I learned something really cool today. Apparently the Jagermeister logo is based on the spiritual conversion of St. Hubert. St. Hubert was a Christian saint who became the first bishop of Liège in 708 AD. Prior to his spiritual conversion, Hubert's wife died giving birth to their son Floribert, and his grief prompted him to retreat from the court. He withdrew into the forests of the Ardennes and gave himself up entirely to hunting.

Legend holds that on a Good Friday morning, while the faithful were in church, Hubert was hunting in the forest. As he pursued a magnificent stag or hart, the animal turned and Hubert was astounded to see a crucifix floating between its antlers. He heard a voice saying: "Hubert unless thou turnest to the Lord and leadest a holy life, thou shalt quickly go down into Hell." Hubert dismounted and prostrated himself, and after asking "Lord, what wouldst Thou have me do?" is told, "Go and seek Lambert, and he will instruct you."

Lambert of Maastricht (commonly referred to as Saint Lambert) was the bishop of Maastricht-Liège (Tongeren) from about 670 until his death.

Sts Lambert and Hubert. Pray for us!

Lord, in my pride I have said "I have given everything for you. And for what?" Now in good faith I anticipate the day it is revealed to me as to why I have been kept in longing, desperation and heartache for so long. For as terrible as my sufferings have been, my reward must be all the greater.

When the war is a religious one, the common denominator is Islam.

I don't want every Palestinian to be killed or exiled. But so long as they give intellectual ascent to the idea of Palestine, then there will always be a jihad against Israel. And so long as there is a jihad against Israel, people will keep dying on both sides.

I found this pagan nonsense today. What I found interesting is that she identifies Christianity with a sense of religiosity which places moral demands on the practitioner. How odd.

To be Protestant is to accept things as they are and to not question how they came to be. To be Catholic is to question why things are the way they are and to go back to how things were.
