My beliefs about hell are different from many Christians. Because of this, I’m in the interesting position of being exempt from the age-old atheist criticism that “if you love God just so He doesn’t send you to hell, do you actually love Him?” and am also constantly realizing how many Christians are not exempt from it. You don’t pray because you like to? You don’t enjoy God’s presence? You want to wait until you die and *hopefully* go to heaven before you actually know Him? Why wait until then? Why not have a relationship with God because you simply want to? Your prayer life should not be transactional. You are doing yourself and God a disservice by treating it as such.

Before they took Eve out of him, Adam was something both. He was Adam but he was also Eve. “Male and female He created them.” He was both then. Even if it was only one rib of Adam that was Eve, how could Adam have ignored such a part of himself? How could all of womanhood have been stored in one man’s rib and he not notice? He had no concept that she would one day be somebody else. That womanhood was his. His originally. His at the formation of man. A grain of womanhood, inside his chest. A man seeded with a feminine side so powerful it would grow the vast diversity of women. There’s no way he didn’t notice. There’s no way he didn’t see that seed, that rib, as part of who he was. After all, he was made in God’s image then.

When God said “Let us make man in our image,” He made Adam in all his bothness. Adam’s rib was like God’s rib. Adam’s womanhood was like God’s womanhood. Adam’s rib was taken out of him. Did he miss it? Did he feel an emptiness there? Or was seeing it grown into a unique creature of glory all its own so divinely delightful he had no time to mourn his little rib. Did the first man ever miss his bothness? God never took out His own rib. That womanness is still in there. God’s bothness is intact. Where is God’s rib now?

I found this Michael statue so cute for some reason, so naturally I had to draw him.

This is the Arcangelo Michele (1729) by sculpter Agostino Cornacchini in the Orvieto Cathedral.

No, my St. Michael fixation is still not over. At the end of this month I'll definitely post a collection of all my michaels

On Wednesdays we pray for Saint Joseph

In the Catholic tradition, Wednesday has long been dedicated to Saint Joseph, the foster father of Jesus, the faithful spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the patron of the Universal Church.

Why Saint Joseph?

Because God entrusted him with an extraordinary mission: to protect and provide for the Holy Family. He was chosen to be the chaste spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the foster father of Jesus, and the guardian of the Redeemer.

Though Sacred Scripture records no spoken words of Saint Joseph, his silence speaks volumes. He listened to God, obeyed without hesitation, protected the Holy Family with unwavering courage, and worked humbly to provide for them. His life reminds us that holiness is often found not in extraordinary deeds, but in quiet fidelity to God's will.

For this reason, Catholics turn to Saint Joseph each Wednesday to ask for his prayers:

-`♡´- For our families and homes.

-`♡´- For fathers, husbands, and future fathers.

-`♡´- For workers and those seeking employment.

-`♡´- For purity, humility, and obedience to God's will.

-`♡´- For protection against temptation and evil.

-`♡´- For the grace of a happy and holy death, since tradition holds that Saint Joseph died in the loving presence of Jesus and Mary.

Saint Joseph is also honored with many beautiful titles, including Patron of the Universal Church, Guardian of the Redeemer, Protector of Families, Patron of Workers, and Terror of Demons.

Beautiful Prayers & Devotions to Saint Joseph

If you'd like to honor Saint Joseph on Wednesdays, here are some beautiful ways to grow in devotion to him:

✞ Pray the Litany of Saint Joseph.

✞ Pray the Memorare to Saint Joseph.

✞ Pray the Seven Sorrows and Joys of Saint Joseph.

Saint Joseph never draws attention to himself—he always leads souls to Jesus. By imitating his quiet faith and asking for his powerful intercession, we learn to love Christ more deeply and to entrust ourselves more completely to God's holy will.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Just try your best, get off your phone as much as you can, honor your hurt feelings and also the hurt feelings of others, favor sincerity over nonchalance whenever it’s appropriate to, reach out to people you miss, let go of people when it’s time, operate from a deeply rooted self respect rather than from a lens of what people think, try your best to read the room, sit in the sun on overcast days (with sunscreen on), drink lots of water, pursue everything you want aggressively, accept that your timeline will be different, welcome detours if circumstances call for them, hold both yourself and others accountable, try to move your body as much as you can and you will be okay diva
