Our Lady At Fatima Portugal Summary
In the story of our salvation, there is something interestingly similar about shepherds and messages from heaven. In the Old Testament God appeared to Moses while he was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law. The first humans that heard the news of the birth of Christ were shepherds in the field minding their sheep. So many years later in Fatima Portugal, the Blessed Mother appeared to three little shepherd children with a heavenly message. She identified herself as coming from heaven. While the first was about the salvation of the world the second was for the Peace of the world. Like the angel from heaven she assured the children not to be afraid for she was not going to harm them. The content of the message was just a motherly advice …show more content…
It is probably because of the history behind the apparition, the intervention of the Virgin Mary as the mother of Peace. When she is addressed as the Queen of Peace, she truly showed herself as one. She came when the world was at the brink of collapse because of the First World War and delivered peace to the world through the recitation of the …show more content…
Each of her statements conveys a very important message. One of the most important messages she conveyed in the scriptures is the instruction she gave to the stewards at the wedding feast at Cana in the gospel of St. John – which I have already cited in this book, “Do whatever he tells you”. John 2:5. Those are the last spoken words of the Blessed Virgin Mary recorded in the scriptures. As Pope Francis puts it, “They are the legacy that she leaves to all of us.” It is the way of life of the people of God. Did she purposely reserve these words as her last words to her children through these stewards? It may not be so it may just be a coincidence but God knows how to program things to fulfill his

    After reading through the various experiences of Catalina de Erauso, it is very clear to me that she wanted to escape the strict and binding socio-political norms established in Spanish society. While I do not doubt the religious faith of Catalina de Erauso, I feel she placed a great social value on those working under the crown in the New World. She did not want to be bound by a religious convent like her sisters. Catalina left the convent in Spain in order to escape the civil and religious limitations placed upon women in Spanish society. The New World served as a way out, an escape from the life she once lived. In my opinion, I believe she put a very high social value on that of being a man fighting under the Spanish crown, but that’s not to say she didn’t still see religion and God as being a big part in her path to forgiveness, redemption, and rescue. While she did not want to live a life strictly bound by the ecclesiastical authority, that’s not to say she did not still have a belief in God and faith. This battle between reason and faith often caused her many troubles and contemplations. By dressing as a man, Catalina reasoned the opportunity to escape and discover was worth the risk; something she couldn’t receive had she chosen the life of a nun. Whether she put one over the other is hard to say, she relied both, in ways not comparable to the other.…

    She often compares herself to people in the Bible. When she was younger she had trouble with spiritual accounts. For this she brings up 2 Corinthian 12. 9. This scripture tells that God's grace is enough for her. Then later she brings up Job 1. 15 that says “And I only am escaped alone to tell the News(221).” This scripture is significant to Mary because she feels as though she was alive because she was chosen to tell of the events that occurred during King Philip's War.…

    Lucretia Mott Analysis

    She supports this by mentioning that "many women are there now immolated upon the shrine of superstition and priestcraft, in our very midst, in the assumption that man only has a right to the pulpit, and that if a woman enters it she disobeys God; making woman believe in the misdirection of her vocation, and that it is of divine authority that she should be thus bound" (Mott 3). She speaks about this with great authority as she herself is in a religious leadership position. The Bible is clear on women preaching, women prophesying, and women leading in churches all over Jerusalem and Judea. Many early Christian leaders and preachers were women, such as Mary Magdalene, Nympha and Phoebe. Moreover, Phoebe is described by Paul as a deaconess and she delivered one of Paul's letters to the church in Rome. This evidence does not seem to be taken into account by the age's Christian leaders, and consequently is concealed from general knowledge, as can be seen in Rev. John Chambers address at the World Temperance Convention. Women who aspired to become religious leaders could not fulfill their calling because men had decided that they were not fit for the task. Women had no say on the matter, and their choice on whether or not they wanted to be in that position of authority was taken away from…

    I believe her message, in simplest form, was to find a balance in living a life pleasing to God while also looking out for and bettering humanity. Don’t just live your own life, instead inspire others, stand up against injustices, and take care of one another. She recognized that our society became very good at looking out for and providing for themselves or individualistic. She challenges people to put others before themselves and restore humanity.…

    Ernest J. Gaines said "There will always be men struggling to change, and there will always be those controlled by the past". Boyz in the Hood definitely put a lot of truth behind those words. After watching the film you have to ask yourself a series of questions: Which plays the larger role in your upbringing environment or nurture? Can an old dog be taught new tricks? Do you have complete control over your life? I will attempt to answer the questions with great detail while remaining as unbiased as possible.…

    Assess the reasons for the communist victory in the 2nd Indochina War The communist victory in the second Indochina war was highly due to the failures of conventional warfare from the US and ARVN such as the bombing of the Ho Chi Minh Trail and search and destroy missions which did little to bring down the Viet Cong. The Tet Offensive also contributed by being a turning point for the war, leading to a decreasing American support for the war as it caused media chaos. The end of US aid through the Paris Agreement and Vietnamization policy impacted the South negatively leaving a poorly lead army and a crumbling economy and the already corrupted South Government highly contributed to the communist victory as well. ARVN and the US’s strategies and tactics of conventional warfare such as search and destroy missions and bombs were very ineffective.…

    The prayer mother Ann makes in honor of Rebecca reflects another one of her big ideas. She thanks god for Jesus, and then thanks “Mother Wisdom” for Rebecca, because she helped her through illness, mistakes, and sorrows as well as instructing her in the way of God. This shows the communitarian society she is creating, the reliance on each other to be closer to god and reach holiness.…

    She used her previous knowledge, her understanding and wisdom to convey to her audience that she has “ploughed, and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head [her]! And ar’n’t I a woman?” If no man helped do all that labor, gained “tremendous muscular power” then does it mean that she able to do the work man do. So why can’t she have the rights they do? With the use of logos, she could shoot down the claim “superior rights and privileges for man, on the grounds of "superior intellect"; another, because of the "manhood of Christ; if God had desired the equality of woman, He would have given some token of His will through the birth, life and death of the Saviour."…
