Vegan Catholic Guilt , emphasis on Vegan .

Vegan + Catholic guilt is one of the most precious treasures one can possess . Now , it has been said that guilt is a very negative emotion . However , going back more essentially , emotions are helpful . When we have guilt about something we have done , we can see it for the sin it is / or is not / and may do something to rectify it . As Vegan Catholics we do not wallow for ever in negativity and sin . Not even Purgatory is for ever . And it is doubtful whether there is a place called Hell . Emotion is the beginning of reason . When we use the Three Pillars of Theological study ; tradition , scripture and reason ; we may be able to explain / justify our actions . More to the point : When we eat meat . In the KJV the word meat is used as a word for " food " . When we eat fleshy stuff ,, it does not mean we have eaten a living , breathing animal .

Recipe : bean sauce and vege-cake

Firstly start the bean sauce the night before . 1.) Soak black eyed peas / beans in water with two pinches of bi-carb soda . 2.) The morning after , squeeze the peels off the beans . It doesn't matter if you mash the beans while doing this , this helps smoothen the texture of the sauce . Use the soaking liquid to rinse the peels away and throw them in the compost . 3.) Boil the beans on very low heat until very soft and gluggy . You may have to add extra water to boil the beans . 4.) Remove excess cooking liquid from the beans and add diced tomatoes from a can or jar , salt and oil . Boil until tomatoes are cooked . This is the sauce , to be served hot . To make the cakes : 1.) Grate a large Idaho potatoe . Put in to a large mixing bowl . 2.) Add frozen mixed veges from a packet which you may buy at the super market . 3.) Add two ladel - fulls of plain flour 4.) Add a pinch of salt . 5.) Add 300 mL of water and mix , getting the lumps out . 6.) Put the whole batter into

After mid-night

It's half past three in the morn I'm awake alone A few cigarettes and cokes I start my long day in thinking and remembering They know the past , They predict the Future Yet ... the present is something ??? They have a past , they have a now They made a calf and yet the true story is sad and sorry for one who glories in the effemeral beauty of the Golden Calf The Pain and sufferring to live up to a longing An eyes lightenned and a quick release Yet when this matters in the moment when all else passes must cease Wearriness creeps in a distaste for sin A sudden grip of morale A voice , come hear the call Eternity after the Fall What will we be after it all Sand and dust a must , a bust Or a natural being without sin , guilt or rust .

Don't ... please ...

don't stress the mess that the world has made of your Life But Live it up to over - flowing as God has already given For we have a Living God , some one who is present , who is with us , through all time in reason and rhyme In Life and death and onward to the Life beyond Far beyond the sky , here in the sunshine of Eternal Love Like an unquenchable fire An unapproachable Light A perfect person Good in all ways Gracious God Heavenly Father Forgive us our tresspasses and Grant this Day our lot as you know we truly need .

The Joy of the Rythym

Slowly at first in , out , in , out , up , down , left , right A dance of the hips breathe heavily on your lips A Joy of the flesh Two entwined in tenderness In a dance which creates everything Of a Life to Live Forever more A ritual as old as time A dance in peance to the Creator In you , in me there is something In two there is three Some one yet to be Always waiting , wanting staying , saying something Like a word , a world a sound a Dance in to being .

To dance the mystery ...

known complete by the Master Himself The way the Lord shifts his feet in death defying innocence , a dance In His time on Earth King from birth Master on the cross Not one lamb lost Great Prince in Heaven The Redeemer and Saviour of my poor soul Save us now from getting of age For Yours' is the power a gesture of will and Grace on Your behalf is all it takes Oh Lord Supreme May You take us in to the fold of Your' Loving wings .
