Skip to comments.Pope Francis: Sacrament of the Eucharist is not a 'magic rite'
Posted on 09/26/2013 11:52:46 AM PDT by NYer
.- During his daily homily, Pope Francis gave special emphasis to the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, saying that it is not magical act, but an encounter with the living God.
Pope Francis delivered his Sept. 24 homily to those who gathered in the Vatican's guest house, Santa Marta, for a private liturgy.
The Holy Father drew his reflections from the morning's reading from the passage in psalms, "We will go with joy to the House of the Lord," saying to those gathered that the Sacrament of the Eucharist is not a "magic rite," but rather an encounter with Jesus, who is our constant companion in life.
Throughout the history of God's people, the Pope said, there have been many "beautiful moments which bring joy," but also moments "of pain, martyrdom and sin."
However, the Pope noted that "God, who has no History because He is eternal, desired to make History by walking alongside His people."
"He decided to become one of us, and as one of us, to walk with us through Jesus."
Pope Francis stressed that this act not only shows us the greatness of God, but also his humility, saying that when his people strayed from him "in sin and idolatry," he did not abandon them, but "He was there" waiting for their return.
Jesus shows us the same humility, said the Pope, in that "he walks with the People of God, walks with the sinners; walks also with the arrogant," adding that Jesus did much to "help these arrogant hearts of the Pharisees."
The Church, stressed the pontiff, can rejoice in the humility of God which accompanies us as "We go with joy to the House of the Lord."
"We go with joy because He accompanies us, He is with us…and the Lord Jesus, even in our personal lives, accompanies us with the Sacraments. The Sacrament is not a magic rite: it is an encounter with Jesus Christ; we encounter the Lord – it is He w
Pope Francis "isms"
To newly appointed bishops: "Don't be airport bishops" (bishops who spend too much time away from their dioceses)
To pastors: The Confessional is not a 'torture chamber'
The Sacrament of the Eucharist is not a 'magic rite'
He's absolutely right! People have to remember this every time they go to Communion.
I don't think a lot of them do, because they're poorly instructed, alas. Maybe the Pope should take advantage of this moment to try to encourage better catechesis.
If the Eucharist really IS God, then it would have to have ALWAYS been God. Pretty easy theology.
Was Jesus the Incarnation of God made Flesh, or not?
If you believe that He was true God and true Man, then your statement is false.
If you don't believe that, then you are not considered in the bounds of what is normally considered Christian.
Jesus did not always exist as fully human. Are you saying that Jesus is not God?
If it looks like a dragon, walks like a dragon, talks like a dragon....
Feed it some crickets.
I agree, Livius, that most have been poorly instructed, but past a certain point, they have a responsibility to seek the truth. I submit this begins after they learn to read.
The problem is that most of them aren't even aware that they don't know the truth. I give tours at my cathedral, and I meet Catholics and other Christians from all over the country. They're always well meaning, but they are completely, utterly ignorant. They can't identify the statues of a single saint (even St. Patrick!), they don't know what the Blessed Sacrament is, they aren't sure what a bishop is or why the church is called a cathedral. Most of them no longer go to mass regularly and some of them attend Protestant churches occasionally. But they are so grateful when I tell them a few things.
I think the important thing is going out and using our tremendous Catholic treasury to impress and intrigue these people, whether people who think they're Catholic but know nothing, people who believe they've left, or just curious people of good will. They're not going to go seek things out unless somebody gets them interested in the first place, and maybe that's what Francis is trying to do.
I doubt that those Catholics are poorly instructed...Your Eucharist is after all, the mainstay of your religion...They know what they are taught, they just don't believe it...
If you tell me you are going to change an orange into a bicycle and it still looks, feels and tastes like an orange after you changed it, you'll never convince me a change took place...
And I'll bet a vast majority of Catholics who claim the bread turns into flesh don't believe it either...
And to go further, I would be surprised if there are any priests who actually believe it...
There are also a lot of people over the centuries and today who have not believed and do not believe that God gave Himself a human nature as Jesus. They say that if He looked like a mere human being, sounded like a mere human being, and to all human senses, appeared to be just a mere human being, then of course He had to have only been a mere human being.
They were (and are) wrong.
Same experience at my parish. Our situation is slightly different in that we are an Eastern Catholic Church. 2 weeks ago, I conducted a tour of the church with a large group of active, pro-life, Roman Catholics. I always begin by identifying myself as a Roman Catholic who practices the faith in an Eastern Catholic Church. This puts them at ease. The initial series of questions usually results in interesting reactions:
1. What religion was Jesus? This group had the correct response but I recall asking that of a Knight at a K of C function and he responded, "Catholic".
2. What language did Jesus, His mother and the Apostles speak? Many blank stares. Apparently, they had never considered this question. [Aramaic]
3. Did Jesus ever go to Rome? All blank stares. [No. He no doubt spoke and understood Latin because it was the language of the invaders but He never went to Rome.] Jesus was born, lived, died and resurrected in the Middle East.
I think the important thing is going out and using our tremendous Catholic treasury to impress and intrigue these people, whether people who think theyre Catholic but know nothing, people who believe theyve left, or just curious people of good will. Theyre not going to go seek things out unless somebody gets them interested in the first place, and maybe thats what Francis is trying to do.
You are absolutely right! The Q & A sessions are an opportunity to address unaddressed questions and clarify misunderstandings. The big surprise for ALL RC visitors is learning that the Catholic Church is comprised of 22 churches, 21 of which are Eastern. Most of them have never heard this before and it is quite the challenge to reassure them that ... YES ... they are all CATHOLIC ... in FULL COMMUNION with the See of Peter. Walk through the front doors of the church and you are greeted by a large photograph of Pope Francis and the papal flag. Those images scream "Catholic" and RC visitors, who should immediately recognize these universal images, are still confused.
Perhaps on the tours of your cathedral, you could pass along this information, thus becoming one more voice in communicating the fact that the Catholic Church breathes with two lungs. Kudos on your work!
Thank you! I am actually Eastern Rite (Russian Usage) too, although there isn't an Eastern Rite church of any kind near here so I haven't been to a Byzantine liturgy for years now.
I've noticed in recent years that most dioceses in the South have instituted religious education programs, but the problem is that they're not very interesting and actually not basic enough. They get a little vague and they're too warm and fuzzy, so men don't go to them and really the only people who go are older ladies who aren't going to learn much of anything new.
We did have a good response to Fr. Robert Barron's "Catholicism" series, although unfortunately the person who was the moderator, I guess you'd call her, is not very knowledgeable herself and I think she did more harm than good.
I wish the priests would go back to doing religious education. Some of them are not extremely orthodox, unfortunately, and others aren't as well educated as they should be, but they'd still be better than most of the other people and I think it would be good for people to meet them and have some sort of contact with them outside of Mass.
Since that phrase is so popular with you guys can I assume that your priests say that as they pass out the wafer???
There's a huge difference...When Jesus healed the blind guy, the blind guy could actually see afterward...
And when a lame person was told to get up and walk, he didn't crawl away while Jesus told the crowd, 'look, he's healed'...He actually walked...And everyone saw it...
There's nothing, nada, zilch, zero evidence or hint in the scriptures where Jesus said he is going to turn bread into his flesh, nor is there any hint that he did...And that's because he didn't...
If Jesus would have turned bread into flesh, it would have been flesh, not bread...
They say it as part of the Consecration. I would encourage you to attend a Catholic Mass. You won't melt.
Then it would look more like a seder and less like an invocation of sol invictus. :)
The Mass is a memorial of the Last Supper. You do believe the words of Jesus, don't you?
Sure! It's the words of the Roman church that I have problems with.
You're completely missing the point again. Even after they saw those things, most of the people alive in those times still did not believe Jesus was God, just like you don't believe Jesus when He said, "This is my body."
The point is, to their very limited human senses, He looked like a mere human being, not like God, and most of His contemporaries of those days did not believe He was God, just like you do not believe the ongoing miracle of the Holy Eucharist, even though Jesus solemnly declared and promised that it was so, and St. Paul confirmed that later.

