Inside this book is a very powerful prayer to Saint Anthony that will shake your “hearts out.” Saint Anthony of Padua is also a matchmaker. For those of you who are looking for suitable partners, Saint Anthony is the way to go. Actually, this prayer was taught and given to me by my beloved mother who was a devoted Saint Anthony of Padua believer. Mom assured me that this prayer to Saint Anthony will always be heard by the Saint. It was in World War II in a jungle that two young newlyweds were hiding . They can see the marching boots of the Japanese soldiers. These soldiers held bayonets in their hands. Nearby the newlyweds was their friend who was bayoneted. It was at this time when the Japanese soldiers were approaching their exact location that the new husband saw a tall man with a brown Habit or clothing spread it out to hide these two newlyweds. Each time the Japanese soldiers will close in to these newlyweds’ hiding spot, this browned-clothed man with an almost-bald hair, very young and fair-skinned, will stand in front of them and spread his cloak or long robe around these blessed newlyweds to hide the two of them. The Japanese soldiers did not see the two newlyweds and had changed directions and went away. And these newly weds were safe. And the vision of Saint Anthony of Padua disappeared. These newlyweds were my future parents! And my beloved mother was a devotee of Saint Anthony of Padua! As a very young girl, my future mother was always wearing a brown Habit or Clothing just as Saint Anthony of Padua each time she went to church. And it was only my beloved father who saw the vision of Saint Anthony of Padua who saved them from being killed by the Japanese soldiers’ bayonets in that jungle hideaway in 1944. That hideaway jungle was now where our ancestral home was built and where we grew up. All these give me tears each time I recall these very holy and galactic events. And I, myself, have experienced so many miracles from Saint Anthony of Padua. This is precisely why this very precious book was written. My beloved parents have experienced the miraculous intervention of Saint Anthony during World War II when they were newly-married. And up to this day, Saint Anthony always runs to our rescue whenever we are looking for something. After I have said this powerful prayer to Saint Anthony, I have found this manuscript that I have been searching for. I said to Saint Anthony that if I found this very manuscript , that this was Creator Source and Saint Anthony’s sign that I will publish this miraculous book. And I have found this my manuscript that is in your hands right now!

I was about to choke on a big tilapia fish bone. The long bone was lodged opposite on either side of my throat. And each time , I breathe, the bone just got stuck inside my tonsils all the more! Then, I suddenly remembered to pray to Saint Blaise, and a great miracle happened! I prayed for nine days to Saint Therese of Lisieux. Therese is famous for answering prayers with the signs of roses . And on the ninth day, a man was waiting at the bus stop with a bouquet of roses. He said it was for me! I made a nine day prayer to Saint Jude. And I promised him that if my prayers will be granted that I will make him known. My prayers were granted and this is the reason why I am writing this book. And that is to spread the goodness of these three Ascended Masters, Galactic Stars, Avatars, we call saints. So you can all experience and live them in your reality, as well. If not so, already. And the powerful prayers or conversations or mantra to Therese, Blaise, and Jude are also in this book. Or, you also, can make your own words to acknowledge and communicate to them of your good intents for the good of mankind and of your own magnificent self. Most of all. Read the many more stories of miracles that I had personally experienced of these three fellow Gods and Goddesses, Kings and Queens, just as we are; known as Saints. And they are Saint Therese, Saint Jude, and Saint Blaise. It is because the God Source Energy is within inside of you and me. We are all Royalties as the Creator Source is home in our wonderful and compassionate hearts and brilliant and powerful minds. This is the reason why our heads is called Temple. And our hearts pulsate with love. As God Source is Love. “God is Love. And all who live in Love abides in God. And God lives in him or her,” as the scriptures state.

By examining the ongoing tension between popular and official religion in Europe, this collection of essays contributes significantly to the continuing effort to understand the religious experience of ordinary people. Ranging from the Mediterranean to northern Europe and including both Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions, the ethnographic contexts evoked in these essays enable us to see people actively and creatively shaping their religious domain, sometimes in collaboration with official ritual specialists, often in open rebellion against them. The use of folklore texts and extensive narrative quotations, combined with an approach highlighting key symbols such as pilgrimages and festas, provides a common theoretical orientation throughout the bookone that considers how religious discourses are formed by social disciplines and relationships of power and subordination. This volume includes "Spirits and the Spirit of Capitalism" by Jane Schneider, "The Priest and His People: The Contractual Basis for Religious Practice in Rural Portugal" by Caroline B. Brettell, "The Struggle for the Church: Popular Anticlericalism and Religiosity in Post-Franco Spain" by Ruth Behar, "Pilgrimage and Popular Religion at a Greek Holy Shrine" by Jill Dubisch, "Breton Folklore of Anticlericalism" by Ellen Badone, "Stories of Power, Powerful Stories: The Drunken Priest in Donegal" by Lawrence J. Taylor, and "Reflections on the Study of Religious Orthodoxy and Popular Faith in Europe" by Stanley Brandes.

‘After the massacre, the GAA became even more important to us as a real sense of identity. It’s difficult to explain but we could cling to it in a sense, and say this is ours, this is us.’- Clare Rogan, wife of Adrian Rogan, killed by the UVF in the 1994 Loughinisland massacre The GAA has long been at the heart of Irish life, nurturing our culture and communities and fostering powerful social bonds. However, as sectarian conflict intensified in the North, the GAA became the object of animosity and surveillance by loyalist paramilitaries and Crown forces. Clubhouses and pitches were occupied by British forces, fans were security checked and harrassed on their way to and from games, and over 150 members were killed. Lost Gaels is the first comprehensive account of the devastating impact of the Troubles on the GAA, providing a platform for bereaved family and friends to pay homage to their lost loved ones. Capturing the deep connection between the GAA and the everyday lives of Irish people, this is a poignant and powerful tribute to the lives of lost Gaels.
