SQPN Newsletter 7 July 2008
First week of July. Hot, humid summer in the northern hemisphere, dead of winter in the south. Long weekend for Independence Days in the US, Malawi and Comoros. You’re probably thinking that there’s not been a lot happening with SQPN. (insert game-show wrong-answer buzzy noise here) Wrong! There’s been 11 new podcasts and 5 videos from 10 shows, there’s daily prayers, Bible readings and Mass, a monthly contest, some ebooks, and even a mention or two from the Mature Media. It may be vacation time somewhere, but not here, baby, not at SQPN.
New this Week from SQPN

Mulieris Dignitatem
Since Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Letter Mulieris Dignitatem (On the Dignity of Women) is soon going to have its 20th anniversary, and since there will be discussion from the Vatican about the Letter, I decided to track it down. It’s available as a web page on the Vatican web site, and I have converted it to ebook form so you can read if on a smartphone, pocket pc or pda. It’s in MS-Reader, MobiPocket, CompiledHTML and eReader formats.
While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things. - Saint Francis de Sales

It is not the punishment but the cause that makes the martyr. – Saint Augustine of Hippo
Into the Deep #58
The Spiritual Combat – Ch. 55-58
Shiny little globe. The Feast of Corpus Christi (for you guys, at least). Coveting liturgy. Mmmmmmm… iconostasis. God is the perfect good. Spiritual Communion. Recalling God’s love for us. God can only create that which he wants. Untainted Love. God is not a vending machine. Our love, properly understood, is not for US, but for who we love, especially when we love God. Under the accidents of bread and wine, The Lord gives himself completely to us. The essence of sin is separation from God. Nothin’ causes Him to do nothin’ – so there. The “Grampafication” of God. I promise Just get me out of this trap, and I promise… I’ll never try to get the cheese again! The PRIMARY prayer we prays should be: THY WILL BE DONE. A harsh lesson in “don’t do that.” Jesus didn’t heal everyone – but that doesn’t mean He doesn’t love everyone. Spiritual Communion. I’ll pray… sometime, I’m sure I will. Really. So it’s a cliche, but the attitude of gratitude is still the correct. You can’t have a divided heart. The offering of Christ to His Church and from the Church to Christ in the Eucharist. Transforming union. The end is near. Almost. Click to Listen!
