Apple’s iPad factory explosion in China


SAN FRANCISCO - Apple is currently investigating the incident iPad factory explosion in China that killed two people and 16 people.

The explosion occurred in a factory owned by Foxconn International Holdings, said the place produced iPad 2. Similarly, as quoted by the Times of Oman, on Sunday (22/05/2011).

“For a while the production process will be delayed until the investigation is completed,”said the Foxconn.

“The safety of our employees is a top priority and we will do whatever it takes to find the cause of the explosion,” he added.

Although not mentioned factory which exploded, but the Chinese news agency,Xinhua, said the plant is located in Chegdu, capital of Sichuan province, southwestern China.

The blast may inhibit the supply of the iPad. ”Apple is now being followed by news developments carefully,” said Steve Dowling from Apple.

“We are very saddened by the tragedy at the Foxconn factory in Chengdu. Our Condolences to the victims. We are now working hard to find out what the cause of this tragedy,” he added.

Brian White, an analyst from Ticonderoga Securities, said that Apple is targeting the second iPad tablet controlled 80 percent of the market, which was also contested by Motorola and Samsung.

Apple has reported selling as much as 4.69 million iPad in the last quarter of last year.

Now Facebook says face being 'unfriended'

A quirk in Facebook's latest redesign has now made it easy for the users to see who has removed them from their friend list. Previously, the only way to tell someone had 'unfriended' you were to go to their page and notice that you have lost access to their personal details. But the social networking giant's newly introduced Timeline, that shows all activities of a user in chronological order, enables users to see which friend 'unfriended' them, Fox News reports.

According to the technology blog Buzz Feed, the new design doesn't go live until September 29th, but people have figured out a simple means for enabling the beta version.

Step-by-step guides have popped on various blog showing how to get the timeline up and running in just a few minutes, the report said.

Facebook is trying to evolve from an internet hangout where people share titbits, links and photos to a homestead decorated with the memories, dreams and diversions of its 800 million users.

According to the report, the timeline is easily enabled, and discovering a list revealing who has decided to de-friended you can be easily uncovered in few minutes.

FACE TO FACE WITH A MARTYR CHURCH




Catholic Church in Tirana, Albania


 


Face to Face With a Martyr Church


Monsignor Tejado on Beginning Priestly Ministry in Albania



ROME, SEPT. 6, 2011 (Zenit.org).-
The Church in Albania suffered massive and violent persecution under
the communist dictator Enver Hoxa. Yet, communism -- unlike secularism
-- was unable to take God out of people's hearts, says a Vatican aide
who began his priestly ministry in Albania.





Monsignor Segundo
Tejado Muñoz, undersecretary of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum,
remembers his first priestly assignment in Albania as the best time of
his life.





He spoke with the television
program "Where God Weeps" of the Catholic Radio and Television Network
(CRTN) in cooperation with Aid to the Church in Need, about what a
priest should learn from ministering to those who've risked their lives
for the faith.





Q: You came to Albania just after the death of Enver Hoxa. What was your experience at that time?





Monsignor Tejado: I came to Albania to work there and to help and
provide help with the first stages of establishing the Church just after
the fall of communism. I knew nothing about Albania because Spain had
few relations with the Balkans. My experience was wonderful -- difficult
but wonderful. I understood that the Lord had called me to go to
Albania. Albania is very poor and I found the people helpful; many times
in communist countries the people are against the faith, but not in
Albania. People respected my position as a priest. It was the beginning
of the Church. The Pope arrived there in 1994 and he consecrated the
first bishops. It was a very good experience but also difficult because
the Church was persecuted, and so to begin again, to begin speaking
about Jesus, to speak about the Lord and to organize the whole Church.





Q: What wonders did you see when you came to Albania?





Monsignor Tejado: I saw a population and a Church that suffered a lot
during the communist times but the persecution did not destroy
something in their hearts. That something was about heaven. They say
that during the communist era heaven was closed.





Q: The country was totally atheistic. How is it that there were still seeds of faith?





Monsignor Tejado: Communism could not destroy hope in the people. In
our countries, secularization has destroyed this hope in our hearts. In
these countries under communism, the sense of God remained. You can
speak about God with these people, in a way in which you cannot in our
secularized societies, because people find neither God nor their faith
that important or interesting. The people who were under communist
regimes are able to discuss and are open, with their hearts, about God.





