église AB Lausanne ; KJV Leviticus 3 And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the LORD be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the LORD. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.

église AB Lausanne ; KJV Ezekiel 45 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about. Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof. And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place. The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary. And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers. And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel. And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border. In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD. Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. I ...
Description: The final 9 chapters of the prophecy of Ezekiel are thought to be concerned with the design of a future Temple in the Kingdom Age. The design is illustrated in these four videos based on the book by Bro Henry Sulley. The inclusion of animal sacrifices is believed to be for the purpose of remembering the history of the forgiveness of sin, which could only be achieved by the willing sacrifice of the sinless Son of God. #Christadelphianvideo #christadelphianstalk #Christadelphians #openbible #cdvideo #bibleverse #thoughts #thoughtoftheday #meditate #think #christadelphian #God #truth #faith #hope #love #Gospeltruth #truebibleteaching #thegospelmessage #thegospeltruth #firstprinciples #bibletruth #bibleunderstanding #exploringthebible #thoughtfortheday #discoverthebible #gospelonline
The Daily Fill Devotional is an audio podcast from Emmanuel Faith Community Church of Escondido, CA, based on the weekly written devotionals under the same title, also published on www.efcc.org. These devotionals follow the current teaching sermon series at Emmanuel Faith, and allow you to go deeper with God's Word each week. We hope you will enjoy these audio devotionals.
In this presentation, Frances Harry, OCDS, speculates on what it looks like when God is our sanctity, especially as seen in the life and words of St. Therese of Lisieux. It follows from part one of the same title which discussed this phrase which was used in St. Therese's famous prayer, “Act of Oblation to Merciful Love.” Through the example of St. Therese, we too, can imitate her and pray this prayer with all confidence. Resources: “Story of A Soul, Study Edition” by St. Therese of Lisieux, prepared by Marc Foley, OCD; ICS Publications. “Something New with Saint Therese: Her Eucharistic Miracle” by Suzie Andres, OCDS; Little Way Books. “Lessons from Saint Therese: The Wisdom of God's Little Flower” by John Paul Thomas; www.mycatholic.life Excerpt from St. Therese of Lisieux's “Act of Oblation to Merciful Love” “O My God! Most Blessed Trinity, I desire to Love You and make You Loved, to work for the glory of Holy Church by saving souls on earth and liberating those suffering in purgatory. I desire to accomplish Your will perfectly and to reach the degree of glory You have prepared for me in Your Kingdom. I desire, in a word, to be a saint, but I feel my helplessness and I beg You, O my God! to be Yourself my Sanctity!”
Frances Harry, OCDS, discusses, “God, Be Yourself My Sanctity," a phrase used by St. Therese of Lisieux in her famous prayer, “The Act of Oblation to Merciful Love,” found in her book, “Story of a Soul.” What does St. Therese really mean in this part of her prayer? Is it possible? And is it possible for us? Frances Harry, OCDS, helps us work through these questions and more. She was particularly delighted when a kindred spirit decided to write a book about this. It is called: “Something New with Saint Therese: Her Eucharistic Miracle” by Suzie Andres, OCDS. This highly recommended book will really help you understand what St. Therese meant in this part of her prayer. Dive in! You'll be glad you did. There are spiritual challenges here that will help each of us to grow in prayer and in union with God.

