Hi, I am looking to buy some cheap but decent rosary beads in the UK.... The only ones I seem to be able to find are either plastic, or £40!!
I found some really nice ones here;

Please can anyone tell me where I can find some nice rosaries, preferably like the ones above (and cheap!) in the uk?

Help! How Can I Rescue My Marriage Before We Drift Further Apart?

Does it sometimes seem like your marriage or relationship is turning colder with every passing day?

Is it true your sex-life is on a downward turn â€“ and has been for a while?

If so, you may be able to benefit from this reply I sent to an unhappy husband who was in exactly this situation. Hereâ€™s what he had to say followed by my responsesâ€¦

[Unhappy Married Man] I really need some help in my marriage before we drift even further apart and Iâ€™m hoping that you can offer me some help thatâ€™s the real deal. I have been married for 19 years and find that our relationship and sex life is in limbo at present. There are so many demands on our time that there is none left for intimacy, not to mention sex.

[Calle Zorro] Either consciously or unconsciously, youâ€™ve made a choice as to where youâ€™re going to USE your time. From what youâ€™re saying, youâ€™ve DECIDED that other things are more important than your relationship. Thatâ€™s most likely why itâ€™s in â€œlimboâ€. But of course, you could at any time DECIDE that your relationship is more important than those other things â€“ and begin giving energy and attention to the relationship.

[Unhappy Married Man] I have read a number of articles explaining quick fixes to relationships that frankly do not work. I am not looking for a quick fix to our current dilemma, but something more lasting.

[Calle Zorro] I agree, â€œquick fixesâ€ do not work because a â€œquick fixâ€ is nothing more than trying to get something for nothing â€“ and anything worth having has a price associated with it. A mutually warm, loving, and sexual relationship is one of the most valuable things a person can have â€“ and something that valuable doesnâ€™t come for free â€“ it doesnâ€™t come â€œauto-magicallyâ€. The price one must pay to enjoy a wonderful relationship is maintaining a certain state of mind, devoting time to each other, and putting effort into keeping the relationship exciting.

[Unhappy Married Man] I have deliberately used the word â€œourâ€ because this includes my wife as well. I am not looking for self gratification, but rather the chance to rediscover the strong feelings of love, romance and excitement my wife and I had earlier in our marriage.

[Calle Zorro] This ties back to the state of mind price I mentioned earlierâ€¦ If youâ€™re anything like a normal man, there was a time when you were attracted to the lady who is now your wife. She was all you could think about. She was all you WANTED to think about. Thatâ€™s a state of mind. You CHASED after herâ€¦yes, you wanted her sexually but you also wanted her as a person too. Thatâ€™s a state of mind. You used your mind to DESIGN ways to spend more time with herâ€¦thatâ€™s a state of mind. You had plenty of OTHER things that you could do but you were interested in MOSTLY allocating your time to herâ€¦every chance you could get to be with her and to do things with herâ€¦you took advantage of. Thatâ€™s a state of mind. Probably, as youâ€™re reading this, youâ€™re reflecting back to that time and remembering that state of mind â€“ and thatâ€™s the pointâ€¦you HAVE the mental faculties â€“ the ability â€“ to recreate that same state of mind and OPERATE in that state of mind â€“ AT WILL. Itâ€™s a CHOICE. All youâ€™ve got to do is DECIDE that you want to and then DO it.

[Unhappy Married Man] We still love one another but the reality of the situation is that a lot is said in anger over 19 years and the concept of â€œforgive and forgetâ€ is not always put into practice.

[Calle Zorro] One of the things I talk about in my product, â€œHow To Seduce Your Wifeâ€, is how that we mostly want to view forgiveness as a ceremonial act of the offending party coming to us and begging for our forgiveness and we â€“ like some pompous being of royalty â€“ ceremonially grant them pardon and forgiveness. But of course, that almost never happens and so people go through life perpetually offended as they frequently reflect back on offences. So, a much more useful form of forgiveness is to view it as picking the â€œweedsâ€ out of the â€œgardenâ€ of your own mind. Itâ€™s just so much more useful for you as a man to consciously and purposely throw out any negative thoughts that you may be holding onto related to both real and perceived offences â€“ no matter whether your wife ever acknowledges her â€œwrong-doingâ€ or not.

