Mormon Plates

Next Month I will purchase a shovel. Why should I buy a shovel? The Mormon plates are a little bit below my Hobby-Room at home!

First they are buried deep at about six feet.  Along my property border, which is a wall, I will have to dig from the neighbors side down and about three feet underneath the slab because the plates are on my property side.

And, after a few discussions and that my Father worked for Trace Manufacturing, a maker of printed circuit boards, and knows a lot about copper, I honestly would like to dig a little.  I know that the Mormon plates are mostly made of copper and lead, and that they are rectangular.

Purgatory topic

Catechism [1030-1032, 954-959]

We can die in the love of God but still deserve punishment for our sins just like a person can steal something, be sorry, but still deserve punishment.  This punishment we deserve might be called the “stains of sin.”  Such stains are cleansed away in a purifying process called purgatory.  These stains of sin are primarily the temporal punishment due to venial or mortal sins already forgiven but for which sufficient penance was not done during your lifetime.  This doctrine of purgatory, reflected in Scripture and developed in Tradition, was clearly expressed in the Second Council of Lyons (A.D. 1274).

Having passed through purgatory, you will be utterly unselfish, capable of perfect love.  Your selfish ego-that part of you that restlessly sought self-satisfaction-will have died forever.  The “new you” will be your same inner self, transformed and purified by the intensity of God’s love for you.

Besides declaring the fact of purgatory, the Second Council of Lyons also affirmed that “the faithful on earth can be of great help” to persons undergoing purgatory by offering for them “the sacrifice of the Mass, prayers, almsgiving, and other religious deeds” (63)

Screen yourself

Hugh Farrell is semi-public. I obviously want to promote myself and share my thoughts.  Least of all, however public my topics become do I want to inhibit someone from sharing their views. Even if the reader happens to have an opinion after having known me. And so, I want to tell you how sharing my information is best.  Screen yourself.  Just establish with yourself and others that the ethical issue of Murder is wrong absolutely.  Then, and only then will it be possible to carry on about Hugh Farrell.

You will say, “oh hugh, we know this already. God just gets mad.”

You may if you wish visit the Gmen (1935) page. Or, you could accept this as my request. “Hugh Farrell is prepared for screening of this nature.”

Invitation to Faith

For those readers who have just tuned in at Gevluef, I am writing for my upcoming Baptism in April 2009.  The baptism has captured my full attention since the December 11, 2008 announcement.  Everything since has been about how important the Sacramental Rites are to the development of Religious Faith.  I am not going to evangelize for you now, I just want to mention how it’s going.

I am entered into the Book of Election.  In the Rite of Election, I declared my commitment to the Catholic Church by the inscription of my name in a Book of Elect.  As an official elect, I will be eligible to practice Catholic traditions such as the Nicene Creed, Eucharist Responsorial, and Community activities among other stewards of Faith. I want to discover the Religious Practices as they have been for all of Time.  And so I want to celebrate my faith in God, and help the Church to do the business of Religion.  I sincerely wish to serve my community by recognizing the presence of God in all human beings.
