Catholic academia in October:
old rosary tangled with earphones in your pocket, reassuring texture of the beads between your fingers. cold hands and hot coffee. late blooming roses reminding you of st. ThérÚse. scribbling latin phrases on the margins. reading The Interior Castle on rainy afternoons. going to the evening mass at sunset and leaving when it's already dark, crunchy leaves under your feet.
St. ThérÚse of Lisieux Novena 2022, Day 1: Just for today
St. ThĂ©rĂšse of Lisieux Novena 2022 â Day 1 | âDo not worry about tomorrow,â Jesus said. ThĂ©rĂšse took his advice and wrote, âif I think about tomorrow, I fear my fickleness.â Her solution? Living âjust for today.â
SCRIPTURE READINGMatthew 6:25â34 Do not worry about tomorrow âTherefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of moreâŠ

âRead this quote and read it again slowly! It is so beautiful and everything I have tried to put into words but canât come close to JP2. âIt is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.ââ

Reasons The Hunger Games Works and None of the Knock-Offs Do:
I just reread The Hunger Games Trilogy, and I have some thoughts about why they work so well and so many others just donât.
Katniss Is Lucky: At every turn Katniss gets lucky. This isnât a âanyone could have done this but no oneâs tried beforeâ or âmain characters is special in some wayâ story. If Katnissâs name had been called instead of Primâs, she probably wouldnât have won. If anyone other then Peeta had been called she wouldnât have won. If Cinna had picked any other year to become a stylist she wouldnât have won. If her father hadnât been a hunter she wouldnât have won. If Madge didnât give her the pin (how Rue decided to trust her) she wouldnât have won. I canât really explain why this is so important to me, but it is. Katniss isnât special or super powered. Sheâs lucky.
Katniss Is A Symbol and 13 Has an Army:Â Katniss is not a rebel leader. There isnât a group of ragtag teenagers who follow her and take on a corrupt government all on their own. Sheâs a symbol to inspire the people in the districts to fight, but no one ever puts her in charge of an army. Why should they? Sheâs a 17 year old, traumatized, child. The only time we do see Katniss lead is at the end of Mockingjay, and then itâs a group of about ten people, most of who end up dead and the mission doesnât succeed. More importantly, 13 beats the capital because they have a fully functioning, highly trained, military ready to go.
These Are CHILDREN: Yes, every young adult story focuses on a teenager, but so many of these stories seem to forge theyâre talking about teenagers. They act as if they are twenty somethings, or in the society set up you are considered an adult at 16. The Hunger Games hammers you over the head with the fact that these are kids. Katniss goes to school. I do not know a single hunger games rip off where the main character goes to completely normal every day school.
The Deathâs Arenât Shock Value: Yes, Primâs death is shocking. Itâs heartbreaking. I knew it was coming and still cried. Thatâs not why itâs there though. The point is how far Coin is willing to go to make sure Katniss is on her side. Everyone elseâs deaths also have a point. Finnick and the others on Katnissâs team show the sacrifice people are willing to make for the cause and for Katniss. Cinna to show Katniss what happens when she resists. Rue is the cruelty of the game. Madge, the cruelness of the capital.
The Goal Is Clear: Mazerunner comes to mind with this one. What was the actual goal after the first book? Hell if I know. In The Hunger Games series thereâs no fancy plan or convoluted thing they need to do. The plan is simple. Hunger Games and Catching Fire:Â âDonât dieâ. Mockingjay thereâs a lot of background stuff happening, but for Katniss the goal is always one thing: kill Snow. Everything she does is a straightforward line to that goal for almost the entire book.
Gale and Peeta: Both Gale and Peeta are totally realistic and reasonable love interests for Katniss. Neither of them are always nice or always perfect, but it easy to see why Katniss struggles to balance the two of them. There is no clear choice between the two. More importantly, the choice is representative of a larger concept. Katniss herself makes the comparison, saying Gale is rage and Peeta is calm. Itâs not just between two guys, itâs between two ways of life and what Katniss needs in her life.
She Picks Peeta: I can not stress enough how important this is. In any of the knock offs I guarantee you that she would have picked Gale. Or, more accurately what would have happened is they would have switched Gale and Peetaâs personalities. Peeta would have been the angry, tortured, mysterious guy, and Gale would have been the kind, artistic, best friend. In this case, she would have still picked Peeta, but the whole point would have been lost. For all intents and purposes it would have been picking Gale. But no. Katniss picks Peeta. She picks calm and peace rather then giving in to Galeâs anger.
District 12 is in West Virginia and the only Other Song people know is The Hanging Tree, like the entirety of the West Virginian population would forget Country Roads?? Fucking unlikely.

âGod has a purpose and a plan for each and every single one of you. We were all created for a purpose. We were all created for a plan; and it doesnât matter whatâs happened in your past; it doesnât matter where youâre at in your life right now, because Jesus can help you overcome anything and use you. Use YOU for a great purpose and I believe that. And this is truly an invitation, this entire day that youâve been blessed to be here with and that you made the choice, you made the YES and thatâs the biggest thing of all today, that you made the YES and chose to come here; and each and every single one of you has a reason and purpose for that; and all of you in your heart has something there, something that God has put on your heart from today. Donât ignore it. Listen, cause thereâs a reason for it, that He put that on your heart, that He put that thereâŠand the decisions that we make right now, today, even when we leave this room, matter tremendously. Donât lie to yourselves. What you do day in and day out matters. And God Loves You. God wants you. He wants to use you and donât sell yourself short. Youâre important to the Kingdom of God and you remember that, especially when those voices try to come at you. And always remember this, any strong hold or anything in your life that has a lot of power over you, that isnât good, you give that to Jesus. You take that to Jesus in confession. You take it to Him in adoration. You take it to our lady. And the weapon of the rosary. Because the devil cannot follow you into the light. He cannot stand it and He will flee. And you remember that. He will flee. He flees at the sight and the light of Jesus Christ and you use that, He loves you and He wants youâŠ.Donât carry the weight of sin, and the shame and brokenness and live handicapped. But become a whole, strong woman for God, because thatâs what He wants. There is no shame in going and getting help, for being healed. What is the shame in becoming a whole woman for God. Nothing. And itâs a lie that there is shame around it. And have the strength, have that backbone, not that wishbone, and lets do what we know as women, what we know we need to do. âBehold I make all this new.â and thatâs so true, and that is Godâs promise to us and donât ever forget that. No matter what, 'beholdâ He says 'I make all things new.â Just always keep that in your mind and when youâre discouraged or having a hard time, whatever it is going on in your life, that is Jesusâ promise to us.â
