Apps to talk and text for free

*eBuddy Messenger
For free text-based communication, eBuddy allows you to access AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Facebook Chat, GTalk, MySpace, Hyves and ICQ, keeping all of your contacts in one handy list. If all you want to do is be able to message your mates on the fly with push notifications to keep you updated, sound/vibrate alerts and emoticons, this will do the job — but if you want to personalise it with themes, you'll have to spring for the pro version. On the plus side, it uses accounts that you already have, so you have no need to build a new contact list.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

*WhatsApp
WhatsApp is a full message replacement app, offering free messages with the capacity to send photos, video or voice messages. It uses your contact list and automatically lists anyone who also has WhatsApp installed, which makes things easier too, and it includes the capacity for group chats. Just a heads-up, the iPhone version carries a one-off charge, whereas the Android version is free only for the first 12 months, after which you'll have to pay a US$1.99 annual fee. Mind you, that still works out a lot cheaper if you're a heavy texter …

For iPhone (AU$1.19)
For Android (Free)

*Viber
This one's still in beta for Android, but you can sign up at the link below. It's completely free, using 3G or Wi-Fi to connect you to other Viber users for free phone calls and text messages anywhere in the world. It also uses your current phone number to identify you, so you don't need a complicated sign-up or sign-in process.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

*Talk Out Mobile VoIP
As it says on the box, Talk Out uses VoIP to connect you for free via Wi-Fi or 3G to other Talk Out users. You can also purchase credits via a number of credit cards or PayPal for low-cost calls to non-Talk Out users worldwide via video or just audio.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

*IM+
This one's a bit like eBuddy, only with a few different messenger services, and you can customise the free version with wallpapers. You can send photos, videos, voice messages and text messages, or have a group chat — all for free via your GTalk, Yahoo, MSN, AIM, ICQ, MySpace, Twitter, Facebook or Jabber accounts, and a map feature allows you to see exactly where your friends are hanging out. You can, by the way, opt out of that last one.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

*Skype
Everyone knows Skype! This is Skype for your phone, with free Skype-to-Skype calls, video calls and text chat. You can also call or text anyone in your contact list using Skype's low-cost call rates.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

*Fring
Fring is another Skype clone, with free Fring-to-Fring voice, video and text, and low-cost calls rates to regular phones and so on and so forth. One thing Fring offers that other services don't, though, is four-way video chat between Fring users.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

Bear in mind that these services all use either Wi-Fi or 3G, and data charges may still apply.

Ave Maria......! Happy Birthday Mama Mary....... We love you....... Ave Maria...!

Mary is the supreme masterpiece of Almighty God and he has reserved the knowledge and possession of her for himself. She is the glorious Mother of God the Son who chose to humble and conceal her during her lifetime in order to foster her humility. He called her "Woman" as if she were a stranger, although in his heart he esteemed and loved her above all men and angels. Mary is the sealed fountain and the faithful spouse of the Holy Spirit where only he may enter. She is the sanctuary and resting-place of the Blessed Trinity where God dwells in greater and more divine splendour than anywhere else in the universe, not excluding his dwelling above the cherubim and seraphim. No creature, however pure, may enter there without being specially privileged. I declare with the saints: Mary is the earthly paradise of Jesus Christ the new Adam, where he became man by the power of the Holy Spirit, in order to accomplish

What is a martyr?

"Martyrdom is the supreme witness given to the truth of the faith: it means bearing witness even unto death. The martyr bears witness to Christ who died and rose, to whom he/she is united by charity. He/she bears witness to the truth of the faith and of Christian doctrine. He/she endures death through an act of fortitude." - CCC n. 2473 Martyrs do not just die for the Catholic faith. They live the faith before they become martyrs. Blessed Pedro Calungsod was endowed with the Christian virtues needed by saints and martyrs to live and to die for Catholic faith: Faith by making God the center of his life and his constant reference point. Not only did Pedro firmly believe the truths of the faith taught by the Church, but he also studied them thoroughly. His knowledge so affected his life that he volunteered to go to the missions with Fr, Diego. Hope that was rooted in his strong faith in God and fully alive with the enthusiasm of his youth. The vir