"There's nothing, nada, zilch, zero evidence or hint in the scriptures where Jesus said he is going to turn bread into his flesh, nor is there any hint that he did...And that's because he didn't...",
Right, and the word "love" is not in there either. /s

" If Jesus would have turned bread into flesh, it would have been flesh, not bread...
This is a restriction that you, "Iscool", are trying to put on God, not a real restriction on God. The truth is, God does not have those restrictions, as Iscool simply does not have the power to put ANY restrictions on God, and Iscool will never have the power to put any restrictions on God, no matter how many times Iscool tries.
As a quick Biblical example of God making one thing appear as something entirely different to a person using only their limited human senses, read about the blind man, who after phase one of the healing process Jesus performed for him, saw what looked to him like walking trees, but were actually people. After phase two of Jesus healing him, Jesus enabled him to see the people clearly, as they actually appeared to most other humans. Jesus has the power to make humans see whatever Jesus wants them to see, in order to serve some purpose, such as, in the case of the Holy Eucharist, exercising their faith in order to strengthen it.
Here is that reference about the blind man:
And He took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when He had spit on his eyes and laid His hands upon him, He asked him, Do you see anything? And he looked up and said, I see men; but they look like trees, walking. Then again He laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly. Mark 8:23-25
That's where the proof of your proof text falls apart...
Your religion is very specific when it makes the claim that the bread and wine have the exact same characteristics before and after...
Jesus doesn't make any of you see flesh and blood...You see bread and wine...
just like you don't believe Jesus when He said, "This is my body."
I certainly do believe Jesus said that...Just as I believe he said, no one will hunger again after they come to him...I also believe both of those statements were spiritual, not physical...
We shouldn't wonder why so many recent graduates of Billy's Barefoot Bible College are on Catholic threads hammering away at every statement of from Pope Francis. They know most of us are not properly trained to argue or defend our Catholic faith. We are the "low-hanging fruit" that the newly minted "missionaries" cut their teeth on.
But then as I have traveled, I suspect the religious education in Nebraska was better than most places no matter what demonimation you attend.
Not talking transubstitution, which has a hard date when it was explicitly defined, but the real presence of Body and Blood of Jesus in Communion.
Christians from the earliest days believed that communion had the Real Presence of the Body and Blood in the bread and wine.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Do you believe that, for OUR sake, God often makes use of physical things in order to effect a spiritual benefit?
For example, are the waters of baptism real, physical water (not invisible, undetectable "spiritual water"), and do the waters of baptism appear to all human senses exactly as any other water one might swim in, or take a bath in? Does God use that ordinary water to perform an extraordinary spiritual transformation in a person, even though the water appears to be just ordinary physical water to our limited physical human senses the entire time -- before, during, and after the baptism?
Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3:5Likewise, does God desire to make use of our ordinary, physical human bodies to fulfill the magnificently extraordinary spiritual function of being a "temple of the Holy Spirit"?
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20Of course all these actions involve both the physical dimension and the spiritual dimension, and that spiritual dimension CANNOT be seen with our physical eyes, but must be perceived with our "eyes of faith". This is what God desires (for our limited human sakes), whether one understands and believes it or not. That is why God set up the celebration of the Holy Eucharist in the way that He did -- for our limited, human sakes.
Thank God for such a beautiful gift.
Depending on what you mean by Real Presence, I think many conservative protestant churches believe that now. If you mean the real presence of blood and human tissue, not so much but the Real Presence of a risen and victorious Lord then yes.
The how is not important, but He is there.
That's fundamentally incompatible with Christianity on many different levels.

