Saint Gerard Majella

St. Gerard Majella, he was very religious, is the patron (guardian) of expectant mothers. He was born at Muro, Italy, in 1726, becoming a professed lay brother in 1752. He worked as sacristan, gardener, porter, infirmarian, and tailor. However, because of his wisdom, and his gift of reading consciences, he was permitted to counsel communities of religious women. This great saint is a patron of expectant mothers as a result of a miracle effected through his prayers for woman in labor. He died in 1755 due to tuberculosis  at the age of 29.

Fall of rome

Summarize the reasons for the fall of Rome. In your opinion, which reason(s) was the most important and why?

Geography 

Because of the way Rome was shaped (donut), around the Meditiranean, they were unable to trade, and the barbarians could use it as an advantage to attack the west coast

Economic Decline

The army and government grew rapidly they needed to get paid and as the taxes went up so did the prices and the taxes so the wages went down, and Rome could not afford new items.

Growth of the Government

Government demanded more government officials, used it to get rich, civil wars broke out, a lot of resources and money were lost.

Decline of work force 

Increase of deaths through out the city, less work, less food, high taxes higher prices for food, poorer wages, which only leads to wars and revolution.

Military Defeat

No longer strong enough to defeat the barbarian army.

In my opinion the Roman empire declined was because of the growth of the government, to much cheating and fraud that let to war and less resources, also the decline of work force, people decided not to work which means that the government wouldn't function and the economy failed because of that, its like they say: money makes the world go, round and round.
