here’s a book I didn’t put on the wishlist. I wanted to get it immediately. This book was only just NOW printed. I think I might have gotten the first copy. Yikes! This is a book I’ll want to study well. It’s Father Gordon MacRae who told me about it over the phone. There are two major studies of cases, with one of those being Father Gordon MacRae. Yikes again! More on this in future posts, please God. This is an essential book for the new evangelization. If there is no justice, there is no believer in mercy. That’s as simple as I can put it. For your copy at Amazon: HERE! Just get it. Scroll down on this page of TheseStoneWalls to see comment 6 of the author.

Now, on to a different topic. Here’s a picture of some local bamboo. Being from Minnesota, I know nothing about it. Is there a way to keep it from spreading where you don’t want it? I think it would be the ideal firewood for meals in the summertime: Light, easy to cut, extremely hot and quick fire. But, is there a surefire way to keep if from taking over a few thousand acres within a short amount of time?

This is… what? I think it’s a comet’s tail or star something…

Get the books.

    The flower in the bottom photo is Blazing-Star of the Lily family. Flowers from April to July. Fairly common in moderately rich woodlands and in meadows at low to middle atrirudes. It is also called “devil’s-bit” or “fairy-wand”

    Dear Father,

    It’s a native wild orchid, Spiranthes cernua, called in English, Nodding Ladies’ Tresses. Very suitable for Our Lady’s month!

    I would recommend Wild Flowers of North Carolina, 2nd. ed. (authors William Justice, C. Ritchie Bell, and Anne Lindsey) for its beautiful photographs.

    Thank you for your beautiful web site.

    Father George,
    Bamboo is notorious for taking over large tracts of land overnight. Cutting it down doesn’t prevent it’s regrowth. I have included a link from an agricultural extension agent in NC. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/chatham/ag/homehort/BambooControl.htm
    A less than encouraging quote from his site “Bamboo is one of the most difficult to control “escaped ornamentals.” Once established, bamboo can take over landscapes, stream banks, and woodlands. I have seen bamboo shoots actually breaking though concrete driveways” He goes on to say that it takes YEARS to completely eradicate bamboo.

  5. O.K.! So, that’s a “no” vote. Thanks for that info. I would NOT want to disrupt what’s going on in the forest of Holy Souls Mountain!

    Instead, I’ll see if the neighbor will let me harvest his patch…

    Thanks for that. Yikes!