I get fatigued easier and a lot of hot flushes. For me. I have loss of periods and can affect my moods. I guess and definitely my sleeping patterns have gotten worse. Not much sleep. And I'm 33.”“Yes every month when my hormones fluctuate I have a flare just before or while I am on my period. I want to chat to my doctor about options, but I don't know if a hysterectomy or I think it's called a Oblation? Would even help. Would love to know if they would.”“My symptoms are worse during my period but I also am a lot more tired during that time and tiredness seems to be my main exacerbated”“I'm actually slated for a hysterectomy to help with this. My cycle has always been awful but my FND occurred shortly after going through a few rounds of IVF. Hormones are definitely linked.”“@thefndpodcast great topic! It's actually more complex than just hormones, due to the relationship and influences of these chemicals in our emotions mental processes and our bodies physiology. Hormones can also be influences by our environment and our genetics. I would be happy to discuss this in detail during our next community conversation or in your podcast: MD Functional Disorder healing ally”“This is a great post and interestingly I had this conversation in rehab. I went into surgical menopause5 years ago. Since I've had FND it's been hard to figure out if the increase in “hot flashes” is hormone related. I only need oestrogen and after speaking with Gina Team it was suggested my HRT be increased. I've had the increase for a few weeks now and have noticed a difference. However, I have also had new medications started for some of my FND symptoms. I would suggest if someone isn't sure to get a blood test done to check hormone levels - be interesting to see the outcome”“My FND symptoms increase 2-3 days before auntie flow visits. My fatigue is the worst. Usually the day is a bit of a write off. Just can't concentrate on anything”“Since really young I've always had a drop attack (and seizures when older and experiencing more FNDy things) around my periods. I knew it wasn't always just because of the pain ( From good ol Ends). I was in but the change in hormones affecting my nervous system. Makes total sense and I'm really looking forward to this discussion.” “I was just talking to a fellow FNDer about how bad my symptoms were the other day. The worst side I went in for treatment in May. I go my period later that day. Usually I have a huge increase in fatigue as well so that usually tips me off but this time I didn't notice the fatigue as much” “Feel like I've been hit by a bus every period these past few months, they were bad enough before but I feel like exhausted with them now” “I unfortunately have a flare up every month. It usually starts around 3-5 days before my period begins and can sometimes last up to a week from then to calm down. It is very difficult to cope with it happening every month. If anyone has any suggestions to help, that would be great! I have considered an implant but haven't found enough information to know how helpful it would be. “ “I have the implant in. I'll be honest I never put two and two together. But now I have the implant in my periods are a hit and miss. i've not had one since June when I had it put in but maybe this is something I can track and let you guys know” “I've noticed a massive difference when I”m due my monthly all my symptoms are so much worse. I wasn't like talking about this yesterday it's like everything spikes x”

This time, Lyra went to Lord Asriel's pretty lovely ‘prison'…Roger gets freaked out by Lord Asriel's wolfish ‘welcome' of the two of them and Lyra has an awkward reunion with her dad, including finally confronting him about why he's lied about his relationship to her. Lord Asriel mostly ignores this (rude) and instead decides to sit down with Lyra in his swag library and tell her a few stories about Dust, the Magisterium and the Oblation board…Join us this week, as we disagree about subtext, get very jealous of Asriel's interior design skills and geek-out over zombie-lore.------You can see a full version of Amy's artwork for our episodes and our quotes for the week here.As we're nearing the end of the book, if you have questions for us about Northern Lights or about the Golden Compass film, we'd love to hear from you!

