Just a little senseless mini-rant. There is a saint in the Catholic Church. Her name is Saint Therese of Lisieux. Answers.com tells us that the correct pronunciation of her name is Thé·rèse de Li·sieux (tā-rĕz' də lē-zyœ')
Just for your information and edification, it is NOT pronounced Luhsoo, or Luhsue.
*Sigh*
End of rant from a Catholic who took French in High School.
Hat tip to Lifeisgreat for reminding me to link an audio pronunciation of St. Therese's name! Click here to hear it yourself!

Birth year Meme
Southern Conservative has a cool meme on his blog. Basically you go to YouTube and type in the year you were born. For me, that's 1961.
JFK's Inaguration in January
This is an interesting clip of a French rock group, Les Chaussettes Noires singing Le Twist.
And, finally, an old RCA commercial for the "new" remote control TV.

Lyrics to French song
Below are the French lyrics to the song in the YouTube video in the post below this one. Unfortunately, we do not yet know anything about what CD it might be on.
COURONNEE D'ETOILES
Paroles : A. Dumont
Musique : Marc Dannaud N°14-10
Nous te saluons,
Ô toi notre Dame Marie,
Vierge Sainte que drape le soleil
Couronnée d’étoiles, la lune est sous tes pas
En toi nous est donnée
L’aurore du Salut
1 - Marie Eve nouvelle et joie de ton Seigneur,
Tu as donné naissance à Jésus le sauveur.
Par toi nous sont ouvertes, les portes du jardin
Guide-nous en chemin, étoile du matin.
2 - Tu es restée fidèle,
mère au pied de la croix,
Soutiens notre espérance et garde notre foi.
Du côté de ton fils, tu as puisé pour nous,
L’eau et le sang versés qui sauvent du péché.
3 - Quelle fut la joie d’Eve lorsque tu es montée,
Plus haut que tous les anges, plus haut que les nuées,
Et quelle est notre joie, douce Vierge Marie
De contempler en toi la promesse de vie.
4 - Ô Vierge immaculée, préservée du péché,
En ton âme en ton corps, tu entres dans les cieux.
Emportée dans la gloire, sainte reine des cieux,
Tu nous accueilleras, un jour auprès de Dieu.
And now, an English translation by Erin (from the NFP board).
We hail you,
Oh Our LadyMary,
Holy Virgin clothed with the sun
Crowned with stars, the moon is under your feet
In you we are given
The dawn of salvation
1 - Mary New Eve and joy of your Lord,
You have given birth to Jesus the savior.
Through you the doors of the garden are opened to us
Guide us on the way, morning star.
2 - You stayed faithful, mother at the foot of the cross,
Sustain our hope and guard our faith.
From the side of your son, you have drawn for us,
The water and the blood that saves us from sin.
3 - Such was the joy of Eve when you were lifted,
Higher than all the angles,
higher than the clouds,
And such is our joy, sweet Virgin Mary
To contemplate in you the promise of life.
4 - Oh Immaculate Virgin, preserved from sin,
With your soul and your body, you entered the heavens.
Brought in glory, holy queen of the heavens,
You will welcome us, one day in front of God.

Notre Dame de la paix
This YouTube video entitled Notre-Dame (Our Lady) is an entrancing combination of beautiful pictures of Our Lady along with haunting music sung in French.
A perfect ending to my otherwise hectic day.
I must find the CD with that music on it--and an English translation.
Light a candle and watch this video.

French Wisdom
This sticker was spotted on a DaVinci Code poster in France. It translates as: No to Anti-Christian Revisionism. I can only add: absolument.

France and French
I am going to France in October to see my aunt who is a Petite Soeur des Pauvres, or Little Sister of the Poor. She is celebrating her golden jubilie as a sister. She has been a nun away from her home country for longer than I have been alive. Hard to contemplate.
To me, her life vividly illustrates Jesus' words in the Gospel of Saint Matthew.
She certainly has done that.
In my frantic search for anything to help me brush up on my high school French, I have discovered a Catholic Blog written in French! It's called Approchons-nous de la Table... which means We Approach The Table.
A site like AltaVista's Babel Fish can help you translate anything you can't read in French. Very helpful in translating one's English replies into French, too!
To me, her life vividly illustrates Jesus' words in the Gospel of Saint Matthew.
Matthew 19:29
And every one that hath left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.
She certainly has done that.