Skip to comments.Obama has won, liberals, so why are you so ANGRY?
Posted on 11/09/2012 4:28:20 AM PST by RochesterNYconservative
Hey, fellow Freepers. I have to be honest. I am very disappointed and downbeat that Romney did not get elected, and I won't be a sore loser. We should just be better prepared for the war in 2014, and especially for 2016.
However, I trolled on Huffington Post and Bill Maher's Facebook page, and to be truthful, I have never seen so many SORE WINNERS as the Obama people...you should be euphoric and jubilant! Why are you so angry? Your guy won! Why all the threats and anger and bitterness. Obama is in for four years and you act like Obama was defeated and sent back to Kenya!
If Romney was elected, liberals threatened riots and assassination. I jokingly said on "CONGRATULATE PRESIDENT OBAMA ON HIS RE ELECTION" Facebook page and I made a suggestion for a gift for President Obama: "Two tickets to a play, or a parade in Dallas"...and boy, did the liberals on that page go crazy. Did not go over well!
So why are liberals SORE WINNERS? Where is the happiness and euphoria and high fiving?
They don't want to win. They want us to lose. That's what socialism is all about. They don't try to build up their constituencies to make them happy. They try to bring everyone else down to their level so that they won't feel jealous.
First lol of the day.....love the "two tickets....."
Exactly...they want to defeat the "enemy", not bring forth a superior vision. It is all ugly: women screaming, "Republicans, get off my vagina" and screaming, all caps laden rants. Wow...I am talking unhinged.
Anger, revenge, envy, and so on - It's what drives them. Nothing good comes from it.
There is no happiness in Hell ... only anger and hate lies and every evil, sinful desire.
Liberals are already in Hell here on Earth ... their Hell exists in their minds and is of their own making; every time they speak or write the foulness of their own personal Hell comes spewing out. It's who they are. It's what they do.
I have a feeling we havn't seen anything yet.
They are not going to understand why they are the ones that will suffer most.
They will still blame us.
We will not be able to help them... even if we want to.
Let us not forget that population control is a key agenda item for communists who see wealth as a finite item which must be preserved and distributed as needed.
Birth prevention (Planned Parenthood) is only 1 leg of a three legged system of controlling population.
Another leg is attrition. (health care death panels)
And the third leg is catastrophic death. (govt has been buying large amounts of ammo and caskets)
However, the one thing they will not be able to extinguish is the American Spirit... which is founded in allegiance to God. God IS in control. Who controls the communists? Who will win in the end?
If you don't have faith in God, I would advise getting some real soon.
The libs on FB have been insufferable.
One thing they are catching on to though.... this isn't going to be like other elections where everyone is relieved they don't have to see the ads - get the calls - everyone stops thinking about it and goes back to life as usual.
Life as usual is't there anymore. This isn't going to go away. Every day they are going to be confronted with the choice they made that doomed their fellow citizens.
They got so caught up in hating conservatives and fretting about contraception and abortion - that they doomed the economy.
Yes - the election is over - but the real fun is just about to get rolling.
If it weren't for the fact that I am devastated for my children I would almost enjoy watching Karma bite them in the butt.
LOL! You troublemaker you.
The idiot female doctor on the Today show said its unhealthy for the country to be sore losers. She never said anything about voting for revenge and how unhealthy that would be for the country.
There are some tax writing experts on the Hill who can figure out how to do that of course, but think of the advantage ~ Republicans don't pay more taxes, yet Democrats get the tax increase they want.
The parameters of the tax are it has to take all their accumulated wealth as well as current income. In the end they go bankrupt and have to move out into the streets to live under wool blankets held up by cardboard boxes.
Their chilun' are seized by Child Protective Services and sent to government orphanages.
They automatically get a felony conviction put on their criminal record and they lose their credit ratings.
It's only fair!
Well, to be fair, that was some major-league trolling there.
However, all one has to do is see the "hate tweets" directed at folks like Malkin, et. al., to see that the libs are as bitter and angry in victory as they would have been in defeat.
They're scared that we're going to lock and load and come after them. If you don't believe it, corner a lib in a dark parking lot with nobody else around and question his lack of brains and manhood.
Not even Dick Morris, who made an ass of himself with his predictions, was a sore loser. He admitted he messed up and laughed about how far off he was.
Then I see a lot of the gay marriage proponents on TV ready for blood ... and gay marriage WON! I mean, get married to your boyfriend now, Tony, don't snarl and show your incisors to me.
The sad thing about the left is yes they hate us and they want us to shut up and disappear but they also want us to continue footing the bills and taking care of them. The thing is you can't have it both ways.
All I can say is to steer clear of the left. They are screaming into their own void. Let them live with the consequences of their actions. They have no right to enslave the rest of us.
Let lefty men and women turn to one another for help, comfort and protection. Don't let them into your homes, or sleep with them or feel guilty because they refuse to do what it takes to rise to the occasion and actually do something to fix the problems in this country. The truth is, they are the problem. Let them drown in their own hatred.
The queers are all angry all the time, and they should be. They have very short life expectancies.
Remember Jesse Jackson's litany about passing men on the street ~ at night. That could change.
The heart of liberalism is envy.
Beneath the envy is an understanding that people are not really entitled to the things they desire, simply because they desire them.
Liberalism is always about force and control on the other guy; with the lingering doubt about why, if it's so great, he has to be forced?
You don't have to be intelligent or moral to understand this; you have to be pathological to ignore it.
Liberals are angry because their entire worldview is built on a lie, and in the core of their soul they know it. But they can't admit it, or their entire world will collapse. That's a lot to carry around.
The human mind can't endure this fracture.
I know what you mean. If it weren't for my children, I think it would be content to go to the highest peak for ringside seat at watching the whole place burn. There is this kind of comical irony to the behavior of the left. They are the walking talking example of "You brought that shit on yourself".
Because, for the most part, liberals are disgusting, bitter people. Liberalism is a mental disease.
Very true. But then there's even more.
At some level, I think they realize that their plan is unsustainable...that it simply doesn't work.
They love the idea of utopia and the theory that supports it...but they can see that it is impossible.
In the end, I think they are angry at God because in this world--in this reality--their way of life is simply but absolutely...doomed.
Winning may be the worst thing that could have happened to them because now they have to prove their message works. The Left is all about rebellion and striving...never about actually governing.
For years, they have screamed for the opportunity to show how their ideas work...well now they have their chance. And they are finally face to face with the unpleasant reality that socialism doesn't work. It never did!
Excuse me...I am lost here. What anger? Can someone give some concrete examples and/or links to liberal anger. What are they doing? Haven't had time to research THEIR reaction.
I'm still writing off my donations to my local congregation, and there by lowering my tax bill. More of my money stays in our local community.
Example? Check out bartcop...what a nasty online rag. The hate on that page is insane. Then I am on Facebook, and they are just vowing revenge, to end "the white male hierarchy," attacking the Romney family the day of their ELECTION VICTORY with manipulated pictures of Mitt and Ann Romney, made to look as unflattering as possible, and attacking even Ann Romney (she was not running for president and they attacked her for being blond and white...I mean, nuts). On Twitter, the black Obama supporters were posting "WE won (notice they did not say Obama won, they said WE WON), white mf's." It is WE as in blacks and angry feminists defeated conservatives (seen as mostly white and male). Their victory is sown in hatred, not pushing the philosophy and views of Obama per se.
Another things I've noticed is the total lack of graciousness amongst the Obamabots. As with "Dear Leader", they're going out of their way to get in people's faces, spiking the football.
This is behavior from lefties is something that I've taken note of over the years of participating on web forums, at support the troops rallies and Tea Party events. I've been flipped off, F bombed and had garbage thrown at me from lefties in passing cars. They're very bitter people, even when their guy wins.
I have heard evidence of the same anger on my local radio talkshows. You would think they would want to call in and say "How wonderfull it is Barry was re-elected". But all the many of the calls are just insults to the host/s and general anger.
I think this is a reflection of the "Revenge" attitude that Obama portrayed during his campaign. The election wasn't about Ideas or the Canidates to the Dems....it was all about getting back at and hurting conservatives. Now that Obama is in for another 4 years its all about doing things to "stick it" to Right Wingers. Policy will be instituted through the courts esp. if Barry gets another 1-2 Supreme Court picks.
Like a special tax bracket for Hollywood and Athletes?
I like your site, rochester_veteran. I cannot handle the fact Louise was re elected...she is nearly 90, hates conservatives (called the Tea Party "fascists"), votes far left (if she bothers to vote at all), and can barely walk...and she was re elected. But Jesse Jackson Jr. gets re elected, and he is in the Mayo Clinic for crack addiction and bipolar. Only a black liberal can get away with that. Well, there is Marion Berry.
Liberals are NEVER happy, because they are always looking outside themselves for 'happiness'.
If this guy asks me out, I'll be happy.
If my candidate wins, I'll be happy.
If I have a cell phone, I'll be happy......
The list is endless!
When happiness doesn't arrive like they planned, then they're not only UNHAPPY, but also angry that the 'plan' didn't work out.
They will never, EVER understand that happiness is an attitude, not a circumstance.
They're angry because you and I are still breathing and not sharing their worldview.
They hate us...truly hate us and their rulers have been de-humanizing us for years...you see the evidence that proves the "benevolence" of the past is not permanent and indeed there is some probability that they will soon justify heavy oppression against those who believe differently than their rulers.
I believe we very well may be entering a very dark period of time...and it will spread through the entire planet as we really were the glue to hold civilization together (through God).
"If it werent for the fact that I am devastated for my children I would almost enjoy watching Karma bite them in the butt....."
I can really identify with this. My poor children...
As I sat and watched all of this unfold Tuesday night, I kept thinking that I was watching half of a nation commit murder/suicide. I had convinced myself the true 'lesser of two evils'... Romney....would win...and the destruction could be slowed down.
My conservative brother, Andy, with whom I went to vote ....told me that morning (and I didn't want to believe him) not to get too hopeful....there are an incredibly large number of just plain stupid people in this country. I guess he was right.
We fight on. We have no other choice....
"They got so caught up in hating conservatives and fretting about contraception and abortion - that they doomed the economy."
There was a Star Wars novel that this brings to mind. Darth Vader is relaxing in a tub of revitalizing fluids, without his armor. He starts to feel better, but as he starts to feel better, his connection to the dark side weakens, and he starts having trouble breathing without his helmut. It's the contradiction of the dark side. He can't live without it, so he must stay angry and unhappy
Liberals cannot breath unless they are connected to the dark side, which makes them angry and unhappy, so they live angry. It's a metaphor, I know, but I think an apt one.
They are leftist or lefties not liberals. Start using their tactics against them by NOT using words to describe them that make them sound nice and generous. They hate being called leftist but they call us right wing nut jobs.
-call reproductive rights/abortion baby killing instead and watch them go crazy :)
- call fair share income redistribution
Let us start using their own words against them.
And when they say "you're stupid to call 0bama and the democrats 'socialist' - look up the definition of the word!"
Reply "yeah, I guess you're right, their/your policies are more closely akin to fascism, but I didn't want to go down the 'Hitler' route with you."