[Unhappy Married Man] I am sure that a â€œshrinkâ€ will have an explanation for this situation, but please my wife and I are not looking for answers like â€œdid you wet your bed as a childâ€ or many others that come to mind.

[Calle Zorro] Iâ€™m with you on thisâ€¦ Iâ€™m sure there are social workers and family counselling therapists who are sincere and who help peopleâ€¦Iâ€™ve just never met any of them who could do anything besides take things around in circles and upset both spouses more than they were before. The fact is, if you have a splinter in your finger, thereâ€™s not a lot of value in talking about how you got that splinter. Whatâ€™s more useful is simply removing the splinter. Similarly, if youâ€™re cold, thereâ€™s no value in talking about the cold. Instead, DO SOMETHING to get some heat going and the cold just goes away. Itâ€™s exactly the same in a relationship. Thereâ€™s not a lot of value in talking about past grievances and trying to weigh out exactly who was at fault and to what extent they were wrong. But, there IS a LOT of value in DOING things that create a warm, sexual marriage.

[Unhappy Married Man] We are looking for practical solutions that are exciting and help us to re-kindle our love and romance.

[Calle Zorro] Go visit my website (see resource box) where youâ€™ll find the solution that gives you exactly what youâ€™re asking for.

Help! Has my son become a Catholic?

Recently, I found what I believe to be a rosary in my son's room. It has five large purple beads, but they're kind of soft and squishy. Also, there is a plastic ring tied the end, probably to hang it on a hook or something. Anyway, he doesn't seem to be interested in Catholicism but what else could these funny-looking beads be used for?

You know your son is experimenting with his Uranus, right? *says very nicely*

Easter Baskets for Children

Easter signifies new hope and fresh starts. For Christians, Easter signifies the divinity of Jesus when he rose from the dead. For others, Easter is also special as it signifies the end of the cold winter and opens to the new life of Spring. This is why Easter rituals consist of worship and afterwards, celebration. One common ritual followed during Easter is the Easter mass. This is followed by egg hunts, luncheon and fun programs for the family. Parents, girls and boys wear their best dresses and suits during the festive holiday.

Another common icon of Easter is the Easter basket. The baskets are not only for holding eggs found during the egghunt. These baskets can be prepared to contain goodies that will delight girls and boys, and their parents as well.

If you are hosting the Easter luncheon or program, or would simply want to make easter more enjoyable for your children, prepare Easter baskets with goodies that the children will enjoy even though more holidays come long after easter.

Here are some suggestions when preparing the Easter basket:

Determine the number of children to give number of baskets to

Find baskets of suitable size for each child.

Line basket with colorful tissue or soft paper. Decorate edges or handle with ribbons or flowers if you wish.

Also strew leaves or grass if desired.

Since easter is primarily a religious holiday, include a small prayer book for children. For those applicable, you may also add small religious items like rosary beads or rosary ring.

Add colorful eggs. Choose from real painted ones or colored plastic eggs with toys inside, or egg-shaped candies.

You may also put in a cute stuffed bunny or chick.

A small coloring book with bunnies or eggs or symbols of spring will also entertain the child when the easter program is over. Add a small box of crayons so the child can start on the coloring book immediately.

Pocket sized story books about bunnies, eggs, spring or hope are perfect additions to the goodies, and they are educational as well.

Surely, the Easter basket will be enjoyed by the children when they see how prettily decorated it is, and the colorful goodies inside!

question about catholic medals with flower and saint?

My grandmother gave me several medals from her time. Most of them have a flower on them. At first I thought it was for pretty decoration, but I wonder if there is a spiritual symbol to it? I don't know what kind of flower, not a rose, they have a circle center and petals.

Also can you help me identify the name on one medal? It's a pin pendant. It has the flower on the back then the picture is of a female saint who looks like she's wearing a nun veil. The writing on it is hard to read but this is what I can make out:
"S. Franc XAV Cabin"

Thanks for help with these questions.

