During the fall of 2006, the Jehovah’s Witnesses distributed a tract entitled The End of False Religion is Near. The tract makes the claim that all religions are false except the Jehovah’s Witnesses and that to avoid God’s destruction of all false religion one must become a Jehovah’s Witness ( www.watchtower.org/e/kn37/article_01.htm ). In this episode, Jeffery Schwehm, the President of the Fellowship of Catholic Ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses and a former Jehovah’s Witness Pioneer Minister, responds to the claims that the Jehovah’s Witnesses make in this tract and gives the Catholic/Christian viewpoint on these matters.Music is "Kol Yisrael" by Jeremy Gimbel, “Come Down, Come Down” by Porch Light (http://porchlight.org/) and “Under my Immaculate Mantle” and “Amazing Grace” by Susan Bailey (http://www.susanbailey.net/)Link to VideoTape Illustration of Resurrection: http://www.watchtower.org/library/we/article_05.htmLink to download Catholicxjw Podcast entitled The Soul is Immortal: www.archive.org/download/cxjw010/cxjw010.mp3www.catholicxjw.comhttp://www.archive.org/download/cxjw014/cxjw014.mp3

Meditations from Carmel (Podcast Info)
A prayer from St. Teresa of Avila:I am yours and for you I was born:
What do you want from me?
I am yours because you created me,
yours because you redeemed me,
yours because you bore with me,
yours because you called me to you,
yours because you also waited for me
and did not have me condemned.
What do you want of me?
See, here is my heart.
I place it in your hand,
together with my life, my body and my soul,
my inmost feelings and my love;
dear Husband and Redeemer,
since I have given myself to you,
What do you want from me?
Date: November 27, 2006Saint Teresa of the Andes - Letter 51 “A Carmelite has a separate cell. That is where she enters as into a temple to be sacrificed. In it there's a simple cross on the wall, without the figure of Christ. That is the cross on which she must die; she alone can enter that temple. It's reserved only for God and for the soul. There she lives in complete isolation from creatures and it is occupied only with her Lord.”

Date: November 19, 2006St. Teresa of Avila - The Book of Her Life - Chapter 11.6 “Beginners must realize that in order to give delight to the Lord they are starting to cultivate a garden on very barren soul, full of abominable weeds. His Majesty pulls up the weeds and plants good seed. Now let us keep in mind that all of this is already done by the time a soul is determined to practice prayer and has begun to make use of it. And with the help of God we must strive like good gardeners to get these plants to grow and take pains to water them so that they don't wither but come to bud and flower and give forth a most pleasant fragrance to provide refreshment for this Lord of ours. They He will often come to take delight in this garden and find His joy among these virtues. "

Date: November 13, 2006Saint Teresa of the Andes - Letter 51 - #2 “The Carmelite prays for sinners. At each moment she immolates herself for sinful mankind, and she does everything in silence. She loves God and in God thinks about those who do not love Him. She suffers as much in her heart, in her spirit, as well as in her body, for those who give themselves up to pleasures, and this is seen only by God. Creatures do not understand this. They say that it is useless. Nevertheless, how many rays of divine Justice are turned away from the world because they take them upon themselves!”

And you'll BBQ chicken if you're in the mood

The Antiochene Syriac Maronite Church Podcast (Podcast Info)
The Rite of Crowning (marriage) is introduced by an hour of the Divine Office, which forms the Service of the Word. Then the rite itself follows in three stages:1. The Rite of Covenant, including the verbal consent of the groom and bride, the joining of their right hands and the priest's blessing;2. The Blessing and the Giving of the Rings (which are placed on the left ring finger);3. The Rite of Crowning and the Removal of the Crowns.The first two stages, covenant and giving of the rings, are but a duplication of those performed in the betrothal rite. Originally, they did not belong to the Rite of Crowning itself...Elements of special meaning and importance for Eastern liturgies abound in the texts of the Maronite rite: the invocation of the "name" of God, which is a precise cultural act of the Temple; the reference of the Trinitarian expression in which the Father "rules all", the Son "redeems all", the Holy Spirit "instructs all"; the extensive use of the "right hand" of God, which manifests the protective power of God; the many references to the marriage of the Fathers of Old, especially Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who are considered as the pioneers of the first covenant and whose marriage represented the prototype of the actual one; the use of terms such as, "shooro" (wall, tower of protection), "gzoro" (flock), "mashcan zabno" (tabernacle, dwelling place of the Lord)...On the other hand, the themes expressed in the Maronite rite are all familiar to the Eastern liturgies. They stem from a basic theological vision, stressed briefly and soberly in the two tradional readings: marital love is at the image of Christ and his Church (Ephesians 5:22-33), and marital union is final as God's covenants are always final (Matthew 19:3-6).The theme of Christ and Church is dominant. As a matter of fact, the liturgical text seems to be more concerned with the betrohtal of Christ and his Church than with the actual marriage of the couple in presence...As far as God's Covenants are concerned, the permeate the whole liturgical celebration in the various aspects of their revelationqs: the "cosmic" covenant by which "heaven and earth were created"; the "scriptural" covenant contracted with the "fathers, kings, priests, prophets, apostles and holy women..."; the "mysterious" covenant in which Christ "sealed his nuptial pact with the Church" and "wrote it with his blood"; the "eschatalogical" covenant which was from the beginning and is the end and perfection of all others, and by which the crowning ceremony prepares, lives in the present times and leads the way to the second coming and the Kingdom.Underlining these themes, there is at the center of the liturgy the idea of joy. The Rite of Crowning is, in fact, a celebration of joy. Joy is intended in the reference to "pardon of faults and forgiveness of sins", for joy is a fruit of purification and liberation; it is expressed in the call for happiness, prosperity and fecundity; it is mainly told in the many blessings that keep "showering" upon the couple during the celebration; it is finally brought by the "mysterious" presence of Christ, similar to this "physical" presence at the wedding of Cana of Galilee...The Mystery of CrowningAccording to the Antiochene Syriac Maronite ChurchEparhcy of Saint MaronOffice of LiturgyBrooklyn, NY
Date: November 24, 2006This is the Rite of Betrhothal (engagement) according to the traditions of the Maronite Church. It takes place before the celebration of the Rite of Crowning (marriage).Though Canonically independent of each other, betrothal and crowning from a liturgical unity. The Rite of Crowning liturgically is a continuation (in reality a definitive step, a climax) of the Rite of Betrothal, when blessed by the Church. Both take place in the presence of the Church, through the assistance of the minister, both rites represent a holy and definitive commitment, each in its own way.The Rite of Betrothal includes three acts without introduction:1. The Rite of Covenant (consent of the couple, joining of the hands and blessing by the priest);2. The Blessing and giving of the Rings (on the right finger);3. The Blessing of the Ornaments (cincture, clothing and jewelry) and Binding of the Couple.In the current discipline, the Rite of Betrothal is ingnored. However, originally it reproduces the same meaning and effect of the betrothal as practiced in the Old Testament. The covenant and the giving of the rings in the betrothal represented then the definitive engagement of the couple. They were not simply considered as the sign of a promise the couple made to each other, nor as the pledge they were called to honor at a later time. On the contrary, they indicated the true beginnning of marriage itself - with only one exception, that is: the right to live together under one roof.The Mystery of CrowningAccording to the Antiochene Syriac Maronite ChurchEparhcy of Saint MaronOffice of LiturgyBrooklyn, NY
