can you please pray for my mum who died of cancer 2 months ago. My dad and I are barely holding on and we feel so alone, especially since it has been long enough for people to stop checking in on us. I don't know how to keep living without her. I overheard my dad's coworker saying that my mum got ill because she must have been upset that I am queer. I know that is not true and that she loved me the way I am, but I keep thinking about it. Please pray for my mum to finally be at peace and free from suffering. Please pray for my dad to have people who will look after him when I am away at uni again in the autumn😭 thank you so much for listening
i am so sorry you have had to hold this grief and without much help at this point. you and your dad deserve peace and i am praying you can find it, or at very least comfort in each other and those around you. your mom did not become sick because you are queer, that is an absurdly cruel thing to say :( i am praying you, your mom and your dad all find peace. good luck at uni in autumn too, your community will get you through!
Divine Creation Flag: “God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation.”
By using this flag you pledge to dedicate your body as a temple to your own queer joy by participating in the divine act of queer becoming. You pledge to live in love, to love your queer siblings to the fullest of your capacity and most importantly to love yourself in your queerness no matter what outside forces try to tell you. This flag compels you to act in ways that further this self love whenever the opportunity is available.
Note: While this flag takes notable influence from my culturally Christian upbringing and some of my struggles around fear of a divine power, it is meant to be disconnected from a direct Christian god. This divine power flows to you from whatever source feels sacred to you.
The colors are picked from my blogs as I see them as sacred spaces dedicated to recording my queer identity.

i do truly believe in god because i am trans. not despite it, because of it. experiences among my fellow trans people have made me feel closer to the holy spirit than anything else. we feed each other, we share what we have, we dance and love together then we walk each other home. we cry and mourn, recover and celebrate and hope together. i have seen the face of Christ in people the USamerican church as a whole would discount immediately just because they turned grapes to wine and wheat to bread. i have never seen the idea of being the hands and feet of god on earth better exemplified than through my trans family. god bless us all and keep us, we deserve safety and to be so loved.
Enough with the white suburbia live laugh love style Catholic items I wanna see people get funky with it I wanna see replicas of relics and reliquaries on necklaces alongside a saint medal I wanna see punk patches I wanna see candles shaped like beheaded saints holding their heads I wanna see art where people aren’t just white frail europeans we have so much fun imagery people need to get creative with it
“How could Judas betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver?”
Guys we have Christians joining the military for a college degree. We see people betray Jesus for money everyday. If you are American you live in a country that betrayed Jesus for money and power.
This is not some foreign concept. It’s an action you see on the daily. There might even be a chance you have betrayed Jesus.
his story is probably the one I struggle with the most. this man betrayed his friend, but this was to fulfill that he would die unjustly. he was plagued with grief to the point of death for his betrayal, forgoing the money he was paid.
