nice story from recollection
I just went for recollection today. Then in a meditation there, Father told us this story, which I thought was very nice :) So, here it is..
A long time ago in China , a girl named Li-Li got married & went to live with her husband and mother-in-law. In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all.
Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly.
Days passed, and weeks passed. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting.
But what made the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish. All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing Li-Li's poor husband! d great distress.
Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-! law's bad temper and dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it! Li-Li went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs.
She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could solve the problem once and for all.
Mr. Huang thought for awhile, and finally said, "Li-Li, I will help you solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell you."
Li-Li said, "Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to do."Mr. Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few minutes with a package of herbs. He told Li-Li, "You can't use a quick-acting poison to get rid of your mother-in-law, because that would cause people to become suspicious Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly build up poison in her body. Every other day prepare some delicious meal and put a little of these herbs in her serving.
Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspect you, when she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her. "Don't argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen." Li-Li was so happy.
She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law.
Weeks went by, and months went by, and every other day, Li-Li served the specially treated food to her mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr. Huang had said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper!r, obeyed her mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother.
After six months had passed, the whole household had changed. Li-Li had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she almost never got mad or upset. She hadn't had an argument with her mother-in-law in six months because she now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with.
The mother-in-law's attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to love Li-Li like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the best daughter-in-law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were now treating each other like a real mother and daughter.
Li-Li's husband was very happy to see what was happening. One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again She said, "Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing my mother-in-law. She's changed into such a nice woman, and I love her like my own mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison I gave her."
Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. "Li-Li, there's nothing to worry about. I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave you were vitamins to improve her health. The only poison was in your mind and your attitude toward her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her."

Keep it up!!!!!
I was so surprised and delighted to receive this mail today. Keep blogging guys!! And keep Sister Frances in your prayers!
Please pray for us here in California! We are facing the battle of our lives in this upcoming election. Proposition 8 is a ballot measure to protect marriage as God designed it. However, the homosexual activists are very successful and have many more millions of dollars for their campaign than we do. Even Hollywood stars have given money. Please ask your Legionaries to say many prayers and masses for us who are fighting to keep marriage between one man and one woman. Our website is www.catholicsforprotectmarriage.com . I am a volunteer in this campaign and was looking up the history of Our Lady of the Rosay when I came across your blogsite.
Its funny, but, I typed in "austria, turks, eucharist, horses" and your site came up. Must be God's hand. I've been searching in vain online to find the story of a eucharistic miracle that occurred in that same time period. The Turks were on horseback and invaded Austria. They were charging up a steep hill. Atop the hill was a monastery. The frightened priest grabbed the Eucharist and held it high in front of the charging Turkish cavalry. The horses stopped dead in their tracks and would not move. The Turks had to turn around and flee. The priest and his monastery were saved miraculously. I heard this story recently on the local CAtholic radio station here: Immaculate Heart Radio 1260AM, KSFB (stands for K San Francisco Bay).
God bless you for your site. Please thank Eunice for her Lepanto citation. Also thank Maryana (Nana) for her wonderful Prince of Egypt video clip. It was the message Our Lady wished for me to hear: that with prayer and faith miracles really do happen. I have been so discouraged over the battle of Prop 8 that I needed to be reminded by that video's message. I can't thank you enough. All of you.
I look forward to hearing back from you soon!
In Christ and Mary's Victory,
Frances in San Francisco, California, USA
Hi Brother Dominic and Sister Carina,
I happened upon your blogsite by providence and am curious as to where you are located, i.e., what country?
Its so exciting to see what you all are doing with both the Legion and Technology! My compliments.
My mom is a big Legionary here in SF, CA. She's from Ireland and knew Alphie Lamb and Frank Duff (or she met them). She's been a Legionary since the 1950s and now works here in the USA.

I'm glad I was staying up so late that I was guided by Our Lady of the Rosary to you site.

Birds
Nothing theological. Just a glimpse at the beauty of God's creation. And it's a very refreshing break from reading :p
"But ask the animals, and they will teach you; or birds of the air and they will tell you; or speak to the earth and it will teach you; or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this. In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. "
Job 12:7-10
