Some Good Friday Art By James Tissot
There is a fairly large series of paintings by James Tissot called "The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ". There are quite a few that relate to Good Friday. I am going to post here those paintings that relate to the gospel readings from the Gospel of John for Good Friday. I will try to post them in the order the scenes are spoken of in the gospel. But if I get them out of order, please keep in mind it is late, and I am not a spring chicken any longer. They actually are here in there original form if you'd like to see those instead. They begin with the second painting on row 8 of the page there.
I will post them as small here, and you can click each individual image to see the higher resolution full sized image.

Just Say 'No' To Starbucks
So, now the CEO of
Starbucks, has told a shareholder who supports traditional marriage
that he should sell his shares and invest in another company. You
can read about it here
and get the full report from Forbes here.
The shareholder had
complained to CEO Howard Schultz that the company had lost customers
because of it's support for gay “marriage”. Last year, Starbucks
announced it's support for the Washington State referendum backing
gay “marriage”, and declared same sex “marriage” one of
Starbucks' core values. As such, the National Organization for
Marriage (NOM) launched a boycott of Starbucks, and you can go sign
their petition here at Dump Starbucks.
Depending on which poll
you read, the claim is made that anywhere from 54% to 58% of
Americans now support same sex “marriage”. According to another
poll that I read today, 56% of Catholics now support same sex
“marriage”.
Well, this is one
Catholic who does not support same sex “marriage”,
and who still believes that God's Law and the teachings of the Church
are still just as relative and applicable to today as
they have always been. No matter how many laws or
referendums are held that declare same sex “marriage” as valid,
it will never, ever be valid in God's truth and Church
teaching.
Now that all being said,
you can still get good coffee....excellent coffee...the best coffee
in fact...by buying your coffee from Mystic
Monk Coffee as blended and sold by the Carmelite Monks of
Wyoming. That way, you can have the satisfaction of not
supporting a company that endorses unnatural “marriage”, while
knowing that steaming hot cup of Mystic
Monk Coffee you are enjoying supports the good Carmelite
Monks of Wyoming and their monastery.
While you are at the
Mystic Monk Coffee
website, be sure to check out their religious gifts, drink-ware, and
equipment, too.