I think that the flowers are purely ornamental. I haven't been able to find anywhere where it explains why there is a flower on the back of some of them.
SAINT FRANCES XAVIER CABRINI VIRGIN, FOUNDRESS—1850-1917
Feast: November 13
As saint of our own time and as the first United States citizen to be elevated to sainthood, Mother Cabrini has a double claim on our interest. Foundress of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart and pioneer worker for the welfare of dispersed Italian nationals, this diminutive nun was responsible for the establishment of nearly seventy orphanages, schools, and hospitals, scattered over eight countries in Europe, North, South, and Central America. Still living are pupils, colleagues, and friends who remember Mother Cabrini vividly; her spirit continues to inspire the nuns who received their training at her hands. Since the record remains fresh in memory, and since the saint's letters and diaries have been carefully preserved, we have more authentic information about her, especially of the formative years, than we have concerning any other saint.

Catholic Pope

admin — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:55:31 +0000

What do you think of the Catholic pope telling the Africans to not use Condoms?

These experts seem to agree with the Pope:

Last year, Edward C. Green, director of the AIDS Prevention Research Project at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies, wrote: "In every African country in which HIV infections declined, this decline has been associated with a decrease in the proportion of men and women reporting more than one sex partner over the course of a year—which is exactly what fidelity programs promote."

And: "Many countries that have not seen declines in HIV have seen increases in condom use, but in every country worldwide in which HIV has declined there have been increases in levels of faithfulness and usually abstinence as well." http://www.harvardaidsprp.org/index.html

Sam L. Ruteikara, co-chair of Uganda's National AIDS-Prevention Committee wrote: The proportion of Ugandans infected with HIV plunged from 21 percent in 1991 to 6 percent in 2002. Telling men and women to keep sex sacred -- to save sex for marriage and then remain faithful -- is telling them to love one another deeply with their whole hearts. Most HIV infections in Africa are spread by sex outside of marriage: casual sex and infidelity. The solution is faithful love. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/29/AR2008062901477.html?wpisrc=newsletter

The Catholic Church has never asked unmarried people to have unprotected sex. Neither has she asked married couples with diseases to have unprotected sex.

Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years:
1. Single people should be celibate.
2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
3. Married couples should welcome God's gift of children and, therefore, artificial birth control is against the will of God.

If the world is going to ignore teachings about chastity (1 & 2), then why is the world so upset about teaching artificial birth control (3)?

People who are already ignoring the more important teachings about chastity (1 and 2) should have no problem ignoring the less important teaching of artificial birth control (3).

Even if a person infected with AIDS was to use a condom to help protect his or her spouse, condoms are not 100% effective (read the box) and the spouse may be infected and die anyway. A person who truly loves their spouse would not endanger them in this way.

In regards to sex outside of marriage, the Church makes it a practice not to tell people how to sin. With or without a condom:
• Fornication is still fornication
• Adultery is still adultery
• Rape is still rape

With love in Christ.

What Pope Benedict Xvi Can Expect From His 83Rd Birthday And 2010

As Pope Benedict XVI experiences his 83rd year on planet Earth (April 16, 2010), accusations are railed against He and the Catholic Church. This is an extensive article which examines the factors facing the Pope and the Church He presides over.

Pope Benedict XVI was born Joseph Alois Ratzinger on April 16, 1927. His life path number (numerology) is 3. 3's are Inspirational and Expressive Communicators. Those who have read the writings of Pope Benedict XVI or who have listened to His speeches would agree. I also notice the number 4 in the birth date of Pope Benedict XVI. Number 4 is the number of the Emperor Tarot Card. Aries is the Zodiac Sign corresponding with the Emperor Tarot Card. Number 4 is the number of hard work (and of Angels). Number 5 is the number of the Pope Tarot Card. I always wondered why the two Pope wore the red shoes. I was amazed to see the Ruler wearing red shoes on the Tarot Card. I've always respected the Catholic Church for bringing the supernatural knowledge of God that other religions removed from the Bible canon. Pope Benedict XVI has never been afraid to speak about the Mystic side of God and the mystery of the Resurrection. Pope Benedict XVI is also an Aries. Aries are forward moving and quite fearless. In 2008, it was a blessing to watch the Pope travel through the New York crowds. I was amazed at his precise eye contact. When someone (even a baby) reached out their hand, the Pope immediately grasped the extended hand!

