Church of Villedieu-les-Roches (the name of Villedieu-les-Bailleul was given to the town in honor of the Lord of Bailleul) is built on a rise of black rocks and gray, a shallow trenching, about thirty yards wide hundred and fifty in length, from the church and elongates in the direction of Coulonces and Bailleul, surrounded by huge granite masses who are raising their heads overhanging mixed. Near these rocks is a sort of cave whose entrance has been narrowed by the work of time or by the hand of man.
According to legend, a snake that lived in the cave walls of diamonds and gold. He came out from time to time to go swimming in a lake nearby after which he traveled the countryside in search of prey. When hunger pressed him, he was hasty, because the monster was nothing less than a many-headed hydra. The inhabitants of Villedieu and surrounding countries were exhausted in vain lamentations, yet the desperation inspired the discovery of a means of salvation. They conceived to bring to the entrance of the cave a large tub full of milk, they had met at the public expense.
The monster seemed satisfied with the arrangements which were to innocuous submission. Peace and security are restored first. But one day, either by omission or by powerlessness, people Villedieu failed to provide their host its usual ration. Our snake for some time, did not sufficiently strong to support a flesh long fast, set off, spurred by both the hunger and revenge. A young man having remonstrated on his way, he devoured it. Nephew of Lord of Bailleul, he was also beloved vassals that his uncle was hated. However, Lord of Bailleul, despite its hardness is well known, was deeply grieved at the death of his nephew, and he swore that the day of retribution would not be expected.
From monster tyrant war turns quickly, but the one planned Baron Bailey asked for some necessary preparations. The cunning Lord began the attack by a well-calculated stratagem: he did file two sheep at the entrance of the cave, and, again, fill the tank where the dragon drank, water-of-life instead of milk. It devoured the two sheep, appreciating that the lesson to the people of Villedieu produced such fruits, and then he fell asleep in the intoxication of success and tank water spirits he had emptied. The time had come for the Lord of Bailleul ensure its revenge; new Hercules dons his armor, stronger than a lion's skin, his long sword is a club.
He walks to the cave, surprises the sleeping monster, he strikes a blow so terrible that he thrusts his head principal. But it proves quite formidable even to engage in mortal combat: the enemy is blinded by vomiting flame that throws him in the face, and Baron de Bailleul any fearless he is, back in dismay. No sooner is he out a terrible crash was heard, as if the earth would crumble under the fury of the reptile rocks Villedieu burst everywhere and litter the plain enormous projectiles, lava dripping invades Lake, then, the commotion subsided, and silence was restored on the scene of disaster.
The next day, the vassals of the Lord of Bailleul came trembling this desolate place: they found the charred body of the Baron in his armor, and happier than they would have dared to hope, they saw issued at the time of the two monsters who tyrannized the snake and the Baron.
Galeron, which also tells the legend, has diversified into some details from the story of the locals. Here is a curious circumstance of this new narrative. When the Lord of Bailleul is proposed to go and fight the snake, he was covered in armor tin, and did the same with his horse. Barded and he advanced to the dreaded cave. At its meeting on the dragon, horse smote his enemy blows strong enough that losing it became certain, but the monster in excess of its fury, vomited flames so that the horse was suffocated. To make matters worse the horse in his fright, having come to turn the hairs of its tail, which we had not taken shelter under the armor like the rest of the body, in kindled an instant, and animal, and that he wore, were entirely consumed.
hole of the snake has no great depth, but it ensures that he once stretched for miles round about the same field, and it is said that still resonates with every step, from different points of the campaign. There is no doubt that the cave is advancing on all sides, and it ensures that it holds great treasures. Galeron also gave a special interpretation of this legend. According to him, she recalls a struggle between religions. Among the boulders, it is a very eminent rising above the mansion of the lord. Other fragments appear scattered remains of ancient dolmens broken symbols of pagan worship. A few hundred yards away on the rock, Villedieu is the church, whose name reveals a Christian consecration. The snake might be a picture of profane worship, the girl, according to this new tradition, were delivered to the dragon to devour, would be a horrible memory of sacrifices the knight, a symbol of religion triumphant.
The scholarly tradition is close to the Fowey estuary, near the famous Stone Tristan, at a place called Castle Dore , broad retrenchment of the Iron Age which probably experienced periods of occupation later, the residence of King Mark, whose legendary historical figure has many points common with that of Count Comoro, the latter, according to Gregory of Tours, exercised its power in Britain in the mid-Armorican VI th century.
