Fasting can ward off diabetes: Study

The research on periodic fasting has identified a biological process in the body that converts bad cholesterol in fat cells to energy, thus combating diabetes risk factors.
Holy Trinity - Liturgy Prayers
Introduction by the Celebrant
A. An Inexhaustibly Great God With joy and gratitude we celebrate today the
solemnity of the Blessed Trinity. When we think of the mystery we honor today,
the question is not so much: who is God, but, as Scripture itself puts it: who
is God for us? And the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, answers, in a
variety of ways: God is a mystery of love. God loves us. With Psalm 8 we say:
what are human beings that you spare a thought for them? Thank you, Lord, thank
you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All praise to you through Jesus!

Starters:
The Church on Fire
Two persons were talking together before a large church which was being destroyed by fire. The first man spoke in a voice which could be heard above the voice of the firemen: "This is the first time I ever saw you at church." To this the second responded: "This is the first time I ever saw the church on fire." There are many prophets of doom saying that the age of the Christian Church is over - that it has lost its zeal! We're taking a beating right now in this country and around the world. Our theology is being questioned. Everyone is writing a critical book against the organized church. We have had to take some unpopular stands on social issues. Magazines are attacking the ministry, and it isn't the thing to do anymore to join the church. John Kelman said, however, "God pity the nation or city whose factory smokestacks rise higher than her church spires."