We must remember that God speaks to us through the Heavens (Psalm 19:1). It's important to know that wise men used Jesus' Natal (Birth) Chart (His "Star") to know events concerning the Lord (Matthew 2:1-10). A person's Natal (Birth) Chart gives great information on a person's life and things they may experience during that time. A person can not receive an accurate Astrological Profile reading if the birth date, location, and estimated time are not known. A person's daily horoscope also helps explain what the person will currently experience. The below information includes both Natal (Birth) Chart information for Pope Benedict XVI and the Horoscope for His 2010 83rd Birth Date:

The Natal-Birth Chart For John Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)

Examining The First House (Self Image)

Sun In Aries In The First House Of Self Image-Aggressively Moving Forward

Chiron Bordering Aries And Taurus In The First House Means That The Future Pope's Self Image Would Be One Of An Aggressive, yet Patient (Taurus) Healer (Chiron) And Worker (Taurus)

Sun Rules Leo

Mars Rules Aries

Ascendant is Pisces-The Ascendant Has Great Power Over The Person-Pisces Is The Sign Of Inspiration And Spirituality

Jupiter In Pisces In The First House-Jupiter is the planet of Expansion and Good Fortune. John Ratzinger would be a great Source of Expansion for Spirituality and Inspiration

Mercury In Pisces in the First House-The Universe also Blessed John Ratzinger with Great Inspirational/Spiritual (Pisces) Communications (Mercury-Messenger of the Gods) Skills-It's obvious by these placements that John Ratzinger would become a World Wide Inspiration list

Uranus Bordering Both Pisces And Aries In The First House-Uranus is the Planet of Suddenness, Electrifying Events, And Opposition To Undesirables. John Ratzinger would not be one to "flee" from matters He felt strongly against. He would be a great fighter (Mars-Aries) For Spirituality and Inspirations (Pisces).

Examining The Second House (Value System-Income-Banking)

Juno In Taurus In The Second House-Taurus is the Sign of the Patient Worker. Juno governs the role of the woman in any type of "covenant" relationship. We must remember that the Woman most connected to John Ratzinger (Who Would Become Pope Benedict XVI) Would Be The Divine Mother Mary. I'm certain that we will see Virgin Mary very active in John Ratzinger's Birth Natal Chart-It would be this Woman who would oversee the Work and Financial affairs of John Ratzinger.

Venus Bordering Both Taurus and Gemini In House 2-As I noted in the above paragraph, we see a strong Feminine Presence (Venus) in House Number 2. There is a reason why Venus appeared in both Taurus and Gemini. Gemini is the Sign of Genius but is a conflicting sign. Some who befriend Gemini's called them "disloyal" and/or inconsistent (conflicting). We must remember that Jesus was betrayed (handed up, delivered) by Judas and the Priests. The Bible definition of "betray" is to deliver up for sacrifice. The Bible definition of "betray" generally refer to the Priests who offer sacrifices (and to those who are like Judas-assistants to the "betrayal" (sacrifice)). In American History, "Benedict" is the name of a betrayer or traitor. A good leader can not always agree with one side. To maintain expansive strength, a Leader must be able to "please" many sides. In this context, a good leader must be a Betrayer or "Benedict". There is yet another reason why a Strong Female Presence (Juno-Venus-Mary) appeared in John Ratzinger's (Pope Benedict XVI's) 2nd House with Taurus and Gemini. There will always be a conflicting (Gemini) effect between Human (Mars) and Spirit (Venus). There will always be a conflicting (Gemini) effect between human and Spirit (Mary). The Female Presence appeared with Juno, Venus and Taurus in the Second House to guide John Ratzinger in dealing with all these matters of Leadership. This was His work and assignment from the Universe (God's Voice-Psalm 19:1).