Our children will thank us someday for not having surrendered. We may be gone and buried, but we may not.
Oh, and you'll know when you're hitting close to home with an uncomfortable truth, because they'll go nuts.
Like Rush's "Santa Claus" explanation of the election. They HATE that.
But, we can state it loud and plain:
"0bama voters aren't much interested in working hard to get the 'stuff' they want."
Yes - I made the mistake of getting my childrens' hopes up.
Sure kids! You can stay up late and watch our new president get elected! It'll be fun!
I even talked about the good 'ole Reagan recovery and how they'll be lucky enough to see something similar.
And then I felt just awful....I really didn't think the dumba$$es had already outnumbered us.
I knew it would happen eventually - I wasn't expecting it so soon, and with a man who is a proven failure.
So now I'm actually downgrading Christmas - again - just like the last 4 years - just like we will for the next four years.
Looking forward to another recovery summer too.
that is why the sooner we can help crash the system, the sooner we can get on rebuilding it
Well said sir.
Thanks RochesterNYconservative. I wonder if we've met in the past. I carried the Stars and Stripes that led the 2009 Tea Party March down West Main St.
Slaughter's district, even though it was reapportioned, still encompasses City of Rochester liberals and I saw mostly campaign signs for her within city limits and very few "Maggie" signs. Although I voted for Maggie, she carries a lot of baggage due to all the scandals that have occurred under her watch. Despite that, Maggie would have been a good representative for us. Instead, we're stuck with a bitter (there's that word again!) old woman who won't even have live town meetings because she refuses to meet with "those people".
LOL. Guess they do understand a little bit of history.