It's in the vita of St. Paul Aurelian, written in 884 by Uurmonoc, found the first evidence of a positive identification between Marc and Comoro, identification confirmed indirectly to 1070 by the biographer of St. Melara, situates in the Lanmeur Boissiere, the residence of Count Comoro, yet close to the Boissiere, we find the toponym Rumarc, "the mound of Marc, who has kept the memory a tomb or a mausoleum designed to perpetuate the memory of this powerful character. However, it is stated in the vita Paul Aurelian as the mortal remains of Marcus Comoro rested near his home island, which Uurmonoc we kept the name, Banhedos , which means something like "height deer .
The name Castle Dore, known since John Leland ( Castledour ) seems, too, refer to a place populated by deer, since Deor means "deer" in Saxon, but it ' is the ancient name of the place , Dirford , transmitted by William of Worcester , which confirms that we have to deal with Banhedos . For Dirford is here to Durfold, deorfald in Saxon, which can be translated easily enough by "the park at (x) deer (s)".
Christian Thought: "You shall judge more severely Christians infidels until the world judge the churches that resemble"
Here is a Christian thought that God put me in my heart for my friends in the Net:
You shall judge more severely Christians infidels that when the world deems
churches that resemble
"Those who say 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the e kingdom of heaven,
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven "(Luke 7: 21)
Send this prayer to Him before whom we must all realize what we have done is in our body:
Lord Jesus Christ, no one escapes your decision because we all have to account to you on the last day of what we have done good or evil is in our body. You are love, truth, peace and justice. You judge fairly and thou canst not bribe per person. You paid each according to his works and you can not go wrong to treat the pain in good or very bad. You shall judge more severely Christians infidels until the world judge the churches that resemble it. Lord Jesus Christ, you who called me at your service and you gave me a vision to accomplish the work to which you called me. I try with your support let me drive by you, listening to your voice through your Holy Spirit you do sit in my heart to guide me and obedient to your voice after receiving the light that you give me in Your Word, the Bible . T obey, because your heart is happy for you, obeying your word is better than sacrifice. You disobey tantamount to idolatry. Therefore, before you spend everything for me and I want nothing will supplant thee in my heart. This choice I do, that my enemies become numerous because each wants to control me, put me under his yoke, I see him defend his system and obey without question even if it would put me in door-to odds with you, my God, who is entitled to such control over my life. I'd rather die than see someone or something to take control of my life outside of you Lord Jesus Christ who have paid the ultimate price to redeem myself from the slavery of sin that I thine own. Therefore, I can not become a slave of person you, Lord Jesus Christ, whom I serve in freedom, because you're not a master who is a tyrant. I am glad your heart, oh! My God. To you we are all accountable for our lives and our actions for good or evil. And no one will escape your decision. This day you will do your sorting and does not deceive you for taking the false instead of true. That's why you address this warning to all those who claim to follow you when you use that: "Those who say 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but this one who does the will of my Father in heaven "(Luke 7: 21). Your true disciples and your true servants you know them and distinguish them from false and you will do the sorts of the last day. That day, they will differ naturally, such as iron meets in the presence of loved while the other drinks that can respond to the prompt loved him. Lord, my determination to serve you and obey you before everything is put to severe tests. I have to do with stiff opposition from the infernal enemy of your work. As in the days of Nehemiah, in the Bible, this raises many enemy Sanballat many Tobiah, and gives them many allies to help them achieve their ends to prevent your work to succeed in our hands and we see continued success. But you, Lord Jesus Christ, you strengthen us and you allow us to continue the work against wind Marras, despite the opposition. As Nehemiah and his community, you give us teams and leads us to work day and night to accomplish your mission, but not with physical weapons and human, but with spiritual weapons defensive and offensive, because our enemy, who armed himself up 'teeth, we are fighting with insurance to defeat, is not physical but spiritual though uses human beings to conduct maneuvers on land (Nehemiah 3 :33-4: 17; Ephesians 6 :10-18). Lord our God is upon you that we intend, you the master of our life and work you entrust us to do. You have already defeated Satan, our enemy hell by your death on the cross and resurrection and victory over you share it with us, because it is in your army you have joined us. By your resurrection from the dead, you have inflicted irreversible first ruling against Satan and all his army that will recover again. In our fight with him today, we rely on your victory already gained and we say that Satan is already defeated, he and his army, for you Jesus Christ. And for this reason, they can not touch us because we're under cover of your name and your blood and we share the victory of resurrection Lord Jesus Christ. You allow us to realize in you, that life triumphs over death, as truth always eventually triumph over falsehood no matter how long it might take. Yes, with you, Lord Jesus Christ, you allow us to realize that hope is correct not and is stronger than despair, because when you get up to do your justice