Manay, today, offer this prayer to the HEART OF DIVINE MERCY, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST:



O merciful Jesus, lover of souls, I beseech You, by the agony of Your Most Sacred Heart and by the sorrows of Your Immaculate Mother, wash clean in Your Blood the sinners of the whole world who are now in their final agony, but especially those on their way to eternal damnation and who are to die this day. Heart of Jesus who suffered death's agony, I beg You have mercy on these poor souls. Amen.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love;
According to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned, and done what is evil in your sight,
So that you are justified in your sentence and blameless when you pass judgement.
Indeed, I was born guilty, a sinner when my mother conceived me.

You desire truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me.

-Psalm 51: 1-12

Hi Folks!

Long time no see. I used to take care of my in-laws. My father in-law died 2 years ago, and now my mother in-law is dying. She is 87 years old and presently in home for the aged. She refuse to eat and medications are stopped. She is surviving only on intravenus fluids.
She is a non-practicing protestant, I keep on praying to St Joseph and have some mass request on her behalf.
I want to hear from you, what should I could do to give her spiritual assistance?

Manay

Manay, what is your mother in law's name?

Hello and Good Morning Manay,


I hope that your Christmas Holiday was filled with peace and blessings, Manay! It's good to have you back here, and thank you for sharing with us the present circumstance of your mother in law. In this time of her life, depression is very common for elderly people, and the manifestation is the refusal of treatment and eating necessary foods. I feel your pain, Manay, and I will include your mother in law in my prayers today in Holy Mass. Manay, in this time of her life, she needs spiritual food. I would suggest you pray for her during your visits to Church and include her name in your supplications to the Heart of Divine Mercy, who is ever merciful.

When you visit her next time, say this prayer while you are sitting next to her:

Psalm 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
   for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
   through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
   in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
   my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
   all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
   forever.


Be strong Manay, ask the Lord Thy God to forgive your mother in law for all of her sins, and pray that she may have the grace of a peaceful death in peace with Our Lord Jesus Christ. I will mention you and your mother in law and the rest of y our family in my prayers tonight in Evening Mass. May God Bless You!


Always,
BRAN

ANOINTING THE SICK


The Catholic Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness.

HOLY ORDERS

In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, or Ordination, the priest being ordained vows to lead other Catholics by bringing them the sacraments (especially the Eucharist), by proclaiming the Gospel, and by providing other means to holiness.

MARRIAGE


For Catholics, the Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God's values.

CONFIRMATION


Confirmation is a Catholic Sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. It is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation for Catholics. It is most often associated with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

RECONCILIATION


The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance, or Penance and Reconciliation) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God's unconditional forgiveness; as a result we are called to forgive others.

EUCHARIST

Catholics believe the Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.

BAPTISM:

For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.

The Sacraments of the One, Holy, Apostolic Roman Catholic Church


1. Baptism

2. Eucharist

3. Reconciliation

4. Confirmation

5. Marriage

6. Holy Orders

7. Anointing of the Sick

The Latin word sacramentum means "a sign of the sacred." The seven sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred, significant and important for Christians. They are special occasions for experiencing God's saving presence. That's what theologians mean when they say that sacraments are at the same time signs and instruments of God's grace.

Why is group B Streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae) so common in neonates?

Answer: This is common in neonates because Group B Strep is a normal vaginal flora in 25% of women.
Complication: Group B Strep causes meningitis, sepsis and pneumonia in neonates and thus should be treated accordingly in a strategic manner.

How to treat: Obstetrician should take vaginal swab during 35-36th week of pregnancy and culture for presence of Group B Strep. If present, patient should be given prophylactic Penicillin or Ampicillin during labor to minimize the probability of neonatal infection.

Tetanus refers to tetanic paralysis , a result of the blockage of glycine from the Renshaw cells in the spinal cord. As a result, there is spastic paralysis, trismus (lockjaw), and risus sardonicus. Tetanus is caused by a gram-positive, spore forming , obligate anaerobic bacteria called Clostridium tetani.

Some time ago, I had a patient who was in advanced age. When I was taking her history, I asked her, "Do you take any medications?"

She answered back, "Oh, I take plenty of them, Doctor. You want to see them?"

As I was filling my notes, this very old woman took all of her capsules out of her bag and placed it on the table. I could not help but smile.

I turned and said to her, "You really take care of yourself , ha?"

Ingon siya nako (with a big smile), "You don't get to live up to 92 years without taking care of yourself, Doctor!"

bwahahaha. We both laughed. She was taking a lot of medication for her specific ailments, but I was amazed that her spirit was very resilient!

One of my favorite verses:

    "Gold and silver are tested by fire, but a person's heart is tested by the Lord."
            - Proverbs 17:3

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us."

- 1 John 4:18-19

Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
- Romans 13:8

Under investigation was a certain Angel Aquino, 43, of Barangay Wawa, Lingayen who was complained by his supposed patients of collecting large amount of money from them.

And this is usually the case.....

I am glad that the authorities apprehended this person. Who knows if he was injecting the patients with illicit drug paraphernalia.