Hispanic growth not reflected on US Olympic squad
BEIJING -- Hispanics have rapidly emerged as the largest minority group in the United States, comprising 15 percent of the population. But on the U.S. Olympic team assembling in China they are -- for a range of reasons -- strikingly underrepresented.
It's no fault of the Lopez family from Sugar Land, Texas -- three Lopez siblings are on the taekwondo team, coached by their oldest brother. It's no fault of Commerce, Calif., a heavily Hispanic working-class suburb of Los Angeles with a youth aquatics program that has produced two members of the women's water polo team.
Overall, however, an Associated Press review found only about two-dozen Hispanic athletes on the nearly 600-member U.S. team -- roughly 4 percent. By contrast, African-Americans, who make up 13.5 percent of the population, hold more than 120 spots on the team. More than half the 126 U.S. track-and-field athletes are black; only two -- distance runners Leonel Manzano and Jorge Torres -- are Hispanic.
Torres, raised in the Chicago area by Mexican-born parents, says it may take another generation before Hispanic-Americans assume an Olympic role proportionate to their numbers.
"We're still a young culture -- many of us are first-generation Americans," he said. "The priorities for my parents weren't sports -- they were to put bread on the table, to move ahead and become good American citizens."
Torres says he had enough raw talent to attract college scholarship offers. But he contended that many young Hispanic athletes -- in track and other sports -- fall through the cracks despite great promise.
"Outreach programs would make things easier for people less fortunate -- help the kids who have potential to maybe find the road to the next level," he said. "Right now there is no road. It's bushwhacking your way through to the other side -- and most of them get lost."
Fernando Mateo, president of the New York-based advocacy group Hispanics Across America, says economics is a factor.
"Hispanic kids are predominantly from poor families," he said. "The parents don't know their way through the system. A lot of the kids can't get scholarships as easily as African-Americans can."
Mateo would like to see targeted investments by foundations and the U.S. Olympic movement to support talented young Hispanics.
Swimming, unlike track and field, has a scarcity of both blacks and Hispanics in its upper echelons -- the 56-member Olympic swimming and diving squad has one black and no Hispanics. USA Swimming, the sport's governing body, has acknowledged the problem by launching extensive learn-to-swim programs in black and Hispanic communities.
USA Track and Field, for its part, is likely to at least consider targeting outreach programs at Hispanics. USATF's newly installed chief executive is Doug Logan, a former Major League Soccer commissioner who was born in Cuba.
"I need to find out more -- I don't have all the answers," Logan said. "We have to do more to take the fine young athletes that exist among new Americans and find some ways of creating opportunities for them. They are underrepresented."
Logan noted Hispanic-Americans are far from monolithic in their sports interests, with passions ranging from soccer to baseball to boxing. Track and field is generally not high on the list, yet some athletes from elsewhere in Latin America -- notably Cuba -- have been world champions.
Soccer and baseball appeal to many Hispanic-American youth, yet only a couple of Hispanics are on the men's Olympic teams in those sports. Of all the U.S. teams in China, the one with the largest Hispanic contingent -- four -- is the women's softball team.
In parts of Latin America, and in many Hispanic-American families, girls are far less apt than boys to be encouraged to try competitive sports, but that outlook appears to be changing.
In Commerce, home to the remarkable water polo program, the girls' team has been a powerhouse for years, and two of its alumnae -- Brenda Villa and Patty Cardenas -- are on the Olympic squad. Both are first-generation Americans with parents from the same Mexican town.
Villa, the Olympic captain, says she was fortunate to have parents who didn't oppose her interest in sports.
"I did have some classmates that were discouraged by parents to play sports and many were very talented," Villa said in an e-mail. "They would start the season on a sports team and halfway through quit because they couldn't make practice -- they had to baby-sit or run errands for their moms."
She praised the commitment of civic leaders in Commerce, who have promoted an ambitious and varied youth recreation program. Indeed, the industrial city of 12,500 has a third Olympian -- boxer Javier Molina.
"In Commerce, more parents now see that their children can represent the U.S. at the Olympics," Villa said. "The city does a good job of giving their Olympians a lot of recognition, so residents are forced to become familiar with the Olympians and that accessibility gives them hope and encouragement."
More broadly, Villa said it would help if Spanish-language TV networks in the U.S. broadened the focus of their sports programming beyond soccer and a few other favorites.
"The Spanish networks need to do their part in exposing Hispanic athletes in the nontraditional sports, so that parents can see all the options their kids have," Villa said.
In that regard, the Beijing Olympics will be a help. Telemundo, which reaches 93 percent of U.S. Hispanic households, plans to cover a much broader range of sports in these games than it did four years ago in Athens, including gymnastics, swimming and track.
"It's a difficult path," said Jorge Hidalgo, a Telemundo vice president for sports. "We'll give the Hispanic athletes a special focus, but we want to follow the other good stories as well."

