Go Sikh community, you are truly American heroes. 

[callmestp]

If this actually happened (and I can believe it, considering the generosity that the Sikh are known for), then yes, I definitely support it.

Here is the article

Sikhs opened their temple doors to Oroville Dam evacuees — and strangers came pouring in

and here the article the picture came from (although it has an obviously more political bend to it)

Trump supporter evacuated from Oroville dam: ‘I feel like a refugee’

Sikh temples are usually very charitable, (correct me if I’m wrong but) I believe most - if not all - of them will always serve food to anyone who comes through their doors of they need it.

I remember when I was in grade 7 a gas pipe at my school burst and we had to be evacuated. This happened in the middle of January in Canada, and we ultimately had to stand outside for an hour until the local temple offered to house all 1,500 students until we could go back to school.

I will always reblog the generosity of religious communities no matter the religion, because they do so humbly and without proclaiming it to the whole world, so we don’t hear of it much. It’s nice to be reminded that they are out there and they do stuff like this.

Rest in peace Norma McCorvey

“The sad story of my days as a pro-choice activist, days that I am happy are long gone, is recounted in the book I am Roe. The marvelous story of my journey to a new life in Christ and the pro-life movement is recounted in the book Won by Love. Now it is time to add a new chapter to the story of my life, because God had more in store for me even after He made me 100% pro-life and washed me in the waters of baptism.

He wanted me to “come home,” a message that scared me at first, because I did not know what it meant. I kept having this feeling, this vision that someone was talking to me. I finally got to the point to where I was afraid to go to sleep because this kept coming to me in dreams. The message I heard God telling me was, “My child, you’re soon to be with me.” I thought I was going to die! Then one day in my car it became crystal clear what I should do – become Catholic! I told our Heavenly Father, “Oh, I can do that! Not a problem!” And this is the story of how that came to pass.”

JPII is now koala-fied to be a saint.

This really should have more notes. It’s JPII holding a koala bear. Come on, Tumblr, do your job!

The Old Testament pre-figures Mary in the New Testament

Mary is a bridge between the Old and the New Testaments because Scripture shows her representing both the people of Israel and the Church begun by her Son. - Mary in Scripture

[hislittleflower-throughconcrete]

@perpetual-crossroads here’s some more awesome stuff to do with Mary. Typography is kind of like foreshadowing in a book, except God “foreshadows” in real life. That’s typography.

The Holy Family by Bartolome Esteban Murillo c.1660

[hislittleflower-throughconcrete]

As Lent approaches, pray that those struggling with scrupulosity, depression and self-loathing do not fall into the temptation to spend Lent punishing themselves.

Some people won’t understand this maybe, but I know I’m not the only one that struggles with this (tries to give up every enjoyable thing in my life, extreme rigidity in Lenten sacrifice, uses self-deprivation not to unite with God but to punish self,etc)

Any prayers for us would be appreciated.

Nossa Senhora da Rosa Mística by Francisco Laporta Valor. I didn’t know I needed this in my life until I saw this: a portrait of the BVM where she looks like she’s plotting something.