It was a cold nodule, they took it (major opera) and cleaned it off (ingon pa sa doctor) then they did a nuclear radiation after a almost 3 months kay nadugay man kog balik from RP. Bale 3 days pod sa hospital. Since I lost my voice in the process ila ko gitaan ug medical leave for 5 weeks mao niuli ko sa Philippines to recuperate. And that was the last time I saw my house and personal belonging because while in the Philippines, our most unwlcomed guess to date visited us: Hurricane Katrina and wiped everything I had. The year was 2005.

Oh, by the way... OK na ko karon. On synthroid med for life, to control or balance my hormones.

Thanks for sharing that Father. To explain to everyone here, Father had a surgery called 'thyroidectomy", which is a surgical removal of all, or parts of the thyroid gland. In this case, the thyroidectomy removed the Thyroid Cancer (which comes in three distinct forms: papillary, follicular, and medullary).

Normally, the thyroid gland is responsible for secreting thyroid hormones (T3, T4) otherwise known as thyroxines that are responsible for the regulation of body metabolism and hormonal balance. With the loss of the thyroid gland, the body no longer was able to secrete the Thyroid hormones (T3, T4, TSH), and thus, one must be on regular thyroid hormone replacement for life for the maintenance of metabolism.

Medicine has created synthetic thyroid hormones, otherwise known as Sinthroid or Xinthoroid, through the Human Genome project, which successfully mapped the some 100,000 human genes and their location on the chromosomal DNA. Because we now know the composition of said DNA and their location, we are now able to make "synthetic" versions of these hormones in vitro and apply it in vivo.

Another example of "synthetic" hormone replacement is the creation of "synthetic insulin". Patients who are unable to secrete insulin (Diabetes Mellitus type I or extreme form of Diabetes Mellitus type II) cannot survive without insulin. However, because of the successful Human Genome Project, Medical Scientists are able to create a "synthetic" form. Now, people that normally could not survive without said hormones can survive and live a normal life.

As we speak, there are Medical Scientists who are researching on the proteins that regulate cancer growth, linking specific mutated proteins that are responsible for neoplastic growth (the genesis of cancer). Medical scientists are actually working on creating synthetic inhibitors that can theoretically inhibit cancer growth, and possibly even reverse the effects. To some extent, we have succeeded in the creation of some drugs that can effectively inhibit further cancer growth through the inhibition of proto-oncogenes and the regeneration of deleted TNF (tumor necrosis factors).

Answer:


Different color gum drops are placed into a large black jar and passed around the room. There are 27 pink gum drops, 19 orange gum drops, 12 black gum drops, and 4 purple gum drops. You are the first to pick a gum drop from the jar.
The  probability of picking orage is 31%  (19/62); The probability of picking pink is 44% (27/62); the probability of picking black is 19% (12/62); the probability of picking green is 0% (0/62); the probability of picking purple is 6% (4/62).
The probability of  picking purple or pink is 50% (31/62); the probability of picking orange or purple is 37% (23/62); and the probability of picking purple and then is about 1.2% (4/62 X 12/62).

Beautiful ang meaning...

Have nothing to do with godless philosophical discussions -- they only lead further and further away from true religion. Talk of this kind spreads corruption like gangrene, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus, the men who have gone astray from the truth, claiming that the resurrection has already taken place. They are upsetting some people's faith. However, God's solid foundation-stone stands firm, and this is the seal on it: 'The Lord knows those who are his own' and 'All who call on the name of the Lord must avoid evil.'

- 2 Timothy 2: 16-19

So I persevere for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they, too, may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. Here is a saying that you can rely on: If we have died with him, then we shall live with him. If we persevere, then we shall reign with him. If we disown him, then he will disown us. If we are faithless, he is faithful still, for he cannot disown his own self.

- 2 Timothy 2: 10-13

But remember, my dear friends, what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold,  At the final point of time, they told you, "there will be mockers who follow nothing but their own godless desires."

-Jude 1: 17-18

Today's unpredictable incident allowed me to ponder and discern on the verse from Sacred Scripture:
"Beloved, do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others." (Philippians 2:4)

It reminds me, and I hope that it also reminds all of us that it is good to give back to people and help those who are in need. Tho my assistance towards Mike today was , in my opinion, very minscule, I know that it was a reminder for me from GOD to focus on giving and doing things without expecting anything in return. That , if you do good and stay true to God, He will provide. Always....


May God Bless all of us, my dear brothers and sisters in the Faith. Have a Blessed Day!

Was at Starbucks Coffee store in the AM today. As I was getting my coffee from the counter, a man who was sitting in one of the high stools collapsed and fell backwards hitting the back part of his head on the edge of the wooden sofas. I triaged the man and stabilized him while I asked the workers to call the paramedics. The patient , whose name was Mike, held my hand when I laid him on the sofa and asked, "will I be alright? I don't have health insurance, you know."  I reiterated to him, "you will be alright, Mike, you will be fine." He turned to me and asked, "What is your name, sir?". I answered him, "My name is Albrando Lorenzo." Within 5 minutes the Paramedics / EMTs came and escorted Mike to the nearest hospital.

The starbucks workers gave me 4 free coffee passes for the "rapid help". Talk about being at the right place and at the right time.

I hope Mike is alright.

And with that, my day started.
