Gentle reminder that you don't need to agree with someone to help them. Far too often I hear from people that they wouldn't help someone based off of their religious beliefs or which politician they voted for in the past. But that shouldn't matter when someone needs help. A person with horrible beliefs can be just as hungry and in need of food as someone who thinks exactly as you do. If you have the means of feeding them both, you've no reason to withhold charity from them.

Remember to take some time today to pray for the people that have nobody else to pray for them. Especially those that have nobody to pray for them because of their own words and deeds.
"It's not pink it's rose"
Oh 👏 my 👏 God 👏 someone 👏 hold 👏 my 👏 missalette
1. The concept of pink as a female gendered colour didn’t even exist until the mid 20th century, and while that may be before I or my priest were born, in the broader perspective of time it’s really really recent. Go back farther, it’s actually far more common to see “pink for male, blue for female”. But of course, fun fact, there’s nothing inherently make or female about any colour.
2. Ok, so say we’re going with this modern “pink is female, blue is male” nonsense. Why, though, is it chill for me as a woman, or any woman, to wear blue, but men wearing pink have to make self depreciating jokes about it? Is it because society thinks feminine things are inherently inferior or shameful for men to participate in?
3. Ok reroute but if I’m wearing a forest coloured cardigan its green. Ok? It’s freaking green. The guy’s jacket in front of me may be navy, but it’s navy BLUE. Rose IS pink.
4. Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Latin: rosado, rose, rosa, rosa, roseus. They mean pink. If I say “hola” to someone, I just said hello to them, even if in a different language. Rose is pink.
5. So why are you wearing pink? I can look it up, I will, but having been Catholic for 12 years in total I know off the top of my head: red is for the blood of the martyrs, white is for light and innocence and purity, etc. I know this because priests say it in their homilies. They inform their flock. But all I’ve ever heard on Gaudete Sunday, whether it be on American east coast, west coast, south, or in the UK, is “it’s not pink it’s rose”.
It’s pink. And it means joy.
IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN
It's very funny to me sometimes just how much some fundies and evangelicals still hate Catholics. Cranky because you took all the mysticism and fun out of Christianity aren't you? Sad that you don't get to consume the literal flesh and blood of God every week?
she's not wrong
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen on Twitter I’m dying
I hate to judge how others live their faith, but talking about what you are giving up for Lent unpromted is in fact impolite, improper, and uhmm against scripture.
Not technically accurate to the spirit of the scriptures. Matthew 6:16-18 speaks of not treating fasting like a hardship, not seeking attention that will reward your restriction. However, that does not mean that it is unacceptable to discuss faith or the normal practice of such faith in public spheres. In fact, in the modern world it is likely advantageous for all to see and hear of Catholics interacting with their faith over the course of normal life, as a counter to divisivenesses.
Tl;dr For sure you should not be whining to people about your fast for attention, and I’m sure that’s what OP had in mind, but it’s fine to talk about the things you are doing and care about to people.

Rare Sunday in Lent post to ask for prayers for a big, flyout job interview for the next two days. Getting this job can really help my family. If in your charity, you could spare the prayers, I would be very grateful.