Q: Was there a severe persecution of Albanian Catholics?





Monsignor Tejado: Yes, the Church in Albani is a martyr Church. They
remained in union with St. Peter, with the Pope and it was very
important to them. Enver Hoxa asked the Catholic Church in Albania to
become a national church like in China, but the bishops and priests
refused: "We shall remain in union with Peter, with the Pope" and
because of this, they were persecuted and had a terrible situation.





Q: Did these witnesses affect your vocation as a priest?





Monsignor Tejado: Yes! When you speak to the persecuted, something
remains with you. You come face to face with a person who has risked his
life for the Lord; this is very important for a priest -- to risk your
life for the Lord and for the Church.





Q: What risks have you taken for the Lord?





Monsignor Tejado: Each day as a priest I'm called to risk my life for
the Lord; to do his will. It is a spiritual experience. If you meet a
person who has taken the risk not just for a day but for life, for the
Lord, you ask yourself why you cannot do the same and offer your life
completely for the Lord. This is very important for a priest -- not just
for a priest but also for every Christian.





Q: Have you left a part of yourself in Albania?





Monsignor Tejado: Half of my heart. I was there for nine years. It
was my first assignment as a priest and being my first destination, I
remember it very fondly. It was a very nice period of my life -- the
best, I think, really, and also because of the difficulties, the
crosses, that the Lord permitted in my life. It made me humble and to be
humble, you know ...





Q: Mother Teresa comes from Albania. How important is she for the Catholic Church there?





Monsignor Tejado: Mother Teresa is a very important figure for all of
us. She was born in Skopje, the Albanian part of Macedonia. For the
Albanians, she is very special because after the fall of communism,
Albanians were losing hope. Mother Teresa's message, "Nothing is
impossible for God," is a message that I take from here, and it is also a
message for all people. If we have these kinds of models for our lives
then nothing is impossible for us if we are with the Lord. The visit of
the Pope and Mother Teresa was, as Albanians say, like heaven opening
once more. The communist era closed heaven to the people; Mother Teresa
and the Pope opened heaven again.

ATTY. MARWIL LLASOS REFUTES CONRADO DE QUIROS OF PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER ON MARY THE MOTHER OF GOD


CONRADO DE QUIROS GOT IT ALL WRONG ON THE MOTHER OF GOD!!!












CONRADO DE QUIROS GOT IT ALL WRONG ON THE MOTHER OF GOD!!!




















Inquirer columnist Conrado de Quiros opens his column with a sound bite from Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma, “If we fight against the RH bill, we will make Mama Mary happy.” Then he pounced upon the Cebu Archbishop and incoming CBCP President, “Palma may not know it, but he has just produced one of the richest ironies of late.” To de Quiros’ mind, yes. But not to faithful Catholics who comprise the majority in this country.









De Quiros proceeded to answer his own question: “Who was Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ?” He
noted how Mary is depicted today as “white Anglo-Saxon.” This betrays
the columnist’s limited worldview on Marian iconography. De Quiros must
have forgotten that closer to home, Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buenviaje in
Antipolo is a brown virgin and far from the “white Anglo Saxon”
depiction that De Quiros claims Mary is depicted today. De Quiros is
oblivious of the Morenita of Guadalupe who is depicted, well,
with Indian and not white Anglo-Saxon features. I can go on to list
depictions of the Blessed Virgin Mary that are not white Anglo-Saxon but
with rather ethnic or native features (La Vang, Akita, Kibeho, etc.).












The Inquirer columnist observes that “[o]ccasionally,
you see a more Pinoy version of the Madonna and Child in paintings,
that of a brown-skinned and gusgusin mother and child (ah, but artists
have always been the boy who can see through the emperor’s new clothes).
And occasionally you see belens that have the same brown-skinned, if
not gusgusin, version of the Madonna and Child. But so only
occasionally.”
But brown-skinned Madonnas are not alien to Filipino piety. They have been with us since the Spanish times. Guadalupe is brown and so is the Antipolo. In Bicol, the Peñafrancia and the Salvacion are brown virgins. Yes, we have black Madonnas, too. Piat in Cagayan, Guadalupe in Loboc. Not to forget the oldest Marian image in the Philippines, De Guia.












