Pope Francis confers sainthood on two Palestinians Posted: 17 May 2015 11:53 AM PDT
Today, May 17th, in a canonization laden with significance both religious and political, Pope Francis declared Marie Alphonsine Ghattas and Mariam Baouardy the first two Palestinian saints of modern times. About 2,000 Palestinians gathered in the Vatican's St. Peter's Square to sing and pray and celebrate their saints. There, they heard the Pope pay tribute to the way in which the two new saints experienced the love of God. He said: Sister Mariam Baouardy experienced this in an outstanding way. Poor and uneducated, she was able to counsel others and provide theological explanations with extreme clarity, the fruit of her constant converse with the Holy Spirit. Her docility to the Spirit also made her a means of encounter and fellowship with the Muslim world," "So, too, Sister Marie Alphonsine Danil Ghattas came to understand clearly what it means to radiate the love of God ... and to be a witness to meekness and unity. She shows us the importance of becoming responsible for one another, of living lives of service one to another," he said. Ghattas was born in Jerusalem in the 1840s to a devout Christian family. She became a nun, dedicating herself to a life of quiet servitude. In Bethlehem, she said she began to receive visions of the Virgin Mary telling her to start a new congregation for Arab girls, called Sisters of the Rosary. Ghattas' hard work and her profound devotion led to the founding of the Rosary Sisters Convent. It was Ghattas' home, which she donated to the convent to spread education and culture to those in need. While Baouardy was born in Ibillin, a small village in Galilee, also in the 1840s. She was the 13th child in her family, and the only one to survive past infancy. Her parents died when she was 3 years old, and her uncle raised her. In Alexandria, Egypt, one of her uncle's servants told her to convert to Islam. When she refused, the servant slit her throat. It was then that Baouardy's miracle began. "Mariam became a martyr, and she went to heaven," said Sister Fireal of the Carmelite Monastery in Bethlehem. "She saw the crown of grace, saw her mother and father. But she heard a voice saying that your life is not yet over and you should return to Earth." According to Baouardy's account, a young nun dressed in blue healed her, cared for her, and led her to the church. It was, she believed, the Virgin Mary. Baouardy led a life of service to the poor and to the church. | ||

Rumour has it...that Kylie Jenner and Tyga may be engaged... Posted: 17 May 2015 05:32 AM PDT The girl who can't wait to be a woman. Probably not true but according to new reports, Kylie Jenner is said to waiting to turn 18 in August to announce plans to marry boyfriend, Tyga From Radaronline Rapper Tyga, 25 and his 17-year-old neighbor, Kylie Jenner, who have only recently admitted to being a couple, are taking their relationship to a whole new level, according to a new report - engagement! "Kylie accepted Tyga's proposal a few weeks ago and made the announcement to her family," an insider told In Touch magazine. "She wants to get married as soon as she turns 18 in August." The source claimed that Kylie "can't wait' to get married to Tyga, who has already proven his dedication to the teenage reality star by tattooing her name on his arm. "She told her friends that Tyga gave her a 'symbolic ring' for now and she isn't showing anyone until her birthday, when she'll make an official announcement… They're tired of hiding," the source said. Tyga, who has fathered a child with Blac Chyna, is currently involved in a bitter custody battle over their child, King Cairo. Marrying Tyga would make Jenner King's step mother, a role that some may feel, she is not ready to assume. "She's been exposed to more diverse experiences in a shorter period of time than other people, yet her brain is still adolescent," an expert said. Tyga may provide a source of comfort amidst all of the chaos in Kylie's life, however, including the recent revelation that her father, Bruce, will be transitioning into being a woman. "This would be a stressful situation for any child at any age," said the expert. "Many teens imagine that a relationship can be an anchor."Do you guys think they are already having sex? | ||

Posted: 17 May 2015 04:37 AM PDT New Zealand student Harman Singh, 22, broke strict religious protocol by taking off his turban to help save the life of a child hit by a car. He has been heralded as a hero. Singh removed his turban to help cradle the bleeding head of a five-year-old boy who had been hit by a car on his way to school. Mr Singh heard the accident take place outside his home, before running outside to investigate. He broke strict Sikh protocol by removing his turban. Turbans become a part of a Sikh's body and are usually removed only in the privacy of their own house. Normally this is in the most intimate of circumstances, when bathing the head, or washing the hair. Since the incident occurred, Mr Singh has received thousands of messages and comments on his Facebook page. 'Thousands of people have said "well done". I was only doing what I had to and trying to be a decent member of the community,' he said. Source: UK Daily Mail | ||
