The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Italiano: Tiziano - Presentazione al Tempio (dettaglio), ca. 1538. - Gallerie dall'Accademia a Venezia.

The Magnificat

My soul magnifies the Lord,

And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,

For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.

And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.

He has shown strength with His arm: He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree.

He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He has sent empty away.

He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;

As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,

implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.

To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but, in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee!

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

MOSES

AREA B

Detroit

Metropolitan Organizing Strategy Enabling Strength (MOSES) is a congregation-centered, interfaith and interracial, interdenominational, urban and suburban community organization. MOSES officially incorporated in 1997. Currently MOSES has a membership of 50+ congregations and institutions across Southeast Michigan. In 2003, MOSES joined with Ezekiel of Saginaw, Michigan and ISAAC of Kalamazoo to develop a statewide network called Michigan Interfaith Voice (MI*Voice) to impact state policy on issues that are in common to our local communities. MOSES is a vehicle by which congregations of faith come together to develop a network of relationships, to identify common interests, and to exercise power on behalf of those interests. Through MOSES we assert our religious principles in the public realm to improve the quality of life in our communities and to create a more just and human society.

"Arguing" In St. Paul, MN

Faith+Values: These guys love a good argument

The theological debates that began with six men at a back table in a St. Paul restaurant now are monthly meetings that routinely draw 300-plus people, some from as far away as Cambridge, St. Cloud and Wabasha.

[...]

The club was started by Roman Catholics and still focuses on issues that affect Catholics, but it's often done from a big-picture perspective that reaches beyond Catholicism and draws a broader crowd.

"We have people of all faiths here," Echert said, and, sometimes, even nonfaiths, he added, pointing to a debate in January between a religious studies professor and a representative of Minnesota Atheists. "He brought several of his atheist friends along for support, and we were glad to have them."

And it's not like G.Beck's Arguing With Idiots...good thing! ; )

'We can lead construction of a new global order'

Can anyone today seriously believe we can tackle the recession better without the European Union and the G20? Does anyone now seriously believe we can protect ourselves from international terrorism on our own, in a fortress Britain, without America, NATO, the European Union, and our coalition allies?
