DesertBedrock: Memorial Of The Blessed Virgin Mary On Saturday + The Lord Is With Thee

Welcome Everyone... Bringing you Desert Faith @ DesertBedrock.com Lets begin, as we begin all things holy: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

In the Temple at Jerusalem, which was outwardly of a dazzling whiteness, and inwardly overlaid with gold, God was continually present in a luminous cloud.

Of old such forms of greeting were customary; Saul made use of similar words when dismissing David before his contest with Goliath (1 Kings 14:37); David when dying, addressed Solomon in the same manner; and Tobias did the same when his son was starting on his journey (Tob 5:21)."

In the name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY SPIRIT. Amen. In nomine PATRIS, et FILII, et SPIRITUS SANCTI. Amen.