no one can resist you. Your justice is stronger than humans and triumph over the lies that humans can turn into truth and triumph over the corruption that makes some people blind and dumb because the slogan of corruption is "eat-and pillowcases you ". You, Lord Jesus Christ, nobody can hurt you because you enough for you to yourself and besides, you're the Righteous and Integrates the degree of perfection. Lord you know everything because nothing goes unnoticed in your eyes and you judge with justice and truth. Therefore, I make you fully trust. Those who have formed a design to hurt me, some of whom say they drive to cut the roots of a large baobab they say they are determined to uproot want (without cause) to make him fall and erase his memory forever the face of the land of the living, then they all came to find the baobab in the place where God made it grow and grow, they forget that this "great baobab" falling may fall on some of the ones who are trained to cut, where in any case, may fall on, smaller trees, which enjoyed its shade and its destruction would put the birds in mourning for their private reference tree where they liked to hide in full safety. Those who decide to shoot the baobab tree by cutting its roots, also forget that without God's permission, which is what grows baobab He has also helped him become a great baobab tree, the ones who now want to uproot this great baobab tree to make it disappear will not get their way no. Them to identify me with some great baobab tree, and say that their plan is to uproot me, to ruin me by destroying my department, all the strategies they use to "cut my roots" as some of them the 'say. Yet I do not imagine not be a baobab tree, much less a large baobab tree. I think I'm only now, through the grace of Almighty, a green olive tree planted in the house of God and who trusts in the goodness of God, a vine that the Lord darling, cares for and jealously guard (Psalm 52: 10,11; Isaiah 27 :2-5). Even if I was a big baobab tree as some of them and say they are determined to uproot and eliminate at all costs by closing their eyes and ears not see the bleeding of the baobab and not hear her cries of pain: Pity, stop! Pity, stop! They then understand that I am a baobab tree planted by the Lord God who is the owner. Therefore, Lord, you've decided that the more they flocked to unfairly cut the roots of the baobab tree, the more the Creator of the baobab tree will grow new roots to support its baobab and allow him to push even more of its main root faith in his Creator in the depths of the Rock steadfast to the water Water of Life which will enable the human baobab, also created in the image of God, to receive all the spiritual resources, physical and material resources to continue exist on the land of the living and to be living witness of the wonders of the living God and to generations to announce the ups and blessings of the Lord (Psalm 7 :9-18, 21 :12-14, 103 :1-6). For some, it must at all costs to remove the baobab tree because it hinders their conscience by his arrest and his incessant reminders for what is right and fair, good and acceptable and what both to the perfection. For them, it is necessary that the baobab disappears to allow them to do whatever they want with complete freedom and without any problems arise in consciousness as if the Bible and the Holy Spirit would cease to exist on the land of the living and as if their conscience would remain after the removal of dead baobab embarrassing. So they are desperate to achieve their purpose of destroying the baobab and being unable to uproot it by cutting its roots they tackle to cut its too using every tool at their disposal for this purpose and by being help from stronger as the world and conditions of this world to remove their baobab embarrassing. However, if the baobab genes, they should simply work around the construction of their Boulevard of free movement without code by road and train them in this world who do not want to become attentive to God or enlightened by the wise He does not fail to place in his church that goes beyond the borders of a country. They forget that the baobab tree, even cut in its trunk, can repel reject, and why not put it off by means of its roots that extend deep into the ground if divine providence also allows him to expand his horizons by through the example of the cedar of Lebanon which the Bible praise both for its multiple benefits and ability to withstand all kinds of weather and its ability to drink more trees around her roots for her innate gift of multiply by means of its roots. The cedars of Lebanon, like baobabs in Africa are entitled to the protection of all and we do not need to be an environmentalist to know or recognize. But they have forged fabricated conspiracies that are now reached maturation and are about to run off and pushing with all their might to bring down the baobab who knows them so well and that their has done so much too, are well decide to drop their baobab and then make his funeral in less than one who grows the baobab and that help to become a great baobab baobab intervene in its sovereignty to break all their sleeves and make dry or broken their bulldozers. Lord Jesus Christ, you know the whole arsenal in place to destroy one of your creatures that you love, you've saved and you have used your service to bring so many people to your knowledge some of those who do want to see today that Minister of your Gospel. Lord Jesus Christ, you see them push it into the pit dug by some of them in the darkest nights for years and they try to bury him alive as of today in broad daylight in the pit, without showing any gratitude and in full view of everyone. In addition, they seek to be approved in their designs by people they want to win their case by using all the means of the same dubious and looking even if it were possible to interpret human laws in their favor or simply to condemn their victim by