Welcome back to Meta Station! Sadly for you, several of our BEST jokes this week happened before we started recording, and we apologize to our longtime fans for depriving them of the newest installment of our ongoing “vases vs. botulism” debate. (You had to be there.) Fortunately, this still ended up being one of our favorite conversations, because there is SO! MUCH! TO SAY! about Mrs. Coulter: from using femininity as a weapon to wield power over men, to the complicated relationship between women and anger, to why it matters that her (male) daemon has been silenced. We also talked Magisterium theology, Boreal’s dimension-hopping, and how relieved we are that our pure sons Roger and Billy finally found each other. P.S. Rather predictably, we have already completely abandoned any attempt to remain spoiler-free for people who haven’t read the books, for reasons that will become very clear in the Mrs. Coulter section. If you are aggressively trying to avoid any plot details from the books, you might want to bookmark this one and come back to it after the end of the season. -------------------------------------------------- 0:00 – Lyra and the Apartment: Art Deco Design Porn, Abuse Dynamics, and Gilded Cages 0:10 – The Interior Life of Marisa Coulter: Weaponized Femininity, Suppressed Emotions, a Daemon That Doesn’t Speak, AND A COUPLE OF REALLY BIG SPOILERS 1:01 – Mrs. Coulter: Severing Ties, Emotionally and Literally 1:11 – Boreal, Other Worlds, and Novel Versus TV Plot Pacing 1:24 – Fighting for Ideas . . . of North, and Other Things 1:31 – Claire's Catholicism Corner: What Does "Oblation" Mean? And What Does It Tell Us About Mrs. Coulter? 1:42 - The Magisterium's Cold-Blooded Daemons 1:47 - The Most On-Brand Moment Ever: Claire Ships All the Parents NOTE: We apologize for some very mild sound issues on this one; Claire’s computer, like herself, has a very flexible relationship with the concept of Time, and froze up for a second before reviving so the whole middle of one sentence just disappeared, which is mostly upsetting because it was MILF flailing and we know that’s important to you guys. Also, Erin’s sound recording software was picking up the computer mic instead of her podcasting mic, so there are handful of places where she cuts out for a split-second as well. We edited around it as best we could, but hopefully it won’t be too distracting.
Finally, the end of the first book, here at the end of the world... this world... and perhaps the beginning of a next. But what will it take to bridge the gap? Sacrifice. Oblation.

Our Faith: Church Architecture and the Movement of the Faithful Opening Scripture: Psalm 29:1-2; Exodus 24:9-18; John 12: 3-8 Summary of Scripture: The Glory, Power, and Love of God. Today’s Lesson: Beauty will Save the World Questions for consideration: What purpose do architecture, icons, vestments, and music serve? What is it about beauty that is salvific? Why did Dostoevsky say that it would “Save the world”? The emissaries from Kyiv’s reaction to worship in Constantinople’s St. Sophia? Basic Orthodox Architecture The Temple is Sacred Space. Think of Moses and the burning bush. The Arc of the Covenant. The Holy of Holies of the Temple in Jerusalem. It is set aside. [We are also temples, but this is meant to elevate us… NOT to degrade the physical temple!]. So nice to have an Orthodox Temple that was designed as such! Basic Orthodox Architecture (the Arc of Salvation) Narthex: vestibule. Transition space from the world to heaven on earth. Nave: the central portion where the faithful worship. Contains pews, tetrapod, place for confession, kliros, candle boxes. Altar/Sanctuary: Eastern-most section. Holy of Holies. Altar Table with Tabernacle and Gospel Book are central. Also includes the Table of Oblation. Iconostasis: Divides and unifies the altar/sanctuary and nave. Symbolizes unity of the faithful through Christ. Holy Doors in middle represent “Gates of Paradise”. Note that Christ comes out to us (not the other way around). Deacon doors on side are most commonly used doors. Specific icons in various places. Domes vs. Steeples. Icons, Frescos, and Stained Glass Our icons/frescoes include: Iconostas: Christ the Savior, Christ with the Theotokos; St. John the Baptist, St. Raphael of Brooklyn; Archangel Michael, Archangel Gabriel; Icon of the Entrance (changes); Festal icons; icons of patrons Our stained glass include: feasts, mysteries. Vestments for Servers and Holy Things Common day things/people become icons of something better. Colors have theological significance. The Movement of the Faithful How does our behavior change when we walk in (i.e. what do/don’t we do here that we don’t/do there) The Music of Orthodoxy How is our music different from our music out there? How is the talking different? Discussion: The role of beauty in our lives. Do we really need all this stuff? Next time (11/23 and 11/30): Nativity (Incarnation) Prophecies
St. Therese’s famous prayer, “The Act of Oblation to Merciful Love” is rich with spiritual concepts for us to ponder, especially the recognition of our poverty and weakness, yet pulsating desire to console Jesus in every way. Knowing souls were rejecting His love, St. Therese offers herself as a victim of his merciful love so that the love others souls rejected would come to her. She vehemently desires to be a saint but is not the great eagle that they are…so she implores God Himself to be her sanctity!! She displays her great confidence in God’s transforming fire of love. How may we imitate her? How may we make her prayer our own? This program carefully considers the duties of a victim of love, the obstacles to be overcome, the soul’s attitude toward suffering, and in what a “death of love” involves. Let us remember that St. Therese prayed for a “legion of little victims worthy of His love” to be raised up. Are you willing to be one?
