Last night, I saw a program on PBS TV about the National Shrine of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in New Orleans on State Street. Many miracles are credited to Our Lady of Prompt Succor. Can Mary hear our prayers? The lady in the video gives the pertinent scriptures. The Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is in Haiti.
Incarnation (or The INCARNATION) means that God took human form in the body of Christ. The doctrine is based on the paradox that because God was incarnated in Christ, Christ was both fully human and fully God at the same time. For Lent, I am studying this much more deeply.
BTW, The Church festival commemorating the announcement (Annunciation) of the Incarnation by Gabriel the Archangel to Mary is held on March 25 (Lady Day).
How often have I driven on and parked on Annunciation St. in New Orleans from the Crescent City Connection to the uptown Walmart w/o ever making that miraculous connection in my mind?
GAZETTE (New Orleans) — When Mary accepted God’s offer to bear and give birth to Jesus (Conceptio Christi), the Word (of God) became one of us. God became “incarnate,” with a body like ours; hence the name Incarnate Word. Because of His resurrection, the Incarnate Word continues to dwell among us. The Resurrection is celebrated on Easter Sunday.
Conceptio Christi is a Christian holiday commemorating the visit of the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, where he announced that she would give birth to Jesus Christ.
Going back further, even unto the Old Testament, this boy (below) wants to know how people inhabited the earth.
His daddy had already told him that people multiplied from Adam and Eve.
I made a note for y'all in the below video. Follow me down this rabbit hole for a possible golden nugget.
This video shows me telling you something about the Easter time March 25th Feast of the Annunciation or Lady Day that I recently spoke about. I thought that I should share this with you. I mispronounced the Greek phrase Conceptio Christi. I will redo the video one day to correct my mispronounciation. Click:
Speaking of feasts, I have a question about the picture of the pan of deliciousness that is shown here.
Then, this next video (turn to page 2) shows me telling you something about a fine day that I had recently. I wanted to share that with you also.
Meanwhile, in the picture below, I am saying a Hail Mary for intercessory prayer ref: a pickup truck for myself which I need for roof work and other things. I am reminded of when quarterback Roger Staubach prayed a Hail Mary for what became known as the Hail Mary pass to defeat Minnesota with a long bomb in the last minutes of their playoff game in the ’70’s.
A thought from the past! My dad used to say:
My dad used to tell me similar words to Abraham Lincoln’s words below when he brought me as a youngster on house calls with him when he repaired TV’s and such as an electrical technician.
Later in life, some of the pretty young girls who saw me when I was on-call with my dad remembered me. They looked me up once they grew up so fine and lovely. Who knew that they noticed me when I sat silently in their living room or den? Thank God that my dad had taught me to SHUT UP.
Who are @OccupyDemocrats below alluding to who needs to remain silent in order to hide their foolishness? De Niro or Trump?
Arch Manning (Peyton's nephew) might start for Texas in 2024.
Reports say that current starter Quinn Ewers is not guaranteed the starting QB job next season if he comes back.
UPDATE: ⚜️ The Saints are confirmed to be sticking with Dennis Allen and Derek Carr (as expected) through at least next season, but all rumors point to New Orleans moving on from Pete Carmichael as the offensive play caller. Long overdue.
What I previously wrote: Am I the only one who sees it? It is not Derek Carr at all. It is the way the stupid coaches stick Taysom Hill in and out at QB totally disrupting Carr’s momentum. They should play Taysom like everyone else… in the conventional, professional football way. Carr (and #JameisWinston) are fine if you stop yanking them in and out for Taysom in the middle of their offensive series. It is juvenile and #bushleague.
How did I get my nickname Ferdie Werdie?
My grandfather Sidney Cates gave me the nickname Ferdie Werdie when I was about 5 yrs old and it has stuck ever since.
I also put the answer on Twitter about who gave me my nickname.

GAZETTE (January 1) – I wanted to say that I am studying the verse from the Scriptures that led me to say that I walk today by faith and not by sight. I am considering that this might be my New Year’s resolution for 2024: to walk by faith and not by sight all of this year. That is why I am studying this verse in order to draw up my blueprint on how to do this. I will say more later on, and take you on a visit down this rabbit hole with me. Why did I say this, and why am I studying this verse from 2 Corinth. 5:7?
Meanwhile.
The Assumption of Mary is the belief that the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, was taken into heaven at the end of her life, body and soul. This is the glorious fruition which began when the Lord sent the Archangel Gabriel to appear to Mary when she was a teenager.
When the Archangel Gabriel was sent to Mary by the Father, he greeted her, “Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with you” (Luke 1:28). Then, when Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth who was already pregnant with John the Baptist, John lept with joy inside of Elizabeth’s womb at the approach of Jesus inside of Mary. Elizabeth exclaimed, “Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb” (Luke 1:41-42).
The angel had said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
Luke 1:30-33
The Church affirmed the divinity of Jesus.
The Council of Ephesus, the 3rd Ecumenical Council, confirmed that the Virgin Mary was not just Christ-bearer as Nestorius, Patriarch of Constantinople, declared, but also God-bearer because Jesus was God and Christ. Thus, the council added the third sentence and created the Hail Mary prayer.
The Hail Mary
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
To this day, followers of the Patriarch’s declaration and many Protestants dishonor Mary and the divinity of Jesus by refusing to accept the Hail Mary prayer by such “God-bearer” believers even though the mouths of the Archangel and cousin Elizabeth declared these very words in the Holy Scriptures.
This reel below sings the words of the angel in Latin to Mary. AVE MARIA!

