Monday, the Visitation which is such a Good news.
the first reading is from Zephenaiah, a lesser quoted propet who encourages the people to "dance and sing" "whistle and hum" "cry and moan" "ask and receive".
He then comments that the Lord will sing joyfully over the people at "glens falls" "coachella" "the engel connection" "festivals, he does not name one specifially.

Benedetta is quite close to the word "beata" which also in the bible is translated blessed. As we will recall, this is related to the A. beautitudes. B. rule of Justinian. C. habeas corpus. D. quare clausum fregit.

June 1st is the feast of Justin Martyr (and the Justin Quintet who encourage the people to dance and sing as Zephenia recommends.)
On the flip side of festivals we find blue funks, (such as the one promoted by the Queen Regnante and the one where Flo Rida never shows up in the gold bugatti to take you to the made men meeting or is it mad men),
In any case that's not part of this bible study--is it?. If bird dung can be part of the good news, nothing is excluded.
We have seen that birds are sometimes associated with angels, since both have wings, both fly, and both sing, and the Latin word for bird-AVE-is also the greeting of angel Gabriel.

Amazingly, people all over are talking about birds and ecological economics so hmm, we're not far off!
1.Which brings us to Tobit, what happened to him?
A. birds sang for him as they did for Juan Dieguito.

In paradise people do not marry for they are like angels. In fact I am not the God of the dead but of
the zombies. B. the vampires. C. the undead. D. the living.

The interesting thing about the story of Tobit is how the bird droppings and cataracts was the instigating factor that set the story in motion. Often, something we see as misfortune brings about something beneficial to us. DISCUSS

The feathers of the birds that had caused the problem to begin with

Did it hurt Tobit when Tobiah applied the medicine? A. yes but he used a local anaesthetic. B. Yes but he was glad anyways. C. No. D. The bible does not say.

WHen the people heard this they were delighted. DISCUSS.

THE WIDOW'S MIGHT AND THE SECRET OF THE KING.
First Friday and Saturday concern apparitions to Margaret Mary and the Fatima children regarding HEARTS, hearts pierced with swords, which is similar to the Eros/Arrow thing.
each apparition contains promises.
Tobit paid the angel Rafael A. nothing. B. More than you'll ever have. C. half of what he brought back from Rages in Medea (is that correct.) D. ten percent of the profits of the LLC. which is ZERO, ok?

Jesus changes it up by noticing a widow who gave
A. half of nothing and thats not even enough to get an espresso.

DONT PICK THAT ONE JUST TO BE FUNNY. AJJJAJAJAJ
Look there he said that widow gave A. More than Tobit. B. More than Caesar. C. More than Gates, Zuk, Jobsand Bezoz combined. D. ALl of above.
Because, continues God in his inestimable frankness, many rich people "devour widows homes" to show off their fake charity and put in large sums of dough.
Im thinking of Besos who is trying to wreck a country golf course near here to put up an ugly warehouse full of crap and smelly freight trucks transporting stuff no one needs paying slave wages to people who work three jobs a week, and killing wildlife and gardens, and he knows the town council need cash so yeah..how easy will it b for him so this quiz is over.