De
Quiros notes that what we generally see in churches is a Mary clad in
white, grasping a rosary with hands that have never seen a day’s work.
But what about the other depictions of Mary I pointed? De Quiros must
have only seen the images of Our Lady of Fatima or Our Lady of Lourdes.
But these are depictions of Mary in her eschatological lot. What De
Quiros does not realize is that Marian iconography is not about
portraits or actual pictures of how Mary looked like in Palestine 2000
years ago. Iconography is intended primarily to convey theological
truth.












Then
De Quiros pontificates that Mary represents the Filipino woman in far
more ways than the Catholic Church has been able to fathom. The
implication is that only De Quiros is able to fathom that truth.












Conrado
De Quiros is correct that the term “Mama Mary” signifies a mother. He
is correct. Mary is first and foremost a mother. It is in being a mother
that the glory of Mary lies. Motherhood is a precious gift of God that
contraception thwarts. Then De Quiros, with an air of infallibility,
declares that “’Mama Mary’ already invests Mary with a rich or
middle-class provenance. The wife of a karpintero is not called “Mama”
by her brood, she is called “Inay.”
I wonder what is the source of De Quiros’ ex cathedra declaration that the wife of karpinteros is not called “Mama” but “Inay” by her children. I have neighbors who are carpenters and their children call their mothers “Mama.” De Quiros is clearly generalizing.












So
what if we call Mary “Mama Mary”? “Mama” is a more universal term of
endearment used for mothers and by calling Mary such title underscores
her universal motherhood. Mary is not just the mother of the poor but
also of the middle class and the rich. She is the mother of us all. By
insinuating that since “Mama Mary” is of rich or middle class
provenance, hence, not appropriate for the poor, De Quiros seems to
involve Mary in a class struggle. That smacks of Marxism to me.










The
Catholic Church refers to Mary as the Virgin Mary and we do take it as a
matter of faith. And we take it, as what God’s Word teaches us, that
the Holy Spirit had a hand in Mary’s pregnancy (Lk. 1:35). We don’t
force this belief on De Quiros – he is free to reject it. It is obvious that De Quiros does not believe the clear teaching of Scripture. Fine. But he should not disparage those who do.












In
stating that “it is inconceivable that Joseph and Mary did not have
normal physical relations before and after the birth of Christ,” Conrado
de Quiros has just taken the ranks of heretics like Nestorius. Here, De
Quiros clearly embraces Nestorian heresy, the denial of the perpetual
virginity of Mary. The Inquirer columnist justifies his heretical belief
by stating that “[a]s far as I know, the instructions of the angel
who came to visit Mary did not include a ban on sex, or stipulated that
she marry Joseph to keep up a front. The marriage was for real.”
What is his basis? His private interpretation of Scripture. Let’s chop to bits and pieces De Quiros’ “exegesis.”












De Quiros says that the “instructions of the angel who came to visit Mary did not include a ban on sex.”
And who says it does? The Gospel account is about God’s invitation to
Mary to be the mother of the Messiah. The angel tells her how her
motherhood would come about, without the agency of a man. The angel was
not imposing a ban on sex to Mary. There was no need to as it is clear
in the passage that Mary was a virgin and determined to remain so as
expressed in her question, “How can this be since I do not know man?” (Lk. 1:34).












Conrado de Quiros goes on to state that the angel’s instruction did not stipulate “that she marry Joseph to keep up a front. The marriage was for real.” The
Catholic Church does not teach, in fact it condemns, the heretical
notion that the marriage of Mary and Joseph was not real. Obviously, De
Quiros’ grasp on Catholic teaching and theology is nil.












De Quiros is correct that Mary was the mother of a single child. Yet, his reason why it is so is absurd. He avers that “[t]he faithful will say that was because God caused Mary—or Joseph—to be barren afterward.” Who
are these faithful who say that? The truth of the matter is no Catholic
faithful will ever say such thing for the simple reason that the
Catholic Church never teaches that God caused Mary or Joseph to be
barren! Just what is De Quiros’ source for Catholic teaching?












Another
thing. God did not order Mary to be chaste. She already was. And how
could Joseph’s fate be worse than Job or anybody else since he was
privileged to be the foster-father of the Son of God? De Quiros’
assumption of course is that sex is all that it takes in this life.
Joseph, as true husband to Mary, has rights over Mary but that does not
mean that he exercised it.










