Apples of Gold - March 22

There is no greater joy for any of us, in the final analysis, than knowing hat we have done God’s will, that we have pleased Him, that we have been true to His Word, to His love, and that we have responded in kind to His grace and commitment to us. If we keep these things in mind, it helps to stabilize our Christian life, gives us a real purpose and joy in simply being and saying and doing what He has planned for us. And that is a joy that will be ours for all eternity... more

On this day, March 18, 1314, Jacques de Molay, the 23rd and last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, was sentenced to death together with Geoffroi de Charney. They were burned at the stake on the Ile des Javiaux near the middle of the Seine River in Paris, France.

The Knights Templar had amassed a great deal of wealth and influence and thus became targets of retribution, both by the ruling classes of France led by King Philip IV and the Catholic Church headed by Pope Clement V.
Trumped-up charges of sodomy and blasphemy were brought against the religious order and Molay and several other Knights were arrested and made to confess to these crimes. They were most likely tortured by Inquisitors hired by the pope. The French king himself had borrowed a great sum of money from the Knights Templar and saw this as an opportunity to confiscate the massive amount of wealth and land they possessed.

Continuing to protest his innocence even while on the smoldering pyre, Molay is said to have shouted out as he was about to be executed, "From this your heinous judgement to the living and true God, who is in Heaven", warning the Pope that, within a year and a day, he and King Philip IV would be obliged to answer for their crimes in God's presence.
Lo and behold, Philip and Clement V both died within a year of Molay's execution; Clement succumbed to a long illness on 20 April 1314, and Philip died due to a stroke while hunting. Then followed the rapid succession of the last Direct Capetian kings of France between 1314 and 1328, the three sons and a grandson of Philip IV. Within fourteen years of the death of Molay, the 300-year-old House of Capet collapsed.

In September 2001, Barbara Frale found a copy of the Chinon Parchment in the Vatican Secret Archives, a document which explicitly confirms that in 1308 Pope Clement V absolved Jacques de Molay and other leaders of the Order including Geoffroi de Charney and Hugues de Pairaud. She published her findings in the Journal of Medieval History in 2004. Another Chinon parchment dated 20 August 1308 addressed to Philip IV of France, well known to historians, stated that absolution had been granted to all those Templars that had confessed to heresy "and restored them to the Sacraments and to the unity of the Church.

St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is one of Christianity's most widely known figures. But for all his celebrity, his life remains somewhat of a mystery. Many of the stories traditionally associated with St. Patrick, including the famous account of his banishing all the snakes from Ireland, are false, the product of hundreds of years of exaggerated storytelling.

It is known that St. Patrick was born in Britain to wealthy parents near the end of the fourth century. He is believed to have died on March 17, around 460 A.D. Although his father was a Christian deacon, it has been suggested that he probably took on the role because of tax incentives and there is no evidence that Patrick came from a particularly religious family.

At the age of sixteen, Patrick was taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders who were attacking his family's estate. They transported him to Ireland where he spent six years in captivity. There is some dispute over where this captivity took place. Although many believe he was taken to live in Mount Slemish in County Antrim, it is more likely that he was held in County Mayo near Killala. During this time, he worked as a shepherd, outdoors and away from people. Lonely and afraid, he turned to his religion for solace, becoming a devout Christian. It is also believed that Patrick first began to dream of converting the Irish people to Christianity during his captivity.

After more than six years as a prisoner, Patrick escaped. According to his writing, a voice—which he believed to be God's—spoke to him in a dream, telling him it was time to leave Ireland. To do so, Patrick escaped, walking nearly 200 miles from County Mayo, where it is believed he was held, to the Irish coast. After escaping to Britain, Patrick reported that he experienced a second revelation—an angel in a dream tells him to return to Ireland as a missionary. Soon after, Patrick began religious training, a course of study that lasted more than fifteen years. After his ordination as a priest, he was sent to Ireland with a dual mission—to minister to Christians already living in Ireland and to begin to convert the Irish. Interestingly, this mission contradicts the widely held notion that Patrick introduced Christianity to Ireland.

Although there were a small number of Christians on the island when Patrick arrived, most Irish practiced a nature-based pagan religion. Familiar with the Irish language and culture, Patrick chose to incorporate traditional ritual into his lessons of Christianity instead of attempting to eradicate native Irish beliefs. The Irish culture centered around a rich tradition of oral legend and myth. For instance, he used bonfires to celebrate Easter since the Irish were used to honoring their gods with fire. He also superimposed a sun, a powerful Irish symbol, onto the Christian cross to create what is now called a Celtic cross, so that veneration of the symbol would seem more natural to the Irish.

I came across this post on FB from the page 'Biblical tips" and really liked the image they shared with their message and wanted to share it will all of you. Have a most blessed Sunday, Templars.

"The Temple of Jerusalem was the most sacred place for the people of Israel. It was where they came to worship God, offer sacrifices, and seek His presence. The Holy Place and the Most Holy Place symbolized the holiness of God and His dwelling among His people. The altar of sacrifice reminded the peop... more

It begins:

"Christianity begins with a startling claim about the human person: every man and woman is an immortal soul whose earthly life is only the first, brief chapter of an eternal story. The Christian tradition has always insisted that this temporal portion — fragile, unpredictable, and often marked by suffering — is nevertheless the decisive arena in which the so... more

Some people wrongly think that money is the root of all evil. It is not. We all have a level of money and we use it to care for ourselves, our family, and in charity to help others.

It is the LOVE of money - that covetousness of money and the unfulfilled desire of it that drives people away from the knowledge of the comfort and protection of God.