I was recently tickled to see that Popeye the Sailor Man cartoons were integrated.
I recently saw in a cartoon on TV that the show had a diverse cast. See a minority in the picture in the bottom row, left.

Abolitionist John Brown was executed on charges of treason, murder and insurrection on December 2, 1859, only 6 weeks after his arrest and October raid on Harper’s Ferry to free the slaves. Oh My, how times have changed with respect to speedy justice! The song below highlights for history the effects of Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry.
John Brown said that his punishment of death by hanging was unjust because he didn’t murder anyone and was being treated like he did.
I love verse 4 of the song.
John Brown was John the Baptist, of the Christ we are to see — Christ, who of the bondman shall the Liberator be; and soon throughout the sunny South, the slaves shall all be free. For his soul is marching on; Glory, etc.
Ferdie Delery (October 26, 2023) — I will post a quickie video here about a grocery basket rear-end, booty clobber (see below) with a clearer explanation coming soon. Then, I will notify y’all once the full explanation is published here. Thank you!
My Indian name is Sitting Wolf. I may have a tad bit of Indian blood in my roots, but I also have some French-Cajun ancestors who fought with Sitting Bull at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. As friends of Sitting Bull and the Sioux, they wore cuts from their Mardi Gras Indian costumes and blended in with the Native Indians. My Cajun ancestors were angry about how the Yankees had been carpetbagging in Louisiana after the Civil War. Similarly, the name Sitting Wolf was passed down to me likewise to what I explained in my article at DeleryGazette.com entitled King Farouk III. https://delerygazette.org/2020/11/02/king-farouk-iii/
About my ascendency to the throne of the ancient King Farouk Dynasty which I explain in the article, I succeeded Fuad II who was the ninth mystical ruler of the ancient Muhammad Ali Dynasty and am in the lineage of the penultimate King of Mount Zion per the Caribbean Sea.
Ferdie Delery (2023) — I have to write an explanation about my video above in which I tell about the grocery-line argument between me and a knucklehead. My video explanation does not do justice. It needs more words which I will link here once I write a deeper explanation.
She (cartoon below) wants to go as Eve to the Halloween party, but...
Coming soon! I will explain how Donald Trump "packed" the Supreme Court in order to begin his rise as dictator.
GAZETTE (March 6, 2024) — I was 9 months deep into the Civil War in my reading (in 2013) of the book LINCOLN, upon which most of the hit movie was based. President Lincoln’s Plan at that point concerning captured or run-away slaves was to ship them back to Africa or some place in a climate congenial to them.
This is what freedman Frederick Douglas intuitively said about Lincoln’s Colonization plan: “The president does not understand that the black man is an American with no desire to live elsewhere. His attachment to the place of his birth is stronger than iron.”

This is a preview of a chapter from my pending book.
by Ferdie Delery
It just dawned on me. Voila! I never knew! A big part of my psyche (ever since I was 21 years old) has been a deep, inner sense inside me of being a cast out. Why? Now I know. I don’t need “no” therapist. I can blame it on two music albums that I guess even my brothers and sisters remember. Which I will explain here.
For Christmas break from school in Baton Rouge in 1971 at LSU, I packed up my things and drove back to New Orleans to my mom and dad’s house. I walked into the house to the den with my bags and a big smile, sending my dad into a state of conniption. He and I have never, ever been the same loving father-son combo again. I quit LSU and Baton Rouge. Of course, I already had my B.A. from The U. of New Orleans. For Christmas break, I had cleared my LSU dorm out, moved the f*** out and was back in the arms of my loving parents. Good God Almighty! My dad surely thought that he had gotten rid of me. No! Ferdie’s back!
I will explain more, but let’s fast forward for now to after the holidays when no one but me and my mom were left in the house alone during the day. My dad was at work and my brothers and sisters were at school. The major malfunction was that I brought back home with me from Baton Rouge two popular albums at that time. They were MERCY, MERCY ME by Marvin Gaye and the sound track of the movie SHAFT by Isaac Hayes starring Richard Roundtree. I loved the albums and played them unmercifully every day from morning until my dad got back home from work.
The relentless music drove my mom to distraction. One day, I got home from out and my dad had broken up my record player and albums; he turned into the monster of Frankenstein. By the next day, I had scoured the newspapers and found myself a lovely little apartment for $65.00 per month. Remember the times I was in back then with reference to the rent amount. Anyway, my psychic health and well-being have never been the same since. That despicable “son-of-a-gun”!
(To be continued). Of course, I will write more of this chapter later. Thank you!