De Quiros comments that “[t]he faithless, or downright sacrilegious, will say that was because they practiced family planning.” I wonder who are these faithless or downrightly sacrilegious people De Quiros is referring to.












Conrado
de Quiros categorizes Mary as dirt-poor. Poor, yes. Dirt-poor, no. How
else could Mary ever have the luxury of a donkey in going to Bethlehem
from Nazareth and from Bethlehem to Egypt and back to Nazareth? A
dirt-poor woman could not afford a donkey. And Joseph, too, was not
dirt-poor as he was a “tekton,” an artisan – some sort of a skilled
worker with a steady income. Clearly, De Quiros’ command of Biblical
studies is simply bereft.












Then here’s the rub. De Quiros stated that “[o]nly
in the end for Mary to see the same son arrested by the authorities for
being a troublemaker. Only in the end for Mary to see their friends,
their neighbors, and their entire community rise against him. Only in
the end for Mary to see him nailed to the cross like a common criminal.
Maybe Mary had the profoundest of faith and was convinced her son,
though of her loins was not of this world, but she was a mother, too.
And what mother would not have wept at the sight of her son’s agony? And
what mother would not have wished things had been different and her son
had met with another fate?”
Oh, so De Quiros would rather that Mary
should not have consented to have a son in the first place. If Mary had
the same thinking as De Quiros, the Savior would have not been born.












And then De Quiros asks, “Why should a proposal for the poor to breed children beyond their ability to raise them make Mary happy?” His
question assumes that the Church teaches and encourages the poor to
breed children beyond their ability to raise them. That is a false
assumption. The Church also teaches responsible parenthood but insists
on natural family planning to achieve it. De Quiros did not point out
the fact that the Church differs only in the means and not on the end of responsible parenthood.












De
Quiros argues that a decent life is impossible in a huge family which,
in the urban slums in particular, dooms many of the girls to a life of
prostitution and the boys to a life of crime. Prostitution and
criminality are not attributable to big families alone. The government,
too, has a big role to play in this regard.












It
would also seem that to De Quiros that the poor do not have the right
to have children. Thus, if we are to follow De Quiros’ logic, the poor
should be sterilized so that they can no longer procreate. This is most
welcome in a Nazi regime.












De Quiros further posits that “[c]ontraception is not abortion, where you can argue for an “unborn child.” He
forgets that abortion is a back-up to contraception and most
contraceptives, like morning after pills and IUD are abortifacients.
Conception occurs at fertilization and these contraceptives (pills, IUD)
prevents implantation of a fertilized ovum thus killing it.












Then De Quiros says
“[u]nless you want to propose that couples never express their love for
each other intimately unless they are willing to risk having another
mouth to feed, even if they are not prepared to feed it.”
I wonder
who is suggesting that to De Quiros. Definitely not the Catholic Church.
Couples are free to intimately express their love for each other, by
all means. Yet, if they partake of the pleasure, they too must accept
the consequences. If they can’t risk another mouth to feed, then they
should abstain from intimacies or otherwise avail of natural family
planning.












As
expected, Conrado de Quiros ends his column by scoring the bishops and
taking them to task for their position against the RH Bill. In essence,
he wants the bishop to stop their opposition against the RH Bill because
one of them asked for an SUV on his birthday. That’s clearly a non sequitor and an ad hominem attack. In melodramatic fashion, De Quiros decries how one bishop who asked for an SUV during his birthday led to the “grabbing
the food that should go to the mouths of hungry street kids, seizing
the medicine that should go to the bodies of infants afflicted with
dengue, putting on hold the classroom that should go to enlighten the
benighted
.” After shedding crocodile tears for the plight of the
poor as if he is the only one concerned about them, De Quiros
generalized, “[i]f the bishops would just show a little more concern for the living…” Of
course the bishops are concerned for the living. They run charities and
social action programs that Conrado de Quiros vaguely know about. What
about De Quiros? What has he done so far to help the poor?












We
may also ask him back if condoms can be eaten by the hungry street
kids, or pills could go to the bodies of infants afflicted with dengue,
or sex education will improve the quality of education in the classrooms
that should enlighten the benighted. Madre de Dios!