DENVER – The Colorado Energy Office was so sloppy with the way it kept track of millions of dollars in stimulus money that it can't prove the spending did any good, according to a harsh audit of the office released Tuesday.
The office, formerly known as the Governor's Energy Office, was responsible for spending $144 million in money Congress sent through the stimulus bill starting in 2009. Money went to clean-energy projects such as home weatherization and loans to start up energy companies. But the office was unprepared to handle such a large amount of money, and its managers did a poor job of monitoring the contracts they signed with private firms to complete the green-energy work.
"CEO ultimately can't demonstrate that it is working cost-effectively or that the work it is doing is valuable," said Vickie Heller, who works for the State Auditor's Office and presented the report Tuesday.
The office didn't keep an annual budget for any of its 34 programs from 2007 to 2012, and when auditors reviewed a sample of 22 of the agency's contracts, they found that 20 of them were missing information that government agencies are required to monitor.
The energy office has found itself at the center of controversy for years. Last year, Gov. John Hickenlooper pushed legislators to expand its mission to promote all forms of energy, not just the clean-energy projects favored by his predecessor, Gov. Bill Ritter.
"To me, over the last four, five, six years, this office appears to be a prime example of arrogance in government, of how government can go wrong," said Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling, a member of the Legislative Audit Committee.
Republicans on the committee blamed Ritter, not Hickenlooper. Both are Democrats.
"Under the Ritter administration, the energy office was the governor's slush fund," said Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction. "The idea that you have eight program managers and none of them could identify a budget or spending, it was apparent that there weren't best practices under the previous administration."
But Democratic Sen. Lucia Guzman of Denver said Hickenlooper is starting his third year, but the office is without a permanent director.
"If I start a job, and I've been on it for two years, it seems to me I should have some outcomes giving me reason to continue to be there," Guzman said.
The hearing had undertones of federal energy scandals. Companies such as Solyndra and Abound Solar went bankrupt after they got hefty loan guarantees from the stimulus bill.
The Colorado Energy Office also operates a $16.4 million revolving-loan program, and the auditors found that over a two-year period, 23 monthly reports were never filed.
However, none of the companies that got Colorado loans have gone out of business, CEO officials said.
Hickenlooper's administration is working to correct the problems by July. His deputy chief of staff, Kevin Patterson, is the office's interim chief.
"Some of these things aren't really pleasant for us to hear, but I think they're important for us to hear," Patterson said.
The office has endured a lot of turnover among its 34 employees.
Seven of the eight program managers have left since Hickenlooper became governor, Patterson said. Some left because they did not want to be part of the new direction Hickenlooper had set for the office.
Stimulus funding for the office is running out, and last year the Legislature voted to revamp the office, make it smaller and set up long-term funding that doesn't rely on heavy federal support.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The two Green River High basketball teams hosted Monument Valley last week and sent the Cougars packing with two lopsided victories. The Lady Pirates first closed out their undefeated region season with an 84-50 win and then the boys kept their region record perfect at 6-0 with an 81-37 win.
The girls, as they have done a lot this season, jumped on their opponent early in the first quarter and then kept the pressure on for the whole game as they won easily. The score after the first quarter was 20-12 for the Pirates and they then outscored the Cougars 25-9 in the second quarter to lead at the half 45-21.
Heidi Vetere led the team in scoring with 34 points. She had 26 of those in the first half as the team was building their lead. Adriana Cordova was next with 15 points. McKenzie Spadafora and Charle Vetere also scored in double figures as they had 12 and 10 points respectively. Brandi Webster scored 5 points, Crosby Hatt and Lindsey Spadafora each scored 3 points and Leah Swalberg scored 2 points.
The Lady Pirates now host Altamont in a non-region game this Tuesday and then await the 1-A state tournament next week in Richfield. The girls are now 17-2 for the season and 8-0 for region play.
The boy's team jumped on the Cougars even faster than the girls did as they led 18-5 after the first quarter and 43-9 at the half. They got up 62-18 at the end of the third period before everybody played and the fourth quarter ended up 19 apiece for the two teams.
Brent Johnson led the team in scoring with 24 points. Kaleb Fail scored 16 points while hitting two 3-point shots and Jace Vetere also ended in double figures with 10 points.
Kaden Robertson scored 9 points and Adrian Lucero scored 6 points. Brennan Bigelow and Wayde Mecham each scored 4 points while Jon Wilske, Weston Vetere, Tyson Johnson and Kayden Mecham each scored 2 points.
This was a game that evidently did not feature a bunch of fouls. Green River was 5 for 8 at the free throw line while the Cougars were 0 for 0 from the line, can that be correct?
Green River now travels to Altamont this Thursday for the only game this week.

The Kindle 3G is the only Kindle available in time for Christmas. The Kindle WiFi is experiencing 3 to 5 day delays, which means it is sold out for Christmas.
Thanks to Peter for the update.
Here's what Amazon's Kindle WiFi page says –
Expected to ship in 3 to 5 days.
Ordering for Christmas? Due to overwhelming customer demand, Kindle (Wi-Fi) is temporarily out of stock. Orders placed today will arrive after December 24th.
Order now to reserve your place in line. Our Kindle 3G for $189 is still available in time for Christmas.
Well, selling out around a week before Christmas isn't terribly bad. It could have been much worse.
It does mean that people looking to buy Kindles will either have to buy the Kindle 3G, or they will have to patiently wait past Christmas to get their Kindle WiFi.
Was Kindle WiFi selling a lot more than Kindle 3G?
It seems plausible that Amazon was either producing more Kindle WiFis than Kindle 3s, or that it was producing equal quantities of both. If either was the case, it would mean Kindle WiFi was selling much faster than Kindle 3.
Given the $139 price of the Kindle WiFi, it shouldn't be a big surprise that it was selling faster, that it sold out before the Kindle 3, and that it sold out a week before Christmas.
It makes Amazon's decision, to limit Kindle sales to the US and UK, seem a smart one – If Kindle WiFi and/or Kindle 3 had sold out at the end of November, that would have meant more Nook WiFi sales and more Nook sales. It does, however, make you wonder why Amazon recently changed its limit on Kindle sales per person from 3 to 5. That must have contributed to the sell-out.
The Kindle 3, in both white and graphite variants, is very much in stock. Amazon states on the page that orders placed today will arrive on or before December 24th. That's definitely your best option if you're looking to buy a Kindle for Christmas.

"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,
but let him who boasts boast about this:
the he understands and knows me,
that I am the Lord who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight, declares the Lord."

