My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:)
Venerable Fathers in the Priesthood,
Future Confrères, God willing, in the Deaconate,
Men and Women Religious,
[Extending arms:]
Grace and Peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ [bowing:], and the Love of God..:), and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be..:) with you..:)
My Elder Brothers and Sisters in Abraham, I bid you Shalom,
Beloved Cousins from Ismā’īl, As-Salāmu `Alaykum,
Men and Women of Goodwill!
After two years of social networking, I am finally setting some time aside to begin posting blogs.The purpose of this first address is to discuss the rubrics for how to read and interpret what will be posted here. And, having said that, why don’t we take a look at them:
• I am Jeff Merisier dit Jeff le Bel, and I only speak as such:)
• This blog is called Sunday night Live with Jeff le Bel, but let it be said and let it be known that I do NOT a replacement for Father Benedict Greoshel Father Benedict Groeschel, CFR. And I will not post blogs only on Sundays. And so Monday Mornings Live could’ve well been the title, so could Wednesday Evening Live, as well as Friday Afternoon Live..:) I really wish I could post a recap of his on Monday mornings, but I just wouldn’t do him justice on an blog:)
• My blogs here will cover a wide variety of topics which reflect my interests, ranging from philosophy, sociology, anthropology, gynecology and of course, the queen of all sciences, theology. I will also have some social criticism, current events, and I’ll be sharing some recipes, health and beauty tips too—though I do not promise any of the two:)
• I would also like to take some time to address some of the things that I’ve either heard or overheard that require attention.
• Now I do not claim infallibility, I do not speak in magisterial We’s(1), and though a Catholic, out of my immaturity in the Faith, I still do not have the capacity to speak for the Whole Church on certain matters, or at least not yet;). So anyone who’s looking to form their consciences, or anyone whose goal is to miserably try to rebuke or repudiate the Church or any of Her time-tested and eternally true teachings, quoting me, Jeff le Bel alone simply will not cut it. Not to God, not to the panel members in an intelligent academic discussion, not even to me, Jeff le Bel:)For that, I encourage you to reference the Scriptures(2), the Catechism(3) and the teaching of the council Fathers(4) and I will do the same:)
• My blogs will be translated, if necessary, from its original language to any of the following (but not necessarily in this order): Kreyòl (Haitian Creole), French, English, I’ll take a stab at Latin, and, God willing in the years to come, who knows how many more will be available;)
• It is better if one is able to read the same posts in two or more languages, and I strongly suggest and encourage that they are read in the order of oldest to newest.
• If I’m deigned quote worthy (which I doubt;), please do it in context, in other words, do not pounce on one sentence without giving any attention to the one that precedes it and the one that follows it, and please provide a link that’ll lead your readers back to this blog and once they’re here, they can judge for themselves.
Comments, suggestions and are always welcomed, but they must be done in an orderly fashion. If there’s any opposition, I’m a reasonable guy, so I’ll treat every question, or comment that arises in a respectful manner. But if it is done otherwise, it won’t be given any attention from me, let alone an answer.So if I ever deviate from orthodoxy, that is to say the Scriptures and or Sacred Tradition, I ask that you simply take me aside and say, “Jeff, brother do you not see how (ta-da-da da-da da-da…)?”
And then I ask that you be patient as you wait for my reply. Responses will be given in chronological order or in order of urgency.I plan on having a monthly Q&A session, but that, of course, depends on your contributions, fears or indifference:)
Be on the lookout for more posts as I create more time to commit them to paper…
And no, Jeff did not lose his virginity overnight, silly;)
And besides, you pervs won’t get to know about it PLUS when the time comes, it won’t be lost: you cannot lose anything when you give it to the one (or the One) you love:)