If you read St. Therese's Act of Oblation to Merciful Love, you will no doubt discover some terminology that might sound a little harsh to the modern ear. Terms like victim, holocaust, and martyr are not words that are cast about lightheartedly these days. But in order to fully appreciate St. Therese's use of these terms in her personal prayer to Jesus Christ, we must also understand what St. Therese is sacrificing or, to use a more familiar term, consecrating herself to. Therese understands that what God wishes to do in her soul, and indeed in each of our souls, is to both ignite the internal fire of love that will consume everything that is inconsistent with His Love, while, at the same time, God wishes to consume the very soul that is burning with this interior love for Him. This is not possible, Therese well knows, unless she make the ultimate sacrifice of herself to God, to His merciful love. In this program, Mark goes through each of these terms, and others, and he describes the context in which St. Therese is using them. He also explains how each of these terms is a perfectly appropriate description of the very action of the Holy Spirit within the soul. He then goes on to explain both some of the cautions related to a soul's adoption of the mindset of oblation to God, and he also describes the remarkable benefits that can accrue from a soul making and living such a sacrifice. Finally, Mark goes on to explain the remarkable benefit such a committed soul can have on the Church as a whole. This is a very valuable presentation for anyone who desire to gain a deeper understanding of just what the Lord is inviting each of us to, what is required of us to respond, and what eternal benefits are available for ourselves and the Church, if we only respond with great fidelity.
THE DAILY ARTICLE FOR SEPTEMBER 4, 2019 Thousands of experts are trying to predict Hurricane Dorian's path. Today's podcast shows us how to trust what we do not understand to the God who does. ABOUT THE DENISON FORUM The Daily Article is a daily biblical commentary on the news of the day by Dr. Jim Denison. If you would like to learn more about the Denison Forum, please visit DenisonForum.org. You can always email us at comments@denisonforum.org.
If you are looking for a deeper understanding of the nature of the Lord's call to all baptized souls, and you want to discover the depth of commitment and devotion to which a soul can be carried, then you will want to listen to this series. Mark and Frances present here a Catechism on St. Therese of Lisieux's Act of Oblation to Merciful Love. It is the Saint's formal written expression and promise of abandonment to Jesus Christ. The conversation begins by laying the groundwork for the benefits St. Therese received by drafting and continually praying this Act of Oblation. It then presents the significant events, over the course of about five years, that led up to Therese's decision to put into words what she was experiencing in her heart. The Act itself is filled with the language and sentiments that St. Therese wanted to communicate in what is essentially her Love Letter to the Lord. Having read the entire Act, Mark and Frances then begin to analyze some of the more challenging terms for the modern ear. They explore and explain phrases like victim, oblation, holocaust and even martyrdom. These are striking terms to be found in a love letter, but what soon becomes clear, as one reads and prays St. Therese's document, is that her Act is less an offering and more an acceptance of what she understands the Lord wishes to offer her, which is nothing other than His complete self. It is her acceptance of the Lord's offer of merciful love that allows the Lord to complete His work in this well-known Saint. St. Therese's Act is also an invitation to each one of us, not to simply adopt her words, but rather, and more importantly, to open ourselves to the transforming work of sanctification that the Lord wishes to complete in all of us. If you want to truly understand the language of love, then this is a wonderful series for you.
