Mother Mary, softener of most hard and cold hearts. Soften my heart and replace these envious words in my heart and head with ones of understanding and kindness

hey tumblr. what’s up. i was wondering if you need a christmas gift this year for your religious friend or cool grandmother. i worked on this for almost two years and just finished it. it’s a full Catholic liturgical calendar. it’s done in the traditional latin mass style, so it uses the older dates / names / observances. i made the font(s) for it, laid it all out, this easily took me hundreds and hundreds of hours. it’s also the largest thing i’ve ever made - the full print is two feet by three feet, or it comes in four 12x18 quarters. it’s in my shop at: https://owen-cyclops.myshopify.com/collections/calendar

or if you want to see reviews and stuff (i have many), here it is on etsy:

i’m just a guy who runs an art studio, so my favorite feedback is about people giving this to others as gifts. it’s cool to participate in other people’s lives in some meaningful way. hope your november vibe is unfolding well.

Suzanne Hiatt, right, two of the 11 Episcopal women irregularly ordained in July 1974, celebrate the Eucharist at the Church of the Messiah in Woods Hole, Mass., Cape Cod’s oldest Episcopal church, on July 20, 1975. The two women, both faculty members of the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass., conducted the service against the wishes of Bishop John M. Burgess of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts.

“The Firstborn of All Creation”

The cosmos flows from Christ's side, culminating in the Monstrance, the divine mystery of the Eucharist, through which we are invited to participate in holy union with Him 🌞

There is something so beautiful about queer Catholics and even queer people in any religion who are so devout despite people telling us we are a sin and damned. And yet, we still worship. And yet. And yet. And yet.

in regards to Pope Francis' passing, i need you to be brave. we must hold onto hope. it is all we have. we can't allow anticipatory grief stifle us. we must trust God, we must trust in the mission Pope Francis spent his entire papacy building. NO DEFEATISM. NO FEAR-MONGERING. NO DOOMER SHIT. DO YOU HEAR ME?

our faith is that of an empty tomb. hope when all hope seems reckless, naïve, purposeless. never lose heart.

I shall pass through this world but once, any good thing therefore I can do, or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now, let me not defer it or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.