US study proves Church point vs RH bill – CBCP official






MANILA, Sept. 5, 2011— Pro-reproductive health (RH) bill lawmakers
should rethink their position on the measure if only to address maternal
deaths in the country, a Catholic Church official said.








Fr. Melvin Castro of the Commission on Family and Life of the
Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines recent study in the US
only shows that RH bill is not the answer to maternal mortality.








“Sana e makita ito ng ating leaders sa pamahalaan na sana huwag nang
ipagpilitan ang bagong batas na gagastusan pa ng buwis ng mamamayan,”
said Castro.








Over the weekend, reports came out saying researchers from the
University of Washington in Seattle studying maternal deaths in 181
countries showed that the maternal mortality rate in the Philippines has
dropped by 81 percent from 1980 to 2008.








Separately, the 2010 report “Trends in Maternal Mortality: 1990 to
2008” by the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children’s
Fund, the UN Population Fund, and the World Bank, placed the
Philippines’ maternal mortality ratio or MMR at 94 per 100,000 live
births in 2008, which is equivalent to 4.6 deaths a day.








This is way lower than the 2004 report placing maternal deaths in the
country during the year 2000 at 4,100, or equal to 11.2 a day.








The improvements come while RH bill, which seeks to promote the use
of contraceptives in family planning, is pending in Congress and
abortion remains illegal in the country.








The study, Castro said, only shows that the problem can be resolved
if only the government dedicates its service in serving women,
especially pregnant mothers.








“Kung talagang ang pamahalaan ay seryoso na tulungan ang ating mga
kababaihan na maging malusog at mapayapa at secure ang pagbubuntis at
panganganak ay magagawa yun e kahit walang batas sapagkat iyan e natural
na dapat ginagawa ng pamahalaan,” he said.








“Mapapakita talaga dito sa study na ang kailangan ay hindi panibagong
batas kundi ang mahalaga ay ang pamahalaan at pribadong sector ay
tutukan ito,” Castro added.








To note, RH bill proponents and supporters have been claiming the
need to address maternal deaths in the country as a reason to
immediately pass the measure. [CBCPNews]

ANG HALOS LAHAT NG NOVUS ORDO MASS AY ORGAN ANG GINAGAMIT AT HINDI
ELECTRIC GUITAR AND DRUMS. EWAN KO KUNG SAANG SIMBAHAN IYANG PINAGSASABI

ANG GUMAGAMIT NG MGA DRUMS AT ELECTRIC GUITAR SA NOVUS ORDO
MASSES AY MGA CATHOLIC CHARISMATICS NA MAHILIG SA GANONG URI NG
PAGSAMBA. KUNG AYAW MO NG GANON E DI WAG KANG MAGSIMBA KASAMA ANG MGA
CHARISMATICS. HE HE HE... SIMPLE LANG IYON. GAMITIN ANG UTAK.

CHARISMATIC GROUPS NA GUMAGAMIT NG ELECTRIC GUITAR AY MAGAGANDANG SONGS
OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP ANG KINAKANTA AT HINDI PANG DISCO O PANG BAR.
SIGURO MAHILIG KANG PUMASOK SA DISCO AT SA BAR KAYA MALASWA ANG UTAK MO.
KAHIT NA BUMILI KA NG KANTA NG MGA CHARISMATICS VERY BIBLICAL AT
MAGAGANDA. HINDI PANG BAR AT HINDI PANG DISCO KUNDI PANG JOYFUL PRAISE. 




Exposed: Three pro-RH groups backing legalized abortionR

MANILA, September 5, 2011–At least three non-government organizations
have been found to be espousing the legalization of abortion in the
Philippines, as senators resumed floor debates on the controversial
“reproductive health” (RH) bill Monday.


 



One of the sponsors of Senate Bill No. 2865, Sen. Pia Cayetano, did
not deny that groups such as the Family Planning Organization of the
Philippines (FPOP), the Women’s Global Network for Reproductive Rights
(WGNRR), and Likhaan have been campaigning for legalized abortion, under
interpellation by Sen. Vicente Sotto III.








Sotto pointed out that FPOP got US$617,000 (P26 million) in funding
from the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) – the
world’s largest abortion provider – last year.








