Dear Saint Patrick,

Can we please stop supporting employment during the Lord's Day / Sabbath Day? It inclined me to be reluctant to go to near any Mass for a while now, because i heard that some portrayers of the song were payed to portray during the worship. And though i try often to judge myself and to refine my ways and understanding, i noticed an embrace of hypocrisy that had me to question the goodness of some Teachers. And it troubled me considerably, because i truly hoped to do the right way on the right day, but i struggled to know who to trust regarding it anymore.

But when i applied at another Church building not too far away, to contribute and pray the songs through the instrument without earning, i received a hope of being contacted, and then waited, but was not contacted, and had even provided some copies of works i had tried to compose under circumstances that were not ideal (having being drugged for a long time, and forbidden from employment).

Additionally, a rumor regarding "confrontational" behavior" was started about me, of the day that i applied while speaking to one who portrayed at the organ, at that nearby Church. And i heard of this rumor, from someone unrelated, distant from the situation, regarding my application to contribute unpaid.

But it seemed unfair, because i remember presenting very politely, and even leaving more than others usually might, hoping to contribute and worship without earning. And it had me to wonder if they had started this rumor in order to keep their employment? But the Holy Commandment seemed against this (Exodus 20:9-11). It was troubling for me, and inclining me to feel a need to try to support those who try to contribute according to Holy Commandments, but who are ignored from their own Church, even if they have good intention. And after trying a few times to contact the people who manage it, through email, and waiting a long time, and receiving no response. Contacting Saint Patrick via his google thingamajig, began to seem somehow more appropriate.

Can you please also teach me to plant Food Trees and similar, so that i wouldn't need to rely on money? i haven't been taught how yet, and hoped to plant a Forest to eventually feed others and myself too, without earning. i was forbidden from employment several years ago, and hoped to live in a good way. But Marriage became difficult to achieve for me, because in these areas, Children were seemingly not taught to live their lives in a good way, but to compromise themselves and embrace to evil to some extents, in order to survive. And with this "disability" money, though i could use it to buy meals that were usually not fresh, and somehow stay alive, it was not enough to feed a Family. i became reluctant to approach a Female to become Married with. In the meantime i have become old, and received really contrasting advice even from seemingly friendly people, but a Priest had told me to get Married (but i hoped to be Married already - so it's PODWÓJNIE, or DOUBLE!).

There was some difficulty in the situation, so i tried to remember, that others had endured much more difficult situations in the past.

Many somewhat good things were said by Priests. But it seemed also important to try to be a good person (it's difficult, because who except Eloi is good?). Conscience is real, and it hurts to be put in a difficult situation. Why should one choose between starvation, or alternatively to embrace good diluted with evil?

Did Christ hope for all to starve? Probably not!

Can you please solve this within 7...

Highly recommended..beautiful place

In 1974 Pope Paul VI conferred the title and dignity of minor basilica on it. In 1986 Pope John Paul II visited the cathedral and addressed clergy during his Papal Visit.

The cathedral is built on a traditional east–west axis, with the altar at the eastern end, symbolising belief in the resurrection of Christ. The plan is in the style of a Latin cross, consisting of a nave with side aisles, transepts with side aisles, a sanctuary with seven chapels, and sacristies. Although its 103.6-metre (340 ft) length is marginally shorter than that of St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney, St Patrick's has the distinction of being both the tallest and, overall, the largest church building in Australia

History

In 1848, the Augustinian friar James Gooldwas appointed the first bishop of Melbourne and became the fourth bishop in Australia, after Sydney, Hobart and Adelaide. Negotiations with the colonial government for the grant of five acres of land for a church in the Eastern Hill area began in 1848. On 1 April 1851, only 16 years after the foundation of Melbourne, the Colonial Secretary of Victoria finally granted the site to the Roman Catholic Church.

Goold decided to build his cathedral on the Eastern Hill site.

Since the Catholic community of Melbourne was at the time almost entirely Irish, the cathedral was dedicated to St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

View of the main entrance to the cathedral

William Wardell, Melbourne's foremost ecclesiastical architect was commissioned to prepare plans for a cathedral, but the project was delayed by severe labour shortages during the Gold Rush of 1851, which drew almost every able-bodied man in the colony to the goldfields, and the foundation stone was not laid until 1858. An earlier building by stonemason David Mitchell (father of Nellie Melba and later partner of John Monash) was demolished for the cathedral. The cathedral was designed in the Gothic style of early Fourteenth Century, based on the great medieval cathedrals of England, a style at the height of its popularity in the mid 19th century. The nave exhibits 'curvilinear traceries' in the principal windows of circa 1300 to 1350s; the transepts have traceries in Geometric Decorated, a style of the immediately previous thirty years in England. The eastern arm with its chevet of chapels in the French manner is still principally in the English late Thirteenth Century style, giving the most complete essay attempted in that style during the Nineteenth Century. William Wardell was a remarkably ambitious and capable architect; he went on to design the second St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney in a similar style, even larger than St Patrick's, but with a completely English...

I had to delete my previous review to type this .( NOW PLS GOGGLE DO NOT COME AFTER ME thinking I AM THE REASON FOR YOUR FAULTS ! )

Who ever put me on to the test . If I can able to handle the MONEY or if I deserves or what ever , ( THAT EVERYONE OWES ME ANYWAY LOL , )

Mate u all are taking the wrong test lol (just like my previous so safe safe way)

What you really should test is the way I handle myself when I didn’t had NOTHING! when everything was taken / stolen from me , when they purposely made me look like I am crazy , ( thank god, your boss . When he created me he already created me little bit crazy, because at the end he got the last will . AS IT IS IN HEVAN AND ON EARTH) that I am not CAPABLE of making decisions or whatever they trying to prove to the HOLY POPE. When they send me mental health services to a person who is already fighting suicidal thoughts NOT TO HELP, just to abuse me , And after all how I mange to put food on the table for my son . Without even starting a cent , when I really should walk into to Woolworths TAKE ( NOT STEALING ) what we need. Because when lee did what ever she got paid to do so they knew I am a single mum .

One more thing no matter how they trying to justify no one justify removing a water meter from a single mothers property and had to live with out water for 5 days!!!

Thanks for letting me express how the way this county treated me and my son.

right every this moment there is a police officer talking to my son . Same police force that went under my sons blanket at 2am . Because my next door is the new police commissioner ( I don’t think even mr Shane will do that ) because she can send the cops and in one of my videos ( I took when Brunswick police department harassing us ) she Hanover her personal mobile phone to a police officer who is on duty wearing uniform. Because I am living my life and when I see any wrong behaviour or what ever that as a parent should correct (maybe the way I correct might not acceptable for the ones trying to judge my PARENTING) the way I correct . Wish parents of these people who judge correct them the way I do , so they wouldn’t be evil people like this. And clearly these people haven’t read the Bible , because Jesus said not to...
