The seven practices of charity toward our neighbor, based on Christ’s prophecy of the Last Judgment, that will determine each person’s final destiny:\n\nFeed the hungry \nGive drink to the thirsty \nClothe the naked \nShelter the homeless \nVisit the sick \nVisit those in prison \nBury the dead \n\nMt 25:34 “Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ’Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ’Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink?’ And the king will answer them, ’Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren, you did it to me.’”\n\nThe corporal works of mercy are oriented toward the body.

this paragraph is actually part of a prayer called "shema" in judaism. it is one of the holliest prayers. it is supposed to be the first thing you say in the morning and the last thing you say at night. \n\nthe words are things like the ten commandments and the torah. when it says tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads the torah is talking about something called tefillin, little boxes that have texts in them. they are tied with a leather strap, and are worn while praying. the texts are several passages from the torah. one of them being the text you have above. \n\nas for Write them on the doorframes of your houses it is much the same principal. these are called mezzuzot. inside they have a copy of the "shema"\n\nhope this helps,\nsry i couldn't remember more.

There are certainly numerical correalations apparent in scripture. There are also 12 main commandments - Mosaical 10, plus the 2 that Christ gave. There are 12 numbers including the number 12 that have specific prophetic symbology. I have more on this study but no time to type it here..if you are really interested email me and I'll send what I have. Love in Christ, ~J~  <><

I haven't read it.  I have heard it's very good though.  It's by C.S. Lewis and is a parody-like book about a demon named Screwtape who writes to his cousin Wormwood about how to tempt Christians.  It's a pretty creative way of writing about temptations Christians have and I've always been interested in reading it since I first heard about it.\n\nFor a good synopsis of the book you can go to the book's website page on what it's about here:\n\nhttp://www.biblestudyinfo.com/screwtape/synopsis.shtml

The origin of the ancient ecclesiastic music, with character of monody, sung in the liturgy of the Roman Rite under the name of Gregorian Chant, goes back to a distant past. The traditional name stems from that of the Pope Gregory the Great (about the year 600). Gregory I was a Doctor of the Church. He studied laws and about the year 570 he obtained the charge of prefects urbis. He moved back later to his own house which turned into a monastery. In the year 578 he was ordained as a priest and in 590 he was elected as a Pope; it had to face to a great crisis for Justiniano's restoration had failed. He was the first pontiff who with his pastoral review and his reform exposed himself to the Germanic world. Due to an information contributed by his biographer it was admitted later and in a widespread way that this Pope not only had polished and arranged the musical repertoire of the ancient ecclesiastic music, but even he was the author, partly well or completely, of numerous melodies. These were his works: pastorals, Regula pastoralis; hagiographical, Libri quattuor dialogorum; and homiletics, Homiliae 22 in Ezech, and Homiliae 40 in Evang. In his iconography he is represented frecuently writing under the dictation and inspiration of the Holy Spirit which appears symbolically in the shape of pigeon placed next to his ear.\n\nNevertheless, the Gregorian Chant that currently can be compiled in several volumes and forming the quite unitary one is not a work of only one man nor even of only one generation. The knowledge that we possess of the history and of the origin of the ecclesiastic melodies is far from being deep, since scarcely there are some few manuscripts previous to the 10th century that have come up to us. Fortunately, the compared study of the old texts and of the liturgical forms has thrown new light on this topic. The graduals and the current antiphons contain all the chants corresponding to the ecclesiastic year, but the order in which they are presented to us does not indicate of what periods the different melodies proceed neither to what changes they have been submitted and how they have taken place in the course of the centuries.\n\nThe christianity never broke with the cultural forms that already existed in the moment of his appearance. What it did was to recapture them and, only in case of need, to adapt them for his own employment. The language and the art of the cultural medium was placed to the service of the spread of the new religious message. Thus, the first Christians used, undoubtedly, the melodies that previously they knew.\n\nIn Jerusalem and his surroundings, the zone where the first organized Christians arose, there existed two cultures, one next to other, and also intermingled: the purely Jewish traditional culture that had expression in the temple and in the services of the synagogues and the culture of the Hellenistic civilization that had arisen in the last centuries before Jesus Christ and that was spreading over the countries of the basin of the Mediterranean (from Alexandria in Egypt, up to Rome). This culture created a common language, the so called Hellenistic Greek , and in her there were fused some other own cultures of different peoples that were part of this so wide and varied world. The liturgy of Rome —that was celebrated, at first, in Greek language and from the IVth century already in Latin—, was using words of Hebrew origin proceeding from the epoch previous to Christ, as "Hosanna", "Hallelujah", "Amen ", and also Greek words like "Kyrie eleison" and "Agios o Theos".\n\nThe primitive music comes essentially from the Jewish synagogues. We have no information about the ancient Hellenistic music to be able to state his traces or his influence on the Christian music. In the Christian liturgy we can detect, on the contrary, the clear influence of the Jewish liturgy, like for example, the prayer that is intoned when the lamp is ignit

gaaaah. Clarity is needed!!!!   Serenity Prayer is NOT from the bible.  Brief history:  Reinhold Neibuhr wrote the long version of the Serenity Prayer--but later got shortened.  It was also theorized that Neibuhr credited a 18th CE theologican Fredrich Oetinger for writing the Prayer.  ANother possible origin of the prayer might have come from a book "Between Dawn & Dark" (1957) by Fredrick Ward Kates that went like this:\n\nAlmighty God, our heavenly father, give us serenity to accept what cannot be changed, courage to change what should be changed, and wisdom to know the one from the other.\n\nThe LONG version that Neibuhr wrote went like this.  It was used for A.A. mostly.\n\nGod, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.\n\nLiving one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time,\naccepting hardship as the pathway to peace.\n\nTaking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.\nTrusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to his Will.\nThat I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.\nAmen.