Examining The Fourth House (Family-Saturn or Scorpio In The Fourth House (Cancer) Is Father-Venus Or Libra In 4th House Mother)

True Node Retrograde And Bordering Both Gemini And Cancer In The Fourth House-The True Node Is The Zodiac Sign That The New Born Is To Attain To In Their Life Time. A Retrograde usually means the Opposite of what is intended by the Forward Motion. It appears that the Retrograde is associated with the Conflicts the Gemini would bring upon the Family (Cancer).

Mars In Gemini In House 4-Yes, we see the Conflict (Gemini) in the House of Family (4th House). This can relate to John Ratzinger's family, but I'm assuming that it relates to the Church. There will always be conflicts between human "flesh" and Spirit. Jesus felt this same conflict the night He was arrested.

The Imum Coeli-IC-Gemini-The IC is the Essence and Subconscious of the Person. We've already explained why it is necessary for a Good Leader to Be a Benedict (Conflicting). If He is purely "one sided", He will not be a massive (Universal) leader of the people (masses).

Examining The Fifth House-Leo (Pleasure, Children, Creativity)

Pluto In Cancer In The Fourth (Family) And Fifth (Children) House-Pluto rules the Supernatural. Pluto is also a Great Eliminator. Pluto Rules Scorpio. Words such as "Strange" or "Weird" are often applied to Pluto's Effects. We can see that the Supernatural was very interested in Creative (Leo) Ways to Reach Families (4th House) And Children (The Fifth House). This information causes me to remember many of the Supernatural Visitations witnesses by children who became Saints.

Examining The Sixth House-Virgo (Health, Coworkers, Vulnerabilities, Stomach Area, Small Animals, Military)

Neptune Retrograde In Leo In The Sixth House-Neptune Rules Pisces. Leo is the Sign of Boldness and Often Leadership. Neptune is the Planet of Dreams and Ideas. A Retrograde Neptune would imply that John Ratzinger might "pull back (Retrograde)" from bold (Leo) ideas. John Ratzinger did abandon the Military (6th House) towards the War's end. It is also a possibility that John Ratzinger has or will suffer problems in His Health

Examining The Seventh House-Libra-(Balance, Justice-Partnerships, Law, Marriage, How Others View You)

Fortune Bordering Virgo And Libra In 7th House-Fortune explains how a person may obtain success. Libra is the Sign of Fairness and Law. Virgo is the Sign of Health & Critical Analysis. The Fortune projection for John Ratzinger was to be Critical (Virgo) and Yet Fair (Libra) in Lawful matters. The Law can refer to Secular or non Spiritual. We must add that the Sign of Virgo can apply to the Virgin Mary. Thus John Ratzinger's "Fortune" would be in promoting Healthy (Virgo) Doctrine (Libra) of the Blessed Virgin.

Lilith In Seventh House-Lilith is the Dark (Black Side) of the Moon and is Feminine. It is no accident that Lilith appears in this 7th House (Of Justice and Spiritual Law). Read Revelation Chapter 12. There you see the Woman with the Moon (Lilith) and Stars (Angels-Astrology-Daniel 12:1-5; Revelation 12:4; Matthew 2:1-10). Lilith is associated with the Black Madonna (Mary). You can study the Black Madonna to learn more about Her. Libra is the Woman Bearing The Scales Of Justice. John Ratzinger's Seventh House Is The House Of The Divine Feminine.

Moon In Libra (Moon Sign) Libra-The Subconscious and Emotional Essence Of The New Born) In The 7th House-Once Again We See The Woman (Divine Feminine) And The Moon Associated With John Ratzinger's 7th House. You Must Also Notice The Scales Of Justice (Libra). I Will Show You A Mysterious "Secret". Notice The Scales (Balance-Weights-Libra-Scales) Associated With Baal (Moon) Or Balance At Revelation 6:5-Remember the "Black" Madonna? Now Read Revelation 12:1-13. Now Read Revelation 17:1-16; Now Read Revelation 6:5, 12-17). Notice the stars falling to Earth (Angels, Astrology-Read Revelation 9:1-end and Matthew 2:1-10 and Luke 2:1-end). Notice the mention of the "Mountains" in those previous Bible verses and at Matthew 24:15-22. Remember that Mother Mary Is The Jerusalem Above (Heavenly Jerusalem-That Great Mountain)-Galatians 4:24-26; Hebrews 12:22

