this sideblog was accidentally password protected until today so no one could see it ... and here I was wondering why no one ever interacted. anyway, with the start of the new liturgical year (happy advent, everyone!) interact w/ this post if you post catholic things & want a follow!
The saint for finding lost things.
I gotta say, reading about him is very humbling, born from a rich family, but became a saint for the poor.
I'm practicing him, 'cause I wanna make sure to give distinct looks with different saints.

Once I saw someone call Christ in the robe and crown of thorns “Christ the bridegroom,” and I vaguely remember hearing once that a lot of it resembles marriage rites of the era (for instance, a flower crown) though I don’t recall my source for that (W from St Anthony’s Tongue, perhaps). Anyway that’s all I think of when I see him like this: that’s my husband fr
Legal experts say employers must take AI-related religious objections seriously, as a 2023 ruling raised the bar for denying such accommodat
"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse," wrote Corey Quinn, a software-startup founder in San Francisco, on X.
Employers could wind up in court if they outright dismiss workers who request a faith-based exemption from using AI, said Ashley Herd, a former McKinsey counsel and head of North American HR who now advises managers and employers on workplace issues.
"Playing priest, and telling employees their request isn't legitimate, does not tend to bode well for companies," said Herd, also a cohost of the "HR Besties" podcast. "A jury doesn't like it when employees get made fun of by managers or HR."
Please pray for those participating in the hunger strike at Delaney Hall, an ICE detention center in New Jersey. Tom Homan, white house border czar, has gone on record that he plans to produce a court order to force-feed protestors. The people detained in the facility are protesting lack of food, most of which is already unsanitary to the point of being inedible, the lack of medical care, and brutality and abuse from ICE guards. I pray for the safety of the strikers, their freedom, and their families. I pray for the souls of the ICE members who enact this violence, and the politicians who legalize it. May God's divine justice and holy mercy rain down on them all. God have mercy, Christ have mercy.
You do not understand how the saints in Heaven can hear us when we pray to them? But how do the rays of the sun come down from the sky to illuminate the whole world? The saints are the same thing in the spiritual world as the rays of sun are in the physical. God is the eternal, life-giving Sun, and the saints are the rays of this spiritual Sun. Since the eyes of the Lord constantly gaze at the earth and its creatures, the eyes of the saints cannot but turn in the same direction as the providential gaze of the Lord of creation at the treasures of their heart (their bodies, works, holy places, and people devoted to them). "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matt 6:21). You know how quickly, how far, and how clearly the heart can see (especially objects of the spiritual world); you notice this is in all sciences, especially in the spiritual ones, where much is learned by faith only (i.e., through the eyes of the heart). The heart is the eye of human existence. The purer it is, the quicker, father, and clearer it can see. But God's saints have refined this spiritual eye, even during their lifetime, to the highest degree of purity possible for mankind, and after their death, when they have become united with God, through God's grace the limits of this vision become even more expansive. his is why the saints see very clearly, widely, and far; this is how they see our spiritual needs. They see and hear all those who call on them with their whole hearts--that is, those whose spiritual eyes are fixed straight upon them, undimmed by doubt. In other words, the eyes of the heart of those who pray meet the eyes, so to speak, of those to whom they pray. This is a mysterious vision! Those who have experienced this will understand what I am saying. This is why it is so easy to communicate with the saints! it is only necessary to purify the eye of the heart, to fix it firmly on a saint that you revere, to pray to him for what you desire, and you will receive it. What is God in reference to sight? He is all sight, all light, all knowledge. He is everywhere present, both in Heaven and on earth, and He sees everything in every place. "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good." (Prov 15:3).
My Life in Christ by Saint John of Kronstadt
Mönch beim Glockenläuten, 1863 by Caspar Johann Nepomuk Scheuren (German, 1810-1887)
"Greater possibilities for communication thus turn into greater possibilities for encounter and solidarity for everyone. If we were able to take this route, it would be so good, so soothing, so liberating and hope-filled! To go out of ourselves and to join others is healthy for us. To be self-enclosed is to taste the bitter poison of immanence, and humanity will be worse for every selfish choice we make."
-Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium
"See, Mother, I Make All Things New"
Everyone should try their best to befriend a saint. I just cried on the eve of my birthday out of gratitude for how good of a friend I consider Saint Dymphna. She’s seen me through the absolute worst of it and now that I’m better we’re still besties. Her intercession has changed me for the better and her friendship will last for eternity.
Thank you Saint Dymphna, for being with me on the verge of death, in my most blindingly wonderful moments, and when I’m complaining about washing the dishes. I will show you every tiny fish in every pond I visit and share every depressing microwave ramen meal with you until there are no more tiny fish and there is no more microwave ramen.
This is so beautiful, thanks for sharing!

remember the time you felt so loved by god? no sorry that wasn’t meant to be a question: remember the time you felt so loved by god. remember. hold tightly onto it. it will need to sustain you in the meantime. until the exile ends and we can go home. until we are repaid for the years eaten by locusts
