History

Nativity of Saint John the Baptist

Saint John the Baptist, Pray for Us!

John 3:26-30

So they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you testified, here he is baptizing and everyone is coming to him." John answered and said, "No one can receive anything except what has been given him from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said (that) I am not the Messiah, but that I was sent before him. The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. He must increase; I must decrease."

Items on Ronald Coase

2 PDFs:

1) The Problem of Social Cost - 1

2) The Problem of Social Cost - 2

@ 12:33 mins.-(***update-sorry for the broken link-it's fixed now) Ronald Coase - "but the rights to perform certain actions, and the rights which individuals possess are established by the legal system. While we can imagine in the hypothetical world of zero transaction costs that the parties to an exchange would negotiate to change any provision of the law which prevents them from taking whatever steps are required to increase the value of production, in the real world of positive transaction costs, such a procedure would be extremely costly and would make unprofitable, even where it was allowed, a great deal of such contracting around the law. Because of this, the rights which individuals possess, with their duties and privileges, will be, to a large extent, what the law determines. As a result, the legal system will have a profound effect on the working of the economic system and may in certain respects be said to control it.

It is obviously desirable that these rights should be assigned to those who can use them most productively and with incentives that lead them to do so and that, to discover (and maintain) such a distribution of rights, the costs of their transference should be low, through clarity in the law and by making the legal requirements for such transfers less onerous. Since this can come about only if there is an appropriate system of property rights (and they are enforced), it is easy to understand why so many academic lawyers (at least in the United States) have found so attractive the task of uncovering the character of such a property-rights system and why the subject of "law and economics" has flourished in American law schools. Indeed, work is going forward at such a pace that I do not consider it overoptimistic to believe that the main outlines of the subject will be drawn within five or ten years."

The Sacred Heart of Jesus & Conclusion of the Year For Priests

Consecration Prayer - To the Sacred Heart of Jesus

I give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, my person and my life, my actions, pains and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being other than to honor, love and glorify the Sacred Heart.

This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all His, and to do all things for the love of Him, at the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to Him.

I therefore take You,O Sacred Heart, to be the only object of my love, the guardian of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at the hour of death.

Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God the Father, and turn away from me the strokes of his righteous anger.

O Heart of love, I put all my confidence in You, for I fear everything from my own wickedness and frailty, but I hope for all things from Your goodness and bounty.

Remove from me all that can displease You or resist Your holy will; let your pure love imprint Your image so deeply upon my heart, that I shall never be able to forget You or to be separated from You.

May I obtain from all Your loving kindness the grace of having my name written in Your Heart,for in You I desire to place all my happiness and glory,
living and dying in bondage to You.
Amen.

The Language of Love

"O Trinity, eternal Trinity! Fire, abyss of love ...

Was it necessary that you should give

Even the Holy Trinity as food for souls? ...

You gave us not only your Word

Through the Redemption and in the Eucharist,

But you also gave yourself

In the fullness of love for your creature!"

St. Catherine of Siena

I've never heard of this group.....hmmmmm......

United States Social Forum

I've been reading about this upcoming 'event'....getting ready to take place in Detroit,MI on June 22-26.

USSF Press Kit (a few items of interest from the pdf)

• "ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE ANOTHER US IS NECESSARY"
• "Amidst National Political Transformation, The UNITED STATES SOCIAL FORUM Brings New Hope for Change"
• "Over 20K people. Over 1500 creative actions. 2 weeks to redefine democracy."
• 
  
  "The USSF is also part of a global movement on the rise. The World Social Forum (WSF) has become an important symbol of global movement convergence and the development of alternatives to the dominant paradigm. Over the past nine years, the WSF has gathered the world’s workers, peasants, youth, women, and oppressed peoples to construct a counter-vision to the economic and political elites of the World Economic Forum.

• 
  
  "Understanding that WE, as activists, artists, community organizers, media makers, are the change agents we have been waiting for...... the PMC has created these living principles to address and challenge hierarchy within our movement."