With This Powerful Presence In John Ratzinger's 7th House, He Would Be The Prime Candidate For Church Doctrine Regarding The Divine Mother. John Ratzinger Would Also Be Very Sympathetic And Supported Of Womanly Concerns And Issues (Especially Pertaining To The Church). This Reminds Me Of The Time That The Women Approached Moses On A Matter, And He Assisted Them.

The 7th House Rules The Descendant. We'll Now Learn About The Descendant

The Descendant Is Virgo In The 7th House Of Libra-I Knew We Would See A Significant Appearance Of Virgin (Virgo) Mary In John Ratzinger's Natal-Birth Chart

John Ratzinger's Seventh House Of Partnership and Legal (Including Church Doctrine) Matters Is The Central Home Of The Divine Feminine

Examining The Eighth House-Scorpio (Taxes, debt, death, legacies, credit, insurance, partnership(s), income received through your marriage or business partner(s), life's mysteries, death, rebirth, and sexual matters)

Scorpio is Ruled By Planet Pluto. On the Day John Ratzinger was born, Pluto was Retrograde In Cancer (Family Well Being). Scorpio was probably affected by Pluto's Retrograde. This Chart will show us if this assumption is correct. Scorpio is a sign of mystery, secrets, sensuality, inquisitions, investigations, and erratic behaviors

Vesta Retrograde In Scorpio In The Eighth House- We immediately see the Universe's Intention to "dull" (Retrograde) the erratic energies of Scorpio. Vesta describes the sacrifices made in life. These sacrifices include sexual relations. It is no coincidence that the Universe assigned Vesta to sexually erratic Scorpio. Vesta will assist any who how vowed sexual abstinence. With out the "pulling back" of Retrogrades, Scorpio would be an accusing and very inquisitive energy emittance

Pallas Retrograde In Scorpio-We can now see how Powerful both Pluto and Scorpio are. The Universe was very much aware of these Supernatural Powers and sent Retrogrades to "pull back (dull)" the Energies. Scorpio is associated with storms and upheavals. Pluto is associated with Eliminations and Transformations. Pallas supports daughter and females protecting them from dominating circumstances. Like most people, women hate being repeatedly accused or mistreated. Thus Pallas helped "calm down" Scorpio's erratic energies with both Retrogrades of Pluto (Ruler of Scorpio) and Vesta

Examining The Ninth House-Sagittarius- (The ninth house influences higher education, advanced training, publishing, publicity, advertising, politics, foreign travel, foreign studies, religious and philosophical views and activities, court decisions, second marriage, in laws, and cultural pursuits. The ninth house can also relate to the job or health of one's Father).

Ceres In Sagittarius In The Ninth House-Ceres is the Mothering Nurturer Of Adults. We once again see the Presence of the Divine Feminine Mother. Sagittarius is the Sign of the People. Sagittarius is also the Sign of Cupid With The Pointing Arrow. In A Darker Setting, Sagittarius Is The Sign Of The Shooter Or Assassin (Kennedy-Oswald-November 22, 1963-Beginning Date Of Sagittarius-22 Caliber Rifle)

So either the Universe would Nurture John Ratzinger to ensure He would fulfill His assignment of World Inspiration list (especially in matters of the Blessed Mother) and/or John Ratzinger would be a Nurturing and Healing Leader (Ceres) of the People (Sagittarius)

Mid Heaven, Medium Coeli-MC-Sagittarius-MC describes how others see our achievements. John Ratzinger would be seen as a People Person (Sagittarius). As Pope, Benedict XVI demonstrated His "people skills" in 2008. New York City (And The World) Loves The Pope!