Friday Pretties
Things that are speaking to my heart today...
A gift from
Tablecloth, a gift from
A rose and vintage buttons

Zero Calorie Cupcake
The snow is falling softly outside, the winds have finally died down. I'm trying to keep my fingers busy knitting or sewing so I don't nibble at food all day. What is it about snow storms that make us want to bake? I must have had cupcakes on my mind because this little hat was the first of my creations.
My new machine and I have been whipping out log cabin blocks. Before I put the green strips on, they look like Valentine blocks instead of Christmas. I love the cheery gingham!
I have fifty of these to make and I'm pretty sure I will have that done today, that is if I stay out of the kitchen. I've already made the Pioneer Woman's chicken spaghetti and potroast so I wouldn't have to cook for the next couple of days, but goodness me, cupcakes sound delicious!
This is the view from my back porch. We haven't even seen a snow plow yet. The storm is suppose to continue until seven tonight. I can't imagine what that amount of snow will look like, but I'm about to find out!
With joy,

My New Friend
This is the view from my sewing room. Icicles as thick as my arm. The forecast is 10-15 inches of snow tonight. My husband is home sick and there won't be any school tomorrow. Dear Lord have mercy. To keep me from going insane, a friend has come to play...
I could just sit and look at the picture on the box. Maybe I'll hang it on the window to remind me that what's outside won't last forever (
please don't last forever
). I love the illustration on the box and "Keeping the Word Sewing". I have alot of learning to do, me and my new Sapphire, but I can't think of any better way to amuse myself during a blizzard.
I completed a gift for a special little one year old. Don't you love self-striping yarn? You just knit and knit and the pattern unfolds before your eyes. What's the best thing to do during a blizzard? Keep the news turned off and your fingers busy!

"For since the creation of the world
God's invisible qualities-
his eternal power and divine nature-
have been clearly seen,
being understood from what has been made,
so that men are without excuse."

Book Review
While I was enroute to San Diego, I had ample time to read, and read I did. I managed to get three books read and wanted to share my thoughts with you and see if you had read them as well. This first book had great potential, but ended up being a bit to risque for me. I finished it because I make it a point to finish reading a book whether I like it or not.
This one had me on the edge of my seat. Once I got familiar with her style of writing, which includes lots of descriptive words for nature, I was hooked. It had an erie element to it and I was down right spooked at the end.
This book was by far the best book I read on the trip. Though it has some difficult scenes with the characters during World War II, and as horrifying as some of the incidents were, it was a very well written story and one that I didn't want to end.
This book is my current read. "Bittersweet" by Shauna Niequist is a must have for you, your daughters and all the women in your life. It is about change, grace and learning the hard way. How change is to be expected, both good and bad and what we can learn while going through it if we are able to open ourselves up to the process. This one will have me thinking for awhile.
What about you, have you read any good books lately?

Vintage Notions
My friend, Char, gave me this wonderful vintage notions cupboard for my birthday. Each little drawer is filled with tiny treasures. I felt like a child, again, as I would collect little items when I was small.
The long narrow cupboard is hand painted and the drawers are labeled with the words, buttons, thread, snaps, pins, utility and needles.
Some of the tiny gifts included this silver measuring tape. It is much used and I when I hold it in the palm of my hand I feel connected to someone before me who loved to sew as well.
The lovely pincushion, once red and now faded to a perfect pink was a joy to discover. It fits perfectly on the top of the cupboard.
Last year, Char gave me this vintage scissor holder. I love how they compliment each other with the same hand-painted details.
I've placed them on a wall in my sewing room where I can enjoy them daily. They look like they've always belonged in that space, don't you agree?

Mitten Love
I have some very talented friends who make me the most amazing gifts. I want to share with you my mittens that my friend Sally made for me. Sally uses recycled wool sweaters and vintage buttons. They are the softest, warmest mittens I own and perfect for Michigan winters.
These mittens were made using my son's college logo and paw print. I was speechless.
Sally then told me to look inside. The enclosed tag has my son's photo on it. That's when I started crying...thank you, Sally!
I would also like to publically thank Sally
for loaning me a sewing machine over the holidays,
while mine was in the shop,
so that I could
my custom quilt orders.
I will be forever grateful!
God bless our friends,

Sewing Christmas ~ Birthday Giveaway
A warm welcome to our first "Sewing Christmas" post! Here in Michigan it is bitter cold and snowy, just the right weather for working on Christmas presents. This month's project is the "Market Bag" by Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree and Co.
Each November I get out my Christmas-themed bag and carry it around through December. People stop and ask me where I got it. Mine came from a friend, but it got me thinking that I could make a Christmas-themed bag as a gift, bigger than mine, to hold all kinds of things during the holidays.
I have a ton of Christmas and novelty fabric and it's such a great way to reduce my stash! This bag uses 24, 5" squares. You don't have to use Christmas fabrics, the possibilities are endless!
This market bag is one of the simplest I've made. There is a dart in the front and back and the bottom corners are rounded to add interest. Buttons could be added for decoration and I thought a fabric flower would be pretty on a spring-themed bag.
The pattern is found in the 2009 issue of Better Homes and Gardens "Bags, Pillows & Pincushions." If you don't have this issue, any simple bag pattern would work.
Another pattern that is fabulous is "The Easiest Handbags Ever" and can be purchased through Fig Tree Quilts
You can make the same kind of bag and a few other ones as well.
Let's have some fun!
Sign up using the linky below and share your own gift idea,
it doesn't have to be a sewn item, it can be any crafty idea you'd like to share!
don't forget to sign up for my
Birthday Giveaway
which is going on until this Friday!

