A Prayer for Bridal Mystics

Beloved Adonai, our divine Husband, Wife, Bridegroom, and Spouse, nothing compares to Your presence. No power compares to Your glory. No love outweighs Your steadfast Love for us all.

Keep us close, our Lover, for life is empty without You. Our souls deeply thirsts for You. Our bodies are famished for You. Please do not turn away.

As we share this life with You, help us live the best lives we can in accordance to Your Will. Help us love our bodies, spirits and minds the way You do. More importantly, help us to love our neighbors as You love them.

On this night, hold us close in Your mighty arms, shower us with Your kisses, and hold our hands in times of trial as we seek refuge in You. Amen.

Screw it. I'm gonna say it. You are not sinning or stumbling by watching a horror movie. Horror movies are not your scapegoat for showing others why you're a better Christian than they are because you choose not to watch them. It is a film genre. It is a way to tell a story. You are not sinning because you wanted to try a scary movie.

You are not even sinning because you find a scary movie scary. Fear, because of sin, is natural to humans now which is why we need God. So no, the fear you feel because you were curious about a movie is not you stumbling or sinning.

You are sinning if your fear of a film genre and what you think it might do to you causes you to judge other Christians and their entire personal walk with God solely because they choose to watch that genre. If your fear of "demonic entities" attached to horror movies is causing you to yell at other people - other strangers - you see online because they watched some movie with the label "horror" on it (that you likely know NOTHING about), maybe you need to reconsider why it is you think God isn't able to protect them wholly from some demons allegedly attached to some goofy ass movie like Insidious. Your judgement of them is far more sinful, I think, than any fictional story they choose to investigate personally.

“What are the theological implications of using feminine pronouns for God?” there are none. It’s literally just because God is not male in his essence God is God. Using he/him pronouns for God doesn’t make God a man. Using she/her pronouns for God doesn’t make Gos a woman. Man and woman are social constructs and God is beyond all social constructs be they gender or sex or race or time and space. Theology does not change when you use she/her pronouns for God, nor when you use any other pronouns. It literally doesn’t matter. All language is metaphorical, all theology is approximate, all God-talk fits ill.

“Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister Bodily Death,

from whom no living man can escape.

Woe to those who die in mortal sin.

Blessed are those who will find Your most holy will,

for the second death shall do them no harm.”

— St. Francis of Assisi, The Canticle of the Sun, 13th c

Me smiling innocently with my head in Jesus' lap: What if you just call down fire from heaven to burn up-

Jesus, smiling: No.

[idylls-of-the-divine-romance]

Idk y’all I feel like my patron saint and his less cool brother had the right idea: our spouse should absolutely just call down fire from heaven to burn up cities and states that we don’t like. think of all the problems that would solve

Daily gratitude

I don’t have kids

I don’t spend money on nicotine

I don’t gamble my money away on sports

I’m not reliant on a chat bot for all my life functions

My books/CDs/DVDs collection is plentiful

“Who’s the patron saint of bad bitches is that like Mary Magdalene or something?” - My agnostic non church going former Protestant girlfriend who is so supportive but so confused by my Catholicism

[fierysword]

Very true! I would also add Mary as Empress of Hell and Terror of Demons, as well as St Marina (below), who also fights the devil. There’s also St Thecla. Many saints fall into this category, actually.

[fierysword]

You hyperfixate on Mary’s virginity because you think sex taints women.

I hyperfixate on Mary’s virginity as proving that women don’t need men to birth the divine into the world.

We are not the same.

[fierysword]

Isn’t it funny that misogynists never talk about the significance of a woman bringing God into the world, but they won’t let us forget the idea that God (not even man) made woman out of a man’s rib

Been seeing these memes a lot lately so I knew I had to make my own

"Yeah it's good to love someone, but it doesn't mean anything if you don't speak the Truth to them. To tell them they are wrong and they need to change in order to get right with the Lord."

Except when your so-called "truth" convinces you to reduce whole people into ideologies and what they do in bed, you're not speaking Truth.

When your so-called "truth" convinces countless youth that no one will ever accept who they are, you're not speaking Truth.

When your so-called "truth" drives up the suicide rate of queer people by up to 41% more than their cisgender heterosexual counterparts, you're not speaking the Truth.

When your so-called "truth" allows you to believe you and your church alone has the Truth, you're not speaking Truth.

When your so-called "truth" allows for people in power to take away the rights of queer people, you are not speaking Truth.

Saint Paul said that we will know them by their fruits and he included himself in that equation. If your beliefs lead to bad fruits like the ones I've listed above, then there is no substance to them but lies and deceit. Queer people are not the ones that need to get right with God.

I'd say I'm sorry to break it to you, but I can't apologize for speaking this truth forever.

Watched a documentary about abuse and advice one guy said to give children was, "Tell them that if someone is hurting them, to tell someone - and don't just tell one person. Tell as many people as possible, and keep telling as many people as possible until the abuse stops." and i really liked that

Bc so many ppl focus on the idea of telling A Trusted Adult, but even a well-meaning individual can fuck up and let abuse fall through the cracks or not know what to do

Whereas if a child tells LOADS of adults AND other kids, there's far less opportunity for an abuser to do damage control

Consistently telling their story and spreading it around disempowers the abuser to control and coerce the flow of information, or to utilise gaps and weaknesses in systems of reporting or welfare to isolate the child

Just really good advice. Not suprised I don't hear it more often.

i love saying that reciting the pledge of allegiance is against my religion and meaning it with my whole entire heart <3

christonationalism & christofacism, white supremacy, slavery, genocide, and colonialism are all a bloody stain upon Christ's name. the united states has always been a part of this stain, and all of these things— facism, oppression, genocide— thrive inside of it. There is no King but Christ. Earthly ruler’s have no claim, especially a ‘nation’ as drenched in blood as the united states of america.

If the church wants to reconcile with the people they marginalized, it is their responsibility to reach out, repent and abandon their privileged ways of thinking, not the other way around. This includes the LGBTQ+ community, whom they have demonized for their own supremacy. This includes the disabled and neurodivergent communities, whom they have neglected. This includes the Muslims and Jews, whom they have criminalized and then stole from. This includes the bipoc community, whom they have colonized and made to forget their own cultures in favor of their own white Jesus. This includes the women and afab individuals, whom they have taught to despise their own bodies in favor of prioritizing male comfort. This includes the poor, whom they have taken advantage of and told them their poverty is their fault. This includes the addicts and divorced, whom have been excommunicated for their disease and real life struggles. This includes the abused, whom they have taught to roll over and take it. If the church wants reconciliation, then its time they get their heads out of the clouds and face the hard truth of real life. It’s time they take the commands of their supposed Savior seriously. 

“Whatever you have done to the least of these, you have done to me.”
