St. Saint Mariam Thresia Chiramel

Mariam Thresia Chiramel, also called Mariam Thresia, was born Thresia Chiramel Mankidiyan, on April 26, 1876, in Kerala, India.  She died June 8, 1926, at the age of 50. Mariam Thresia was the founder of the Congregation of the Holy Family, a Catholic professed religious order of the Indian Syro-Malabar Catholics. Mariam Thresia had a spiritual reputation. She supposedly had regular revelations, many epiphanies, and acquired the stigmata. She had spent her entire life in missionary service advocating for rigorous obedience to her order’s rules amongst her fellow nuns.

Mariam Thresia felt called to God from a very young age and fasted and prayed to grow closer to God. For example, in 1891, she left her home to lead a life of penance in the hills but returned home after a change of mind. A local bishop ordered Mariam Thresia to be subjected to several exorcisms from 1902 to 1905. After 1904, she went by Mariam, believing the Virgin Mary had so instructed her in a vision.

 Facts:

• In 1905, she reportedly received stigmata— body marks, scars, and suffering in regions comparable to Jesus Christ’s crucifixion injuries, such as in the hand, wrist, and feet.
• In 1914, she founded the Congregation of the Holy Family and was the first superior of the order.
• Mariam Thresia ostensibly suffered a series of demonic attacks.
• In 1926 Mariam Thresia received a wound from a falling object which festered and proved to be a fatal condition due to her diabetes.
• They buried Mariam Thresia with her remains unwashed in accordance with her wish.

A little Nostalgia. It took three minutes for the TV to warm up. Nobody owned a purebred dog. When a quarter was a decent allowance? And made with real Silver! At the gas station you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels inside the box. It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents, and it was a drive-in restaurant with car hops. Teachers threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed...and they did it! When a 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car....to cruise, peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady. No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked. Playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game. And we did keep score. Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect strange. When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited the student at home. Summers filled with bike rides, Hula hoops, visits to the pool, and eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar. Candy cigarettes and wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside. Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles. Diners with table side jukeboxes. Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers. Newsreels were shown before the movie. Telephone numbers with a word prefix.....(Yukon 2-601). And, nearly everyone had a party line. Peashooters. Hi-Fi's & 45 RPM records and 78 RPM records. S&H Green Stamps and Blue Chip Stamps. Mimeograph machines and special paper. Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'? Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'Do Over!' 'Race issue' meant arguing about who ran the fastest. It wasn't odd to have two or three 'Best Friends'. Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a Slingshot. Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles. War was a card game. Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle. Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin. Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. If you can remember most or all of these, then You Have Lived!!!!!!! Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their 'Grown-Up' Life. I Double-Dog-Dare-Ya!

I CALL THE LOOK BUT DON'T MAKE COMMENTS. INDIVIDUALS.

MY QUESTION WHY DID WE KEEP THE SITE GOING?

Marie Gaines (Harris)

WE KEEP THE SITE GOING SO WE CAN HAVE CONTACT WITH OUR FORMER CLASSMATES.  SOME WILL LOOK AT THE SITE, AND MAKE NO COMMENTS.  SOME WILL COMMENT.  I WILL DO BOTH SOMETIMES, BUT I STILL LOVE HAVING CONTACT WITH OUR RHS CLASSMATES.  

KEEP IT GOING, PLEASE.

Cheryl Corazzi (Essex)

I try to comment as much as possible. I always enjoy the jokes and the dialogue that several of you guys carry on about golf, trips, and even some of the politics. It's important to stay in touch.

I enjoy the site and don’t comment as often as I should.  To many times, I check on post and don’t leave a message.  I need to work on that.  I wonder if it is feasible to combine other Roswell years, maybe 1960 thru 1965.  Just a thought.

Good morning! Our Grand Canyon train trip was filled with sites and the canyon is still so beautiful.

The elk are out the back door of our cabin.
