THANK YOU.

Wow this is evil

“Homelessness in your town is plummetting. How have you achieved this?”

“We’ve started smothering the homeless people in their sleep!” 

“Wow!”

It’s evil regardless but thanks for pointing this out! Down syndrome is a spontaneous mutation that can occur in any pregnancy in any woman (though the risk is higher in older mothers). It is completely impossible to eliminate it from a population unless you simply murder every child conceived with it.

2018

I pray people enter your life who show you love—whether it comes in the form of strangers, friendships, or romance. I pray that you learn what it means to radically love others, AND yourself (please do not exclude yourself from love). I pray God shows you more each day what your purpose is, and that when He does, you’re open to doing what it takes to fulfill it. I pray you laugh more, and when tears come (which they will), you let them flow. I pray that when storms start forming in your life, you cling to Jesus like never before. I pray your faith is refreshed each day, and you fall in love with this life that God gave you. I pray for your joy and peace. I pray for you. Amen.

God’s plans for you are too big for you right now. Your present suffering is God stretching you, and preparing you to fit into the purpose your were created to fulfill. You are building muscle, your faith is growing steadily. Be patient, you are going to do great things.

Did you know…

Candles on romantic dinner tables were traditionally used to prevent prospective lovers from leaning over to steal a kiss before they were married

[bussmunchington]

If you want to kiss you must brave the FIRE

my dad told me “if a man cares about you, you won’t ever have to wonder how he feels, he’ll constantly remind you” and that really hit deep.

I have an idealized version of myself in my mind and she’s really pissed off at my life choices

Pope Francis inspired by Pope John Paul II to say rosary daily

“If I remember well it was 1985,” Cardinal Bergoglio wrote. “One evening I went to recite the Holy Rosary that was being led by the Holy Father. He was in front of everybody, on his knees. The group was numerous; I saw the Holy Father from the back and, little by little, I got lost in prayer. I was not alone: I was praying in the middle of the people of God to which I and all those there belonged, led by our Pastor.”

“In the middle of the prayer I became distracted, looking at the figure of the Pope: his piety, his devotion was a witness,” he continued. “And the time drifted away, and I began to imagine the young priest, the seminarian, the poet, the worker, the child from Wadowice… in the same position in which knelt at that moment, reciting Ave Maria after Ave Maria. His witness struck me.”

Cardinal Bergoglio added, in words translated by 30 Days magazine:

I felt that this man, chosen to lead the Church, was following a path up to his Mother in the sky, a path set out on from his childhood. And I became aware of the density of the words of the Mother of Guadalupe to Saint Juan Diego: “Don’t be afraid, am I not perhaps your mother?” I understood the presence of Mary in the life of the Pope. 

That testimony did not get forgotten in an instant. From that time on I recite the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary every day.

NYTimes: Lennart Nilsson, Photographer Who Unveiled the Invisible – an innovative Swedish photographer whose micro-cameras bared some of life’s previously impenetrable and breathtaking moments — most memorably a human embryo’s maturation from the instant a sperm cell fertilizes an egg — died on Saturday in Stockholm. He was 94.

“I am just a photographer who happened to be fascinated with mankind,” Mr. Nilsson said. His first collection, tracing the development of an embryo, was perhaps the most celebrated, appearing in Life magazine in 1965 under the title “The Drama of Life Before Birth”. (Additional photos)

Praying for Aleppo

Dear God,

Please help those people in Aleppo find refuge and please keep them safe. Lord, please help the people attacking them find their way back to goodness. Lord, I ask you to help all those families stay strong and get through this difficult time for them.

Amen.
