Being a Teenager and Loving my Grandmother

My Grandmother, Me and Bishop Gerald R. Barnes May 29, 1993

Growing up in America and being taught in the United States from Kindergarten to this Blessed Educated state, I found my family relying on me at a level that delivered a maturation greater than what I am now fathoming as a charism of the Holy Spirit.  My grandmother relied on me to interpret the language and the communication was received as trusted only through me as the channel.  My knowledge of a conscientious delivery came from education and the historical conditions America became up to this point; and I discovered areas in the system that required an evaluation from this Supreme Court Decision of self-righteous endeavor in America.

Advanced Placement - Teacher and Student interaction

Do young people today have the recognition to be known with the right questions?
Do young people know how to ask a question?
Are young people at a capacity to interact with an older person, a teacher, a senior in age for questions that offer a provision to the future?

You will be placed accordingly, this is your question.

My First Bible - 15 years old

The Ignatius Blue Bible, The Year 1995

I was watching EWTN Mother Angelica Live and in this program, Mother shared with me that there were false interpretations of scripture.  At this point, the reality of seeking direction became evident to me.  I knew I needed a Priest to support my direction.

My grandmother and I were listening to her speak strongly against the interpretations that watered down the vocabulary of the language, and she termed it as inclusive language.

Mother Angelica Live, The Ignatius Blue Bible

Then she directed and recommended the Ignatius Blue Bible, as she called it; and I asked my mother if I could purchase my first Bible as a teenager.  I purchased my first bible from EWTN.  I then went to Fr. Ray Rosales at our local parish in San Bernardino after a difficulty at another parish that was closer.  Fr. Ray Rosales had underground Bible studies; of which, he was selective about who attended.  My grandmother and I were invited and when my mother could come she would also be there.

It was evident that the serious nature of study was an intellectual decision and Scripture needed to be properly directed by the Priesthood.
I could hear my grandmother a bit frightened that her past experiences with the Bible came from missionaries that may not have been so solid in interpretation.  The delivery was so strongly embedded in me from Mother Angelica's serious delivery on the subject, I became aware of seeking the right direction.

The Order of Preachers directed me to study the Ignatian Spirituality and the developments of this Jesuit Saint.  In my familiarity with their form of discernment, I was well directed.  I have been introduced to a couple of new foundations of priests under the Ignatian Order of Spiritual direction; the Miles Christi Order of Priests is one of them.

The Ignatian Spirituality I have discovered as a blueprint have found its depth to a possible condition for reflection in the laity.  It is so possible, I highly recognize the Philosophy and Theology of the Founder of Miles Christi Order of Priests Religious Congregation.

What are the depths of a high school Advanced Placement Honor Student?
Who are the teachers and who are the persons that help challenge and transform her?

The propriety has been established and the exempt will tell you of who they are.  They are the ones who have placed them under selective decision.  And tell us, why are students selected towards a greater degree of challenge?  How are these students seen to reach a level above the rest?

Does Lent offer an insight to who the Bride is?  The Bride who eats is a Bride, indeed.  For she knows her Bridegroom is near.