Saturn Retrograde In Sagittarius In House 9-Why Would The Universe Cause Saturn To Retrograde In John Ratzinger's 9th House? We'll Have To Do Some Investigating Work To Find The Answer. Saturn Rules Capricorn. Capricorn is the Sign of the Professional or Business Person. Saturn Rules Karma And Responsibility. We learned earlier that the Divine Woman Was Greatly Interested In John Ratzinger's Second House (Taurus) Of Finances. We now see the Universe "pulling back" (Retrograde) Saturn and the Business World (Capricorn) so that John Ratzinger can focus on the People (Sagittarius)

We now know what the Universe had in Plan for John Ratzinger on His Day Of Birth, 1927. Let's now see how this information ties in with what the Universe now wills for Pope Benedict XVI on His 83rd Birth Day

Now let's see what the Universe has in store (Horoscope) for Pope Benedict XVI on His Birthday (April 16, 2010) And 2010:

In numerology, the number for April 16, 2010 is 5. 5 is the number of the Pope Tarot card. The Universe is always precise and often works with unique coincidences (and oftentimes, humor). 5 is the number of change. Pope Benedict XVI's age of 83 is 11 in numerology. 11 is the number of the Enlightened Spiritual Teacher.

My initial viewing of Pope Benedict XVI 2010 Birthday chart shows two interesting pointers. There may be more interesting things (which will be discussed as they arise).

There is a "pointer" from the Taurus 3 Planet Alignments to the Mars-Leo Alignments

There is a "pointer" from the Pisces 2 Planet Alignment to the Saturn Retrograde in Virgo Alignments.

I recently wrote an Astrological Profile for Easter-April 4, 2010. I explained that the Universe wants Justice administered in the secular and religious world. I believe that one or both of these "pointers" is re iterating this "demand" from the Universe.

These two pointers have been "duly noted". I will return to the two pointers if this Birth Day (April 16, 2010) Chart (The Universe's Voice-Psalm 19:1) deems it necessary.

I must add something else that is Very Interesting about Pope Benedict XVI's Birthday 2010 Astrological Chart. Those two "pointed out" alignments are on one side of the chart, while most of the planets group into various signs on the other side of the chart.

It really appears that God is speaking through the Universe (Psalm 19:1) and demanding that the areas He is pointing out are promptly addressed.

Let's look at the massive Planet alignments on the other side of Pope Benedicts XVI's Birthday 2010 chart:

Uranus bordering both Aires and Pisces-This same alignment occurred on the Day of Pope Benedict XVI's Birth. On Benedict XVI's birthday, the Universe is reminding Him that He was appointed by God to be the Inspiring (Pisces) Voice Who would Oppose (Uranus) the usual way of doing things ("status quo").

Jupiter in Pisces- Good Fortune and Expansive Inspirations will continue to spread worldwide on Pope Benedict XVI's Birthday.

Chiron Bordering Both Pisces and Aquarius-I remember Jesus telling those ancient religious leaders, "I want Mercy not Sacrifice (Matthew 9:13)". On Pope Benedict XVI's Birthday the Universe will place Chiron in both Pisces and Aquarius. The Universe is demanding that a worldwide Healing of Inspirations (Pisces) and Enlightenment (Aquarius) be carried out.

Neptune in Aquarius-When Pope Benedict XVI was born; the Universe caused Neptune to Retrograde in Leo. The Universe did not want baby John Ratzinger to grow to be a dreamer. A dreamer sits around dreaming. The Universe wanted Pope Benedict XVI to be a Forward Moving (Aries) Leader (Leo) Who was not afraid (Leo-Aries) to invoke Change (Uranus-Aquarius). On Pope Benedict XVI's 83rd Birthday, the Universe is now telling Benedict XVI that it is ok to Enlighten the World with Dreams and Humane Actions.

Sun Bordering Both Taurus and Aries-Aries is the Aggressive Mover. Taurus is the Patient, Hard worker. It appears that the Universe will add extra Sun power to these energies. It appears that the Universe is encouraging the Pope to be less patient and more aggressive in the areas that the Universe is pointing out on this chart.

