Magnalia Dei - The Mighty Acts of God: Making Your Prayer Go Viral
http://magnaliadei.blogspot.com/2014/11/making-your-prayer-go-viral.html
Saturday, November 15, 2014. Making Your Prayer Go Viral. And we ask other people to pray for us because Scripture teaches us that if one prayer is good, two prayers are better! We can see a biblical example of this principle when the Prophet Daniel asked his three friends. To "seek mercies" from God that he could interpret the troubling dreams of the King of Babylon (Daniel 2:18-19). And the mystery was then revealed to Daniel in a dream. Asking Others to Ask Others to Pray for us. 1 Tim 2:1; 1 Thess 5:...

Magnalia Dei - The Mighty Acts of God: In Defense of the Cathedral for the Salvation of the Romanian People (Catedrala Mântuirii Neamului Românesc)
http://magnaliadei.blogspot.com/2014/08/in-defense-of-cathedral-for-salvation.html
Sunday, August 17, 2014. In Defense of the Cathedral for the Salvation of the Romanian People (Catedrala Mântuirii Neamului Românesc). And my point is simple. The Romanian Orthodox Church needs, nay, deserves a new cathedral which matches her size and significance within world Orthodoxy. Artist Depiction of the Cathedral under Construction. It is everything they deserve in terms of the grandeur of their Church. But, not surprisingly, there has been criticism of the project from many quarters. In ...One o...

Tuesday, December 9, 2014. The Secret Mercies of Ancestral Intercession. In this video, I describe the practice of Ancestral Intercession, asking our departed family to pray for us precisely because, as our blood and kin, they love us and will pray mightily on our behalf.

Magnalia Dei - The Mighty Acts of God: Who's the Pope? Latin to the Rescue!!!
http://magnaliadei.blogspot.com/2014/11/whos-pope-latin-to-rescue.html
Thursday, November 27, 2014. Latin to the Rescue! Apparently, there is a claim being made by various conspiracy theorists that the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI was invalid, owing to a grammatical error in the text. Now, I was the one who spotted a mere typo in the text of the resignation. And my attention to this point was apparently noticed by people at the Vatican and the typo was officially corrected. Here's the text of the resignation:. While the official Vatican website has corrected the error.

Magnalia Dei - The Mighty Acts of God: The Romanian Nativity Wheat Sprouting Tradition!
http://magnaliadei.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-romanian-nativity-wheat-sprouting.html
Saturday, November 29, 2014. The Romanian Nativity Wheat Sprouting Tradition! On St Andrew's Feast Day (which began at sundown today [November 30] on the Church calendar), Romanians sprinkle wheat grains on tufts of cotton and water them. The successful sprouting of the grains during the days leading up to the Nativity is viewed as a portent of the year to come. Yes, it borders a bit on the superstitious. But it's a delightful tradition! Pray for us, O Glorious Saint Andrew! In Saecula Saeculorum is a ti...

Magnalia Dei - The Mighty Acts of God: The 153 Fish of John 21:11
http://magnaliadei.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-153-fish-of-john-2111.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. The 153 Fish of John 21:11. Scholars have long puzzled over why, in John 21:11, the miraculous large catch of fish is so explicitly counted out as being 153 in number:. Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although so many, the net was not torn. Ανεβη σιμων πετρος και ειλκυσεν το δικτυον επι της γης μεστον ιχθυων μεγαλων εκατον πεντηκοντα τριων και τοσουτων οντων ουκ εσχισθη το δικτυον. It would seem possible that th...