default to avoid the transparency of facts and a good reading of the law, and they think and make you a service as if it is the mission you have entrusted to your Church. They forget that God sees everything and He is the lawgiver par excellence and it is his Word, the Bible , all the best laws in the world who are human rights to which all subscribe nations of the world, their sources, and this ultimate legislator could not accept his word and donated his divine decrees governing the human and social relations are trampled by those who claim to be custodians, guardians and advocates for no one is above your decrees are immutable and every human being you must realize one day, even one who claims to be the strongest in this world because you gave him the privilege to receive a parcel your power you it has provisionally delegate. They also forget that they force their victims to push for to fall into their abyss, closing their ears to his pleas to let him live, they are likely to fall themselves with their victims in the pit they have dug their own hands and better, the Lord the Righteous Judge and the Almighty, in His providence may, after hearing the screams of their victim, who is his beloved, has decided to come to his aid to rescue them from their hands and make their escape and net leave them, them being swallowed up in their own abyss (Psalm 9: 16.17, 69 :1-16, 103: 4, 124 :1-8). Lord Jesus Christ, you want to see us live your life of love, forgiveness and Peace. Serve you is to live your life and you connect with those around us. Christianity does not vomit on the pulpit of churches where training rooms where biblical theology, Christianity is daily life in the practical realities of everyday to be convincing because it is not theoretical it is dynamic. True Christian faith is the Christian leader and Christian role models for those around them and before the world is watching them live what they say they believe and preach and teach. Being a Christian is to be your disciple, Lord Jesus Christ. Your disciple represents your Gospel and breathes the values of your life to sweat the virtues of your Kingdom and your perfume and thus spread the fragrance of your knowledge in this world. All those who call themselves Christians but most embody the nature of the Devil as your virtues and vices that spread from hell instead of spreading the oxygen in your heavenly kingdom on earth, you judge them harshly for having distorted tone Gospel by refusing to live in an integrated fashion to make you understand the real world. Already claimed the Psalmist your trial for these false believers when he says: "O God, do not remain in the Silence! Do not keep quiet, and do not rest, O God! For behold, your enemies are those who hate you raise your head. They are your people cons projects full of trickery, they deliberate and cons that you protect those ... because they say: let us seize the homes of God! My God! Make them similar to the vortex, the stubble before the wind ... cover their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Lord! ... Let them know that you alone, whose name is Jehovah, thou art the Most High over all the earth! "(Psalm 83 :1-4, 13, 14, 17,19). Lord thou art indeed the God of love and grace, but when you get up to judge thy people and corrupt rebel, your decision is harsh and irrevocable unless you finds time here in this world a sincere repentance on the part those who are guilty before you and who have disgraced your holy name. When you judge, you rise in your splendor and your majesty, you close the mouth of scoffers, You abase the proud and you dipping their greatness (Psalm 50 :16-23, Isaiah 2: 10,11). You remember all that you're the one who is trustworthy and that the human being is a blast and the value of its treasures is null your eyes (Isaiah 2: 22). One day a man must leave everything and come face to face with you for the great and last trial. This day will include several at their expense the value of your precepts they will be trampled in their body on earth. When they are before thee, that thou judges, they will be there without advice, because no lawyer will be there for human hearing and you the only true Christian lawyer before the Father, you turn to them not a lawyer, judge but to try and give everyone the salary paid by his works. At your trial will be public, nobody can access corridors to want shortcuts try to hurt you, you incorruptible. You are the creator of all things and everything is yours and you can not miss anything or feel like these things because you are perishable perfection. Besides, nobody could bring him in the afterlife these things that have no value there: no gold bullion, no diamonds, no suitcase full of banknotes. No room for speculation and corruption. It's time for the truth to you who is the Truth, the All-Sufficient, the Incorruptible, the Almighty, that is before you Light and that there is no shadow of turning. You are perfect integrity, the Righteous Judge to render true justice and return to their rights all those who have been bullied or suffered miscarriages of justice in this land of men where corruption is most often disappointed because the integrity of the Devil who is the father of lies and which dominates the kingdom of darkness in this world (Psalm 52 :1-10). On the day of thy judgments, Lord Jesus Christ, those who have chosen to live in integrity on this earth walking in your footsteps, who have kept your instructions, which are excluded from all unrighteousness and that you one sought with all their heart, they will rise to your sun of justice, you students, you will be comforted, they will be happy with you forever because you have your promulgated decrees to be respected with care and you reward those who walk in your ways (Psalm 119 :1-4). Thank you Lord for this blessed day of great consolation to be for others a day of great mourning. I bless thy glorious name forever. Amen! .