The Globe
Camp Lejeune, NC | July 19, 2012
Service members understand putting their personal safety at risk comes with the job description, but for military children, the idea of a parent in harm's way is a heavy burden.
When warriors return home injured, whether physically or mentally, the weight on a child can be crushing.
The offer of a helping hand, however, can not only lift a spirit but also save a life.
Parents, siblings and friends gathered to welcome home more than 100 students from the Semper Fi Fund Kids Camp and Mentor Program at Lejeune High School aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Saturday.
"There were a lot more (people) interested this year," said Jennifer Babineaux, a member of the Semper Fi Fund. "We doubled in size, and I only see it getting bigger in the future."
Finishing up its second year of success, the program was designed to pair rising high school juniors and seniors with the children of injured service members in an environment where a mentoring relationship could be fostered through adventures and team building activities. All mentors are also children of active-duty service members.
Breena McCarthy signed on to be a mentor in the hopes of learning valuable leadership skills but soon realized there was much more to the program.
"It's good to be with people who have gone through the same things as you," she explained. "It's a life changing experience."
The camp, located on Outdoor Odyssey's 500-acre Laurel Highland camp in Pennsylvania, was founded by retired Maj. Gen. T.S. Jones. After getting into trouble as a teen, Jones' life was changed when someone invested the time to mentor him and teach him the importance of genuinely caring about not only himself but others.
"(It's) what you all need to have," Jones told the mentors, who spent three days in leadership training before the campers arrived. "You may be able to fool your parents or your teachers, but you can never fool a young child, especially not one who is looking up to you to mentor them. Those are the two most important words – genuine concern."
During the three-day training, mentors learned to work together to overcome physical and mental obstacles. They scaled walls, conquered a high ropes course with only wires 30 feet above ground to walk on and crawled into the belly of the earth at Bear's Cave. The cave was so dark at some points the teens couldn't even see their hands in front of their faces.
The intense Leadership Reaction Course proved to be extremely useful in creating a trusting team environment and preparing the mentors for their campers.
"It's amazing the things you can bond through," marveled Kayla Watson, a mentor. "Even when you don't want to keep going, you do because people are counting on you."
When the campers arrived, it didn't take long for friendships to form, and soon kids were sharing their struggles of military life with their older counterparts.
Babineaux's son, Cody, returned for a second year of mentoring after realizing the importance of his role as someone who has already experienced what many of the campers are going through.
"I was fortunate enough when my dad deployed nothing bad happened," he said. "Unfortunately, a lot of kids aren't that (lucky). I wanted to give kids someone to talk to. I want to be there for them."
The Semper Fi Fund worked together with the Wounded Warrior Battalion to identify and invite children to the week-long camp.
"All the work gets done on the back of the volunteers," stated Col. Timothy Mundy, 2nd Marine Division. "The injury to the Marine affects the entire family. (Through this) the kids have someone to talk to because the camp is just a start to the relationship."
Mundy's daughter, Sloan, took charge of updating the camp blog and uploading pictures for parents back home to see.
As a former mentor, she challenged her peers and their campers to maintain the relationships they built in the seclusion of the Pennsylvania mountains.
"A big family was born this week," she addressed the group at the reunion. "Mentors and campers should stay in touch. The goal is to create a lifetime bond."
No one knows what the future will bring, but one thing remains true no matter what comes – life is better with people by your side.

Sign in for member information and resources.
The National Education Association (NEA) is asking you to join them in the All in for Citizenship March and Rally on April 10 in Washington, DC.
The event will reassert the mandate from the election for Congress to act urgently to fix our nation's broken immigration system. For too long, our communities have suffered under a defective and outdated immigration system that stifles our economic growth, makes political scapegoats out of immigrants, and tears families apart. As educators, we have witnessed for far too long the impact that the current immigration system has had on our students, their families, and our communities.
NEA is working in conjunction with the Alliance for Citizenship which includes other major unions, most notably SEIU, as well as a variety of other organizations.
NEA has also launched a national contest in conjunction with the march. The contest calls on educators and DREAMers to share their story about why they are inspired to stand up for comprehensive immigration reform. Two individuals – a DREAMer and an educator - with compelling stories will be chosen by the NEA to fly to Washington, D.C. to participate in the march. Read the Contest Rules.
Please encourage anyone who is interested in participating in the April 10 event to go to Education Votes for information on the march and to sign-up.

Bio and Links
Hometown of Hammond, Indiana, near Chicago. I now live in Boise, Idaho. I've worked full time in EMS as a paramedic and instructor since 1978. Since July, 2015 I've also worked part time for Cloverdale Funeral home in Boise, ID. My EMS work has included an EMS provider, manager, educator, and in communications. I've been photographing cemeteries and grave sites since 1999. I have developed a presentation on the art and symbolism of gravestones and cemeteries which I give through the city's Community Education system and at genealogy/ family history conferences, and to various historical groups. I also give historical tours of cemeteries in Boise and am a tour guide at the Old Idaho State Penitentiary.
Requests to add obituaries to entries will have them edited to meet F.A.G. guidelines, mentioning no living relatives. If you send me edits to my entries. PLEASE have positive proof before submitting them. I've had way too many edits that turn out to be incorrect. Be sure of your information first, please.
If requesting a transfer I will gladly do so if you are immediate family (parents, children, grandchildren). PLEASE PROVIDE THE Findagrave ENTRY NUMBER, not just the name. (Do you realize how many James Smiths there are?) and YOUR F.A.G. member number as well. If you wish to use one of my photos, please ask and I'll send it to you in it's original (larger) resolution.
I'm always available to photograph graves in the Boise/Ada County, Idaho and surrounding areas. My ISP doesn't send me photo requests for some reason, but feel free to e-mail me directly if you have any requests.

I thought this may be of interest to you since you documented most of these graves. This is a shame and disgrace. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/columnists/greater-houston/article/I-thought-they-were-sacrosanct-Families-10799774.php?t=e959b9049b#photo-12052201

Bill Baltzor
Thanks, Davidfor finding Bill. I can now attach him to the family. Do you remember the Big Band era? I am now putting a shirt-tail relative on Find A Grave--Ray McKinley rather Raymond Frederick McKinley who was rather prominent during that period. I thought someone else would do it but I guess no one will.
I think I now have completed all the Morris Hill transfers. Thanks again. Wilda

RE: Transfers
yES, YOU CAN DO ME A BIG FAVOR- I've LOST A COUSIN, WILLIAM ELDON BALTZOR. I THINK HE DIED ABOUT A Year or TWO AGO AND I MISSED HIS OBIT. ONE OF HIS SONS DIED BEFORE HIM AND I THINK HE WAS BURIED AT CLOVERDALE. BILL MAY BE BURIED THERE. I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE HIS OBIT EITHER (THE SON'S, I MEAN)CAN'T REMEMBER THE SONS FIRST NAME,BUT THERE CAN'T BE TOO MANY BALTZORS AROUND
Thanks, Wilda