FPOP’s website carries a document titled “Medical and Service
Delivery Guidelines for Sexual and Reproductive Health Services,” which
describes medical and surgical methods for inducing abortion.








“[E]fforts should be made to inform the public that abortion is
safest when performed early, and women who seek abortion should be
encouraged to attend as early in the pregnancy as possible,” the
document on the FPOP website states.








FPOP is also on the listing of “Sexual Health Services and abortion
clinics Worldwide” by the Dutch abortion group Women on Waves (WoW). WoW
takes women aboard hired ships to undergo abortions in international
waters, to escape national laws banning abortion.








WoW states on its website: “If you live in a country where there is
no access to safe abortion services and you would like to obtain a
medical abortion with Mifepristone and Misoprostol, please go to Women
on Web. This is an online medical abortion help service that refers to a
doctor who can provide you with a medical abortion.”








Mifepristone and Misoprostol are abortion drugs, and both are not legal in the Philippines.





Providing how-to instructions for abortion








Likhaan, meanwhile, published last year a Filipino translation of the
book “Where Women Have No Doctor,” Chapter 15 of which has a section
titled “Mga Ligtas na Paraan ng Pagpapalaglag.” The book is available to
the public on the Likhaan website.








Tinatanggal ang binubuntis sa pamamagitan ng paghigop, gamit ang ispesyal na tubo (cannula) na pinapadaan sa puwerta at cervix pa-pasok sa matris. Puwedeng gawin ito na hindi pinapatulog ang babae, pero minsan, iniiniksyunan ng gamot sa cervix para makatulong sa sakit. Sa manu-manong proseso (manual vacuum aspiration o MVA), tinatanggal ang binubuntis sa pamamagitan ng ispesyal na heringgilya (syringe). Kung hindi, gumagamit ng maliit na makinang de-kuryente,” the book states.








Mayroon na ngayong mga gamot na nagagamit ang mga doktor at health worker para
magpalaglag. Pinapaimpis ng mga gamot ang matris at pinipiga palabas
ang binubuntis. Ang ilang gamot ay nilalagay sa loob ng puwerta … ang
ilan ay iniinom, at ang ilan ay iniiniksyon. Kung tama ang gagamiting
gamot o kumbinasyon ng mga gamot, ligtas at mabisang paraan ito
,” it adds.





Pushing abortion acceptance despite being unlawful








The Manila- and Amsterdam-based WGNRR, headed by UP professor Dr.
Sylvia Claudio, talks about its “Abortion Rights Advocacy” on its
website:








“Throughout its almost 30 year history, WGNRR has made abortion advocacy a priority.”








The Claudio-led group’s “specific goals” include the investigation of
“ways to improve access despite the law,” sharing of “experiences and
strategies about how to confront religious fundamentalists,” and finding
the “best practices for linking abortion rights to other social justice
and human rights campaigns.”








Sotto
pointed out that the RH bill provides an “open door” to abortion –
Section 3 paragraph i. The provision states: “While this Act does not
amend the penal law on abortion, the government shall ensure that all
women needing care for post-abortion complications shall be treated and
counseled in a humane, non-judgmental and compassionate manner.”








“People and organizations behind it, as far as I’m concerned, are the
difficulties I am encountering [in this bill],” Sotto said.








“IPPF has lobbied worldwide for the legalization and repeal of all laws preventing legal access to abortion,” he added.








In reply, Cayetano said: “The fact that an organization has made
statements inconsistent with public policy does not prevent them from
making statements consistent [with public policy].”





Using a poor analogy, the pro-RH senator said that even if Osama bin
Laden supported policies against climate change, environmentalist Sen.
Loren Legarda wouldn’t want to be associated with the brains behind the
9/11 attacks.








Sotto, however, retorted: “Climate change – everybody will agree to that. Eh ito contraception and abortion eh!” (Dominic Francisco)

EXCLAIMED: "How wonderful it is to see a messenger coming across the
mountains, bringing good news, the news of peace! He announces victory
and says to Zion, "Your God is king!" ISAIAH 52:7 [Good News Bible] AND
SO I SAY TO YOU MY FELLOW DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH: "HOW BEAUTIFUL, HOW
LOVELY YOU ARE! AND MY HEART REJOICES IN THE LIVING GOD FOR THE WONDERS
HE HAS DONE FOR YOU!'
