Pilgrims

Dear Friends,

A slight diversion from the recent domesticity.

I note that the Bishop of Mostar is tidying up some of the liturgical facilities in Medjugorje, especially at two of the popular communities there.

No doubt detractors will see this as yet another sign of disapproval of all that is happening there.

However, we need to be reminded that the Bishop, although sceptical about the appearances of the BVM there, is an ardent supporter of a healthy devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Before we rush to the barricades on either side of the various arguments in Medjugorje, let's pause and reflect, that doing this may help to concentrate such devotion at more public venues including the parish church, and enhance the kind of healthy spiritual life he seeks to promote.

The problem as I see it, is that so few detractors notice how positive Bishop Peric is over many aspects of the work in Medjugorje. In addition his stance helps a good outcome in the end as well as the meantime whether the Vatican approves of the visions as genuine or otherwise.

So cheer up, there are lots of reasons to continue to be very cheerful about those going on pilgrimage to Medjugorje ... and to continue to pray that by so doing their devotional life may be enhanced and grow healthier.

Yours ay,

Fr. Ted
(The Reverend Doctor Edward Baty, IMM)

PS If you are in England and can't get to Medjugorje, then visit Walsingham. There are heaps of new and exciting things going on there, not least the advent of Bishop Lindsay at the Anglican Shrine.

The New Venture Continues

Dear Friends,

It has been a week of continued domesticity and family matters. This was of no account as the new venture had a slight hitch. However I'm back in action and busy with the various activities the new adventure entails.

My advisers tell me that I can work in my underwear if I want to. However I suppose that is true of anyone at home with a computer and decent curtains!

Nevertheless they reckon we can make $3905 a month each in our underclothes.

If you are interested then you can get set up with my colleagues. Just click the link below:

It is a team system so there is bags of help available!

Yours ay,

Ted

New Venture

Hello,

I've started a new venture which looks promising (don't they all?).

This one is very well presented and doesn't seem to make any attempt to deceive - a refreshing change from most of the stuff out there, including the media and those scientists pretending to know all about religion.

It is essentially a web site provider with all the usual back up, to be compared with my present providers.

Click Here for a good look yourself.

Let me know how you get on and we'll compare notes.

Yours ay,

Personal Finance - a Scriptural Viewpoint

Hi everyone,

Looking through the available resources I discovered a useful looking site expounding scriptural ideas about finance.

It's pricey, but it looks good and there is a money back guarantee worth reading if you are in doubt!

Don't doubt without checking up on your doubts by clicking HERE.

You may want to eliminate them.

Best wishes,

Fr. Ted

Prayer Breaks and Coffee Breaks?

Hi,

I've found a useful proposition which may help some of us in Lent.

It's set of downloads and bonuses by John Harricharan, endorsed by Joe Vitale amongst others.

The idea of a "PowerPause" he outlines is similar to the "Arrow Prayers" we are taught to shoot up to God at times during the day.

I'd suggest combining all three - PowerPause with Prayer and a Coffee if you want it. Coffee breaks with Jesus are to be recommended!

CLICK HERE for details.

Yours ay,

Ted Baty

PS My late good friend Fra Dr Slavko Barbaric in Medjugorje always said that breaking for prayer was so much more refreshing than breaking for coffee. Why not combine the two?

Resources about Church Essentials

Hi!

I'm being very "churchy" this morning! Perhaps it is the after effects of a pleasant Sunday! Who knows? (Please don't answer that!)

Church Teaching

So I'm searching for good solid Christian teaching about what we believe. To my astonishment there is not very much available on ClickBank. Anglican Doctrine seems totally absent (but that may just be the case generally despite the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine Articles the Lambeth Quadrilateral, and Holy Trinity Brompton.) So there is an opening for a good writer. I'm writing one of my own but it isn't complete yet! I'm hopeful and still looking.

I did discover what appears to be an excellent set of teaching for Roman Catholics however. So if that is what you are and want to learn more, or if that is what you most definitely not but would like to underline what you are not, then this is a good place to go. click HERE or on the name:

Catholic Doctrine: lots of resources and solid advice and teaching from a catechist in the USA.

Do you want to increase your church membership?

When I was busy evangelising - some twenty years or so ago, but much the same situation is still with us today, I guess - I worked with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Daniel Cozens, and several other major evangelists. Our main problem was, and I still find it difficult to believe, the people at the centre of church life - clergy, church councillors, stewards, and (especially) treasurers. So many when asked "Would you like to double your church membership?" said "No"! What were they afraid of? (Yes1 you can offer an answer to that, please).

Anyone who would still say "Yes" to that question CLICK HERE!

Fund Raising

If you are needing extra funds, there is a welter of advice online ... but "be careful out there" as criminals and scamsters abound (judging by recent events that applies to governments and bankers galore as well).

I like this site as it is friendly, looks vibrant and young, and has some excellent articles for your magazine. Again CLICK HERE

I guess that is quite enough for one day! Nevertheless, keep in touch!

Yours ay,

Ted Baty

Today's Offering

Hi everyone,

Yesterday's post was about facilities from Fr. Dave in Sydney, NSW.

Today's will be posted later on. In the meantime, do have a look at what is on offer already, especially the wide variety of useful data from Australia and elsewhere.

Till later, then,

Fr. Ted

And Here Is One I Prepared Earlier!

Hello!

Today is Sunday so a quickie full of good content.

I mentioned a website earlier with Fund Raising help on it. There is much more to it, all useful in a whole variety of ways from the Dave Smith Stable in Sydney NSW.

CLICK HERE

Once you are in, click on the various titles and enjoy. "Sex, The Ring and The Eucharist" is worth a good read.

Till next time,

Yours ay,

Fr Ted
