Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

I already need another confession. I lied, I didn't give alms, I was desperate, cried about God not loving me and hurt myself.

Good start. . .

I do not get the point of Christian witches. Why do you need a cauldron and stuff? What can a "spell book" achieve a simple prayer can not? Why do you need sage to clean the house instead of byzantine incense?

Can someone please explain? I don't want to hear about the Catholic church is bad or "church" is exclusive or whatever.

I want to know why the practice is necessary to connect with God compared to traditional Christian practices.

Please share, I want to understand. . .

Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely

What really bugs me about the thread is not that it's about a cat who went to space and came back - but how people are arguing in the comments. A lot of people seem to think that there is no problem in killing an animal for scientific purposes. The whole endeavor of sending a cat to space and strapping it in, letting it be hit by rays and then to let it come back to earth and then euthanize (kill!) it to pull the brain apart.

In which world do we live that we think a statue they built for this cat is a compensation for its lost life? A statue in this case may seem like honoring the cat, but it's not making any sense since cats don't understand what statues are. It only underlines the narrative for humans that it's okay to kill animals for scientific purposes if you honor them afterwards. This is not how I perceive myself as a Christian. Life should be honored at any time. In monasteries the nuns and monks refuse to eat meat because they try to honor the life God gave the animals. Why can't people accept that what they did was wrong? Why can't it both be true at the same time? Yes, you did something wrong. Yes, it's somehow served a purpose but it wasn't a justified killing.

People need to be very careful when it comes to justifying murder just because it served a "purpose".

This is quite possibly the only Bible passage I'd get tattooed on me ✨

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you.

Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.

Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.

Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.

You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.

You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

-James 5:1-6

I didn't get to go to the concert of my favorite band of all time and honestly, I am so sad. I know this is one of my lesser problems in life. But man. . . It hurts

The results after my surgery came back negative, which means I am virus free right now ❤️ I am asking the saints for their intercession that it may stay this way. If you have a prayer to spare, it would be much appreciated!

Since I started being on tumblr again I realized that the realities of differently aged people are very different. Obvious I guess? Of course, but in a weird way after living through so much pain in my life - I realize that, for a lot of teenagers, pain for something little seems unbearable.

A heartbreak from a random person they met two times is unbearable, a stomach bug is something you have to ask the whole www to pray for you.

What I realize is how much support they need externally even though they present themselves as strong and adult on this platform. That is by no means insulting. It means that teenagers are still children and not tiny adults. We should treat them like that.

I am double the age of some people here and still so young and stupid and I realize I will never be as wise as God is. For him, I will forever be a child. Like those young ones on tumblr are for me.