The Moon, Mars and Venus all in Taurus-April 16, 2010 will be a very confusing day for Taurus's. It will be a day of very erratic (and ever changing) emotions and actions. On the day of Pope Benedict XVI's Birth, Venus and Mars were both influencing Gemini. God gave Joseph Ratzinger the assignment to "overcome" the Feminine Deity (Venus) versus Masculine/Human (Mars) conflict (Gemini). 83 years later, the Universe has aligned Mars, Venus, and the Moon in Taurus. Taurus is the Hard Worker. The Moon is often associated with God's Presence (Matthew 24:27-34; Joel 2:25-35). It appears that the Universe is commending Pope Benedict XVI for courageously proclaiming the "Mother Of God". This sacred "Mystery" is certainly very confusing to the masses (Sagittarius).

Mars in Leo-The Universe is encouraging Boldness (Leo) despite Earth's struggles (Mars).

True Node-Capricorn-The True (North) Node is the Zodiac sign that the Universe is focusing on. Capricorn represents the Business World and is ruled by Saturn.

Saturn Retrograde in Virgo-Did anyone notice that "strange" coincidence that Saturn left Virgo around Pope related events (such as Easter and the Pope's 83rd Birthday) but will return to Libra shortly thereafter? As the Bible does tell us, the Universe most certainly does speak God's Communications (Psalm 19:1). Virgo influences Health and Critical Analysis (reason). Virgo often represents The Blessed Virgin, Mother Mary. It appears that as the Universe stated in Pope Benedict XVI's Birth chart, God does not want Benedict XVI interacting in Business. God (as spoken by the Universe-Psalm 19:1) wants Pope Benedict focused on Virgo (the Blessed Virgin).

Keep in mind that the Saturn Retrograde in Virgo (Virgin) and Mars in Leo were the two pointers that I immediately noticed on Pope Benedict XVI's (83rd) Birthday Chart. Keep in mind that Mars rules Aries and Aries is Pope Benedict XVI's Sun Sign and Pisces is His Ascendant (Rising Sign). This can't be a coincidence! The Universe (God's Voice-Psalm 19:1) is in Full Control!

Pluto in Capricorn-The True Node is also Capricorn. The True (Node) North is the sign that the Universe is focusing on. On Pope Benedict XVI's Birthday, the Supernatural will be present in the affairs of Business. This can be Secular or Spiritual Business. God is presently Judging the Business Worlds (Hebrews 2:2; Matthew 7:1-5; Revelation 17:1-2, 5).

In analyzing both the Natal (Birth) Chart and the 2010 Birthday Chart of Pope Benedict XVI, I noticed several noteworthy points. God specifically gave Birth to Pope Benedict XVI for our time (Esther 4:14c). And what is "our time"? Reflecting on these following sentences and questions will show us "what time" we are in: Recently an automobile manufacturer blamed "cosmic interference" as the cause of unexpected (Uranus) accelerations. How many politicians and business men have we witnessed tried and sentenced to incarceration? How many kingdoms have we witnessed overthrown and kings deposed? How many famous people have been sent to jail? How many religious people are under lawful scrutiny? God called Moses at age 80. At that age, Moses initially rejected the assignment (Exodus 3:1-end). God is presently Judging the secular and Spiritual world. It would be unwise to imitate Herod who hated the Light (Matthew 2:1-10; John 1:1-5). God, through the Universe expects His Beloved Pope Benedict XVI to take Courageous (Leo) and Just (Libra) actions swiftly (Joshua 1:5-10).

Sebastian Medal

admin — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 17:30:04 +0000

Meaning of St. Sebastian Medal?

I also want to know the meaning of the other like St. Jude and St. Michael. Maybe someone have a link to a site with their meaning. Greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.
Oh and I ask please do not leave any unnecessary or rude comments. I simply want an answer.

St. Sebastian is the patron saint of archers and athletes.
St. Sebastian was a captain of the guard under Diocletian. When it was discovered that he was a Christian, the Emperor ordered that St. Sebastian be taken out into a field and bound to a stake to be shot at with arrows. Even though he was shot a great number of times, he did not die.

He was found alive and nursed back to health. During his recovery, he restored a young girl’s sight. When the Emperor discovered St. Sebastian was still alive, he ordered that Sebastian be stoned to death and his body placed in a privy.
