Nothing Like the Name of Jesus

Posted on Thursday, 8 August, 2013Sunday, 20 August, 2017 by Zheluo Cai

Reflection: Matthew 11:29; Philippians 2:10; 2 Thessalonians 1:12

There is nothing like the Name of Jesus for restraining anger, assuaging the swellings of pride, healing the wound of envy, restraining the course of wantonness, quenching the flame of lust, moderating the thirst of covetousness, and putting to flight all lasciviousness. For when I name Jesus, I set before myself the image of the Man, meek and lowly, kind of heart, sober, chaste, merciful, peerless in purity and holiness, and at the same time, the Almighty God, who heals by His example, and strengthens us by His help.

Bernard of Clairvaux (1090 – 1153)

Dark Slope Streaks Split on Mars.
Image Credit: HiRISE, MRO, LPL (U. Arizona), NASA. What is creating these dark streaks on Mars? No one is sure. It could be dust avalanches, evaporating dry ice sledges, and liquid water flows. What is clear is that the streaks occur through the light surface dust and expose a deeper dark layer. Similar streaks have been photographed on Mars for years and are one of the few surface features that change their appearance seasonally. Particularly interesting here is that larger streaks split into smaller streaks further down the slope. The featured image was taken by the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars-orbiting Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).

The Pataxó are an indigenous people with a population of about 11,800 individuals. They once spoke the Pataxó language, but now speak Portuguese. The Pataxó people live in several villages in the southern part of the state of Bahia and northern of the state of Minas Gerais. There is evidence that the village of Barra Velha has existed for nearly two and a half centuries since 1767. Tracing a history of contact with non-indigenous people that goes back to the sixteenth century and often forced to hide their customs, nowadays the Pataxó strive to enliven their language - the Patxohã - and rituals "of the ancient"
